ALA Midwest Architecture Conference to be held Oct. 29
Architects can earn up to six continuing education credits in one power-packed day of educational sessions and networking opportunities at the 21st Annual ALA Midwest Architecture Conference, to be held on Tuesday, Oct. 29 from 8 am to 4:45 pm at Drury Lane Conference Center, Oakbrook Terrace, IL.
The 21st annual conference, hosted by the Association of Licensed Architects (ALA), features a keynote address by Blair Payson, AIA, LEED AP and Principal of Olson Kundig titled, “Creating a culture of dialog and celebrating partnerships.” Payson, who joined the leading-edge architecture practice based in Seattle in 2004, has worked on both architectural and exhibit design projects, including the Century Project for the Space Needle, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Visitor Center and residential projects across the Western United States and Mexico. A maker at heart, Payson revels in the details but is able to distill large, complex projects into distinct culminating moments.
