The six-state American Institute of Architects Western Mountain Region, established in 1959, is comprised of the AIA State Components of Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. These states take turns every year to host the annual regional conference. Join us in Albuquerque for visionary discussions about Design, Leadership, Sustainability, and Advocacy! The last day of the Summit is the first day of Albuquerque's International Balloon Fiesta, a great time to visit!

Open Call: Mountain Architecture Prototype (MAP), an SPM Design Competition
Utah-based community project Summit has announced Mountain Architecture Prototype (MAP), an SPM Design Competition, "to select the design of a cabin prototype in an effort to push forward the conversation around what it means to build responsibly at 8,400 feet in the Wasatch [Mountain] Range.”
The competition seeks submissions for a structure of up to 2,500 square feet, which will be located on a 12 degree sloped site at Summit Powder Mountain. Sustainable designs are highly encouraged, particularly with the use of natural materials.
