2025 Fall Design Discourse. Mosaic : Intersections of Design, Construction

Mosaic is a series of programs highlighting how multidisciplinary collaboration shapes Chattanooga's built environment. Hosted by AIA Chattanooga, this year's Fall Design Discourse theme explores how diverse voices and disciplines come together to design and build for—and with—our communities, where architecture, engineering, construction, and community converge.

• Design Charette | Tuesday, October 7 · 5:30–7:30 PM at COSA collaborative design session bringing professionals together to tackle community-centered challenges
• Panel Discussion | Wednesday, October 8 · 11:30 AM–1:00 PM. A powerful conversation among architects, engineers, and builders on designing for impact—as a unified community.
• Participating organizations in the Panel are AIA, Preserve Chattanooga, Chattanooga Design Studio, ASHRAE, Green Spaces, ASID, and TNASLA. These experiences will engage professionals, spark new ideas, and encourage collaboration across disciplines.
