Perhaps you’ve noticed something different about this month’s cover. Yes…it’s a bit of a twist on what we usually feature. However, it still remains in the realm of art. The cover was chosen in celebration of AIA Florida and this year’s theme: Florida Architecture: 100 Years 100 Places, and reflects what you will see and learn more about in this issue.

http:// http://vpub.boyd-printing.com/publication/?i=110641&p=162012 marks the 100th Anniversary of The Florida Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA Florida), an association of over 3,300 members. This anniversary highlights the Chapter’s inspiring growth from its start in 1912, when forty-two architects created the Florida Association of Architects here in Jacksonville. Just three years later, the state of Florida created the State Board of Architecture, regulating the profession, and in 1916 Florida gave its first professional state licensing exam and passed four architects.

As festivities begin on May 24th, The Jacksonville Jazz Festival will be firmly set in its fourth decade as a major landmark in the music’s journey back from the bleak critical and commercial landscape of the 1970s. Before compact disc technology spurred a series of reissue booms in the ’80s, ’90s and beyond that poured millions into the industry; before the rising twin-tides of hip-hop and hipster culture lifted up boats of bebop and swing that had been sunk by the tsunami of ’60s rock, festivals kept the music alive.

With origins rooted in Shakespeare and Milton, the expression “tripping the light fantastic” went viral over a century ago in “Sidewalks of New York,” a ballad considered an unofficial city theme. In that bygone era, tripping conjured ideas of dancing gracefully rather than stumbling or falling (and epidemics spread via human contact, not the internet.)

As the 1970s dawned, American society was still reeling from the political and social upheavals of the 1960s and the artistic explosions that accompanied them. Artists and their public alike were experiencing a period of freedom and taboo-breaking unprecedented in American history.
