COLUMBUS, Ind.--Exhibit Columbus has announced plans for its 2018 National Symposium titled Design, Community, and Progressive Preservation. The event will take place September 26-29 with daytime programming, evening keynote speakers, exclusive tours, and the American Institute of Architects’ trade show.
Exhibit Columbus is collaborating with Docomomo US to create the theme of this year’s symposium, which will explore how investing in the value of good design can make communities better for everyone and how new approaches to preservation are positively incorporating modern heritage into the future of cities.
The symposium will begin with a kick-off keynote conversation produced in partnership with the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields, and sessions will then continue for three days inside many of the iconic buildings throughout Columbus. Finalists in the 2018 J. Irwin and Xenia S. Miller Prize Competition will be introduced during the symposium, and they will participate in sessions. The symposium will also feature exclusive tours, including the Miller House and Garden, and offer rare glimpses inside some of the modern masterpieces of the city.
Keynote speakers and registration details will be announced in late spring. There will be a discounted ticket price for students and residents of Columbus.
