DESCRIPTION:

Architecture Month began in Los Angeles in 2007. As the years passed, several cities joined the effort to honor their unique architectural heritage during October. In New York City, Architecture Month is "Archtober."

Each city has its traditions, often paired with community education efforts designed to teach the public about architecture and what it is. Below is the original resolution establishing Architecture Month in Los Angeles.
