About Shape of AmericaThe buildings that we live in and use are rich in history and significance — monuments to our communities‘ and nation‘s image and innovation. More than mere buildings, America‘s most recognizable structures and those not so well known in our communities, influence our lives and inspire us to dream. They are the Shape of America. To mark The American Institute of Architects 150th anniversary in 2007, Americans from coast to coast engaged in a conversation about these structures, voting for their favorite buildings, bridges, monuments and memorials. Now the AIA is continuing the national dialogue through a stimulating series of videos, in which AIA architects share their personal stories, opinions and insights about these works of architecture.   It’s because it’s so graceful and that grace leads to really great beauty and I think as Marshall said a few minutes ago it’s also really one of the great iconic symbols that it’s something you have a memory of in your head when you mention it because of that grace and beauty and its originality.
