Earlier this year the AIA launched "AIA 150: Celebrating the Past, Designing the Future," a year-long program honoring architects' contributions to the nation and the field. More than just galas and peer recognition, it includes "Blueprint for America," an initiative that teams architects and community leaders to design more livable towns and cities. In the Southwest, chapters' AIA 150 programs include redesigning the Arizona state capital mall, revitalizing Route 66, screening architectural films and holding a 24-hour-long sustainable-design 'slumber party'.
