Design in the Hills

Thank you for joining us for Design in the Hills 2023!
This conference is unique in the design world; while there are sponsors and continuing education credits, very little of it is provided in a traditional classroom setting. The conference is interactive and mobile. Design in the Hills is a unique gathering of architects, landscape architects, interior designers, engineers and artists from across the state, along with members of the community who all connect to celebrate and elevate the standard of design.
Each year, AIA South Dakota focuses on projects and places of interest in the Black Hills communities, rotating the event between the various cities in the region.
Tours for 2023, held July 20 in Rapid City, included the Security First Bank, Hermosa School and Dinosaur Park reconstruction. Our sponsor expo was held during happy hour at Ugly Graffiti in downtown Rapid City.
We look forward to seeing you next year!
