LMNOP’s A&D Mentoring and Workshop Programs
3.12.12 | LMNOP is a professional development group that was created to address the specific needs of the A&D community.

Interior Design & Architecture Create New IIDEX/NeoCon Canada
3.4.12 | IIDEX/NeoCon Canada, Canada’s largest design expo and conference, is developing a personality and purpose that makes it distinctly different from any other design show in North America. It intends to explore and exploit what should exist, but is too often missing, in our built environment: the natural synergy between architecture and interior design. A press conference hosted by Interior Designers of Canada (IDC) and Architecture Canada-Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC) indicates that, in Canada, architects don’t just respect interior designers, they’re courting them.

2012 BIFMA Leadership Conference
1.30.12 | Attendance at this year’s BIFMA Leadership Conference was up about 30% over last year. Part of the jump in registration is probably due to the fact that the industry grew about 14% in 2011, so times are pretty good. But I think the growth in attendance is mainly due to the very high quality of the conference over the last few years.

AIA Gold Medal to Steven Holl
12.19.11 | As the 2012 recipient of its highest honor, the Gold Medal, the American Institute of Architects has wisely named Steven Holl of New York. Like most winners of the AIA Gold Medal, Holl is in fact several years overdue, having received a variety of honors at home and abroad over the past decade. (Unlike last year's overdue Gold Medalist, Fumihiko Maki of Tokyo, Holl hasn't yet won the Pritzker Prize, and he's overdue for that too.)
