AIA|LA Launches Two New Programs to Help Improve the Built Environment

As an architect passionate about improving the built environment, now is your chance to get more involved in one of two pilot programs we are launching right now with LAUSD and with the Los Angeles Department of City Planning.

AIA|LA is currently building a task-force of local architects and urban designers who will provide critical insight and feedback to public agencies through one of two pilot programs launching in August 2010. The goal of both of these programs is to give architects the opportunity to serve their community and help shape the dialogue around such issues as: urban design; contracting reform; the selection process; masterplanning initiatives; design competitions; project delivery methods; peer-review & design review sessions.

These two separate volunteer programs are in partnership with LAUSD and the Los Angeles City Planning Commission. Participants will be asked to attend a meeting and engage in discussions aimed to achieve higher standards in city planning, architecture and urban design.

If you are passionate about making Los Angeles a more delightful community then please contact Will Wright to find out how you can be involved.
