AIANH Views the Currier Museum of Art ExpansionJoin Us! 
AIANH begins its fall series of chapter meetings September 17 with a visit to the newly expanded Currier Museum of Art in Manchester. The evening event will include tours and a presentation by Ann Beha Architects of Boston, Harvey Construction Corp., and Susan Leidy, deputy director of the Museum. We'll enjoy a reception and dinner in the dramatic new reception space that bridges the original building and the new galleries, now called the Winter Garden.
Don’t miss this rare opportunity for an "inside" view of the Currier expansion. We have a spectacular evening planned and hope to see you there!
Cormack Construction Management and Microdesk, Inc. are sponsoring this event.

AIA's Shape of America 
Current video features Kahn Library at Phillips Exeter Academy; AIANH Member Amy Bailey, AIA, is one of the commentators on the video...
The buildings that we live in and use are rich in history and significance monuments to our communities' and nation's image and innovation. More than mere buildings, America's most recognizable structures and those not so well known in our communities, influence our lives and inspire us to dream. They are the Shape of America.
To mark The American Institute of Architects 150th anniversary in 2007, Americans from coast to coast engaged in a conversation about these structures, voting for their favorite buildings, bridges, monuments and memorials. Now the AIA is continuing the national dialogue through a stimulating series of videos, in which AIA architects share their personal stories, opinions, and insights about these works of architecture.
See the video.

AIANH Calendar of Events 
Do you have a little time to give to the NH Forum? We’re looking for someone to put together the monthly calendar published both in the Forum and online. You would just need to compile a list of events related to architecture and send it to the AIANH office by email. No meetings; no driving! Deadline for each issue is the first of the month prior to publication. Please contact Carolyn Isaak, office@aianh.org, if you can help.
