AIA Atlanta is hosting Arch-o-Lantern, a pumpkin-carving and fall social at SweetWater Brewing Company on Wednesday, October 28, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. The organizer’s registration page also offers an optional tour and tasting beginning at 5 p.m. This is a playful design event rather than a formal CAD class.
For someone who has been modeling ornate dragon claws and decorative prints, there is a real creative angle: translate a detailed form into a silhouette that can actually be cut from a pumpkin. It is also a chance to see how architects simplify visual ideas into bold shapes.
The event is 21-plus; the optional tour requires closed-toe shoes. Check registration and availability before going, and do not assume admission or the tour is free.
Check AIA registration if a 5–7:30 p.m. pumpkin-design social appeals.
