As we have been reporting, The American Institute of Architects is celebrating its 150th Anniversary this year, and programs are being planned locally to mark this occasion with local flair. Our KHNL 8 Spotlight on Architecture series has been a great start to our media outreach efforts. See separate Spotlight column below for more information about the third and most recent TV broadcast. We will continue working with KHNL Channel 8 as part of our year-long efforts to foster public awareness of the richness of our built enviroment and the value of good design in making our communities better places for us all.
Important Dates: The entire month of April is AIA 150 Month in Hawaii. This was announced at our AIA 150 Kick-off party in January 2007 which included a special presentation on behalf of Governor Lingle. The framed proclamation now hangs in our office. Stop by.
On April 5, Mayor Mufi Hannemann will conduct a signing ceremony at Honolulu Hale where he will proclaim April 9–14, 2007 as AIA 150 Week: Celebrating Our Past, Designing Our Future in the City and County of Honolulu. Due to limited space, this event is by invitation, but we will be sure to share the text of that proclamation, and of course, we will post photos of the signing event.
Beginning on April 7- 21, look for our display of seventy (70) AIA 150 banners along King and Bishop Streets in downtown Honolulu.
