Long recognized for its outstanding quality of life created through its
half-century commitment to high quality design and planning, Columbus,
Indiana, will host its 2nd Triennial Symposium on GOOD DESIGN, April 9-11,
2010.

It builds on the success of the first symposium which was held in 2007 as an
AIA 150 - Blueprint for America project sponsored by AIA Indiana and the
Columbus Indiana Architectural Archives (CIAA). Next year's symposium will
be sponsored by the CIAA and is entitled: GOOD DESIGN = Community Health &
Economic Development.

The program's confirmed keynoter speakers include former public member of
the AIA national board, Dr. Richard J. Jackson, M.D., M.P.H., currently
Chair and Professor at UCLA's School of Public Health. He is nationally
recognized as a pioneer in the study of design and its impact on public
health and community wellness and is the author of an article that recently
appeared in Pediatrics magazine entitled, "The Built Environment: Designing
Communities to Promote Physical Activity in Children."

Architects Fred Koetter, FAIA, and Susie Kim, AIA, partners in Koetter Kim &
Associates, and Douglas Johnson, FAIA, principal designer for William Rawn
Associates, will lead walking tours and discuss their respective office's
current Columbus projects on Friday afternoon, April 9th. They will also
be plenary session speakers on Saturday afternoon, April 10th.

Symposium attendees, as well as Columbus residents, are invited to "a town
gathering" on the evening of Friday, April 9th in which 2010 AIA national
president, George Miller, FAIA, managing partner with Pei Cobb Freed, will
share his three decades of experiences working with AIA Gold Medal winner,
I.M.Pei, FAIA. Pei's 1969 urban design which created Columbus' city's plaza
centered on his Cleo Rogers Library, Eliel Saarinen's, First Christian
Church and Henry Moore's sculpture, "Large Arch," remains one of the
strongest iconic images of this unique America city.

A total of eleven (11) LU's may be earned by attending all of the events
noted above plus a choice of panel discussions in which elected officials,
as well as leaders in public health, community wellness and recreation
programs, community development, and facilities design will discuss and
debate current issues facing every community as they relate to the
symposium's focus.

The symposium is co-chaired by the Honorable Fred Armstrong, Mayor of
Columbus and Tony Costello, FAIA, Professor Emeritus of Architecture at Ball
State University.
