The Virginia Design Forum is a biennial event celebrating and exploring critical topics around design. Curated by the Design Committee, the two-day event showcases the talent and work of some of the profession’s most cutting-edge designers, as well as to bring together and connect architects of all ages as we engage the pressing issues of our time.
