3A, and its predecessor 2AES, has been, for approximately the past sixteen years, an attempt on the part of a single architect, with the support and backing of many architects, to bring the world of architecture to a public interested but uneducated toward, the profession and what it does. With its public setting and visibility, 3A attempts to present the world of the built environment to a public at large who would otherwise take for granted the vast body of intellect and force it encompasses.
