The Value of International Collaboration:
The Realities of Moving Into New Markets
Date: Monday 4th October 2004
Time: 8.30am – 11.30am
Location: Center for Architecture, 536 LaGuardia Place New
York
This RIBA-USA New York Chapter presentation and forum will
examine the recently published AIA International Contracts
B611/INT2002 and B621/INT2002, their applicability and use
in new and existing markets on a global basis.
We will discuss practical considerations such as:
(i) different local dynamics in the formation of Design Teams;
(ii) relationships among client, local and consulting architects,
engineers, interior designers, and other subcontractors or
consultants;
(iii) Structuring of your presence – legal and practical requirements
(iv) local standards and specifications,
(v) translation of documents;
(vi) payment issues; and
(vii) jurisdiction of disputes.
The forum will gather participant suggestions for the improvement
and adaptation of these significant documents for use in developing
and existing markets. It will emphasize the requirements of
practice within different cultures and under different legal
systems so as to insure effective collaboration in a complex
world.
We will discuss the global environment, including recent
and ongoing developments in mutual recognition agreements,
and the admission to the WTO of developing markets such as
China. The panel will also include architects with a significant
international presence to share their experiences, both good
and bad.

ALISON JACKSON Election Year 2004
October 21- December 4
British conceptual artist Jackson will have her premier exhibition
in the U.S. with a new body of work focusing on the Bush Whitehouse.
Jackson is notorious in the UK for her performances, films
and still photos which utilize look-alike actors who are elaborately
staged to parody the representation of politicians, royalty
and celebrities in tabloid photojournalism. Her book Private
published by Penguin in the UK has 70,000 copies in print,
and she recently received the Infinity award from the International
Center of Photography.
Join RIBA New York members at the opening of this British
exhibit at the Julie Saul Gallery 535 West 22nd Street New
