This was an occasion to exchange ideas on the future of the Institute in view of its 30th anniversary in October 2008. A special surprise tribute was given to Ann Ferebee by two longstanding fellows, Jane Thompson and Lance Brown. Leaving the Institute after thirty years, Ann would focus on writing a design history book for which she was awarded a Fellows Grant from the Institute. She would also have a visiting research fellowship at the Canadian Center for Architecture.
