AIA CAE 2009 FALL CONFERENCE LETTER FROM THE CHAIR Welcome to the 2009 fall conference of the AIA Committee on Architecture for Education! Our focus this year has been on the urban learning environment. In June, we met in Pittsburgh and explored a variety of environments, topics and research into creating effective centers for learning. Over the next three days we will explore the issues, strategies and potential solutions that urban school districts around the country encounter as they create environments to foster academic success. Our context this weekend is New York City, but what we learn here can be implemented in all learning environments. We look forward to a rich discussion as we explore case studies, projects and research relevant to our topic. Our discussion will take several forms, including interactive small group activities with real problems to solve. A sincere thank you to all of our sponsors for making this event possible. Without their support, the opportunities to engage in this type of discussion would not be possible. We also want to thank the AIA staff for the tremendous effort they have put into planning, coordinating and resolving all the logistical challenges of a program like this. Finally, I want to extend a personal thank you to the planning committee for the conference. The immeasurable hours they have volunteered to plan the program, bring in the speakers, find sponsors and arrange the project tours make this experience a great success. We look forward to a rich discussion and an energetic three days together. When you leave this conference, we want to encourage all of you to become more involved in the work of the Committee on Architectural Education by becoming active in one of our five subcommittees. Your involvement is critical to the success of those groups, and to the continued success of the CAE. Best regards, Tim Dufault 2009 Chair, AIA Committee on Architecture for Education.

This year’s conference is themed, “Designing Learning Environments to Rebuild Urban America”. Rebuilding our learning environments places architects in a pivotal position as leaders to modernize our schools, in turn developing the future intellectual capital: our young learners. New York City schools will serve as our laboratory to examine history, trends, and innovations, both in educational theory and practice, as well as construction. This conference brings together researchers, educators, students, and design professionals to explore the school building as a vehicle for implementing change. Presentations, panel discussions, and workshops are planned to engage you as a participant and encourage you to expand your current understanding of what learning is. Furthermore, site visits to area schools serve as examples of how to design learning environments around current pedagogy and anticipate the future learning environments. From these activities, we are hopeful that new strategies will emerge to create schools that are both viable and inspiring. Lastly, we intend that this conference become the springboard to encourage a continuing dialogue on how pedagogical places may be designed to engage students in real, rigorous, and relevant learning experiences.
