The American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) chapter at Washington State University will proudly host the Spring 2012 West Quad Regional Conference in Spokane at the end of March 2012. The conference will take place March 29th – April 1st on the WSU Spokane campus under the theme of “Preserving Identities,” welcoming in attendees from across the Western United States. More images and information on the event after the break.
“Preserving Identities” will establish a dialogue on key topics that include historic preservation, adaptive re-use, and the preservation of local culture and context. The conference will educate attendees on the architectural, municipal, and construction issues involving preservation and will use Spokane as a backdrop to engage attendees with the topics at hand. The event will consist of 3 keynote presentations, numerous seminars and lectures, tours of local sites such as Steam Plant Square, and a panel discussion between the presenters and the attendees. In addition to social events and networking opportunities, there will also be a Beaux Arts Ball dance on the evening of Saturday, March 31st.
