Australian Institute of Architects' weekly What's On.
Tell us what you think. 

First of all, welcome back to everyone from what I trust was a relaxing break over Christmas (even if it now seems a long time ago!).
 
Although Chapter Council hasn’t met yet for 2017, we have still been active in promoting the message that Good Design is Good Business across a number of activities.
 
The FAD (Festival of Architecture and Design) Advisory Group has met twice in this period to assist the Institute in developing a strategic plan to deliver FAD as a regular and well regarded fixture in Adelaide’s Festival’s calendar. We are fortunate to have on this advisory group the services of Greg Mackie OAM, Trish Hansen (SAHMRI), Nikki Hamdorf (Jam Factory), Nick McArdle (Adelaide Crows), Associate Professor John Spoehr (Flinders University) and Dino Vrynios (GGA). They are providing valuable input into establishing the FAD brand long term. While this work is being progressed, the Chapter is developing the program for this year’s FAD event in October.
