The final program of the 10-13 May 2007 AIACE conference in Brussels provides 16 CES learning units and ample opportunity to connect with chapter members, sponsors and guests. The chapter business meeting has been moved to Sunday afternoon to enable more members to attend — AIA Continental Europe relies on member input and volunteer hours for all of its programs and activities.
Charles Croigny, AIA, the member behind the Brussels conference, is offering a special conference registration option: attend Saturday and Sunday only for €200 (members and guests alike). Sharing the same fine value as a full registration, this two-day registration is tailored to encourage attendees who look for the chance to connect with the chapter and maintain a full work week.
Italy section director Esteban Cruz, Assoc. AIA notes that exhibit space is still available for the June exhibit in Turin. Sponsored in part by Impresa Rosso General Contractor, this opportunity to exhibit work is open to all AIA Continental Europe chapter members. Registrations with exhibit material are due 4 May. Please refer to the registration instructions for details.
Following the exhibit opening on Saturday is the weekend section event, Architecture in Turin.

While the page is a work in progress, chapter operations is being presented now to introduce section mailing lists, as requested by the section directors at the last board meeting.
Each member in good standing within the chartered territory of AIA Continental Europe will receive a subscription notice for their respective list. Chapter members who are not part of the chartered territory of the chapter (and therefore part of no particular section) may subscribe to any or all section lists of interest. Members from any section interested in other section lists may also subscribe to as many lists as they wish.
Members with questions about their omission from subscription should direct their query to the chapter secretary.

An international team of sixteen architects and urban designers enrolled at the Berlage Institute (Rotterdam) has been looking at [questions surrounding Brussels as a capital for Europe] since 2004. Their study has resulted in a concrete project for Brussels as a worthy capital of Europe. Starting on 16 March, this project will be presented to the public in the exhibition A Vision for Brussels - Imagining the Capital of Europe, which will be open until [17 June] at the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels. On 9 May, Europe Day, the Centre for Fine Arts will host an international symposium with the same title.
Paired with the opening at the exhibit of work by AIA Continental Europe members on 15 June 2007, is this section event to explore the architecture of Turin. The one day (with possible second day still being organized) event includes a visit to a new project in Turin: the Institute of Biotechnology by architect Luciano Pia. Read more…
Thanks to interest from the School of Architecture of the Polytechnic University of Turin (Facoltà di Architettura, Dipartimento di Progettazione Architettonica e Disegno Industriale), AIACE has been given the opportunity to exhibit work once more after Milan’s Build-up Expo from February.
We are extending this invitation to AIACE members who would like to contribute this exhibition.

Karl Hartnack, AIA, 2007 Chapter President, extends his personal invitation for chapter members to attend this year’s Annual Chapter Meeting and Conference, 10-13 May in Brussels. While the UK/Design Build event in September provides some balance for this year’s nearby learning opportunities, only in Brussels will the Chapter hold its full annual meeting.
