"Transitions: Architecture in a Time of Change"

September 19-21, 2013
Downtown Marriott, Louisville, KY

Louisville, KY, will host the next AIA Ohio Valley Region Convention on September 19-21, 2013. The convention is expected to bring together well over 400 architects from all areas of the region for three days of programs and networking.

Architecture, by its very nature, is a profession of change. From politics, to culture, by technology and contemporary trends, the profession of design creates spaces that speak to and reflect the changing needs of society. Through a focused vision, architects design change.

Within a changing world, the profession itself is not isolated from these internal and external influences. Our evolving roles, changing business practices and the development of new project delivery methods significantly affect the day to day business of design. The need to educate, understand, and implement change within the profession has never been greater. Through paths of Design, Sustainability and Practice, this year's convention will focus on key influences that continue to shape our practices and our profession.

• Design: How do we remain relevant?
• Sustainability: How do we incorporate it?
• Practice: How do we better understand it?

Transition with AIA Ohio Valley Region as we work together to better understand and to better prepare for the many changes we anticipate for our profession.
