Symposium WPA 2.0: Working Public Architecture

16 November 2009 10 AM to 6 PM National Building Museum Washington, DC Federal attention to America’s infrastructure is a critical part of our nation’s economic recovery plan, but we must also consider how that investment in the next generation of bridges, roads, and waterways will create more sustainable, more engaging, more livable cities. This symposium gathers some of the country’s most talented young designers –finalists in the WPA 2.0 competition, together with design talent recognized internationally, to address a new future with policy makers. Innovative ideas drive the work that will be presented; technical and practical sensibilities demonstrate that those ideas could be the basis for a Working Public Architecture. Continuing education credits will be offered to AIA, ASLA, and AICP members. Visit Website
