Program Description:
Tourism in America flourished after World War I due to economic growth and reduced travel costs. In many American cities it has created an undeniable opportunity for economic growth. These cities are trying to take advantage of this opportunity. In recent years, Louisville has been promoting bourbon and horse racing in order to entice travelers to visit our city. However, there is more to this city than bourbon and horse racing. Louisville has a deep, unique history that is reflected in its architecture. What makes Louisville's architecture significant? How are these beautiful, historic buildings being promoted in order to attract tourists? 

Sarah Kelly is an AIA fellow at the Filson Historical Society working in the architecture archives. She has a B.A. in architecture from the University of Kentucky and she is currently working towards her master's in historic preservation at the University of Kentucky. Sarah's fellowship was made possible due to the combined efforts of AIA-CKC, the University of Kentucky, and the Filson Historical Society.

Course Description:
Georgetown and Scott County rank as the fastest growing community in Kentucky.

Opening in the Fall of 2019 Great Crossing High School and the adjoining athletic complex will provide the students of Scott County a state of the art educational facility. David Samokar, President of Clotfelter/Samokar Architects will share the project goals, the importance of client communication, considerations for future growth and the importance of incorporating spaces for differentiated learning into a 21st century learning environment.

Learning Objectives:
1. Understand the importance of gaining input from both the community and school district when developing design priorities.
2. Discuss the importance of owner/architect communication during programming, design development and through construction and how it makes a project successful.
