SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn - Serviceablity: The Softer Side of Structural Engineering
DESCRIPTION:AIA Triangle Small Firm Roundtable Lunch & Learn  \nSponsored by \n \nServiceability: The Softer Side of Structural Engineering (1LU) \nOctober 3 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (Lunch begins at 11:30 am) \nCenter for Architecture & Design \n14 E Peace Street | Raleigh  \nAIA Members & AIA Triangle Partners: $0 | Non Members: $30 \nThere is more to Structural Engineering than just adhering to code requirements! Serviceability is the criteria you design for that’s not quite code required but has everything to do with what the building feels like to the user. It also affects the performance of the building with the exterior façade or how it holds up over time. Knowing how to communicate what impact serviceability has on the budget and occupants of the building to the owner is key to a successful project. We’re going to walk you through what the different serviceability components are\, how they impact the design\, and how to communicate these concerns to the owner to make the most informed decisions about the structural system. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nParticipants will be able to identify different serviceability components based on the occupancy of the building to determine what’s applicable to the design.\nParticipants will be able to communicate the different serviceability components to the owner and how they affect the user experience and performance of the building over time.\nParticipants will be able to determine how the serviceability criteria affects the design of the building and how that will affect the budget.\nParticipants will be able to determine what serviceability components to incorporate into the project design based on the project budget\, user experience\, performance of the building\, and feedback from the owner.\n\nPRESENTED BY: \nAnna Lynch\, PE \nAs CEO of Lynch Mykins\, Anna leads with a clear mission\, commitment to hard work and strong dedication to client service excellence. Over the past 14 years\, she has served as a successful project manager and engineer in practically all public- and private-market sectors. \nAnna has always had a creative side\, and she first started developing her interest in art at age 5. The best part of her job is working with clients to create buildings that truly speak to their visions. One of her favorite projects was the polar bear exhibit at the North Carolina Zoo. Everyone she worked with at the zoo was so passionate about helping animals\, and the exhibit offered the unique opportunity to learn more about polar bears and the best possible environment for their wellbeing. \nCollette Ramirez\, PE \nCollette has been helping bring architectural visions to life through structural engineering since 2007. She is passionate about the collaborative process and the thrill of first designing a building on paper\, to then seeing it become part of the built environment. Her diverse portfolio is filled with projects of different sizes and structural systems. Although she loves all of her projects\, she especially enjoys working on student centers because they have so many different structural components and are usually the focal points of a campus. \nWhile not busy working on her projects you can find Collette spending time with her family\, ideally at the beach. She loves learning about new wines while traveling. Her favorite travel destinations are Florence\, Italy and anywhere in the Caribbean.

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn - Deaf Architects and Blind Acousticians - Acoustics! A Master Class
DESCRIPTION:AIA Triangle Small Firm Roundtable Lunch & Learn  \nSponsored by \n \nDeaf Architects and Blind Acousticians – Acoustics! A Master Class  \nSeptember 19 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (Lunch begins at 11:30 am) \nCenter for Architecture and Design \n14 E. Peace Street | Raleigh\, NC \n1 CE credit pending approval \nIn our multidimensional world\, why does sound take a second or third seat to vision? We can have both equally!  Building on the book “Deaf Architects and Blind Acousticians” by Robert Apfel\, this course explores how sound stirs the heart and soothes the soul and the impact of not addressing sound in the design of a space.  To help participants better understand the impact of sound over vision in their everyday lives\, we will walk through different scenarios such as sitting in a room with the lights out and listening as your imagination paints a picture in your mind. Then\, think about sitting in the same room with the lights on and your best ear plugs in. With your ears\, you still experience your surrounding environment\, but with just your eyes\, you are limited to only what you see in front of you. Another example would be strolling through the woods where you can see what is ahead and\, in your peripherals\, but having no idea about what or who might be sneaking up behind you. This all ties together the concept that a building can look iconic or even inspirational in photos or on paper\, however\, the human experience can easily be tarnished or enhanced based on the building’s acoustical environment. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nParticipants will differentiate and measure background noise to help gain a better understanding of the impact of sound over vision in everyday lives of individuals\nParticipants will assess and calculate reverberation time to determine if negatively impacts individuals\nParticipants will discover the impact of not addressing sound as part of the design of a space and how it impacts how it affects individuals in the environment\nParticipants will discover how to design based on the understanding of the impact sound has over vision in their everyday lives.\n\nPRESENTED BY \nSteven J. Thorburn\, PE\, LEED\, AP\, CTS-D\, CTS-I \nSteve Thorburn is the founder of Thorburn Associates and has been involved with over 3\,000 different projects. \nHis is active in projects that require both acoustical engineering and technology system design services. His dual degrees from Michigan Technology University in theatre design and electrical engineering enable him to coordinate technical requirements involved in the construction bid process with practical issues required by the end-users. \nHis projects have included performing arts centers\, recording facilities\, entertainment facilities\, presentation and conference facilities\, government and university buildings\, film and video studios\, luxury hotels\, libraries\, churches\, and medical facilities.

We’re going to walk you through what the different serviceability components are\, how they impact the design\, and how to communicate these concerns to the owner to make the most informed decisions about the structural system. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nParticipants will be able to identify different serviceability components based on the occupancy of the building to determine what’s applicable to the design.\nParticipants will be able to communicate the different serviceability components to the owner and how they affect the user experience and performance of the building over time.\nParticipants will be able to determine how the serviceability criteria affects the design of the building and how that will affect the budget.\nParticipants will be able to determine what serviceability components to incorporate into the project design based on the project budget\, user experience\, performance of the building\, and feedback from the owner.\n\nPRESENTED BY: \nDave Mykins \nAs president of Lynch Mykins\, Dave oversees engineering and client services for all of the firm’s locations. When he was a child\, two people inspired him to become an engineer. The first was his stepfather\, who was a civil engineer\, woodcarver and inventor. The second was Uncle Bill\, a civil engineer on the TV show Family Affair\, who designed bridges all over the world. Now with more than 30 years in the analysis and design of structures\, Dave’s impressive range of experience covers almost every building construction type. \nCollette Ramirez\, PE \nCollette has been helping bring architectural visions to life through structural engineering since 2007. She is passionate about the collaborative process and the thrill of first designing a building on paper\, to then seeing it become part of the built environment. Her diverse portfolio is filled with projects of different sizes and structural systems. Although she loves all of her projects\, she especially enjoys working on student centers because they have so many different structural components and are usually the focal points of a campus. \nWhile not busy working on her projects you can find Collette spending time with her family\, ideally at the beach. She loves learning about new wines while traveling. Her favorite travel destinations are Florence\, Italy and anywhere in the Caribbean.

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn - Specifying Treated Engineered Wood Siding
DESCRIPTION:AIA Triangle Small Firm Roundtable \nLunch & Learn Program Sponsored by  \n \nSpecifying Treated Engineered Wood Siding (1HSW) \nJune 20 | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm (Lunch begins at 11:30 am) \nCenter for Architecture and Design | 14 E Peace Street | Raleigh \n  \nAIA Members & AIA Triangle Annual Partners (Sponsors): $0 \nNon Members: $30 \n  \nPROGRAM \nThis course will provide a survey of the most common siding and trim cladding options for building construction\, including in-depth exploration of treated engineered wood siding. This learning unit will identify the pros and cons of each cladding option and will also explore the environmental impacts of each throughout tits life cycle. In addition\, this course will showcase aesthetic options for many popular design types. Finally\, this session will explore ways in which treated engineered wood siding can contribute to earing points or meeting standards of leading green building certification programs. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nParticipants will discover TEWS and discuss its history\, how it is made\, why it is sustainable\, and how it can help builders/architects obtain LEED points.\nParticipants will understand the flexibility with TEWS and custom solutions that can be created\, including cladding assemblies rated to meet fire codes.\nParticipants will assess multi-family and light commercial construction types for which treated engineered wood siding as well as for residential applications and how TEWS is a cladding option and review the major exterior cladding options available for these applications.\nParticipants will discuss how to achieve aesthetic\, durability and weather requirements using TEWS in multi-family and light commercial construction projects.\n\n  \nPRESENTED BY: \nSharon Roscher \nLP Building Solutions\, Southeast Regional Architectural Manager \nSharon is the Southeast Region Architectural Manager for LP Building Solutions. Sharon has been an active member and corporate partner of various AIA chapters throughout the United States for the past twenty years. She has collaborated closely with commercial and residential architects to better understand the needs of the industry and her eagerness to be a well-informed resource for architects has strengthened her relationships within the industry.
