International Practice Issues: Cross-Cultural Partnerships
Presented by the AIA International Committee in cooperation with
AIA New York Chapter and AIA New York
International Committee.
Cross-cultural partnerships are a reality of architecture practice today.
While they are easy to find in the cities that drive international trade,
such as New York, the digital age has made international practice more
a function of technological sophistication and firm attitude than a condition
of geographical access. The conference will bring together architects
from around the world to speak about the challenges and opportunities
of international
collaboration and joint ventures. 6LUs, HSW. For the full conference
agenda, registration and more information, go to: www.aia.org/international
