Design Intelligence: Civic in Nature: Design in Service of the City and its People

When:  Jul 15, 2026 from 18:00 to 19:30 (ET)
Design Intelligence is conceived as a recurring Victorian Chapter forum focused on design thinking rather than finished work. The series positions architecture as an evolving intellectual practice - tested through built work, challenged through works in progress, and sharpened through debate. Our third event is jointly presented through the AIA and Urban Design Forum Australia.  Its focus is on urban scale projects that have a civic impact on the wider city and, crucially, provide a degree of generosity for people that improves the overall urban condition.  The discussion will examine how design intelligence is formed, transferred, and contested over time between the project authors and the stakeholder and communities they serve.
