With temperatures soaring in the northern hemisphere it is difficult to imagine that 11 weeks and change remain before 5 October and the AIA Continental Europe Conference in Udine, Italy. The early registration period with its savings of €75 ends 16 August. 67 participants have registered to date.

The American Institute of Architects, AIA Continental Europe and Col⋅legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya are pleased to announce a Continuing Education System provider program for 17 October 2006 in Barcelona.
The workshop, modified for european and international needs, is for CES providers — AIA components, affiliate organizations (e.g. the european equivalent of the CSI & USGBC), universities, non-profit organizations, corporations and A & E firms.
The format is intended to train current CES providers, helping them improve their programs, and identify new providers which would expand the options for learning opportunities throughout Europe.
These valuable workshops are meant for anyone interested in the Provider Program or current Providers wanting to know more about CES basics, best practices and “non-negotiables”, CES Web site navigation, marketing strategies and instructional systems design (ISD) tips. We also focus in on how to develop learning objectives and effective [presentations] so you can design your programs properly in the context of the CES policy.—Thom Lowther, Senior Director AIA/CES
AIA Continental Europe members are encouraged to help promote the workshop to find 20-30 attendees who are current or potential providers of CES credits for our membership. Likely candidates are Corporate Partners, potential Corporate Partners, suppliers and affiliated local organizations. Members belonging to larger private practices might consider establishing their own CES programs as well.
More information can be found at the COAC web page devoted to the seminar.

Werner Rüegger, AIA (AIACE President, 2005) writes:
I would like to thank you all once more for a most enjoyable weekend in Como. I even found the little book on Giuseppe Terragni in the bookstore and [my wife] found a little something at the silk factory.
The meeting places were original and the food superb. Nothing could have topped the boat ride on Sunday morning. Italy at it’s best!
The “all” Werner references are undoubtedly his fellow attendees and, importantly, the event organizer, Italy Section Director Esteban Cruz, Assoc. AIA.
Attendees are encouraged to provide additional comments and a left to right accounting of the members and guests pictured in image one. Please add them to the comments section of this post. Identification of the Villa in image two would also be appreciated.

The World Architecture Congress runs alongside Cityscape - the largest property investment and development event (over 20,000 sqm and 30,000 participants) which attracts the world’s most significant investors, lenders, owners and developers as well as world class architects and designers.
The World Architecture Congress, 4-6 December 2006 at the Dubai International Exhibit Center, brings together the international leaders in architecture and design from around the world to discuss the many issues affecting the built environment and explore innovative solutions that promote livable, sustainable and dynamic communities.
Among the issues to be discussed at this year’s Congress are master planning, urbanism, engaging multicultural communities, sustainability, global cities, transit architecture and advances in design and building materials.
The Congress will also host the Cityscape Architectural Review Awards to recognise and promote excellence in architecture and design across the Middle East, Africa, Central & Eastern Asia, Australasia and South America. In 2005 this was attended by over 700 leading figures from the architecture and property development community and over 260 entries of buildings, either completed or proposed were considered by a panel of world-renowned architects for the awards.
