SUMMARY:AIA 150 Blueprint for America
DESCRIPTION:WHAT IS BLUEPRINT FOR AMERICA?\nBlueprint for America is the cornerstone of the AIA’s 150th Anniversary Celebration. Intended to inspire communities to come together around architecture\, Blueprint provides the opportunity for individuals to collaborate with AIA architects and share their ideas for creating livable communities. As the projects are completed over the course of this year\, the AIA will compile case studies from individual Blueprint projects. The case studies\, intended for local officials interested in implementing similar programs\, will be accessible through the AIA’s Web site\, www.aia150.org free of charge. The completed piece\, titled “Blueprint for America Mosaic\: A Gift to the Nation\,” will be presented by the AIA in 2008\nAIA 150 [http\://www.aia150.org/]\nROBERTSON COUNTY\nOn Friday and Saturday\, April 27 and 28\, 2007\, citizens of Robertson County convened in the United Methodist Church in Springfield for a Visioning Workshop on “Preserving Rural Land and Revitalizing Town Centers.” This was the first of three workshops being convened this year in Middle Tennessee as part of the American Institute of Architects 150 Blueprint for America Initiative. In Middle Tennessee\, this A.I.A. program focuses on the challenges communities’ face undergoing rapid growth. Prior discussion with Robertson County leadership indicated that there existed significant concern over the quality of its growth patterns\, and the need to retain its traditional character while undergoing sustainable growth.
