Program: Architects as advocates Sept. 18

The American Institute of Architects Seattle chapter will present a free program Sept. 18 that encourages architects to advocate for more people-oriented development and vibrant urban communities.

“Enter the Fray: How Architects & Designers Can Be Powerful Advocates” is being presented by AIA Seattle's public policy board from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at 1010 Western Ave. in Seattle.

The board says architects and designers are uniquely positioned to advocate for design that contributes to healthy, livable communities, and to work towards finding consensus on controversial issues, but too often they step back from getting involved in public policy. The panel is Rico Quirindongo of DLR Group, Barbara Swift of Swift Co., Grace Kim of Schemata Workshop, and Sara Maxana of the city of Seattle. The moderator is Rick Mohler of the University of Washington.

The event is part of the 2017 Seattle Design Festival. The schedule is at http://designinpublic.org/.
