The New Design Economy: Presented by Stephen Fiskum, AIA While most industries experience subtle realignment over time, an accelerated pace of change happens during significant economic events like the one we are in the midst of today. The design and construction industries are in a state of change with impacts being felt in many areas including client expectations, team relationships, and design and construction delivery processes. Steve will share insights on how the design and construction industries are evolving as our economy’s “new normal” unfolds. He will draw information from several sources including a recent study of the architectural profession by the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Business and an analysis of industry trends by the Design Futures Council Think Tank. 1 AIA LU September 20, 2011 The Center for Architecture Free for AIA Members; $20 for Non-AIA Members to attend Download a Chapter Meeting Flyer!
