From the Chapter President

A short but action packed President’s Message for this month.

Our big focus right now is the SA Chapter’s involvement in Open State that kicks off today through to 27 October. If you haven’t heard about it, it’s an amazing array of speakers, both international and local, all looking at the challenges of the future and how we might come together to collaborate and innovate to address them.

The Institute is proud to be hosting several events during Open State. Much of the content is relevant to the future of architecture as a profession and it would be great to see a strong show of support and interest from our profession.

Some events will be delivered outside the city, but many will be delivered at ArtBox, a temporary facility that will be located in the forecourt of the museum. ArtBox itself is an innovation, being developed as a collaboration of several people including this year’s Emerging Architect Anthony Balsamo.
