Practice Innovation Workshop Series
AIA Ohio’s Practice Innovation Workshop Series includes six different virtual sessions designed to explore new ways to practice and new technologies that enable us to create architecture differently. These panel discussions are designed to generate ideas that can be implemented directly into a practice or firm.
Workshop #1: Beyond AIA 2030 - Reducing Embodied Carbon
Date: Tuesday, September 21, 2021
Time: 12:00 - 1:30 PM
Credits: Approved for 1.5 LU/HSW
Building Materials and Construction represent a significant portion of annual global emissions (11%). By the year 2050, embodied carbon emissions and operational carbon emissions will be roughly equivalent. This session will arm you with information and tools to evaluate the products you are specifying and what alternatives may be available. From making more educated material choices to developing regenerative architecture, there are easy to use tools that can help us all deliver projects with a lower carbon footprint.

How 9/11 changed architecture and urban design forever
Security has been an integral part of metropolitan areas for millennia. From the ancient walls that surrounded Marrakesh and Munich to the barriers erected during “the Troubles” in Northern Ireland, the threat of urban violence has always been a reality for cities large and small. From a design perspective, though, the risks to city dwellers outside of wartime were hardly worth considering

Robert Ivy, FAIA, On His Decade of Leadership
At the end of 2021, Robert Ivy, FAIA, will say goodbye to the American Institute of Architects.
After a more than a decade of leadership, Ivy will retire as AIA’s executive vice president and chief executive officer. The organization he’s leaving behind is markedly different than the one he was called on to lead in February 2011: While the Great Recession and a global pandemic altered the world’s economic and cultural landscape, the members of an increasingly diverse profession came of age and found their voices on social issues big and small.

Former Walmart president reveals plans for 4400-billion Utopian city in the US desert
Billionaire and former Walmart president Marc Lore helped outline a plan for a $400 billion metropolis, tabbed "the new city in America," to be built in the desert if properly funded.
Lore's mission statement for the city of Telosa is to "create a more equitable and sustainable future" that can "become a blueprint of future generations." That's backed by a 150,000-acre design proposal with eco-friendly architecture, sustainable energy production, and a drought-resistant water system.
