SUMMARY:Embodied Carbon 101: Structure
DESCRIPTION:AIA Richmond is partnering with Va. COTE to present Embodied Carbon 101 on Tuesdays through Oct. 4 from noon-1:30 p.m. \n\n\n\nJust how much-embodied carbon is your project’s structure accountable for? And what can be done to reduce the impacts? \n\n\n\nStructure accounts for a significant portion of a project’s embodied carbon. In this course\, a panel of structural engineers and researchers discusses the positives and negatives\, with regard to embodied carbon\, of using concrete\, steel\, and timber each as primary structural materials. Panelists share ways to reduce and measure the embodied carbon impacts of each structure material–-through material makeup and specification\, material reduction\, material sourcing\, and reuse. \n\n\n\nEarn 1.5 AIA LU|HSW

SUMMARY:The Economic Impact of Art & Design in the Workplace
DESCRIPTION:The office is being disrupted; in response we need disruptive design. We’ll usenew research from sociology and psychology to examine the failings of existingoffice spaces\, multi-year surveys that highlight users’ needs and frustrations\, and examine flexible space concepts as a solution. We’ll consider what the WellBuilding Institute says about art and its effects on experience of spaces. We’llalso use case studies to show the economic impact that justifies making art apriority in workplace design. Attendees will gain new ideas for workplace designand\, importantly\, a new way of talking about the value of their services. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\nEvaluate economic impacts of design using case studies and new research inworkplace designIdentify deficiencies of existing open office design as they relate to the formation ofhealthy and productive environmentsAnalyze the effects of art and design in the workplace on comfort\, satisfaction andproductivityDescribe forces behind the accelerating trend towards flexible spaces\, the designgoals in their formation\, and the impact on users and business operations\n\n\n\nEarn 1.0 AIA LU | HSW \n\n\n\nRegister online \n\n\n\nPresented in partnership with Lighting Virginia.

SUMMARY:Planning + Designing for Diverse\, Equitable\, and Inclusive Campus Learning Environments
DESCRIPTION:Join RWiD and Shannon Dowling online for a lunchtime learning program. \n\n\n\nOver the 2020-21 academic year\, Shannon used her position as a SCUP Fellow to engage with more than two dozen institutions around the topic of welcoming and inclusive physical campus environments. She interacted with 200-plus students to understand their comfort levels in different environments across campus and what design qualities drove feelings of inclusion and belonging. Drawing from student words and student work\, Shannon created a playbook that gives strategies for campus master plans\, facility plans\, and building renovations to reinforce the goals and metrics outlined in an institution’s strategic plan around inclusion\, belonging\, and student success. The playbook serves as a conversation starter: a way to get planners\, designers\, and university stakeholders to the table and move the needle towards a more supportive physical environment. How can stakeholders across an institution work together to ensure the physical environment is welcoming and inclusive to marginalized students? What values manifest in the built environment\, and what metrics can we apply to our projects to assure that our physical campus environments embody the mission\, vision\, and values of the universities they house? In this session\, Shannon will share her process and her research. Using highlights from conversations with students\, design solutions they proposed\, and strategies outlined in the playbook\, Shannon will illustrate how thoughtful planning and design can contribute to a more welcoming\, inclusive\, and thriving place for students to live and learn. \n\n\n\nEarn 1.0 AIA LU|HSW \n\n\n\n Learning Outcomes: \n\n\n\nDiscuss how physical space can contribute to belonging from the perspective of students.Assess your campus spaces from a DEI lens using specific criteria and metrics.Strategize quick wins for immediate campus impact and long-term investment to create cultural change.Develop collaborative design ideas that will help re-envision problem spaces on your campus.\n\n\n\nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Future Smart
DESCRIPTION:We remain optimists. We envision a decade of renewed creative energy as we find new ways to conduct our lives and our work. And while we cannot predict with certainty the course of cultural or corporate evolution\, we can plan —and design— for uncertainty. We can recognize uncertainty as a state of extraordinary potential. As human beings we are connected across continents and seas\, but also through time. History offers perspective. A look back tells us that profound change\, the “premature arrival of the future\,” may destabilize social and economic structures\, But can also mobilize human ingenuity—inspiring achievements that have remade the material world. \nPresented in collaboration with Image Business Interiors and Teknion \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:A Jewel in Appalachia
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Richmond and AIA Northern Virginia for a jointly held virtual event on the award-winning short film “A Jewel in Appalachia” about the transformation of the Lawrence County Public Library. The film was awarded people’s choice in the 2022 AIA Look Up Film Challenge. You will hear directly from the projects architect and filmmakers from OPN Architects and Library Director Carlie Pelfrey about the importance of this transformative project to eastern Kentucky. \nLouisa is the small-county seat of 2\,327\, in Kentucky’s largest county. It’s a place of scarcity\, where the per capita income $12\,008 and 30% of the population lives below the poverty line. The original 1960s Lawrence County Public Library\, with limited windows and collection space\, high shelves\, hidden and inadequate seating and storage\, could not deliver on the library board and director’s promise to be a beacon for learning in a place where light can struggle to break through poverty’s pervasive darkness. They were committed to a process and a promise for a renovation that would create an epicenter for the county; embrace justice\, equity\, and care; address challenges head on; highlight access and opportunity; and most importantly celebrate the belief that a modern library can thrive anywhere. The renovated library\, which opened in February 2020\, manifests this mission. It is transparent\, accessible\, flexible\, easy to navigate\, promotes digital literacy\, and is welcoming and inclusive to all ages. The library is prideful without being ostentatious. It is now a place where a love for learning is on display\, showing residents that they deserve to aspire for better. The Lawrence County Public Library is an act of love. \nStorytelling has always been integral to the work of architects in community-based projects and the medium of filmmaking is expanding this tool and the ability to connect with wider audiences through social media and other forms of digital outreach. Programs like the AIA Look Up Film Challenge continue to encourage architects\, filmmakers\, and their clients to capture unique stories to share with others through the creative medium of film-making. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU | Elective \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: Lighting WELL
DESCRIPTION:Lighting and the WELL Building Standard \nWe know how to design environments that fuel our bodies\, keep us moving\, inspire our best work and facilitate a good night’s sleep. The Well Building Standard endeavors to provide an evidence-based process to validate an approach to design for environmental health and well-being. This seminar explores methods to achieve health and well-being in the Light Concept of the 2019 Well Buildings Standard version 2.0 as it pertains to both electric and daylighting sources. We spend more than 90% of our lives indoors. Studies show strong links between better views\, brighter light and better performance in office environments. The Light Well Concept promotes exposure to light and aims to create lighting environments that are optimal for visual\, mental\, and biological health. Discover how the standard supports circadian stimulus\, hormone levels and the sleep-wake cycles of occupants derived through scientific and medical knowledge to promote alertness\, better performance\, and better sleep quality while potentially reducing obesity\, diabetes\, depression\, breast cancer\, sleep disorders and more. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:General Assembly Building Hard Hat Tour + Happy Hour
DESCRIPTION:This program has been postponed due to pending inclement weather. \nPlease join YAF\, Glave & Holmes\, RAMSA\, and Gilbane for a tour of the General Assembly Building with Happy Hour to follow. \n“The new General Assembly Building\, replacing an existing jumble of buildings cobbled together over time\, anchors the northwest corner of Capitol Square\, the park surrounding Thomas Jefferson’s Virginia statehouse\, in downtown Richmond. Two historic facades of the Life Insurance Company of Virginia building (Clinton & Russell\, 1912) will be preserved and integrated into the new building; our design carries cornice and datum lines from the historic facades across the new facades\, framing a tripartite entrance portico facing the park and an identical entrance addressing Broad Street to the north. \nA double-height elliptical lobby will connect entrances from the park and Broad Street\, providing access to a business center and cafeteria with two large dining areas on the north and south sides of the building. A monumental stair will ascend to committee rooms on the second and third floors. From the fifth to the eleventh floors\, offices for assembly members will wrap additional committee rooms; above\, the tower will provide office suites for members of the Assembly and their aides. The three topmost floors will be reserved for members of the Senate Finance and House Appropriation committees” – Robert A.M.

SUMMARY:Metromont Precast Manufacturing Plant Tour
DESCRIPTION:Metromont is large scale precast concrete manufacturing plant that supplies a wide variety of structural and architectural shapes to the mid-Atlantic region design community. These precast elements are incorporated into a multitude of different structure types from low- and mid-rise apartment buildings\, hotels\, nursing homes to industrial facilities and parking structures. The plant operator guided tour will highlight many of the benefits of using precast in structures including durability\, quality assurance and versatility to name just a few. Attendees will have the opportunity to see preparation\, placement\, and finished products within a single 2 hours tour window. There will be ample opportunity for Q&A both from the plant operations perspective as well as the in-house engineering operations. \nThis plant tour will highlight the many of the reasons precast elements are a vital tool in the architects portfolio to achieve a wide variety of performance\, quality and aesthetic desirables. The presenters will discuss:\n* The intrinsic properties of thermal inertia from precast allowing for a more constant temperature both in cold and hot regions.\n* The innate stability of precast throughout its like and how there is no need for an chemical treatment to protect it against rot & insect attack meaning no emissions in the internal environment.\n* The affect precast concrete’s density how it makes it an ideal choice for sound absorption of sound in commercial and residential buildings.\n* The fire safety aspect of precast concrete and how its inability to burn provides structural stability for longer periods while also preventing the spread of fire from one building to another. \nEarn 2.0 AIA LU | HSW \nRegistration is limited to 15. \nHard hat\, vest\, safety glasses\, and closed-toe shoes required. \nRegister below

SUMMARY:The North Atlantic Cities: A Book Event & Lecture with Author Charles B. Duff
DESCRIPTION:“The North Atlantic Cities” by Charles B. Duff\, which is available for the first time in the United States\, is a book on urban development and urban life masquerading as a book on architecture. It is the story of four hundred years of architecture and urban development in four countries: the Netherlands\, Great Britain\, Ireland and the United States\, particularly cities like New York\, Boston\, Washington D.C.\, Philadelphia\, Baltimore\, Savannah\, to name a few. \nThe author starts with a kind of building few others have considered – the row house\, which could very well be the key to understanding why many of the world’s great cities look and function as they do. From the 1600’s to today as the author theorizes\, this innocuous-seeming housing type is perhaps the antidote to suburban sprawl\, urban decay and the worst catastrophes of global climate change. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:"Silo City: From Ruins to City" Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Richmond and AIA Northern Virginia for a jointly held virtual event on the award-winning short film “Silo City.” The film was awarded second place in the 2020 AIA Film Challenge. \nHear directly from architects Studio V Architecture and film-maker Jake Catalanotto about the importance of this transformative project to the city of Buffalo. “The Buffalo grain elevators at Silo City once fueled the growth of the city – but now they are abandoned. This site can be a hub for the cultural and economic resurgence of Buffalo\, a place of connection for the communities it once failed\, and an experiment in creating a sustainable American city.” \nThe story of the creation and development of this project is a compelling example of the power of design to bring about positive change in communities. Storytelling has always been integral to the work of architects in community-based projects and the medium of film-making is expanding this tool and the ability to connect with wider audiences through social media and other forms of digital outreach. Programs like the AIA Film Challenge continue to encourage architects\, film-makers\, and their clients to capture unique stories to share with others through the creative medium of film-making. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU | HSW \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:March Lunch & Learn: Optimized Acoustics
DESCRIPTION:Complying with the more stringent acoustic performance criteria in the standards\, guidelines\, and building rating systems has become more challenging in today’s predominantly larger and more open commercial interiors. This is in part due to trends towards more reflective floor materials\, fewer walls\, and an abundance of glass. Higher amounts of sound absorption are required to limit reverberation\, increase speech intelligibility and prevent widespread noise disturbances. This presentation will educate designers on achieving the required amount of noise control using high-performance\, modular\, acoustic ceilings. In locations where transmission of noise from one room into another needs to be prevented\, the use of ceilings alone as sound blockers\, for example when the demising wall stops at the ceiling level\, no longer complies with the standards\, guidelines and rating systems. This presentation will educate designers on blocking sound using walls and lightweight plenum barriers so that their designs comply not only with user expectations\, but also the higher sound isolation criteria in the acoustics standards and guidelines. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU | HSW \nRegister online. \nPresented in collaboration with Rockfon.
