April Is Architecture Month
Mark your calendars; April is Architecture Month, an annual AIA Houston project of the Young Architects' Forum. Building on last year's successful "Rotunda Show," we will again be displaying our best work at Memorial City Mall. We are eager to increase our exposure this year so we are starting now with a word of encouragement to each AIA firm. Last year's participants and the show in general received great reviews and provided tremendous exposure for the AIA. More than 100,000 people visited the Mall and viewed the work during the six weeks of the exhibition. This event, unlike many others we will be hosting, gives Houston architects the best chance of showing the general public the diversity and all encompassing nature of our profession.
Details of how to get involved will be provided to each firm in January.
Other events of Architecture Month will include tours, a student day in architects' offices, Celebrate Architecture on April 24 and events created by other organizations such as FotoFest, RDA Home Tour, Greater Houston Preservation Alliance tours. Watch the web site, www.aiahouston.org, and your email for details.
