AIA Ohio Call for Presentations
Sept. 24-26, 2020 in Dayton, OH
The AIA Ohio Convention, planned for September 24-26, 2020, will bring together architects and allied professionals from around the state for three days of programs and activities. The convention will take place at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, offering traditional classrooms for education as well as technology-based workshops.
The AIA Ohio Programs Task Force is interested in providing a wide range of programs that will appeal to needs of all of the convention attendees. It is the committee’s intention that programs submitted will address the needs of a broad representation of the Institute’s membership and allied professionals. Rather than forcing submissions into two or three tracks, the Programs Task Force has developed several key concepts that we hope to have addressed in the educational offerings. Those programs deemed to address the needs of the widest range of participants will be given the highest consideration.

Architects develop a COVID-19 screening booth for no-touch testing
Testing for COVID-19 remains one of the
biggest challenges
in the United States. To meet demand, many cities have established drive-through testing; others, like New York City, have
pop-up tents
. But no matter how you get tested, you still have to interact with a medical professional, which puts the worker at risk (and you, if you’re not actually sick). The architects at SITU, a New York firm that has worked on everything from
urban solar panels
to
human rights violations
, are developing a solution: outdoor screening centers that let you get a COVID-19 test, without having to come into direct contact with anyone else.

Social media influences architectural design
Instagram culture is redefining architectural design across the country, in both commercial and residential spaces. In recent years, architecture and design firms have been introducing a new concept referred to as “Instagram spots” in their designs to keep up with the growing social media trends.
“Instagram spots are a great way to enhance branding and speak to people in a creative way,” said Michael Gardner, an award-winning Las Vegas architect and custom builder who founded Henderson-based Studio G Architecture and Luxus Design Build. Gardner designs custom residential and commercial hospitality projects throughout the U.S. and Australia. He is a licensed contractor in Southern Nevada. “This trend has allowed for designers and architects to connect with artists and collaborate in a nontraditional manner. It’s allowed for places like restaurants and shops to create memorable focal points and iconic images of their brands that are easily recognizable online.”
