The Center for Understanding the Built Environment (CUBE) brings together educators with community partners to effect change which will lead to a quality of built and natural environment, one and interdependent.

Several excellent publications on education are available including Using Houses and Home, Using Listed Buildings, Using School Buildings, Using Historic Houses, and Using Industrial Sites.

The world we build for ourselves--from our homes, offices, and factories to our parks, roads, and cities as a whole -- is the subject of the National Building Museum.

This is a good site to check out, especially for social studies/history/civics teachers.

Ever since it was founded in 1949, the National Trust has shown how preservation can play an important role in strengthening a sense of community and improving the quality of life.

The major purpose of this home page is to encourage the use of the World Wide Web as a tool for learning and teaching and provide some help for K-12 classroom teachers in locating and using the resources of the Internet in the classroom.

The goals of the AIE website are to help teachers integrate the built environment into their lesson plans through suggested activities and sample projects and to connect teachers with each other, architects,. and architectural students to share ideas and inspirations.
