why we exist

Gathering architects who want to make more than buildings.

As architects, we are used to learning brand new skills fast. While there are plenty of free/cheap online materials for self-learning, what we need is the time to be each other’s sounding board. While there are many networking events, we need a venue that facilitates authentic bonding. To address these needs, we are bringing back the good ol’ pin-up sessions. This gives CritRoom its name and kept us going one cycle after another. Join us.
