The AIA DC - Urban Design Committee (https://www.aiadc.com/committee/urban-design-committee) has a fun stay at home challenge for everyone. In this challenge, let us look at what is happening outside through the lens of a camera (cell phones make for great cameras). So, open your windows and share your images!
Join us for the second program in Design for Everyone, a lecture series that seeks to open up conversations about design to broader, more diverse audiences. Produced by Form Function Studio in partnership with Goethe-Institut and DC Public Library.
The Hybrid Plattform and Futurium are inviting the public to another “Hybrid Futures” event, where artists and scientists come together to talk about past and present visions of the future that have inspired their work.

With the current economic volatility and a looming recession, this conference brings together the brightest business minds in our profession to provide you with insights, guidance and tactics to not only survive the next few months, but thrive. AIA Houston invites you to participate in an exciting two days of virtual learning. The conference will educate and inform architects on tools and strategies to navigate the current global crisis and anticipate the new normal beyond.
In these times when we are experiencing an extraordinary situation that limits travel and the possibility of holding events together, we still want to keep alive the debate on the dissemination of architecture in the media. For this reason, this year the venue of the event moves from the inspiring Mies van der Rohe Pavilion in Barcelona to the YouTube channel of Fundació Mies van der Rohe.
The European Conference on Architecture & the Media is conceived as a place to meet and exchange experiences on the dissemination of architecture. It is addressed to journalists, cultural institutions and organisations, communication professionals, architects and architecture lovers.
Herewearch is an independent student platform that is shaped by theme of design students sharing. We believe that design is powered by sharing by its nature. We want to take this sharing level one step further and we are pleased to announce that we decided to create an annual publication. This publication will find itself a separate place on our platform and each of our journals will be turned into an online magazine and shared on different platforms. Also, we would like to indicate that we will make our first journal ( co -times) into a digital exhibition.
Here You are kindly invited to participate in a competition to provide the Architectural Concept and all associated services described herein as the Concept Designer for Zugló-Városközpont in Budapest, Hungary.
When we came together in February to celebrate the launch of Gathering, we considered transformational retail experiences rooted in brand values; the desire to physically experience a brand – both by drawing energy and inspiration from being in a store to the tactility of the product; and the role retail environments play as a third space in our larger communities. Repeatedly we heard the refrain; “bad retail is dying.” We discussed how retail brands have adapted to embody their values, designed for experiences, and built authentic connections with their consumer base. In today’s context we’re considering the future of that experience in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Bernard & Anne Spitzer School of Architecture at CCNY is hosting a virtual summer show on 27th May at 6pm to celebrate the work of students and faculty during this past academic year. Hosted by the Summer Show Team, the hour-long event will feature video footage; the launch of the school’s new publication, Antidotes, a joint student-staff-faculty initiative; prizes and retirement speeches, as well as a tribute to Michael Sorkin, who tragically passed away in March. The Zoom event can host up to 1,000 people so please join us as we honor this year’s work, reflect on the challenges posed by this unprecedented pandemic and look to the future with a bold vision of curricular and pedagogic change.

In this webinar, Eric Salitsky will present his 2018 Stewardson Keefe LeBrun Travel Grant research, Exploring the Global Phenomenon of Multifaith Spaces. Most commonly found in airports, hospitals, and university campuses, multifaith spaces also exist in military bases, prisons, malls, stadiums, museums, and as stand-alone institutions. Salitsky traveled to over 50 of these spaces in New York, Boston, London, Manchester, Zurich, and Berlin to document the various ways that both architects and laypeople have attempted to solve the inherent issues involved in accommodating the prayer needs of various religions at once.
In this webinar, Amanda Aman, AIA, LEED AP BD+C will present her 2018 Stewardson Keefe LeBrun Travel Grant research, Fragile Fields of the Arctic Circle Periphery. The perpetual global climate shift materializes within the Arctic Circle as a reaction to the pressures of petrochemical industrial output and unsustainable human practice. Arctic environments are among the first to experience the manifestations of this shift as the Arctic is warming at twice the rate of the rest of the globe. As a result, natural systems, wildlife migrations, and patterns of habitation will be severely altered, in addition to the dependence of indigenous people groups on these for cultural preservation and physical survival.
