AIA Ohio Valley Region
Call for Presentations
The AIA Ohio Valley Region Convention, planned for September 19-21, 2019, will bring together more than 300 architects and allied professionals from around the region for three days of programs and activities. The Programming Committee 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. Presenters are asked and encouraged to provide programs that address at least one of the conference tracks. Those programs deemed to address the needs of the widest range of participants will be given the highest consideration.
TRACK 1:
Healthy People
Architecture offers opportunities through the design of form, space and materiality which order relationships with our built environment and each other. Help us identify those opportunities that improve our sense of well-being, enrich our lives, while making our lives healthier and more pleasurable.
TRACK 2:
Healthy Communities
Increasing opportunities for residents to increase physical activity, gain access to nutritious and healthy foods are a couple of aims for healthy communities. Help us illustrate how healthy living can be supported by developing a built environment that is easier, safer, and more appealing to walk, play and engage in daily activities within our communities.
TRACK 3:
Healthy Environment
Americans spend an average of nearly ninety percent of their time indoors according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Help us illustrate design strategies in hygiene, environmental health, building science, lighting design, environmental management, and building systems engineering to understand the relationship between the built environment and human health which promote occupant wellness and prevent environmental harm.
