lectures

​Hearing the voices of other architects and designers inspires us all. PhilaNOMA looks to bring speakers who can educate our membership on their practice, technical advances in the field, or social/cultural/political topics. Featured speakers have included Kenny Gamble, Paolo Moya, Kathy Dixon, Michael Ford- the Hip Hop Architect, Phil Freelon, and Frances Kere.

philanoma on the road

​Creativity and design drive the world and PhilaNOMA like to get out and see it. Field trips happen both locally and to regional attractions. In the past we have visited The Philadelphia Art Museum, PAFA, and done a Mural Arts tour of Philly. We have attended local conferences for NOMA, AIA, Design Philadelphia, Green Build, DVGBC, and the Preservation Alliance.

In 2016, we sponsored a bus to the grand opening of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture. Come join us on the road!
