The VSAIA Emerging Leaders in Architecture 2012 program is underway.  This year’s class project will be based in Charlottesville.  “As important as the project is to the program,” says Will Scribner, FAIA, Principal at SMBW in Richmond and chair of the ELA Steering Committee, “our main goal in one short year is simply to expose these young leaders to the lessons it has taken us thirty years to learn.”

The 2012 class will be working with The Orange Dot Project in Charlottesville.

The class began the process with a day-long meeting in March in Charlottesville, touring sites in the city and beginning to formulate tasks.
