Mission
The Dialogue
Committee is a member of the design group of the New York Chapter of
the American Institute of Architects.
The Committee's mission aims at highlighting current design issues. These issues are brought to light due to the committee's conviction that they may have an impact on the profession and the community.
The chair and members of the committee elected to enlarge the format of their dialogue engaging other cultural institutions besides the AIA. The intent is to present well-rounded comprehension and varied views of the design issues at hand. Further, the extension of the dialogue is guided by the assertion that Architecture has a wider cultural mission and thus involving the community as a hull. This impact is better understood once evaluated when the impacting and impacted groups are present.
The Committee meets every third Wednesday of the month; the public and students are welcome.
