On May 16 we will have our fifth Forum. Please make a diary note for this important event regarding Tohoku Recovery.
In conjunction with a large number of the Foreign Chambers of Commerce, and the support of very generous sponsors, here in Tokyo we have organised a meeting where five mayors from the affected areas will come to Tokyo and talk to us direct. We think this is special and very much hope that it will be an opportunity for these Mayors to present us a 'shopping list' regarding how we might be able to assist them further. The event will also go out live on Ustream.
All are invited to join the Campus Unlimited community in celebrating and discussing the result of an international design competition. It all began by posing this question to the world:
What would Christchurch look like if we consider education as the catalyst for rebuilding the city?
The Campus Unlimited Design Exhibition is a week long public exhibition to display the finalists for an international design competition hosted by Architecture for Humanity and Unlimited School called Campus Unlimited.
Folks - a non-chapter event, but one that is free and open to the public, part of the AIA National Convention that's to be held in DC next week.
