Israel – Gaza Conflict
As architects, we shape the spaces where life unfolds. Today, our attention is drawn to a region where life and space are embroiled in a devastating conflict in Israel and Gaza. The war is causing unimaginable suffering for civilians on both sides, destroying homes, infrastructure, and lives.
We believe that architecture is about more than just buildings; it’s about building communities, fostering understanding, and promoting peace. With this in mind, we encourage you to extend your compassion and donate to reputable organizations working tirelessly to secure peace and offer relief in this region.
In response to the ongoing Israel – Gaza Conflict, AIA has made a $5,000 donation to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
