Outreach
AIA Bucks County believes it is our responsibility to serve our community, and at the very height of community outreach and AIA’s mission is to reach out to local schools. In our service area, we are fortunate to have some of the best education systems and the brightest students in the state. Our members have given guest presentations at local schools, and design critiques on students projects!
Mini Golf Design 2022
Holy Ghost prep High School
AIA Bucks County partnered with Holy Ghost prep and their art and engineering classes. The high school students are currently designing a mini golf hole and bridge respectively. Several of our members spent an afternoon with the classes presenting the profession of architecture to them. The students then presented their sketches for their projects and the AIA members held small group critiques. Since the students will not complete their projects until the second semester, AIA Bucks County will meet with them again in the spring.
This has become a tradition that we participate in every year. If you are interested in volunteering reach out to buckscountyaia@gmail.com and find out how you can get involved!

The Nest (Bird Blind) On Going
George School
This birdblind is of special significance as it will be a memorial to honor the memory of Maggie Popkin, a former student of The George School who passed in November of 2019. The birdblind will be on The George School's campus and was requested by the Popkin family.
AIA Members, Michael Raphael, Gretchen Ginnerty and Charles Chichester have been working with The George School to organize a mentorship program this Spring to construct a Birdblind (A birdblind is a screen or structure that enables bird watchers to observe Birds without being seen). We are pleased to announce that the school and our organization are moving out of the schematic design phase and moving into design development.
