There have also been some great Architecture As A Day Job talks. If you missed these, they will be available online soon.

If you haven’t had a chance to participate in one of Lorenzo Nassimbeni’s online Linework Drawing Workshops, I would highly recommend them. They are a great way to get out of a pandemic-induced creative slump. GIfA members get a discount.

We’re working on some fun but safe, in-person, between-wave events to connect with our fellow members in the coming months. One is an Amazing Architectural Race. Involving small teams and social distancing, the aim of this race is to get us to reconnect with the city and our local architectural gems.

Past experience shows that it will be a great team-building event and involves very little maturity and higher than expected competitiveness. EDITORIAL GIfA MARKETING COMMITTEE
