nawic’s annual block kids building competition 2026
AIA Marianas was happy to help our friends over at the National Association for Women in Construction, serving as judges for their annual Block Kids Building Competition. The event brings together elementary students, allowing them to flex their creative muscles by designing their own creations made of lego blocks. We congratulate the winners and the hardworking team at NAWIC for a successful event!
national architecture week 2026
AIA Marianas joined AIA National in celebrating National Architecture Week from April 12 to 18. As tradition, we invited schools K-12 to have one of our members give their students a presentation on architecture. Due to Typhoon Sinlaku, we had to postpone the presentations, but were thrilled when two of our schools reached out to reschedule. Special thanks to the students and staff at Adacao and Agana Heights Elementary, as well as our members Francis Sinon and Miko Gavino for helping to foster the next generation of architects.

As we navigate the intricate tapestry of existence, we are constantly presented with choices, each a potential pathway to something extraordinary. This is a world where creativity knows no bounds, where the curious mind finds solace, and where the fearless heart discovers uncharted territories. It is a place where the pursuit of knowledge, the embrace of change, and the willingness to take risks are not mere options but essential ingredients for a life well-lived.
Welcome to a world of limitless possibilities, where the journey is as exhilarating as the destination, and where every moment is an opportunity to make your mark on the canvas of existence. The only limit is the extent of your imagination.
