BLUEPRINT FOR BETTER While the theme for the AIA Conference on Architecture 2019 is still being developed, The American Institute of Architects has initiated a national idea of a “Blueprint for Better”. This topic provides local components with the opportunity to create and develop plans and programs that improve their communities and the world. “Blueprint for Better” will be the overall theme of our AIA Las Vegas Chapter throughout 2019. One of AIA’s main goals, through this program, is to connect with community leaders, like yourself, to have a key seat at the table when decisions are made. Architects care deeply about the built environment, modernizing America and are energized by intellectual rigor and big ideas. Topics at the Conference will include subjects about smarter, healthier, more prosperous and sustainable cities. AIA Las Vegas will continue to address diversification in our economy, solve issues in a creative and productive way and contribute to broader change with a long-term vision for a better city. By supporting the AIA Las Vegas Chapter and our role in the AIA Conference on Architecture 2019, you’re supporting the idea that design is what makes Las Vegas a vibrant, resilient, unique city. The AIA Las Vegas Chapter includes 450 architects and design professionals, and the images shown in this booklet are a few examples of award-winning projects created by our members. They are part of a 94,000+ community of AIA members around the world.
