From the Chapter to Eric Wills at Architect Magazine we offer thanks for his expanded post: "AIA Europe Conference to Spotlight Hamburg’s HafenCity Development." One minor note, which everyone familiar with AIA Europe conferences may have already spotted: AIA Continental Europe chapter conferences are biannual. Hamburg is followed by Lyon and Düsseldorf in spring/autumn 2013, respectively; Paris and an not-yet-named location follow in 2014.
