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. Robertson County is the first such workshop\, with subsequent                 workshops                 scheduled for Lebanon and Kingston Springs. There are two essential                 elements in the A.I.A. Middle Tennessee initiative. The first                 is to address problems of growth and town centers through the                 A.I.A.‘s                 Ten Principles of Livable Communities\, and second\, to get A.I.A.                 architects intensively engaged for a two-day period with the                 citizens of the three selected communities.\nRobertson County Summary Report                 Presentation [http\://www.sitemason.com/files/cCbomk/RobertsonCoSumPres_web.pdf]\nRobertson County Final Report [http\://www.sitemason.com/files/dHRi2A/RobertsonCounty_final_web.pdf]\nLEBANON\nOn Thursday and Friday\,           August 9 and 10\, 007\, citizens of Lebanon\, Tennessee convened at Cumberland           University’s Heydel Fine Arts Center Auditorium         for Assessment and Visioning Workshops on “Lebanon’s Town         Center and Its Neighborhoods\: Strengths\, Weaknesses\, Opportunities and         Threats” and “The Potential of Transit-Oriented Development         in Lebanon.” This was the second of three such sets of workshops         being convened this year in Middle Tennessee as part of the American         Institute of Architects 50 Blueprint for America initiative\, which celebrates         through community interaction the AIA’s 50th birthday. In Middle         Tennessee\, this program focuses on the challenges communities face undergoing         rapid         growth. Prior discussion with Lebanon public officials indicated         that there existed significant concern over the quality of its growth         patterns\, and the need to retain traditional character while undergoing       sustainable growth.\nLebanon Summary Report Presentation [http\://www.sitemason.com/files/eNxbIQ/LebanonSumPres_web.pdf]\nLebanon Final Report [http\://www.sitemason.com/files/fTd5p6/Lebanon_Final_Report_comp.pdf] \nKINGSTON             SPRINGS\nOn Friday and Saturday\,           March 14 and 15\, 2008\, citizens of Kingston Springs\, Tennessee convened           at Harpeth High School for Community Assessment and Visioning Workshops           on “Revitalizing the Town Center(s) and Conserving Open Land           in Kingston Springs.” This was the third of three such sets of           workshops being convened in Middle Tennessee as part of the American           Institute of Architects 150 Blueprint for America Middle Tennessee           Initiative. In Middle Tennessee\, this program focuses on the challenges           communities face under going rapid growth. Kingston Springs could           be characterized as a rural hamlet. There are two essential elements           in the AIA Middle Tennessee           Initiative. The first is to address the interrelated challenges of           revitalizing town centers and conserving open land through the AIA’s           Ten Principles of Livable Communities\, and second to get AIA architects           intensively engaged for a two day period with the citizens of the three           selected communities-- as grassroots outreach\, public awareness\, and       cultural connectivity..\nKingston               Springs               Summary Report Presentation [http\://www.sitemason.com/files/gYSZ5m/Kingston%20SpringsFINAL_pres.pdf]\nKingston               Springs Final Report [http\://www.sitemason.com/files/i4ySLC/KingSpringsFinal_sm.pdf]\n
