A real-time, online presentation of AIA Colorado South’s partnership with Google Sketch Up and the AIA Center for Communities by Design will demonstrate a Web-based community forum that is providing unprecedented access to the design process to provide a sustainable downtown Colorado Springs. Participants are encouraged to view the progress to date by visiting www.aiacolorado.org/greatstreets-greatskyline prior to the session.
