About us
Professional Affiliations & Liaisons
Lockard Creative maintains membership and active participation in the leading organizations that serve the disciplines and professions of design, planning and architecture.
As the central professional organization for US architects, the AIA is the official voice of the profession. M. Scott Lockard has been an invited speaker at conferences of the Western Mountain Region chapter, and projects designed by Mr. Lockard have received AIA awards and citations from national competitions and regional chapters. aia.org
Keeping abreast of developments and trends in the academic realm of the design professions is an important aspect of informed and effective practice. The ACSA (in concert with the AIA and NCARB) determines the criteria used by the National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB), the agency that accredits US professional degree programs in architecture. acsa-arch.org
American Institute of Architects
Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture
American Planning Association
Regional and urban planning is an important component of Lockard Creative's practice. Continuing involvement and interaction with the current attitudes, practices and demands in planning allow us to craft optimal solutions to our clients' planning issues and opportunities. planning.org

In the words of Bertram Goodhue, 'Good technique is born of tradition. We cannot start each generation at the beginning in our mastery of workmanship.' savingplaces.org
