Australian Architecture Association

The Australian Architecture Association (AAA) was set up in 2004 as a not-for-profit organisation to promote the understanding of both local and world architecture in Australia. The Chicago Architecture Foundation (CAF) is used as the model for the development of the organisation.

History

In late 2004, the Australian Architecture Association began to offer talks by internationally renowned architects as the Black Talk Series. In 2005, regular architecture tours showcasing important buildings and architecture of Sydney led by volunteer tour leaders began in Sydney city and architecturally significant suburbs of Surry Hills and Castlecrag. In 2006, the Australian Architecture Association started the annual Sydney Architecture Festival on World Architecture Day, first Monday of every October, with the Australian Institute of Architects and the New South Wales Architects Registration Board.

gollark: I guess it's possible that even one which doesn't know about parties might accidentally be biased due to (hypothetically, I don't know if this is true) one party being popular in low-density areas and the other in high-density, or really any other difference in locations.
gollark: You don't actually need simple shapes very badly as long as you have an algorithm which is not likely to be biased.
gollark: Okay, rearrange the states so they're square.
