Thank you to everyone involved with Barkitecture 2022!

All thanks to the hard work of Sarah Peacock (Barkitecture Committee Chair), our amazing Barkitecture Teams, our partners at Young-Williams Animal Center, WorkSpace Interiors (Barkitecture Sponsor) and our lovely auction winners, AIA East Tennessee was able to give $1,272 to help provide housing for our furry friends at Young-Williams Animal Center! This is the largest amount to date that we have donated to Young-Williams!
If you would like us to help double our impact next year, sign up to build a house for one of our furry friends in 2023! Sign-Ups for 2023 have been extended until December 31st!

How it works:
- Pull together a team of designers, builders, animal lovers, and other interested individuals.
- Design and build a doghouse or a cat tree.
- Your team will be paired with a business, where your creation will be displayed. Deliver your abode and let the bidding begin!
- Collect awards for CATegory champions and help Young-Williams raise some DOGgone money for their efforts.
- See your creation provide joy for an animal!
Critical Considerations:
- Your structure should be able to fit (whole or for assembly) through a standard 34” door.
- You will need to deliver your structure to its display site.
- You may need to assist the buyer of your structure in transporting it from the display site or provide them an assembly diagram.
- Materials matter—both for moving and for Most Sustainable Design! What can you keep out of a landfill as you create your structure?
- If your pet house is for exterior shelter, it should meet these requirements: It must have at least three sides and a weatherproof roof; have a solid level floor raised at least two inches from the ground and be adequately ventilated; it must provide shelter from wind, rain, sun, extreme weather conditions and the elements at all times (Knox County Code of Ordinances, Sec. 6-44).
