Exciting news from Triangle Barkitecture! We're thrilled to introduce "Stuff the Trunk," our brand-new pet food drive supporting FRIENDS OF WAKE COUNTY ANIMAL CENTER INC and their "No Empty Bowl" project. Help us make a difference by donating unopened dog food, cat food, and litter. Your generosity ensures pets in the Triangle stay in their loving homes and never go hungry. Plus, we've added a new Barkitecture award for the team or individual who donates the most by weight! Get involved now by donating through the Amazon link here: https://lnkd.in/efZK-R5N We'll also be collecting food and litter on-site at Barkitecture on October 5th at Fenton, in partnership with Johnson Alfa Romeo of Cary and Unleashed.

I just returned from an enriching experience at the The American Institute of Architects (AIA) National Conference in DC! As President of AIA Triangle, it was an honor to represent our chapter and be a delegate in the AIA Annual Business Meeting. We voted on officers, bylaw amendments, and resolutions that will shape the future of our profession. The business meeting was no doubt an interesting experience, and while they are some questions surrounding some past national decisions, I was proud to make sure our local chapter’s voice was heard in shaping the organizations future. The conference itself was bustling with energy and innovation. I had the pleasure of making new connections and reconnecting with some past colleagues, some I haven’t seen in years. The expo was filled with new products and ideas, but let’s face it, the biggest hit was obviously the puppy play pen - every barkitects dream. The information seminars were great and covered a wide range of topics. Of particular interest to me was continuing the conversation on AI developments in architecture, something I’m excited to continue the conversation here in AIA Triangle. I’m eager to share more about the developments from the conference and discuss how they will impact our local chapter. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to chat further about AIA! #AIA #MoreIn24 #BusinessDevelopment #DC #Architects #Architecture

Under the leadership of Abigail Gillin our EP/YAF members experienced the construction side of housing design at a recent Habitat build project.

I was recently featured in an interview with CanvasRebel Magazine as part of their 'Missions Aren't Supposed to be Secret' series. I talk a little more about the mission of Barkitecture and how that has evolved since our first event in 2019. We learn a little more with every event, and we're not planning on stopping until we're one of the most well-known events in our community. The event challenges all creative minds to design/build custom pet architecture to raise money for our rescue partners. If you haven't had the opportunity to check it out yet, we hope to see you on October 5th at Fenton for our 5th Anniversary event. The real question may be where Barkitecture will pop up next! https://lnkd.in/e7hASdzE #PetRescue #Barkitecture #Community #Local #Design #MoreIn24 #Architecture #AIA #Architect #PetArchitecture #DesignBuild
