2024 COD Fall Conference: Connecting Cultures, Catalyzing Change
The AIA's Committee on Design (COD) conference in Brazil in 2024 will focus on the country's architectural and cultural heritage, including essential site visits and discussions with local experts.
Join us in Brazil!
This October 17-26 we'll host our first International Conference on Design since 2019. Join us as we visit three major Brazilian cities, São Paulo, Brasília, and Rio de Janeiro, on this significant 200th Anniversary of bilateral relations between the US and Brazil.
Our 10-day study tour will offer an opportunity to engage in cultural exchange while exploring how different regions of the world develop place-based forms of design thinking that are catalyzed by their culture and empathy for society. Comparing Brazil to our experience at COD’s spring design conference in Northwest Arkansas, both regions bring differing degrees of private and public sector investment in design that benefits society and influences architecture and development across the globe.
