On the weekend of the AIA National Convention in New York City, the Lobby will engage with neglected issues that fundamentally determine the direction of our discipline.

This Think-In is divided into two parts over two days: active engagement with relevant sessions at the AIA National convention to ensure substantive dialogues on professional issues on Friday, June 22; and Think-In panel discussions on Saturday, June 23 at Prime Produce that examine the theme of Infrastructure. Infrastructure is the network of systems necessary for an organization to function. When those systems are degraded enough, the defining functions of the organization fail. The Architecture Lobby has selected this theme for its first National Think-In to generate a way forward and rebuild our discipline’s infrastructure.

Full line-up will be announced soon. It will include Now What?! curator Andrea J. Merrett.
