  • Thirsty Third Thursdays.

    Connecting Our Design Community, One Sip at a Time

    Thirsty Third Thursday is our signature social series designed to bring AIA members, allied professionals, chapter sponsors and friends together in a relaxed and welcoming setting. These informal gatherings offer the perfect chance to network, catch up, and share ideas — just good conversation and great company.

    This fun and easygoing tradition was sparked by our Allied Member, Austin Davis, Principal Engineer at Ashley & Vance Engineering, Inc. His simple, yet brilliant idea to create casual meetups for our design community quickly took off, becoming a well-loved and highly attended part of our calendar.

    Whether you're a seasoned architect, an emerging professional, or a community supporter, Thirsty Third Thursday is a great way to stay connected. Join us for the next round — let's raise a glass and toast to good design and great connections!

    The DeserTecture Series celebrates the distinctive architectural character of our desert communities. Through curated tours and exclusive member events, we explore the buildings, landmarks, and design solutions that define our local landscape — past, present, and future.

    Each tour offers a rare inside look at notable structures and private spaces, showcasing the creative work of local architects and design professionals who are shaping the region’s identity. From historic gems to cutting-edge contemporary designs, the Desertecture Series highlights the innovative ways our community continues to adapt and respond to the unique challenges of desert living.
