A SPECIAL DOCUMENTARY:

Ideals ByDesign and the AIA Global Campus

The redevelopment of The American Institute of Architects (AIA) headquarters into the AIA Global Campus for Architecture & Design® is the subject of a new short documentary, Ideals ByDesign.

This special presentation follows the evolution of a historic Brutalist building into one of the nation’s first major net-zero retrofit projects.

Presented in association with the team at ByDESIGN, this documentary brings the story of the AIA’s headquarters to a wide broadcast audience. This collaboration highlights the shared commitment of both organizations to elevate architectural excellence and sustainable innovation.

A Living Model of Innovation

The AIA Global Campus stands as a cultural destination in the heart of Washington, D.C. The project demonstrates how existing infrastructure can be transformed into a living model of sustainability and historic preservation. Every space within the campus is designed to invite connection, spark creativity, and welcome the public into the future of the built environment.

Redefining Architecture in Media: As Seen in IBT

The conversation dives into:

  • Beyond Aesthetics: Why modern architecture is shifting focus toward the tangible difference it can make for the climate.
  • A Collective Voice: How the AIA provides a sounding board and secure base for architects navigating increasingly challenging environments.
  • Community Connection: Transitioning from "architects talking to architects" to a space that welcomes everyone with open doors.

From testing the furniture in the EVP/CEO’s office to a surprise gift of AIA socks, this feature captures the importance of understanding the positive impact design has on our world.

In this ByD+ Feature, Executive Producer Mike Chapman returns to the site to see the finished transformation. When Mike last filmed here, the project was still largely in its conceptual stage—a bold plan for a net-zero headquarters and a hub for the architectural community.

Today, he catches up with 2026 AIA Executive Vice President/CEO Carol Wedge, FAIA, NOMA, LEED AP, to experience the completed space firsthand. Starting at the new Grace Street Coffee Roasters, they explore how biophilic design, flexible event spaces, and community-focused exhibits have turned a historic building into a phenomenal example of adaptive reuse.
