Center for Architecture And Design - Kansas City

SEGD KC is joining the Center for Architecture and Design

The Center is a Kansas City collective of design organizations that encompass Architecture (AIA), Planning (APA), Interiors (IIDA), Industrial Design (IDSA), Landscape Architecture (ASLA), Graphic Design (AIGA) and now Experiential Design (SEGD). The goal of the Center is to bring together multiple design disciplines and promote the professions to future generations. And to serve as a forum for discussion, collaboration and the promotion of quality design through programs, lectures, education and advocacy.

If you are a current member of SEGD – then congratulations, you are now also a member of the Center! This means you’ll receive a heads up on upcoming Center events and discounts on event registration. Speaking of events, the Center hosts over 20 events a year, including speakers, workshops and tours and of course the amazing KC Design Week. Keep track of upcoming Center events here: https://www.cfadkc.org/

We are so excited to bring SEGD to the table as an equal stakeholder at the Center. Together we can do big things. If you have any suggestions for Center events, speakers, tours or activities, please drop us a line, and we’ll bring it to the next board meeting. If you are interested in getting involved with Center activities – there will be lots of volunteer opportunities, just reach out if you are interested!

This beefy machine has a five-axis router that can make items 10 feet wide, 20 feet long and 5 feet high. WOAH. Join us for lunch (provided), a tour of DI’s impressive shop, and a close-up look at the 3D printer.

Join with your SEGD community to share some tips & tricks for CADtools. .

 This software is invaluable to so many of us – but everyone seems to use it differently. Some of us are just getting to know what CADtools can do – but even those of us who have used it for years are constantly uncovering new tips and tricks.

This will be a peer-led workshop. Participants are welcome to share their own tips and tricks for CADtools so that we can learn from each other. Get in touch if you'd like to present!

Snacks and drinks provided, all are welcome. 
Admission is free - but please RSVP here
 

Parking available in the garage off of 48th St.

See you on the 12th!
