Task Force Report
AIA Columbus Center for Architecture
October 09, 2008
In July, 2008, AIA Columbus organized a Task Force to study the idea of an AIA Columbus Center for Architecture (CFA). The Task for met several times over the summer, completing its work in September.
Centers for Architecture have recently opened in Philadelphia, Portland, Austin, and Houston; others are about to open in North Carolina and Dallas, and others have existed for many years in Chicago, Seattle and New York. While size, cost, and program vary in detail, they all have in common the goal of creating a home for architecture in their city, of creating an exciting place for both members and the public, a place for exhibits, receptions, chapter meetings, and community outreach, as well as creating a home for the chapter’s day to day business.
2008 Strategic Plan
Looking at AIA Columbus in relation to the greater community, the construction industry and the needs of the individual Architect.
What’s next…a Center for Architecture
As we come to the end of one year and near the beginning of another wrought already with dire economic predictions and cutbacks in capital spending by many of our clients, one has to wonder what is on the horizon for the architect. How does our profession cope with the uncertain market condition and the general lack of confidence in the future? Lead! Charge ahead!
As architects, let’s use this time to develop a place that exposes the possibilities for change and has the potential to help us redefine our community. Lead thought, prove our theories, clear the way for prosperity, and help our audience experience first-hand the power of great design. Let’s develop a center for architecture right here, right now.
