Save the Date: 2013 Annual Conference

Save the date for the 2013 Annual Conference. This year’s conference, organized by the Architectural Institute of British Columbia in partnership with the American Institute of Architects – Northwest & Pacific Region, takes place October 23-26 at the Vancouver Convention Centre West. This year’s conference’s theme – Sea Change: Architecture on the Crest – calls attention to the dynamic, critical times in which we live. Forces of change, both natural and man-made, are shaking the foundations of our communities and stirring questions about our shared future. Global issues such as livability, sustainability, affordability and environmental impact are felt by all, with a particularly strong resonance within the architectural profession. The goal of this conference is to inform, excite, challenge and inspire in order to bring about positive change. It will also serve to underscore the important role that architects can and should play in helping to continue charting the course for successful, sustainable communities.
