Association of Licensed Architects
Tours & Outings

Architecture is learned in the field.

Four times a year, ALA puts members inside notable projects: buildings under construction, completed landmarks, and spaces the public never sees. You walk the site with the architects who designed it, ask the questions drawings never answer, and trade ideas with peers on the way out.

What a tour looks like

Behind the hoarding

Site tours of projects in progress, led by the design and construction team, with the detailing conversations that only happen in person.

The architects in the room

Small groups, direct access, honest answers. Tours are sized so you can actually talk to the people who made the decisions.

Worth the afternoon

Many tours pair with a reception or outing, because half the value is the hour afterward with fellow members.

Scheduling

Announced by season, filled fast

Tour dates and locations are announced on the event calendar and by member email as each is confirmed. Spots are limited by site-safety counts, so registration favors the quick.

Next Tour

Boots, questions, and a hard hat.

Watch the calendar for the next date, or suggest a building you want inside of.
