SKIA-2009
On February 24-28 2009 Bakuriani hosted the 32nd assembly – seminar of architect skiers. The assembly targeted the recent architectural and urban development problems resulting from the world economic crisis and attempted to involve public, including governmental officials and intelligentzia into discussion of such issues and promote the social role of architects in their solving.
The seminar was dedicated to the memory of Alik Japaridze, the first president of the Georgian Club of Architect Skiers: it was largely due to this cheerful, ingenious and creative personality that SKIA Club got established in 1977.
The traditional assembly of architects was followed by an alpine skiing competition in giant slalom for different age groups, which gathered 49 participants.
