Too often AIA members approach achieving Fellowship at the end of a significant phase of their career. The result is the demographic composition of the College of Fellows remains predominantly older, white males. These sessions seek to elevate diversity in the College’s ranks by teaching young and mid-career architects to reverse engineer their path to Fellowship using the AIA’s Sample Application, a specialized outline, storytelling techniques, and writing basics to define and amplify their voices and accomplishments. This method advances meaning and intention in attendees’ career paths and, ultimately, will bring younger and more diverse professionals to advancing the mission and leadership of the College of Fellows and its grant funding activities.

Mapping a career around AIA Fellowship provides a path to positively impact others and elevate the value, potential and reach of the many career paths architects take. Attendees will gain inspiration on finding time for introspection, planning and preparation to explore, define and elevate meaning in practice.

Learning Objectives

  • Gain detailed understanding of AIA Fellowship & the process of submission.
  • Learn about the value of AIA Fellowship for the advancement of individuals and their work.
  • Acquire skills to develop storylines and narratives to capture career milestones and projects.
  • Take-away resources on story structure and guidelines for better professional writing

Embodied Carbon 101: Process + Firm Culture

Learn how to integrate sustainability work into your firm’s standard practices and procedures.

In order to make true progress toward carbon reduction, carbon-thoughtful design must be part of the AEC industry’s standards and culture, instead of approached on a project-by-project basis. Hear from sustainability leaders representing a range of practices, including architecture, engineering and consulting, construction, and design/build firms who share the vision and infrastructure of their own firms’ sustainability and embodied carbon practice, and elaborate on how they arrived at a place where sustainable design and construction is built into their firms’ cultures. These leaders identify barriers to adopting carbon-thoughtful design and strategies for breaking down those barriers, including leveraging existing cultural and industry structures (for example: the AIA 2030 Commitment) and strengthening the connections between the existing values of firm leadership (for example: operational energy reduction; for example: materials and occupant health) and carbon reduction.

Embodied Carbon 101: Making the Case

Learn how to speak with clients and collaborators about embodied carbon to demonstrate the value of and pathways to reducing its impacts.

Addressing embodied carbon in one’s practice requires strategy, communication, and collaboration. This course addresses how AEC practitioners can speak with clients and collaborators about embodied carbon to demonstrate the value of reducing embodied carbon and to provide pathways to reduce its impacts in projects and the environment. Learners will hear from sustainability professionals whose practices represent traditional architectural firms, large engineering and consulting firms, and small design/build practices who share approaches to reducing embodied carbon in cooperation with clients, including: managing client choices by selecting and presenting low embodied carbon materials and designs; marketing and external communications; making the economic case for use of low embodied carbon materials and designs; drawing parallels between embodied carbon and materials and occupant health; and developing mutual goals and values with clients and project teams from the early stages of a project.
