AIA Phoenix Metro AIA10 Conversation Series: Shaping the Architectural Workforce Session 3

Join us online Wednesday, December 2 at 12 Noon, for the third and final session of a three-part Conversation Series focused on shaping the architectural workforce, presented by AIA Phoenix Metro AIA10. 

The Purpose and Impact of an Architect. What makes an architectural career truly meaningful? Beyond the buildings we design, the titles we hold, and the milestones we achieve, lies a deeper purpose in the work we do and the impact we leave behind.

As the third and final session of the AIA10 Conversation series, this discussion will explore how architects can stay connected to their purpose, find fulfillment in their careers, and use their knowledge, influence, and expertise to make a meaningful, lasting impact on the communities they serve. From design and mentorship to advocacy, leadership, and community engagement, we will examine how architects can extend their impact beyond traditional practice to shape stronger communities and a better built environment. We will also consider the evolving role of architects in addressing broader social, cultural, environmental, and community needs and the responsibility that comes with having the ability to shape the places where people live, work, and connect.

Moderated by Kelsey Ahumada, AIA, Managing Principal and Owner at Portica Architecture, the panel will include:

• Wanda Dalla Costa, AIA, Principal at Tawaw Architecture Collective
• Karl Eicher, AIA,  Associate Principal at Richärd Kennedy Architects
• Caroline Lobo, AIA, Principal at suoLL Architects
• Andrea Lucarelli, AIA, Architect at PHX Architecture
