Welcome to Los Angeles!
Architects from across the country (and internationally as well) have begun to arrive in Los Angeles for the 2006 AIA Convention and Design Expo. The week is overflowing with activities from tours to continuing education to social events. The Young Architects Forum has a number of events going on during the week including the YAF Preconvention Summit - A Day at the Getty, a day long event including a private tour with Michael Palladino, AIA, principal designer at Richard Meier and Partners and an afternoon discussion with some of the most notable young designers in the LA area. The YAF is also hosting the Young Architect Award Open Forum event on Saturday morning to showcase the work of the 2006 winners of that award and help aspiring young architects to understand better what the jury is looking for in a submission.
This blog will be updated daily with happenings of the convention from the young architects perspective, starting tomorrow with images and postings from the Getty museum event hosted by the YAF.
