I also want to congratulate those students who have recently graduated from High School and High Education College or Technical schools. This past month I saw many proud parents, families, and friends celebrating their accomplishments and on behalf of AIA Las Vegas, we offer our sincere congratulations and best wishes for the future.

As June is starting, this month brings with it the annual AIA Conference A’23 which is being held in San Francisco on June 7th through June 10th. I will be in attendance representing AIA Las Vegas as the annual business meeting portion along with John Sawdon, AIA who will be representing AIA Nevada. At the business meeting there will be a vote for the leadership of AIA National moving forward If anyone would like to reach out to me about one of the candidates, please feel free to contact me so that I can represent the voice of our membership

In closing, I hope everyone has a safe and healthy start to their summer and GO KNIGHTS GO!

Sincerely,

James Horvath, AIA

I am e of Arch ( )

I am thrilled to announce that I have joined the fabulous Las Vegas chapter of AIA! I initially moved here from the south suburbs of Chicago to attend UNLV and pursue my passion for hospitality management After graduating with my bachelor's degree in Hospitality Management and landing a job at the Venetian resort, Nevada became my second home Before joining the AIA team, I gained experience in various aspects of the hospitality industry, such as hotel operations, group hotel operations for conventions, casino marketing, and resort services.

I am excited to come from the hospitality industry and work with and support the architectural community. I have honed many skills from my time spent working on the strip, such as customer service, teamwork, problem-solving, and project management, and AIA is the ideal place to apply all of those and more. These skills are essential in any profession, but especially in an organization such as this one that has diverse programming and advocacy needs.

What I enjoy most about architecture is…

What I enjoy most about architecture is its power to attract and connect people I have always admired buildings and venues that combine beauty and functionality Growing up in Chicago, I had many opportunities to experience different styles and cultures of architecture My parents took me to various concerts in the downtown area, where I enjoyed exploring the neighborhoods and seeing the different art styles. Designs that can shape memorable experiences and inspire people are my favorite such as live music venues and skyscrapers.

Looking to the future…

Las Vegas is a dynamic and diverse city that offers a variety of opportunities and attractions. Architecture is an essential element of its appeal, as it shapes the environment and enhances the experience of our residents and visitors. Since joining AIA, I have had the opportunity to participate in several events and witness the talent and passion of our design community From high school students to AIA Emeritus members, I am impressed by the level of creativity and innovation that is involved in designing and sustaining this city for all in the AEC industry

I am eager to meet you all, learn from your insights, and provide you with any assistance you may need I appreciate your warm welcome to this community!

Sincerely,

Taryn Kole Assistant Director of Operations

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

BY CARLOS D. FERNANDEZ

We're thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter in the story of AIA Las Vegas and AIA Nevada: a move to the historic Morelli House. A testament to the city's vibrant architectural history, the Morelli House will serve as the canvas on which we sketch our future, honoring the past while embracing the opportunities of the present This gem, nestled in the heart of Las Vegas, boasts a rich history and architectural significance that transcends time

Built in 1959, the Morelli House is a beacon of mid-century modern architecture in Las Vegas Designed by the acclaimed architect Hugh E Taylor, the house perfectly encapsulates the style and flair of the era The house was originally the home of the charismatic Sands Hotel band leader, Antonio Morelli, and his wife, Helen During its heyday in the 1950s and 60s, it served as a gathering place for some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Judy Garland, and many others

This dwelling, emblematic of Las Vegas's flamboyant growth and charm, stood as a testament to Morelli's significant contributions to the community, both as a music director and as an active participant in the development of Las Vegas Its design, materials, and workmanship reflect an integrity that earned it a place on three historic registers: the State of Nevada (2001), the City of Las Vegas (2007), and the National Register of Historic Places (2012).

This architectural marvel was moved from its original location at 52 Country Club Drive in the Desert Inn Country Club to its current address at 861 East Bridger Avenue in September 2001. Despite the move, the house has retained its architectural merit, and its "primary spaces" - the exterior, entry, kitchen-breakfast nook, dining room, living room, and the guest and master bathrooms - have been restored to their original state as closely as possible, bringing to life the aura and appeal of the mid-century era

Today the Morelli House is owned by the Junior League of Las Vegas Endowment, which considers the house a permanent gift for Nevada's current and future citizens The Junior League is a nonprofit organization committed to promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community

The Morelli House represents the intersection of architectural excellence and community spirit, and this historic home is ready to open its doors once again, welcoming the architectural community with open arms This is a fitting headquarters for an organization dedicated to promoting the architectural profession and the built environment

Moving our office to the Morelli House isn't just about a change of scenery - it represents a remarkable partnership and shared vision between AIA Las Vegas and the Junior League of Las Vegas Endowment We've signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that outlines our shared commitment to preserving the architectural heritage of the Morelli House and maximizing its potential as a space for community engagement and collaboration

As we settle into our new home, we look forward to soon welcome you to the Morelli House We believe this move marks the beginning of a new era for AIA Las Vegas and AIA Nevada – an era of architectural excellence, community engagement, and a shared vision for a brighter future If you are interested in investing your time, talent, or please reach out.

Here's to a bright future ahea

We all have a good laugh at someone's embarrassing auto-correct typo (or maybe you've turned red by one of your own) But carefu concise writing that communicates exactly the intended message is critical, especially when the consequences for miscommunication are considerable. In the old days, poo communication could be blamed on bad handwriting. That's not an issue today since almost everyone types instead. But careles writing that is ambiguous, wandering, jargon laden, or peppered with typos, is the new bad handwriting--and also just as unreadable
