The Chapter meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month at the Boston Society of Architects, 290 Congress

We have a number of local and international projects going and welcome anyone who would like to participate from students, community members, professionals or any combination of the above.

I'd love to be there, but I'm at home watching kids that night. My wife is a prof at Clark U in Worcester and does work in Africa (mostly Uganda). I've got some opportunities/ideas for potential projects for down the road, and I'm very interested to hear what this Chapter has been up to!
