Open Architecture Tour 2010
Cancellation Notice
The Architects Association of Santa Cruz County regretfully announces the cancellation of the Open Architecture Tour for 2010.
For fifteen years, we have been proud to present a wide range of homes on the Tour, both as a way to promote the value and quality of design, and as a benefit for our local Santa Cruz affiliate of Habitat for Humanity.
The ongoing economic contraction has hit the design and construction industries particularly hard. Unfortunately, this year’s Tour was not able to acquire a sufficient number of homes for the Tour to be a success. The economic climate has affected our sponsors and advertisers as well.
The AASCC has made the decision to cancel this year’s Tour rather than proceed with a limited number of Tour Sites. We feel it is important that the Tour continue to offer a good value to our ticket booklet purchasers, sponsors, advertisers, presenting Architects and Habitat for Humanity. We feel that a limited tour would not achieve this goal.
We have already started planning to bring back the Open Architecture Tour for 2011. We look forward to your continued enthusiasm and support for the Tour.
Sincerely,
Catherine Moon, Tour Director
Hugh D. Carter, AASCC President

About
AASCC
The Architects Association of Santa Cruz County is a not-for-profit professional
organization of licensed architects, intern architects, and related professionals
within Santa Cruz County. It was formed in 1982 with the purpose of increasing
public awareness and sensitivity to architecture, give members a platform
for addressing design and planning issues at the regulatory level, foster
communication among local design and building professionals, and sponsor
cooperation among private and public groups with the goal of improving
the quality of both the built and natural environment.
About
