AIA SDAT
November 07, 2005
The City of Oklahoma City is hosting a three day workshop of the American Institute of Architects Sustainable Design Assessment Team (AIA SDAT) today through Wednesday. A group of architects, planners, designers, engineers and more will be coming to the city to conduct what is basically a charrette, but with sustainability specifically in mind. The neighborhood is a run-down industrial and commercial district just east of Bricktown. Monday consists of meetings with local officials and professionals, as well as the land and business owners in the neighborhood. Tuesday is a work day for the SDAT people, and then Wednesday the team will present its ideas.
It’s an exciting event for OKC, as only 5 cities have the privilege of hosting the AIA SDAT this year. The neighborhood really is prime for redevelopment, but it does need work. Hopefully this will help.
I’m also excited because this is my first opportunity to shine… I have managed to be appointed the Public Works representative to SDAT, and therefore I will be attending all of the events on Monday and Wednesday. I’m hoping that this will lead to an increase of interest in green design and sustainability, so that we can get OKC on the green map.
