This year’s AIA AHC Fall Conference includes one day of interdisciplinary presentations, design case studies, and conversations around how we think about the impacts of our design work. While designing for the patient is clearly a central driver of the work we do, there have been more discussions over the past two years about designing for the caregiver, designing for our communities, and how our work impacts the environment.

Join us for the final session of this 3-part Small Firm Series, Rena M. Klein and her colleagues at Charrette Venture Group will share fundamental knowledge, strategies, tools, and resources for successful small firm adaptation and transformation. Tailored to the needs and interests of small firm practitioners, these interactive half-day sessions will include compelling presentations, case study features, workshop activities, and ample time for peer-to-peer discussion.

Join our Comp Plan Work Group that meets every 1st and 3rd Wednesday, 12-1 pm. The city’s Comp Plan will address crucial questions around how we accommodate growth over the next two decade, distribute opportunity, what our neighborhoods should look like, and what changes we need to make to create a more sustainable and resilient city.

As AIA Seattle reflects on our pursuit of racial justice, we are committing to a process of transparency in what measurable actions we are taking. As a member-led organization, we are establishing this evolving list for the sake of mutual accountability — so you may see what we are doing, and tell us where we should be moving in the future.

We know there is hard work to be done to achieve Racial Justice. We’ve compiled an evolving list of Racial Justice Resources. we’ve found helpful in this work.

AIA Seattle believes our world needs the visionary and integrative thinking of architects and designers, and that design solutions can positively impact our communities.
