A.R.E. Structural Systems Workshop - Lexington

A.R.E. Structural Systems Workshop - LexingtonSaturday, August 10, 2013 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. RossTarrant Architects, 101 Old Lafayette Avenue, Lexington This workshop will also be presented September 21, 2013 in Louisville in conjunction with the AIA Ohio Valley Region Convention. Registration for that session is not yet available.
All A.R.E. candidates are invited to attend a one-day workshop on structural systems, presented by practicing structural engineers from Luckett & Farley Structural in Louisville. This workshop provides an overview of the structural materials, components, loads, and concepts included in the ARE: Structural Systems exam.  Though this will be a fast-paced review, this is your opportunity to ask questions you may have such as, “What is ‘overturning’ and how do I quantify it?”, “What is the difference between ASD and LRFD?”, “When, where, and why do I need rebar?”. Though we can’t promise we know what will be on the test, this course is designed to lend a helping hand to those who find ‘Structural systems’ to be intimidating or insurmountable by demonstrating how to find solutions effectively. Admission is FREE for AIA Associate Members or $15 for others. Lunch and Presentation Slides are included.

KY Architecture 50:50 - Nominate YOUR Favorites!

An Online Competition Showcasing Kentucky's Favorite Architecture

Kentucky Architecture 50:50 will serve as the commemorative 50th Anniversary project for AIA Kentucky. This initiative will showcase Kentucky architecture through an interactive online competition that engages Kentuckians in identifying and voting for their favorite architecture. 50:50 not only reflects our anniversary and references the 50 buildings that will be in the online competition. It also represents the nature of what architects do: balancing and blending the owner's vision and requirements with the architect's design skills in a collaborative process that results in a functional, safe, sustainable and beautiful place to live, work or play.

Nominate YOUR Favorite Kentucky Architecture!

Lexington Residential Architecture Tour

September 22nd! 

from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM

Don't miss this opportunity to become aquainted with several of Lexington's leading architects as they showcase a variety of housing types ranging from high-design twists on the single family home to a multi-family mixed use development.  Each project represents the intricate nature of the architect's design process as it evolved in response to the specific needs and desires of the individual client, available budget, surrounding context and sustainability.  The result... spaces that are poetic marriages of form and function.

WiA is supporting the community by donating a portion of the proceeds from the tour to the Bluegrass Domestic Violence Program. BDVP is committed to ending intimate partner abuse and its impact on families and our community. 

PURCHASE TICKETS HERE AT EVENTBIRTE. TICKETS WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE AT EACH HOUSE ON THE DAY OF THE TOUR.  A MAP OF THE PROJECT LOCATIONS CAN BE FOUND AT: http://goo.gl/maps/ss6Cr
