This presentation will explore how geophysical methods can be utilized to reduce risk due to unknown conditions during site design. The use of geophysics in conjunction with invasive exploration can be a cost-effective means of providing substantially more information than that obtained with additional invasive methods.
In this program, we will be discussing how business owners can continue to attract and retain talent. We will address the ever changing tax landscape and will spend time on topical issues that are affecting most small businesses.
To create more equitable ideas, we need to create an inclusive design process with multiple and sometimes conflicting points of views. Our ever-evolving remote work situation is a potential danger to forcing our design process and ideas to become more siloed. Equitable access to design technology coupled with the intentional incorporation of virtual tools will help us bridge the creativity and collaboration gap caused by the physical separation of our teams.
Fall 2021 Joint Lecture Series featuring Ross Gay, Poet - The Book of Delights, Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude. McMillan Family Lecture - Online Lunch Reading
Attendees will receive information about how to properly detail Cast Stone for a variety of project types. Building movement and dead loads as a function of the design requirements for veneers are discussed. The proper use of anchors, types of mortar, sealant joints and kerfs on exterior veneer applications are also addressed in this informative session. Attendees will be able to understand appropriate specification of Cast Stone for architectural applications.
AIA Triangle Board of Directors Meeting
In order for architects to have the greatest impact on climate change, how we design for energy performance and what we specify for building materials will be critical for lowering operational and embodied carbon. Equally important will be how our buildings are designed to be resilient to withstand the increasing threats of extreme weather and survivability during severe weather events. This session will focus on the design process to create sustainable buildings that are not only energy efficient but also resilient and adaptable over time.
This course will review the importance of acoustics in architecture, discuss the fundamental principles of sound management, explore how to design interior spaces to maximize occupants’ comfort, and review emerging tools to solve for both sound and lighting. It will also focus on the standards that govern acoustic requirements for diverse applications.
Join us for a discussion about the role of women in construction in the Triangle with two powerhouses of the industry! This is a free program hosted by NAWIC Triangle Chapter, NC and AIA Triangle Women in Architecture
This program will explore the history of blasts and progressive collapse failures. Presentation will cover basic blast design and understanding GSA, VA and DOD requirements for health and safety. Participants will understand designing structures for blast protection to preserve the health and wellness of the buildings occupants. Other topics of will include understanding progressive collapse failures, understanding collapse mitigation, performance of construction materials, and materials used in blast projects.
