Mark your calendars now and get ready to participate in ODC 22! Your President, Kaley Fought, AIA, and a team of member volunteers are working with staff to make sure this years’ program is a truly hybrid experience, available for in-person attendees and those who can join us online, connecting us all as we reconnect, LINK, and think about the future in architectural design and practice.

The theme for ODC 22 will be LINK. The word link means a relationship between two things or situations, especially where one thing affects the other; such as "investigating a link between pollution and forest decline." Here, we will explore how architecture links us in everyday life – to each other, to our surroundings, and to the environment, for example.

Architecture sets the stage for the storytelling of our lives. The foundation, the structure of our community lives in and around the physical form. We want to know - how do we expand understanding of the links in the built environment affecting practice and outcomes for clients through case studies and presentations of creative solutions to our pressing issues:

Climate / Resilience /Forest Fires / Materials
Houselessness
Connecting Urban / Rural spaces and context
Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging in Architectural Practice
Pipeline Development

Your conference planning committee is working very hard to select a great speaker line up and we are hoping for great attendance. Make sure you don't miss it!
