Recap

Beaux Arts Ball 2011 was the BIGGEST we've ever had! (at least in the last four years) Huge thanks to everyone who came! We hope you had fun -- we sure did.

Don't forget to thank our social chairs, Rachel Momenee & Meagan Calnon for putting it together!

Cheers from the Social Chairs :)

Comment and let us know how your night went! ;)

Revit Workshop

AIAS is hosting a Revit Workshop this Wednesday, Feb. 23rd (tomorrow) at 5:00 pm in Room 1 during our All-Member meeting. We will cover all the club stuff in the first ten minutes, then hand it off to Brian Albrecht, who will be giving a tutorial/workshop on Revit until 6:00 pm. We will also be selling PIZZA during the workshop, handing out club t-shirts to those who still need to pick them up, and selling Beaux Arts tickets to any late-comers. 

If you are a member, plan to come for at least the first 15 minutes to get information on what we're doing this month & pick up a shirt! 

DANCE PARTY

Due to a burst of last minute enthusiasm, we are extending ticket sales until Wednesday, Feb 23rd, in both the Atrium and at Shriver Box Office. If you haven't been to a Beaux Arts yet, you have no idea what  you are missing! 

Listen to Gaga, and JUST DANCE.

remember when...

Nobody can forget Brett & his mask.

Or Chalo!

The Big Apple

This past weekend, Stephen Young and myself traveled to New York for some job hunting and sight seeing and the like. Here's our "Top 5 things you should check out" list:

1. The Wright Cafè: Chic Cafè designed by FLW himself, in the Guggenheim 

2. The Guggenheim: Amazing FLW building, later in his career.

3. Longchamp SoHo Store: Incredible interior. 

4. New York Times, Time Square: Great example of Sustainable Design.

5. Top of the Rockefeller Building: Because the Empire State Building is overrated, and this view is priceless.

Check It Out

Friday morning in the Rotunda is Diane Fellow's Film & Mixed Media Open House. AIAS is catering with pancakes, baked goods, orange juice, etc. We'll also be raffling off Inception on DVD-- so stop by, fill up a plate, buy a ticket, and check out all of the media projects in the Rotunda!

Also, go check out the cage gallery for all of the awesome Summer Scholars projects from this past summer from Josh Carson, Matt Scott, Emily Carr, Anna Chifala, Alex Fritz, and Claire Saltzman. Projects  range from the "Evolving Shelf" (which I am obsessed with) to Sacred Architecture and OTR. 

Spring Quad 2011

No Boundaries, No Limits:
Exploring the Art in Architecture

This year's Spring Quad 2011 is hosted by Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, IL. The theme explores the art in architecture, with lots of hands-on workshops that introduce students to other art forms and techniques that they can integrate into their own designs. Jill Downen, an artist whose work focuses on the human body and architecture, will be giving the Keynote Lecture.

Unfortunately, Carbondale is relying on snailmail for registration fees, so if you are interested in going, plan to attend our next all-member meeting Feb. 23rd to sign up, and we will mail them all in together.


Registration is open from February 9th until March 15th, and is only $20 for AIAS members.
