Coming up next month:
Re-imagining HemisFair
The Emerging Professionals Committee, in partnership with the Plaza de Armas publication, is pleased to host an exciting design opportunity. Re-imagining HemisFair is a design charette with a call for entries that re-imagine the ITC and John Wood Federal Courthouse in HemisFair Park. Proposals can be architectural or programming interventions and improvements to the existing buildings. Or if a strong enough case can be made, proposals can be made for demolition and re-use of existing foot-print. The end goal is to display results on-line to show the public a broad range of possibilities for the future of these sites and sponsor further public discussion.
Saturday, 13 April the Center for Architecture will host a studio-like environment for teams to refine and assemble their entries, culminating in a digital pin-up and presentation. Stay tuned for more details. And if you're interested in participating or helping organize, send a note to

Fun with Fellows photos
Last month's Fun with Fellows event was a great success. Many thanks to Sue Ann Pemberton, Lloyd Jary, Gabriel Durand-Hollis, John Grable, & Matt Morris for spending some time chatting with Emerging Professionals about a their storied careers and describing how being a member of the AIA has been a benefit to them. See below for some photos from the event. If you missed out, don't sweat it- we'll reconvene with the Fellows again closer to the Summer time.
