Lecture | AIAS FORUM 2025

Principal Miguel Rivera, FAIA, will be the design keynote speaker at the American Institute of Architecture Students FORUM 2025 in Austin, Texas. Miguel’s presentation takes place on Friday, January 5 from 5-7:30pm at the State Theatre.

FORUM is the AIAS’ annual design and career development conference where all of our members from around the world gather in a new city under and spend a few days together to grow together and develop their voices, ideas, and actions for the future. This year the theme is Crossroads: a point at which a crucial decision must be made that will have far-reaching consequences. Austin, Texas, the United States, and the World are at the crossroads of the housing crisis, the climate crisis, and dealing with the dynamics of rapid growth. Join us in exploring how design justice and architecture can make a difference!
