Transmitting Architecture
Please join members of the AIAS and thousands of other students from across the world at the International World Congress of Architecture in Torino, Italy to be held on June 29-July 3, 2008. The event is offered by the International Union of Architects (UIA).
The UIA Congress takes place every three years and brings together thousands of architects and architecture students from countries throughout the world. The Congress centers around a chosen theme and includes lectures by the world’s preeminent designers, debates, exhibitions, tours and festivals that provide a unique platform for the exchange of cultural contacts between fellow professionals and students. This year’s theme is “Transmitting Architecture.” The Congress also includes Arkitektonika, the international exhibition of products, projects and processes for architecture, building and design.
Leaders from the U.S. architecture community will be attending including the elected officers of the AIAS. It will be an opportunity to build relationships with students from across the world.

Know of some others I can add here? Let me know. Have you already visited some of these places...or planning on it? Let me know and I will feature your story and your photos here!
I am starting a new kind of architecture school. Unlike most architecture schools, you wouldn't have to submit GRE scores or good grades or letters of recommendation. You wouldn't have to put the rest of your life on hold for 3 to 5 years. You wouldn't have to accrue tens of thousands of dollars in debt. At my architecture school, anyone could come for a few weeks and learn how to build a house with their own two hands. My teachers would take skills and concepts from some of these other workshops I've listed above... except classes would be held year-round to make it easy to fit into your schedule. I would have a number of different campuses around the country that would teach building designs appropriate to the local climate. And I need your help. Can you donate land for a campus? Can you dotate books for a library? Can you teach a workshop? Can you provide start-up capital? Let me know.
