SUMMARY:Biophilic Illusions
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we investigate our instinctive attraction and connection to nature\, identified as Biophilia\, as attendees explore the ways that our lives are dependently and beneficially intertwined with nature. Review research documenting the positive outcomes of natural environments on human health and explore the 14 patterns of Biophilic Design\, including how integrating nature’s attributes into architecture enlivens biophilic engagement. Examine optical illusions\, bi-sensory illusions of nature\, and research on sky illusions in relation to architectural design. Lastly\, explore the framework\, mechanics\, and outcomes for health of generating Cognitive Biophilia. \nPresented by Rebecca Clemens of Sky Factory.\n1.0 LU|HSW\, AIA\, USGBC\, and IDCEC credit offered. \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Governor's Summit on Equitable Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Shaping a more inclusive Commonwealth \nThe Governor’s Summit on Equitable Collaboration is hosted by the UVA Institute for Engagement & Negotiation in partnership with Governor Ralph Northam and his administration. This event is for all those who might be involved or interested in community engagement\, collaboration\, and equity – whether in health\, education\, natural resources\, or community development. We hope you all will attend this virtual event where people from across the Commonwealth will have an opportunity to learn about Equitable Collaboration\, to share their own tools\, and to discuss Virginia policy needs to advance Equitable Collaboration. \nIEN’s new Equitable Collaboration framework – itself the expression of decades of thinking and researching our field of practice and the discipline of conflict resolution – has been developed and challenged. These six elements – adaptive\, deliberative\, inclusive\, responsive\, trauma-informed\, and truth-seeking – guide how community conversations may be designed and conducted\, whether through a single meeting\, a community dialogue\, or a long-term collaborative change process. The Toolkit itself is a product of a robust engagement process. A diverse national advisory committee helped develop the structure and nature of the content for the Toolkit. It is available as an online resource and may be downloaded as a pdf at transformingcommunityspaces.org. \nSUMMIT GOALS: \n\nIntroduce and showcase the six principles for Equitable Collaboration.\nReview the growth and trajectory of collaboration in Virginia\, and its future needs to ensure equity.\nIllustrate the six principles for Equitable Collaboration through case studies in health\, education\, natural resources\, and community development.\nEnable participants to share resources around equitable collaboration approaches\, tools\, resources.\nEnable participant discussion and input for policy needs in Virginia to advance equitable collaboration.\n\nKEYNOTE SPEAKERS: \nRalph S. Northam\nGovernor of the Commonwealth of Virginia \nJanice Underwood\, PhD\nChief Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Officer\, Commonwealth of Virginia \nMamie Parker\, PhD\nDepartment of Wildlife Resources Board Member\, Former Head of Fisheries\, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Landscapes of Learning: The Heights Building
DESCRIPTION:A Panel Discussion with Bjarke Ingels Group\, Leo A. Daly\, Arlington Public Schools\, Silman\, and Gilbane \nJoin the AIA Northern Virginia Committee on Architecture for Education (CAE) and AIA Virginia at noon on Friday\, March 5\, 2021 for a virtual tour and panel discussion about the new Heights Building\, an Arlington Public School (APS) facility in Northern Virginia. \nThe structural masterpiece is inspired by the values and educational mission of APS and serves as a model example for innovative solutions to school design.

SUMMARY:Equity in the Built Environment: Improving Racial Equity through Greener Design
DESCRIPTION:Understand how architects across the U.S. are working to improve the environmental and social sustainability of communities by protecting neighborhoods from gentrification\, installing parks and public art exhibits in urban centers\, and creating state-of-the-art libraries in financially challenged neighborhoods. Antoine Bryant\, Assoc. AIA\, project manager and business development at the Houston office of Moody Nolan; Gabrielle Bullock\, FAIA\, a principal and the director of global diversity at Perkins&Will in Los Angeles; and Rico Quirindongo\, AIA\, formerly a principal at DLR Group\, now Deputy Director for City of Seattle Office of Planning and Community Development; discuss their work in these cities. Projects discussed include Midtown Public Square in Seattle; Destination Crenshaw in Los Angeles; and the Library Learning Center in Houston. \nImproving Racial Equity Through Greener Design is based on the American Institute of Architects’ Blueprint for Better campaign to transform the day-to-day practice of architecture to achieve a zero-carbon\, resilient\, healthy\, just\, and equitable built environment. \nThis program continues the National Building Museum’s Equity in the Built Environment series of conversations that focus on how buildings\, landscapes\, interiors\, and streets can be the cause of—and\, more important\, the cure for—social and racial disparities. \n\nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Optimized Acoustics
DESCRIPTION:Complying with the more stringent acoustic performance criteria in the standards\, guidelines\, and building rating systems has become more challenging in today’s predominantly larger and more open commercial interiors. This is in part due to trends towards more reflective floor materials\, fewer walls\, and an abundance of glass. Higher amounts of sound absorption are required to limit reverberation\, increase speech intelligibility and prevent widespread noise disturbances. This presentation will educate designers on achieving the required amount of noise control using high-performance\, modular\, acoustic ceilings. In locations where transmission of noise from one room into another needs to be prevented\, the use of ceilings alone as sound blockers\, for example when the demising wall stops at the ceiling level\, no longer complies with the standards\, guidelines and rating systems. This presentation will educate designers on blocking sound using walls and lightweight plenum barriers so that their designs comply not only with user expectations\, but also the higher sound isolation criteria in the acoustics standards and guidelines. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU | HSW \nRegister online. \nPresented in collaboration with Rockfon.

SUMMARY:Large Doors: How to Select the Right Door
DESCRIPTION:Offered by AIA Northern Virginia in partnership with T.W. Perry \nModern design trends are favoring larger openings\, and while this blank canvas offers the architect a wide-range of options\, it can also pose a challenge. Because of almost unlimited variations of different types\, styles\, and available options for large doors\, it is often more important that the architect understands how to make the selection process\, rather than which specific door to choose. The process for specifying should include client aesthetic expectations\, environmental conditions\, building performance\, and durability concerns. \nEarn 1 AIA LU|HSW \nRegister online. \nAIA Members: $0; Non-members: $10

SUMMARY:Fiske and Marie Kimball: Shaping Our Experience of Buildings and Objects
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies for an investigation of the many ways Fiske and Marie Kimball shaped our experience and understanding of art and architecture in the 20th century. From his pioneering publication Thomas Jefferson\, Architect in 1916 through his thirty-year connection with Monticello and position as director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, Fiske Kimball remained a powerful and influential voice in the arts. Dubbed “the dean of American architectural history\,” his scholarship established the rich legacy of the past while his criticism and involvement with public monuments guided design in the present. As a preservationist\, he played a critical role at Monticello\, Colonial Williamsburg\, Fairmount Park\, and numerous other historic sites; as the director of the Philadelphia Museum of Art (1925-55)\, he not only built the collection but also determined the display of the objects. Marie Kimball\, also a historian and prolific writer\, published widely and is most well known for her multi-volume biography of Thomas Jefferson; her publication Thomas Jefferson’s Cookbook (1941) provided updated recipes for modern audiences; and as the first curator of Monticello she had a seminal role in the display and interpretation of its objects. Each of the speakers in this conference will share with us a different facet of the contributions made by this “power couple” of the early twentieth century. \nRegister online.
