About CFAD
What We Do
The Center for Architecture and Design is a non-profit organization that promotes the value of architecture and design to the public through programming and outreach, thereby enriching our community and design professions by building diversity and connections.

Principal, TRIAD Architects, and Past Board Chair, The Center for Architecture and Design
“When we opened CFAD in 2010, our goal was to create a gateway for education, conversation and debate about the important link between quality design and the livability of our community. Since then we have become a resource for central Ohioans who want to be in-the-know about architecture and design, thus establishing CFAD as the gateway of ideas for all things design.”
