2017 AIA Conference on Architecture got massive criticism after leaving behind the women influence in architecture. In answer, it immediately set Elizabeth Diller on the list of the keynote speakers. In essence, it's surely just timely to get to know all the others as well.
According to Archinect, the newly added 2017 AIA Conference on Architecture speaker Diller will be joining Alejandro Aravena, Francis Kéré, and Michael Murphy this time. The three are the original ones because Diller Scofidio & Renfro's founding partner only got her slot after a controversial open letter.
The four will be heading to Orlando on April 27-29 for the 2017 AIA Conference on Architecture schedule. They will share their expertise on the discussion's theme: 'Anticipate'-"what it means to anticipate need, challenge, and change in architecture and design."
In Conference on Architecture's official website, it shared Aravena, Kere, Murphy and Diller's prowess. All of it told the reasons why they were chosen for the event.
