AIA Northern Celebrated 60 years in 2008
60th Celebration Event
The American Institute of Architects Northern Chapter, AIA Northern’s 60-year history is marked with influential voices working to strengthen our communities, remember our past and design for our future. We have helped recognize and preserve our region’s historic architecture, provided education within our schools, preserved our waterways and promoted the benefits of careful planning and good design. Through our efforts, we have successfully minimized the impact of development along our waterways, sought ways to further energy efficient design and construction practices, developed and taught curriculum in our area schools and assisted many community and non-profit organizations in the initial planning stages of their projects. Our celebration is one for the entire community. Thank you to all that were able to attend the Wednesday, June 25th event at the Sheraton in Duluth.

Earlier that day a symposium was held where Jennifer Webb, PHD Assistant Professor, Art History, UMD, defined the popular culture of the 50’s featuring examples of other gas stations or transportation structures; Wendy Johnson, Cloquet Pine Journal Publisher, moderated a discussion with the family on their experience working with Frank Lloyd Wright on the design of the Lindholm Gas Station; Tim Quigley, AIA, Past President of the Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy, Board of the Minnesota Society of Architectural Historians, spoke on Frank Lloyd Wright his life and design philosophy; and Robert Pond, architect who worked with Wright on the design of the Lindholm Gas Station, talked about his personal experience working with Frank Lloyd Wright.
Sesquicentennial in 2007
In 2007, AIA Northern presented a three-part series addressing the role our waterways play in our area titled, Re-establishing Connections to Our Waterways.
Community members, architects, planners and water resource specialists shared stories of the waterways’ history, our current connections and hopes for our waterways in the future. The series culminated in a charrette design process which developed policies outlining the responsibilities of communities and individuals towards maintaining this region’s outstanding water quality.
