The American Institute of Architects Golden Empire Chapter celebrated Architecture Week January 7-14, 2010 with the Triennial Design Awards Competition and annual Chapter Installation Dinner. The purpose of this competition is to not only recognize the achievements of from ‘architect to architect’, but most importantly, this is the chance for architects to educate and enlighten the general public about what it is that the architectural profession encompasses and the incredible opportunities for young people to pursue a future in the profession.
This year eighteen entries submitted from several local architecture firms representing a variety of projects from educational to institutional to proposed projects were entered with a total of five projects being recognized and awarded by a renowned and distinguished jury comprised of Mr Barton Phelps, FAIA, Mr. Dennis, McFadden, FAIA, and Mr. Jeffery Stenfors, AIA LEED AP.
The purpose of The AIA Trust is to develop and offer insurance and benefit programs of the greatest possible value, for members and components of the American Institute of Architects. The Trustees, working with independent consultants, evaluate, select, and monitor programs that meet the Institute's high standards of quality, value, financial stability, service, and coverage. The Trust serves as a member-advocate in getting information and claims handled properly and promptly.
Architects confront risks at many levels daily—and the risks are real and substantial. The AIA Trust is comprised of AIA members just like yourself—who help develop these resources for the AIA member architect to understand the many risks, how to avoid them, and how to deal with them successfully.
