Partner Partner Content Architecture Matters panel discussion: Good design is good for people

What is good design? And why does it matter? Earlier this year, AIA architects and an AIA international associate discussed how sustainable design—from adaptive reuse to lifecycle costs—reduces environmental impact and improves how we live in How good design is good for the planet.

The recent September Architecture Matters article continues this year’s conversation about good design. Join us for the community conversation and bring your own questions to ask later this month. We’ll be meeting in 1001 Colors Headquarters, opposite the Cincinnati Design Award winning Hannan ArtPark.

Registration is appreciated for planning purposes. Presented by AIA Cincinnati and Soapbox.
