Join the AD EX, bcWORKSHOP, and DFW NOMA for a discussion of the next selection in the Design Justice Book Club: The Accommodation by Jim Schultze. This is a free, in-person event.

The Design Justice Book Club continues the conversation from the 2020 Place Setting Book Club series that asked how we envision and create radically inclusive places that facilitate and support equitable communities. Join this free book club for one or all four discussions reviewing books that highlight how architects, designers, and planners can foster universal inclusion and fairness in the built environment within the places and communities we impact, both locally and globally.

In partnership with Big D Reads, copies of The Accommodation will be available for the community at the AD EX beginning 08/24! You can also order a copy and support the AD EX, by ordering through Amazon Smile. Go to smile.amazon.com, search for and select Architecture and Design Foundation before making your purchase!

The AD EX is excited to host you on the biggest fundraising day in North Texas!

Join us at the AD EX on Thursday, September 22 to be a part of North Texas Giving Day and see how your gift makes an impact and supports our mission of fostering access to architecture and design for all.

In 2022, all funds raised by the North Texas Giving Day event will go toward our K-12 programs, including:

• Designing My Future day camps in the Spring, Summer, and Fall
• Scholarships and Fellowships for high school students and professionals

We look forward to sharing this exciting evening with you at the AD EX.

Presented by MODUS Architecture
Organized by AD EX and the AIA Dallas Education Outreach Committee

Saturday, October 15

FREE event

The Architecture and Design Exchange (AD EX) and AIA Dallas Education Outreach Committee invite all high school juniors and seniors to our annual Architecture + Design College Fair presented by MODUS Architecture on Saturday, October 15, 2022. The in-person event will include practicing architects, interns, current students, professors from local universities, and representatives or alumni from universities offering a degree in architecture. Students, parents, teachers, and counselors will be able to ask questions, receive first-hand information on what it takes to become an architect and learn the specifics on how each university architectural program is unique.

Students will gain knowledge on the path an architecture student takes upon graduating college: internship development requirements, the licensing process, professional practice, and the organizations that support their career. Plus, we’re giving away some great prizes – you won’t want to miss it!

Event Format

The 2022 Fair will be offered in person only. To accommodate distancing, we ask that students, parents, teachers, and counsellors sign up for either a morning or afternoon timeslot.

Morning: 10 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
