I was part of the SE ASIA 2022 Fall Symposium as a representative of Vietnam. My job was to invite an architect with a pioneering spirit and introduce them to the international AIA community. M.A. Hoang Manh was chosen to represent Vietnam in this conference with his lecture “Inside Out – Outside In”.
Hello, Everyone!
Welcome to AIA International’s Newsletter of 2022 for Q2.
The second quarter was a very busy and important one for us. Major highlights included our most superb Spring Virtual Conference, our popular Quarterly Country Rep Networking event, Continental Europe’s Porto Conference, the Nigerian Institutes of Architects’ Lagos Architects Forum, and, of course, A’22.
Deadline: August 12, 2022, 5:00pm Eastern US Time
The 2022 AIA International Design Awards are open for submissions and we are excited for you to share your work!
AIAISC ‘22, the AIA International Spring Conference, returned this year on May 19-21. This year’s theme asked us to consider, how do architects position themselves to embrace change? Over 3 days, this virtual event allowed us to travel the world, through lectures, panel discussions and workshops from Canada to Japan and Brazil to Australia.
AIA Canada Society continues to reach out and expand on our initiatives to promote services to our members. In addition to partnership with Canadian Architect magazine (which features a quarterly profile of AIA Canada Journal), we are partnering with the Architect’s Newspaper to provide members with a discount for attending the Facades+ Toronto event coming up on July 21.
The Porto Conference, April 21 – 24, 2022 was a great success. Thanks to the Planning Team for the superb experience: Ray Spano, Pedro Balonas, Teresa Vasconcelos Bento, Pedro Petracchi and Elizabeth Heudebourg! More than 65 AIA members and guests attended the conference from all over Europe and North America including Honolulu.
As Hong Kong has gradually loosened its COVID-19 restrictions over the past two months, we have been grateful for the opportunity of hosting in person events. These include building tours of the Advanced Manufacturing Centre, Bishop Hill Reservoir, Haw Par Mansion, and Shaw Auditorium where our members were excited to meet each other in person.
With the start of 2022, we have a new board comprised of the elected officers, the representatives of each chapter, three at-large directors focussed on the at-large members not represented by a local chapter, and adjunct directors that continue to contribute their experience to the board.
