Glad to see you're interested in the course! The webinar is free for AIA members. I'll follow up with a private message.
The platform for the webinar, AIAU, is down for maintenance for the next day or so.

Subject: February 15 Webinar: Tri-Faith Commons: A Case Study in Community Engagement (HSW credit)
Attempting to enroll for 15 Feb., 2024 Case Study. I saw that the course has $0.00 cost. Yet as t pressed buttons to confirm my
attendance, lo, some screen popped up to demand a $199.99 + fee !
Does that mean I cannot attend the Case Study for free without paying some (over) price ?
I have done over 160 churches in my practice over the past 47 years and have gone to Interfaith events over the decades, but
being asked to fork over a lot of money to watch one Case Study is a little much, just having paid over $700.00 bucks for dues.
So, my question >
If I fail to pay the big fee for the year's subscription am I then shut out of the 15 February Case Study ?'
I know this is a volunteer situation, but could someone, sometime before 15 Feb. please say "yea" or "nay" ?
Thank you.

Course Description:
Tri-Faith Commons is an award-winning international model for interfaith learning, collaboration, and community-building. This unique project brings together a synagogue, church, mosque, and interfaith center on a 38-acre campus in Omaha, Neb. Using Countryside Community Church-the most recent architectural addition to Tri-Faith Commons-as a case study, discover how these diverse communities worked with the design team to find common ground to create a built space that unites populations that have been traditionally perceived to be in conflict. Through a conversation with Executive Director Wendy Goldberg, explore how the project evolved to create four distinct spaces that coexist within an intentionally-planned landscape.
This course is geared toward a general knowledge audience but may be of particular interest to architects working with worshipping congregations or other forms of community-engaged design practices.
Countryside Community Church was honored with an 2022 Award for Religious Architecture (New Facilities) by Faith and Form a joint awards program by Faith and Form, Partners for Sacred Places, and AIA Interfaith Design.
