Evelyn Lee, FAIA | NOMA

Candidate for 2024 First VP | 2025 President

Candidate Statement

Today, Architects are tackling social, climate, political, and technical challenges that require new solutions. Our ability to lead those conversations depends on the strength of our profession, practices, and members to navigate change.

 

Increased complexity, as technology continues to advance and conditions of the world evolve, asks architects to think beyond traditional building design processes to:

  • address the most pressing challenges of our time, driving creative solutions
  • lead increasingly complex teams of experts to design and deliver spaces that are more inclusive to our diverse populations.
  • apply our unique skillset at a variety of scales, from a digital pixel to urban environments

 

The AIA and its members have an opportunity to lead through the power of design, inspiring and creating innovative solutions that address the changing needs of today and future generations by empowering our members to:

[Re]THINK: How We Practice Architecture, creating new operational and business models for practice that helps us do more of what we love, expand our impact to transform society, and raise how our clients perceive our value.

[Re]DESIGN: How We Collaborate as a Profession, by using integrated tools to advance leadership within the industry, share knowledge, and solve complex challenges faster.

[Re]ENVISION: How We Create Value Beyond Practice, by challenging how we define practice, what it means to be an architect, and creating space for those who have chosen alternative paths, expanding our influence.

Together Let’s [Re]NEW the AIA as the voice of the architectural profession
