AIA Cleveland goes to the beach to raise funds for the ACE Mentor Program. Our chapter’s signature summer event combines volleyball and sandcastle construction to present a unique opportunity for Cleveland architects and designers to engage with the public on one of Cleveland’s premier beaches: Edgewater Beach just west of Downtown Cleveland.
This year, Sand Fest is blasting into the future with our “Cleveland in the Year 3000” theme! Imagine what our city, and our world, might look like a thousand years from now. Will Cleveland have floating neighborhoods over Lake Erie? Gardens growing on skyscrapers? Stadiums powered by clean energy and transportation that moves through the air instead of the streets? As technology evolves, so will design. From futuristic landmarks and next-generation transportation to reimagined versions of Cleveland icons, the possibilities are endless.
