WHAT ARCHITECTURE AS A ?
As Architecture is an international network that promotes architecture in the world as a cultural resource, in the interest of the community in which the architectural production is destined .
born as a route between the cultures of the world to explore, within the architecture, the uniformity and diversity, globalization and tradition, the world and various countries. These issues, seemingly contradictory, are the subject of possible reflections on quali avviare un confronto per analizzare la complessità della città contemporanea, i rapporti tra paesaggio costruito e naturale, tra ambiente e abitanti, tra spazi e risorse energetiche, in un’ottica di sostenibilità dell’architettura.
Tale programma è connesso anche con le nostre attività su internet; da gennaio 2009 siamo presenti su Facebook gestendo un gruppo di architettura, A As Architecture – A Come Architettura , ad oggi con circa 12.000 iscritti provenienti da oltre cento paesi, con una crescita di circa mille nuove adesioni mensili.
The network was established in 2010 in a cultural association to improve relations with public and private institutions and to promote discussions, conferences, seminars, conferences, workshops and training courses, exhibitions and architecture competitions. A small achievement that gave us the strength to undertake new activities aimed at creating a blog about architecture, its own channels on YouTube and Vimeo and a space where you can enter your Flickr photo archive.
We offer a starting point for a comparison between people of different cultures, experiences and backgrounds, within a heterogeneous network made up of students and academics, young professionals and architects established, small businesses and publishing in international journals, websites and portals in different countries.
HOW ARCHITECTURE AS A ?
The network is characterized by an "open system", not only as a structure to which it can share the spirit and anyone who wants to collaborate, but also how programs and projects, which can be either changing over time and urged the participants and is also promoted outside.
The group As Architecture is made up of people who want to grow it using some of their free time to coordinate and guide activities within one of the editors, with an approach to architecture as a process and not as a stylistic expression.
We offer a reading key to the social, cultural and economic environment in which a project is included, other than what is being proposed by many international magazines and specialized websites, too often committed to introduce a project emphasizing only its author, its beauty and its innovation, all the more often concentrated on the 'object' that conveys emotions spatial and formal, but not often know and understand where it is and the context in which it relates.
the preparation involved, volunteering their expertise and professionalism, about thirty people in charge of communication, press office, promoting events, secretarial and management of our group page on facebook and "windows ", insights on the architecture of the world, the blog, the video production and our space on Flickr.
were carried out on facebook three separate editions for language ( As Architecture in English - A How in Italian Architecture - Arquitectura Como A in English) to promote direct relations with members and help to promote a network of qualified partnership interest in the project, to coordinate common activities for promotion of local and international.

HOW TO COST ARCHITECTURE AS A ?
One of the prerogatives of A As Architecture è quella di cercare di “fare sistema”, ovvero di mettere insieme le forze per coordinarci su programmi comuni con possibili altri partner. Le attività di collaborazione possono avvenire se:
- sei un blogger, partecipando al nostro blog collettivo;
- possiedi un sito di architettura o una rivista presente anche sul web, condividendo gli articoli;
- hai una tua organizzazione o una azienda di prodotti e materiali affini all’architettura, diventando partner nella realizzazione di eventi.
Far parte della nostra rete di partnership means to create opportunities together, both efficiency and the development of its activities and those of our joint programs. A quick start up an international collaboration with other bloggers to share articles, requesting them to publish in our blog and our web spaces and at the same time providing maximum visibility to their blog, thus helping to expand and deal with various issues of architecture.
We pay special attention also to companies, associations and organizations who want to occasionally or regularly participate in our activities, through seminars, workshops and conferences made by videoconference and in several countries in the world. Coming soon will promote Our first major event will be held in Florence and will be attended by international guests and companies with whom we share common programs.
As Architecture however, is not an association that does not use advertising information to do promotions on behalf of companies, will only promote products or services that are of interest to the network and can be a valuable and innovative tool documentation for your profession or business.
In this sense, we bring out some proposals that may be transmitted both through our events, in our space on the Internet, and with a more specific information addressed directly to the members of our network.
As Architecture groups on the internet more than 30,000 participants widely circulated in many countries, divided into groups, pages and windows on facebook and other web spaces, will soon be created a special website. With a daily average of about fifty members, this is a reality that grows not only quantitatively but also qualitatively, for both participants and activities.
These are the conditions from which it takes shape, our association, to give those interested the opportunity to be part of this joint project, each with its own identity and activities.
