For many years, the AIA Committee on Design has hosted a long-form conversation as a way to shed light on the winning firm''s approach to practice. This session will feature the AIA Firm Award winner as the primary focus, blending a presentation of work, personal reflection, moderated discussion, and audience participation and Q&A. Moderators will include Jonathan Moody (Moody Nolan Firm Award 2021), Alyson Steele (Quinn Evans Firm Award 2021), and Noah Marble (EskewDumezRipple Firm Award 2014).
