Architects are closing their slideshows to study hands-on innovation and collaboration in the Black Hills area. Design in the Hills is a conference of architecture professionals largely held outdoors. We’re joined by three architects to discuss the unique elements of design in the Black Hills spaces and the nature of the design professions in South Dakota. They also talk about exciting new projects in engineering, sculpture and design.

Guests from the Rapid City studios include Kristine Bjerke, principal architect at Architecture Incorporated and founding member of Design in the Hills, Patri Acevedo, Principal of AcV2 architecture and vice president AIA South Dakota, and Gene Fennell, Principal and Founder of Fennell Design, Inc. in Custer and President of AIA South Dakota.
