Exciting changes are coming to AIANY and the Center for Architecture. After reorganizing and launching the Center for Architecture as a 501(c)3 in 2015, and under the leadership of our new Executive Director Benjamin Prosky, the two organizations have embarked on an ambitious re-envisioning campaign. Some things have already changed; the Center for Architecture is now outfitted with bright-white terrazzo floors, but in the next year, we hope to address our digital and communications strategies, culminating in the launch a (much-needed) new and improved website.
As part of this process, we have thought long and hard about how we communicate information to our members and followers. In order bring more clarity to the identity of our quarterly print journal Oculus, we have decided to rename our biweekly newsletter. Formerly known as eOculus, our digital news will now simply be called the AIANY and Center for Architecture Newsletter.
