Join AIA North Carolina for a half-day Summer School program designed to help architects deepen their understanding of building performance, material impacts, and construction best practices. Brought to you in partnership with the Beauty of Block, this engaging program provides 4 HSW credits and includes lunch and networking with colleagues.
The morning begins with Danielle Mokris, Technical Director for the Southeast Region of the Beauty of Block Design Collective, who will lead two sessions exploring embodied carbon in concrete masonry. Through the Beauty of Block’s Embodied Carbon Series, Danielle will break down the environmental impact of concrete materials and explain why not all concrete is created equal. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of carbon sequestration, lifecycle assessment (LCA), and how CMU can play a role in reducing embodied carbon in building design.
The program continues with Derek Hodgin, PE, RBEC, CCCA, F-IIBEC, founder of Positive Friction Consulting, who brings nearly 30 years of experience as a forensic engineer and building enclosure expert. In his interactive session, “It’s All in the Details,” Derek will explore the often-overlooked decisions that can dramatically influence building durability, safety, and long-term performance. Drawing from real-world lessons learned throughout his career, he will share practical insights that architects can immediately apply to improve construction outcomes.
Together, these sessions provide a valuable blend of sustainability insight and practical construction knowledge, equipping architects with the tools to design buildings that are both environmentally responsible and built to last.

Explore the developments in forestry practices, supply and demand of wood consumption, and impact of forest ownership on industry and trade. We will discuss the importance of forest certification for environmental sustainability, including protection of wildlife, water quality and the conservation of biological diversity, and provide an overview of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). We will cover the benefits to our wellness and health of our forests, and how Chain of Custody procurement ensures wood products originate from sustainable forests. More benefits are revealed when comparing wood to steel and concrete, and looking at how carbon is sequestered long term. The program discusses forest fire prevention, wildlife preservation and how Sierra Pacific manages 2.4 million acres of forest as they grow trees from seed.
