Architecture Schools Charrette
September 23 + 24

This day long charrette, guided by a jury of leading architects, facilitated a dialog about the importance of design in the creation of livable communities. Architecture students from Virginia Tech, Catholic University, Howard University and University of Maryland participated.

PROGRAM: The charrette was centered on the Martin Luther King Library and the theme of the program was be based on the AIA's "Ten Principles of Livable Communities."

The chapter was fortunate to have Jane Weinzapfel, AIA from Leers Weinzapfel Architects lead the day. Her firm recently won National AIA's firm of the year award.

The charrette occurred at the National Building Museum, 401 F NW, Washington DC.
