SUMMARY:The Architecture Firm Maturity Index: A Roadmap to Sustainable Growth
DESCRIPTION:Scroll down to view the video.\nIs your architecture firm operating at peak efficiency\, or are you constantly putting out fires? Many firms struggle with inconsistent business development\, project bottlenecks\, financial uncertainty\, and disorganized operations—often without realizing the root cause is a lack of business maturity. \nIn this 60-minute webinar\, Founder of The Well-Designed Firm Steve Burns\, FAIA\, will walk you through a structured Maturity Index to help you assess your firm’s strengths and weaknesses across six critical areas: Winning Work\, Project Management\, Client Experience\, Finances\, Billing\, and Operations. You’ll gain a clear understanding of where your firm stands today and\, more importantly\, the specific steps you can take to level up your business processes\, improve efficiency\, and drive sustainable profitability. \nWe’ll explore practical\, real-world strategies for moving from reactive to proactive firm management\, ensuring you’re not just delivering great designs\, but also running a thriving\, resilient business. Whether you’re a principal\, partner\, or senior leader in an architecture firm\, this session will equip you with the actionable insights needed to build a more predictable\, scalable\, and profitable practice. \nFREE registration for this webinar\, brought to you by BQE Software\, will close at 12:00 pm PT on Thursday\, May 1\, 2025. \nPRESENTER:\nSteve Burns\, FAIA | Founder | The Well-Designed Firm

SUMMARY:ARE/CSE Statewide Study Hub: PcM & PjM
DESCRIPTION:Study Hub is AIA California’s pathway for emerging professionals to study and pursue licensure. These statewide ARE study sessions and virtual study groups serve as a hub for education\, connection\, and community. This portal does not replace other study materials or resources\, rather it supplements them\, serving as a network and allowing for collaboration between EPs and AIA professionals across California. \nThis year\, we’re streamlining your study experience by grouping commonly paired exams together. \nPractice Management (PcM) focuses on the management of architectural practice\, including professional ethics\, fiduciary responsibilities\, and the regulations governing the practice of architecture. \nProject Management (PjM) focuses on the management of architectural projects\, including organizing principles\, contract management\, and consultant management. You should be able to demonstrate an understanding of and abilities in quality control\, project team configuration\, and project scheduling. \nHost: Kevin Griendling / AIA East Bay \nInterested in joining our hub where you can ask questions\, connect with other members and access resources?

SUMMARY:Architecture At Zero - Design Solutions for School Decarbonization
DESCRIPTION:This session qualifies for 1 LU/HSW\, 1hr ZNCD MCE and NEW – GBCI Credit for self-reporting! (pending approval\, live webinar attendees only). \nRegistration for this webinar will close at 10am PT on Wednesday\, May 14\, 2025. Zoom links will be sent no later than 10:30am the day of. \nK-12 school buildings\, whether new or existing\, carry a unique set of decarbonization challenges. The 2024 Architecture at Zero Design Competition directed participants to integrate themes of decarbonization\, resilience\, and equity in the design of a new building for Griffith STEAM Magnet Middle School in East Los Angeles\, replacing a suite of aging portable buildings on campus. Entrants were required to develop a comprehensive site plan incorporating detailed performance analysis\, renewable energy\, and carbon reduction strategies. Participants also demonstrated how their designs would enhance resilience through robust climate adaptation strategies\, and to promote equity within the community. \nThis webinar offers an exploration of innovative architectural solutions\, conveying insight into how the competition’s winning entries were developed and what were some of the lessons learned throughout the process. \nSpeakers:\n\nDave Intner\, AIA | Architect & Certified Energy Manager\, Southern California Edison\nCharlie Boyd | Architect & Studio Manager\, Design Draw Build\nXin Gao | Architect & Team Leader\, McMillan Pazdan Smith Architecture\nJian Huang | Project Architect\, Designer\, Goodwyn Mills Cawood (GMC)\nBelina Nguyen | Student\, California State Polytechnic University Pomona\nStephanie Perez-Ocaranza | Student\, California State Polytechnic University Pomona

SUMMARY:Fire Response Session 5 | Wildfire Prepared Home Program: Improving Property Survivability and Insurability
DESCRIPTION:This session qualifies for 1.5 LU/HSW (live webinar attendees only). \nFREE registration for this webinar will close at 12pm PT on Wednesday\, May 28\, 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. \nIBHS is a non-profit research organization has spent years researching material and component vulnerabilities\, wind-driven ember ignitions\, and wind-driven building-to-building fire spread. Insights from these experiments have informed the Wildfire Prepared Home Program – a designation certification program that outlines a system of actions homeowners can take at the parcel-level to address a property’s roof\, building features\, and defensible space to meaningfully reduce its risk to wildfire ignition. \nThis session will walk attendees through the science conducted at IBHS’ Research Center in South Carolina\, along with post-disaster field investigations\, that have collectively identified the most vulnerable areas around the home that must be addressed. IBHS will discuss the two Wildfire Prepared Home designation level requirements and how each addresses ignitions from embers\, radiant heat\, and direct flame contact. IBHS is actively engaged in improving community-scale wildfire resilience through its recently launched Wildfire Prepared Neighborhood standard. This neighborhood-level operational framework includes the science-backed requirements of its Home-level program and incorporates additional requirements to address structure density\, the presence of connective fuels\, and building materials – the three pillars of wildfire conflagration. \nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Anne Cope | Chief Engineer\, IBHS\n\nRoy Wright | President and CEO\, IBHS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick to view the Full Presentation
