Dogtrot is sited at the center of a quiet eighteen-acre meadow with panoramic views of the surrounding ranchlands, foothills and mountains, notably Mount Glory, the distinctive southernmost peak of the Teton Range.

A shared vision of the City, Downtown Development Authority and Old Yellowstone (redevelopment) District as the centerpiece of the downtown revitalization efforts, the project is a year-round outdoor events-driven plaza conceived as a public-private partnership.

Five Shadows, located on a prime site at the base of the Teton Mountain Range belies the density of the surrounding area. Sited at the western boundary of a development, the project lives in the fringes of a meadow near an aspen and conifer forest that cascades down from the summit of Rendezvous Peak. Slightly elevated above neighbors, the compound imparts a feeling of privacy, screens nearby buildings through structural orientation and strategic window placement, and takes in broad views across the valley to the Gros Ventre Range.

Architects in Action 2020 is AIA’s premier annual policy and advocacy event. It was held virtually on July 9, 2020.

All AIA members and component staff were welcomed and encouraged to attend.

There is an ancient pilgrimage route across Northern Spain’s rugged terrain. It’s a network of paths leading to the Cathedral of Saint James called the Camino de Santiago. Most people now travel one of the more popular paths, but the original pilgrims set out from their own homes to make their way to the cathedral.

Grassroots 2020 is an exclusive event for leaders of the AIA. This year’s agenda emphasizes component and community leadership with workshops designed to help component officers become more effective chapter and civic leaders.

Depending on our past experiences, we all have images that pop into our heads when we hear the word “salesperson.” If you are like me, nothing bothers me more than an aggressive, pushy salesperson who tries to convince me to buy something when they have no idea of who I am or what needs I actually have. Those types of unpleasant experiences have left a negative connotation of sales in my mind, and I work hard to avoid these situations. On the other hand, I have many good experiences where a salesperson did not shove their product or service down my throat, but instead took time to take me through the tried and proven steps to help me see my need for what they offer.
