Cora's core group

Residential Architect, August, 2004 by S. Claire Conroy

the nascent Congress of Residential Architects (CORA) took another step toward developing a full-fledged organization at a recent planning session in Washington, D.C. The gathering was spearheaded by architects Jeremiah Eck, Duo Dickinson, and Dennis Wedlick, whose mission statement appeared in the May issue of residential architect (ra), and attended by 15 leading architects and invited guests from across the country.

Hosted by the American Institute of Architects at its headquarters, the group of "founding counselors" mapped the agenda for CORA's inaugural meeting in Los Angeles on Dec. 8, following ra's Reinvention 2004 symposium. Emerging from the session was the event's overall theme: "Adding Value: Architects and the American House." The theme of value, as it affects the design and practice of residential architecture, will be explored in a series of presentations in December.
