Does your design firm perform repeat or similar work for the same client or from a consultant? Would you like to manage risk and streamline the contract process for these projects? Geared towards architects, this webinar will provide an overview of the AIA Master Agreements and Task Orders and explain how they can be used to provide a wide array of select services over the course of several projects.
Attendees will:
- Understand how the Master Agreement/Task Order contractual model can be used to establish repeat business with your clients.
- Explore how the Master Agreement/Task Order contractual model can be used to streamline the contracting process with the consultants you use most often.
- Examine the B121™️–2018, Standard Form of Master Agreement Between Owner and Architect; the C421™️–2018, Standard Form of Master Agreement Between Architect and Consultant; and relevant service orders to learn how to use these documents properly and effectively.

Only 27% of registered architects in the U.S. are women, and AIA Winston-Salem is working to change that. On May 17th, the 4th annual Girls’ Lego Day welcomed 37 girls from local schools to the WFU Center for Private Business. With support from parents, sponsors, and a record number of volunteers, participants explored architecture and design, created their own projects, and took home sketchbooks, pencils, and LEGOs—all at no cost.![]()
This year’s prompt, “What if Kids Ruled the World?” guided students through the design process. Sketches were made, ideas exchanged, and some groups naturally collaborated to form mini “communities.” During a snack break, volunteers transformed the room into a LEGO workshop and shared their roles in architecture, highlighting what they love most about the profession.![]()
With tables full of LEGO bricks, the girls brought their visions to life—golden houses, banks, vet clinics, and more. Volunteers encouraged creativity, offered suggestions, and helped find the perfect pieces to complete the girls’ designs. At the end, students proudly presented their imaginative communities and shared the stories behind them.![]()
According to National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB), the number of women in the architect population has shown a continuous trend toward greater gender parity. Events like these undoubtedly work to engage our communities’ young women & provide a space for their creativity to flourish. With ongoing support, growth, & endorsement from our communities, the built environment can better reflect the diversity of those who live in it. For those already in the field, the event offers a refreshing glimpse into the unfiltered creativity of youth. As Kellie Overberg shared in her interview with WSFCS, “Every idea proposed at the event might not be feasible, but they’re always full of inspiration.”![]()
Special thanks to our sponsors: Davie Construction Co. provided sketchbooks, pencils, and hardhats to get attendees in builder mode. Bricks & Minifigs Kernersville, a woman-owned business, donated LEGOs, go-bags, and a gift card for future visits. Their generosity—and that of our volunteers—was key to the event’s success.![]()
Can’t wait to see what next year brings!
