RSVP for February 7: Bionic Materials: Architect-led R&D for Tomorrow’s Building Blocks
New research that combines the super powers of nature and technology is generating pioneering materials for interiors as well as exteriors. At the forefront of understanding new possibilities and applications are architecture and design firms with dedicated in-house Research & Development teams. Design reserachers will discuss the value of having in-house R&D for the practice as a whole, and present current projects that set new standards for building materials in terms of performance and health benefits to the end-user.

Future of Practice
To assist the profession in proactively anticipating the impacts of new developments on the practice of architecture, AIA New York is reconstituting its former Technology and Professional Practice committees into the Future of Practice Committee. Launched in February 2021, this new committee will serve as a platform for discussion on topics that have relevance to what lies ahead for architecture and the profession. We welcome all individuals who are interested in joining and forming a new community built around the interests of its members.
