In just 10 days, architects, designers, and experts from around New England will be in downtown Providence for the AIA New England Regional Conference, and you should be there. Why?

From discussions on the evolution of the profession and the impacts of climate change, to visiting local adaptive reuse projects and tours of the riverfront development, you’ll get first hand insight into how architecture, practice, and our cities continue to transform.
