Getting Ready for the 2014 AIA AAJ Conference

By Lauren Petrakis posted 10-16-2014 07:46 PM

  
Hello! I am currently a graduate student at the University of Cincinnati, where I am pursuing a master's degree in Architecture. I am currently in my thesis year, and my research is focused on the ability of architecture to create spaces that empower women. I am also researching the design of domestic violence shelters, as this will be the project to accompany my research.

As an AIA AAJ Scholar, I'm very excited to attend the AAJ conference this November in St. Louis.  It looks like the conference content will be very interesting - with lots of content on justice design.  I'm looking forward to attending as many conference sessions as possible, meeting other professionals interested in social design, gaining knowledge to contribute to my educational experience, and getting to experience St. Louis for the first time.

As the conference approaches, I'll be posting a few interest pieces and also blogging during the conference; so look for more posts to follow.  Also, please feel free to send any suggestions for conference topics you would be interested in learning more about or must-see places in St. Louis!
