The Center for the Advancement of Architectural Education (CAAE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the pedagogy, degree structure, and the integration of practice and research in architectural education. The CAAE consists of practitioners, educators, researchers and students in architectural and design related fields.
The field of architecture continues to transpose and expand beyond the mere drafting boards and the design of buildings into a much broader, interdisciplinary context. Indeed, the Architecture of the 21st Century is a field that is pushing the technological envelope in computer graphics and media studies by developing virtual environments, animations, video, and high end graphical and educational communication techniques; it is a field that is researching universal design solutions to make spaces and environments accessible and usable to individuals with diverse abilities; it is a field that is exploring sustainable and ecologically sensitive design solutions for buildings, structures, cities, landscapes and entire regions that will impact our global energy consumption and the future of our planet; it is a field that is planning and designing strategies in response to the eminent dangers of terrorism and natural disasters; it is a field that examines environment-behavior interactions and responds to the needs of diverse socio-economic groups; it is a field that preserves heritage, history and culture by restoring and/or reinterpreting the story of a place; it is a field that seeks to improve our physical, psychological, economical and sociological environments, and a field that will ultimately face the challenge of sustaining life on earth.
