The mission of the Architectural League is to advance the art of architecture. The League carries out its mission by promoting excellence and
innovation, and by fostering community and discussion in an independent
forum for creative and intellectual work in architecture, urbanism, and
related disciplines. We present the work and ideas of the world?s most
interesting and influential architects and designers to New York,
national and international audiences, through lectures, exhibitions,
publications, and online. We identify and encourage talented
young architects, through competitions, grants, exhibitions, and
publications. And we help shape the future of our built environment by
stimulating debate and provoking design thinking about the critical
issues of our time.
