AIA New York State American Society of Landscape Architects/Upstate Chapter Convention
Creating the Fabric of Our Culture - October 14, 15, & 16
As we enter a new decade, we have an opportunity to consider the culture in which we live and the role that architecture plays in creating it. A society’s culture is composed of many elements: its arts, sciences, politics, and language are some examples. The built environment is one outward representation of these elements.
As architects, landscape architects and creators of the built environment we have the opportunity to both reflect on the current cultural inclinations and to shape those of the future. Our buildings and landscapes reflect our traditions as a society and indicate our future values. We come together. We practice in our own unique way. Yet whether our practice is small or large, urban or rural, our work represents our culture. Whether our practice is based in the private or public realms, whether it is commercial, residential or institutional, and whether our focus in on historic preservation or contemporary design, our role as architects is to ensure the highest quality in the built environment. Through collaboration, reflection, leadership, stewardship and design excellence, we have the opportunity to shape the values of our culture for generations to come.
