AROUND THE CHAPTER AIA COLUMBUS FEATURED IN ARTICLE AIA Columbus and the Center for Architecture and Design were featured in an article on the AIA website about how adaptively reused buildings tell the story of what design can do. Check out the article to see more examples of architecture centers across the country. AROUND THE AIA HOW DID AN ARCHITECT CHANGE YOUR LIFE? Please assist us with a quick exercise to collect stories about the impact Architects have made in a person's life. The intent is not for you to answer the question (unless you have a family member who changed your life by being an Architect) but rather for you to forward the survey link to your family members, friends, clients and public officials.
