About Architecture Month: For 19 years, AIA Honolulu has celebrated Architecture Month with an exciting array of public events. This annual series features a dynamic mix of free and for-cost activities that underscore the transformative power of good design in making our communities better places to live, work, and play.

World Architecture Day is celebrated on the first Monday of October, coinciding with the UN's World Habitat Day. The International Union of Architects chose this day to encourage reflection on the state of our towns and cities and to promote the fundamental right to adequate shelter. It serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility for the future of human habitats.

About Our Programs: As a place of convergence, the Mill serves as both a community and a physical place–celebrating the power of the arts, bringing people, ideas and perspectives together.
