If you follow goings-on in Cincinnati, then by now you should be aware of the first annual ArchiNATI festival, a week-long celebration of Cincinnati’s built environment. ArchiNATI is the brainchild of the Young Architects and Interns Forum (YAIF), a committee of the Cincinnati Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. (Full disclosure: yours truly is a YAIF member and has been helping coordinate online publicity for ArchiNATI.)

ArchiNATI 2011 will kick off at 6 PM on Friday, October 14th with a social gathering and Visual Delight presentation at the former Cue space at 1219 Main Street, next door to Japp’s. As part of the Visual Delight presentation, I will be giving a short presentation about the Metro Cincinnati project. Admission is free, and all those who have an interest in Cincinnati’s built environment are encouraged to attend.

ArchiNATI continues through Friday the 21st. The Events Calendar contains the full list of ArchiNATI events, many of which will be of interest to readers of this site.
