The Institute for Advanced architecture was created in 2000 to advance an awareness of Architecture to the widest possible public through research, exchange, and exhibition. The Los Angeles chapter, founded in 2002, is particularly interested in invisible, interactive, and other experimental approaches to architecture. It produces the radio program Building Sound and programs exhibitions, lectures, tours, and workshops at the TELIC gallery in Chinatown.
