Design Alliance creations are featured in June as part of the Iowa chapter of the American Institute of Architect’s member display. AIA Iowa features the work of a member firm each month at its office, which overlooks Cowles Commons at Capital Square in downtown Des Moines. Design Alliance, a 25-year-old firm based in Waukee, wrote the following about its display: “The term ‘architect’ is seen a lot these days. Our display is a reminder of its original and primary definition taken straight from Merriam-Webster. The silhouettes of the Des Moines skyline and various Design Alliance projects show the uniqueness of each building and the important, collective role architect-designed buildings have in shaping cities throughout the State of Iowa.” The displays are open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
