Buy Idaho Architecture Display | 2.19.13
CAPITOL BUILDING | Boise, Idaho
Thank you to all who submitted project boards and/or volunteered at Wednesday's Buy Idaho Capitol Show. Our display of work received many compliments. AIA Idaho volunteers were able to visit with several legislators, and one of our members had a nice conversation at the display with Governor Otter.
All boards submitted were displayed. We had a great location that permitted all sides of our cubes to be seen. Please see the attached photos. Central Section will be displaying the cubes in other venues throughout the year, and hopefully at next year's Buy Idaho Capitol event as well.
Thanks again to all that helped make our profession in here in Idaho more visible, and encourage the use of IDAHO ARCHITECTS!
