At a time when it's hard enough to manage the present, we still have to plan for the future.

Not even a pandemic is going to keep Open House San Diego 2021 away! Mark your calendars for March 5-12, when one of SDAF's most popular events adapts to the times.

How do we foster partnerships between individuals to create something new, something better? How can we open doors in our own work to connect and elevate members of the community?

Beyond the tools of technology that connect us day-to-day, collaboration is part of human instinct. It happens when two or more people work together, purposely, toward a shared goal. Join us as we discuss the power of collaboration and how partnering up can boost ideas — and take them to new heights.

Panelists include: Ashanti Davis, Exhibitions Manager at Fleet Science Center; Genevieve Deperio Fong, Situation Unit Lead at County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency; and Don Hollis, Founder of Hollis Brand Culture

Hosted by: AIGA San Diego in partnership with OH!

Cost: Free (suggested donation)

Join us for a panel discussion featuring local architectural designers as they offer up a virtual tour of exemplary projects the world over. Highlighted projects embody the highest design standards (with the awards and citations to prove it). What's more, all of the featured projects have contributed greatly to the underserved, disenfranchised communities they're part of. And you can't put a price on that.

Panelists include: Kurt Hunker, FAIA, Design Consultant for Davy Architecture; Eric Naslund, FAIA, Studio E; Laura Lesniewski, FAIA; Danielle Buttacavoli, AIA AICP, BNIM
