Hello, Global Practice Community!
Wanted to flag two exciting AIAU Courses coming up in April, featuring fellow GPC members.
April 14, 08:00 AM to 09:00 AM (ET): Working Effectively with International Design Teams
Panelists will discuss how they navigated complex design workflows between teams on different continents, drawing from real-world case studies in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Topics include cultural expectations, communication strategies, time zone coordination, and digital tools that enable successful delivery. The audience will leave with practical frameworks and lessons learned from both sides of the collaboration.
April 15, 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM (ET): The Architect's Role in Advancing Sustainable Urbanization Worldwide
This course examines how design professionals can go beyond traditional building design to shape resilient, inclusive, and ecologically sound urban environments. Through real-world project insights, participants will gain a practical understanding of how to advocate for sustainable outcomes at both building and urban scales in vastly different cultural, climatic, and regulatory contexts.
We are very excited to learn from our fellow practitioners in just a couple weeks! More information can be found at the above links, or on the GPC Events tab.
