Introducing IMPACT NY, the newest IIDA NY chapter event, established to enhance visibility and highlight the importance of pro-bono design work. Through this event, the IIDA NY Chapter hopes to strengthen the local design community’s collective commitment to giving back while celebrating individual contributions.
Submissions of IMPACT-ful pro-bono work by NY Metro area Architecture and Design firms will be displayed during a cocktail reception where guest speakers Michael Murphy and Alan Ricks, recipients of Contract Magazine’s 2012 Designer of the Year Award, will address the importance of designing, building, and advocating for architecture that improves well-being and strengthens communities.
