Transform LA

Transform LA, an Initiative dedicated to inspiring and empowering 9-12 grade students through an inclusive one-day educational event, where they will learn about environmental sustainability methods and approaches for creating resilient architecture. Students will hear from sustainability leaders and will work with architectural mentors throughout the day in creating their own physical architectural models for the ideal sustainable project.

Our goals include introducing students and families to the field of architecture, fostering partnerships with schools and like-minded organizations, and positioning ACLA as a leading resource for all Los Angeles K-12 institutions seeking to learn about architecture.
