Civic buildings should be places where citizens feel safe and welcomed, where they can grow and learn, and where they can strengthen their community ties. Designed by AIA members and featured in its Design for Decades initiative, the design projects featured in this slide show highlight the intersection of city government, community interaction, and public education--courthouses, federal office buildings, convention centers, children's shelters, and more--all demonstrating the lasting value of design.
