SUMMARY:Resilience and the Evolving Standard of Care Series Part 2: New Standard of Care Includes Integrated Resilience Design
DESCRIPTION:This session qualifies for 1.5 LU/HSW (live webinar attendees only). \nDon’t miss your chance to attend! Registration closes at 10am\, Wednesday\, January 29. You should receive your Zoom confirmation link no later than 10:30am the day of.  \nArchitects should be aware of changes in the industry standard of care\, the role of codes and standards\, and how courts view an architect’s responsibility in the context of worsening weather conditions. \nIf design professionals aren’t considering future climate conditions when designing structures and communities\, then who will? “If not you\, who” directs attention to the intersection of strategies for mitigation of severe climate occurrences\, evolving legal standards\, and the shifting industry standard of care. The effects of severe climate events on design professionals\, their clients\, construction companies\, and corporations are drivers of resiliency and risk management strategies to reduce exposure\, protect property\, and income streams of clients. \nIn this second installment of the Resilience and the Evolving Standard of Care series\, presenters will describe through case studies resilient design strategies employed\, discuss the exemplary features of the various projects\, and consider problems encountered and lessons learned that can help other practitioners to achieve similar levels of performance in their own projects. \nSpeakers: \n\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Tim Kohut\, AIA | Director of Sustainable Design\, National Community Renaissance\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Rives T.

SUMMARY:Resilience and the Evolving Standard of Care Part 3: Legal Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Scroll down to view the webinar video. \nThis session qualifies for 1.5 LU/HSW (live webinar attendees only). \nDon’t miss your chance to attend! Registration closes at 10am\, Wednesday\, February 19. You should receive your Zoom confirmation link no later than 10:30am the day of.  \nArchitects should be aware of changes in the industry standard of care\, the role of codes and standards\, and how courts view an architect’s responsibility in the context of worsening weather conditions. \nIf design professionals aren’t considering future climate conditions when designing structures and communities\, then who will? “If not you\, who” directs attention to the intersection of strategies for mitigation of severe climate occurrences\, evolving legal standards\, and the shifting industry standard of care. The effects of severe climate events on design professionals\, their clients\, construction companies\, and corporations are drivers of resiliency and risk management strategies to reduce exposure\, protect property\, and income streams of clients. \nIn the final installment of the Resilience and the Evolving Standard of Care series\, an expert panel will begin with a review of projections for future climate conditions\, followed by consideration of how these are shaping the evolving industry standard of care. Next will be a review of past U.S. case law regarding the standard of care and the implications of each case. This will be followed by an examination of California specific case law\, discussion of how these cases have shaped liability for practitioners in the state\, and examples of good contract language and protections to manage risk. The program will conclude with examples from an architectural firm on how its practice integrated resilience design\, how to discuss climate risks with clients\, and how to manages risk in contract language. \nSpeakers: \n\n\n\n\nSammy Shams\, AIA NCARB\, LEED AP BD+C\, WELL AP\, Fitwel Ambassador\, LFA | Resilience\, Sustainability & Building Performance\, HKS\n\nAmanda Barton\, AIA\, RID\, NCARB\, LEED AP BD+C\, WELL AP | Project Designer & Associate\, HKS\n\nYvonne Castillo\, Esq. | Senior Vice President of Risk Management at Victor US\n\n\n\nBrian K.

SUMMARY:Fire Response Session 4 | “Nothing About Us\, Without Us\, Is for Us” - Altadena\, from the Ground Up.
DESCRIPTION:Scroll down to view the video. \nThis session qualifies for 1 LU/HSW (live webinar attendees only) \nFREE registration for this webinar will close at 12pm PT on Wednesday\, April 23\, 2025. \nThe AIA in CALIFORNIA is responding to the recent southern California fires with a unified plan for response\, recovery and rebuilding for communities that were devastated by the disaster. This series of sessions will help the architectural profession understand the rapidly changing landscape\, the local issues facing communities\, and strategies for resilient design and disaster response; the AIA in California is connecting policy makers\, government officials\, and practitioners uniting architects in building a more just\, equitable\, and resilient future. \nR. Steven Lewis\, FAIA\, NOMAC in conversation with Charles T. Bryant\, AIA\, NOMA\, a Past President of AIA Pasadena & Foothill.\n \nSince the first days of the disastrous fires\, Southern Californians have advocated that recovery and rebuild efforts respect the historically Black neighborhood of Altadena. This conversation is an opportunity to hear perspectives and experience directly from two prominent Altadena architects–one who lost his home in the fire\, one whose home remains. \nArchitects are passionate about supporting residents of Altadena–where\, in 2023\, home ownership among Black Residents was nearly double the national average–but how should they approach fire-recovery in historically Black neighborhoods? \n“Don’t come with the answer\, lead with the question and then… listen\,” says Steven Lewis\, FAIA\, NOMAC. \nLewis has achieved national prominence by entwining three critical areas of practice. He co-owned the architecture firm\, RAW International and since leaving after 20 years\, he has gone on to hold leadership positions at a number of successful firms; he is a tireless advocate for justice and equity for people and communities of color; and\, his achievements include having served as National President of NOMA\, received the prestigious Whitney M. Young\, Jr. service award from the AIA\, and served Detroit residents as the Urban Design Director within the City’s planning & development department. \nThis conversation sees Lewis return to his own neighborhood\, Altadena\, bringing with him the words spoken in solidarity with community members in Detroit: “Nothing without us\, about us\, is for us” and seeking counsel\, expertise\, and the thoughts of a fellow prominent Altadena architect Charles T. Bryant\, AIA\, NOMA. \nA former President of AIA Pasadena & Foothill\, Bryant co-owns Masbuild Design Solutions\, Inc.\, an award winning architecture\, interiors and planning firm\, established in 1996. His more than forty years of experience in the design and construction industry includes Principal Architect for institutional\, multi-family residential and commercial projects for the HUD\, the Navy and the Air Force; internationally for the US State Department; and for school districts throughout the nation. Prior to co-founding Masbuild Design Solutions\, he led the award-winning firm Charles T. Bryant & Associates. Mr. Bryant has long provided services to underserved and marginalized communities\, including communities of color\, senior citizens\, veterans\, and those facing housing insecurity. \nSteven Lewis\, FAIA\, NOMAC\nCharles T.

SUMMARY:Act Now - Permit Streamlining: Resources and Strategy to Advocate for Local Reform
DESCRIPTION:This is an AIA members only session.\nQualifies for 1.5 LU  (currently pending approval; live webinar attendees only). \nRegistration for this webinar will close at 10am PT on Wednesday\, April 30\, 2025. Zoom registration links will be sent no later than 10:30am the day of the webinar.  \nWith project delivery increasing in complexity\, everyone in the design and construction industry is seeking greater efficiency and predictability. This need for streamlining has increasingly focused on the permitting process\, where unnecessary and unexpected delays can have a huge impact on costs\, timeline\, and project outcomes. \nWhile there are many opportunities for improvement and examples of effective streamlining\, the nuances of circumstances such as jurisdiction\, project type\, project constraints and the many other variables can make progress in permit streamlining daunting. Where there is agreement is that current systemic conditions must improve. \nChanges in the permitting process require focus\, persistence\, and a collaborative approach\, and it’s usually very helpful to know that those changes do not have to start from scratch. With basic principles and steps forward clearly outlined and supported by case studies and illustrative examples of successful initiatives from throughout the country\, this session will give you and your local AIA component a potential roadmap to navigate change in your community. It will also help debunk myths about permit streamlining that often create barriers to getting started\, as well as offer resources that can help in assembling an effective team to plan and advocate for meaningful progress. \nSpeakers: \nMichael Malinowski\, FAIA | Code and Regulatory Consultant with AIA CA\, President: Applied Architecture Inc and Streamline Institute Inc \n\nVideo access available to AIA members only.
