  1. History of Jersey City through the Lens of Architecture –
    trace the city’s evolution from its earliest settlements to its grand civic buildings and modern skyline.

  2. The Railway System in Jersey City –
    uncover the powerful role of railroads, terminals, and canals in transforming the city into a transportation hub.

  3. Adaptive Reuse –
    discover how historic factories, schools, and warehouses have been reimagined for contemporary life.

  4. Row Houses –
    explore the city’s iconic residential architecture, from brownstones to wood-frame homes, and learn how these neighborhoods tell stories of community and change.

IMMIGRANT ARCHITECTS

CHARITY WALK

Immigrant Architects is a group of friends who are also architects, each with the shared experience of arriving in a new country, adapting, and practicing architecture across different cultures and contexts. These journeys have deepened our appreciation for the cultural diversity that people bring to communities, design, and daily life

We are proud to join the 2025 NJCIC Walk, organized by the New Jersey Consortium for Immigrant Children. This annual walk raises awareness and funds to support NJCIC’s incredible work, including providing legal support to immigrant children who would otherwise have no access to help or protection.

By walking together, we stand with NJCIC in building stronger, more connected communities where diversity is celebrated and every voice is valued.

WAYS TO SUPPORT US

Make a donation here. Select “Immigrant Architects” as your team.
