AIA Launches
Advocates Sustainable Buildings & Communities
The "Walk the Walk" Campaign was developed to position the AIA in a leadership role in the area of sustainable buildings and communities thereby establishing AIA architects as the people capable of leading the nation into a new era of environmentally-friendly thinking.
"Walk the Walk" was born from the idea that there is a lot of talk about the future of the planet but not enough action being taken to set us on the right path. At its core, "Walk the Walk" is an "empowerment" campaign designed to let people know that a course of action is available.

What Has the AIA Done for You Lately?
June 2008
The Pinnacle of Practice Information
In time for the AIA 2008 National Convention and Design Exposition, the AIA and its strategic partners launched an amazing array of practice tools that make architects more effective and the quality of your work even greater in the eyes of clients and public officials.
Chief among these are The Architect's Handbook of Professional Practice, 14th edition, and the new integrated project delivery contract documents (see below).
Also newly available at the convention were Architecture: Celebrating the Past, Designing the Future, a book highlighting the AIA's first 150 years, and Managing Project Risk, the culmination of three years of risk management articles by Grant Simpson, FAIA, and Jim Atkins, FAIA. For information on any of these publications, visit the AIA Bookstore.
For those AIA members unable to get to
New AIA Integrated Project Delivery Agreements Introduced at Convention
The AIA introduced two sets of documents May 15 at the AIA 2008 National Convention and Design Exposition. The first, a set of three agreements, is a transitional approach to integrated project delivery and features an owner-architect agreement form, a separate owner-contractor agreement form, and a general conditions document that defines the responsibilities of each participant, with a guaranteed maximum price amendment. The second, more novel agreement is the C195™–2008, Standard Form Single Purpose Entity Agreement for Integrated Project Delivery, which creates a limited liability company among the owner, architect, construction manager, and possibly other parties, according to the specifics of a particular project. Howard Goldberg, Esq., outside counsel to the AIA Documents Committee, has prepared a detailed explanation of these new documents, available here. And for a full range of AIA Document resources, with a 100+ year history of consensus development, visit AIA.org.
Putting You Ahead of Difficult Times
AIA Chief Economist Kermit Baker continues to offer insights plumbed from the AIA Work on the Boards research of how members are faring in the current economic downturn. His latest findings show that institutional work is holding steady, and firms in the South are doing the best in the country right now. For details, visit the latest Work on the Boards article from AIArchitect.
Baker also keynoted a recent Web seminar, offering CES learning units and free to members, on staying ahead in a down economy, directed to architecture firms both large and small.
AIA Marketing at the Head of the Class
The new AIA integrated marketing campaign "Walk the Walk" is earning well-deserved kudos. Walk the Walk specifically directs potential clients to the AIA ArchitectFinder and How Design Works for You Web pages. The jury for the annual Architectural Record Excellence in Advertising Awards selected the "Walk the Walk" Architects Leading the Sustainable Evolution" ad as "Best in Class" for single page ads that appeared in the magazine in 2007. The AIA was one of 18 ads selected for the award. And the AIA Contract Documents received an "Honorable Mention" for an ad announcing the updated 2007 edition of the Industry Standard AIA Contract Documents.
To top off the effectiveness of AIA public outreach efforts, the AIA America's Favorite Architecture site earned a People's Choice Webby award for 2008. The Webbys are presented by The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, a 550-member body of leading Web experts, business figures, luminaries, visionaries, and creative celebrities. You can check out all the winners at www.webbyawards.com.
