AIA International Spring Conference 2023: Detail & Storytelling
Fiona Mckay
Over three days from March 9th - 11th 2023 we held the 3rd annual AIA International Spring Conference, with 22 talks presented live from around the globe on the theme Detail & Storytelling. We were delighted to get a record 1205 registrations from 75+ countries! In our open call for proposals, members were asked to describe a project through the evolution of key Details, or to look at Storytelling as part of the design process.
The AIA UK Chapter was strongly represented, hosting 3 events across the 3 days. First was a panel on Not Dead Yet: Historic Buildings and the Climate Crisis with Katharine Storr, AIA, Adam Watkins, Sam Harvey, and Morwenna Slade. On the second day, AIA UK’s Etain Fitzpatrick, AIA presented The Northcliffe Story, on the history and refurbishment of the former headquarters of the Daily Mail newspaper, a Grade II-listed building in the City of London. David Martin, AIA and Aaron Taylor shared Science in the Age of the Invisible, about the new facility for the Institute of Regeneration and Repair at the University of Edinburgh.
These sessions along with the rest of the conference program are available to view via the AIA International website HERE.
