Leadership in Design 1 Message from the Chair and the Executive Director

Engaging Exhibitions Our flagship exhibition for fiscal year 2009, opening in October 2008, was Green Com- munity, an unprecedented examination of the infrastructure and landscapes that serve as the connective tissue between buildings. It featured large and small communities around the world that offer lessons in environmentally respon- sible design and planning, from the conversion of disused industrial land into a residential neighborhood in Atlanta, to the creation of an entirely new, carbon-neutral city in the United Arab Emirates. The exhibition’s interactive components received a Gold Award—the high- est honor—for Interpretive Interactive Installa- tions in the American Association of Museums’ MUSE Awards program. The exhibition was complemented above: The Places We Live exhibition featured nyone reading the 2009 annual report by a major symposium titled 1909 – 2109: photographer Jonas Bendiksen’s large-scale of a nonprofit organization will expect to photographs of 20 different families living in Sustaining the Lasting Value of American Plan- four slums around the world.
