Strategies provides the framework methodology in the form of a living document to be utilized for future conferences. Since 1955 the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) has been hosting a conference entitled FORUM. Its origins come from the intent to provide a platform to explore varying opinions of architecture and design students, initiating the opportunity to assemble yearly to further discuss issues related to the future of architectural education and the profession. Strategies serves as an assistant resource to the planning committee as an approach to constructing thoughtful and provocative content to drive the conference theme.
Comprised within these pages are the collective thoughts of the FORUM 2013 Committee as a singular vision, a manifesto of collaborative concept. The theme for the 58th gathering will focus on principles of Unified.
