Architecture can’t escape the current reality of volatile economic conditions, but watching AIA’s Managing Director of Research and Practice, Michele Russo’s economic forecast helps break down the the complex issues into practical reality and provided specific information for California markets. AIA CA hosted this Outlook on May 19 – and compiled this list of key takeaways from a diverse cross section of attendees.6 Things You Need to Know:There’s a brewing talent shortage that’ll require rethinking retention and recruitment practices, and the workplaceMaterials pricing, supply chain delays, and labor availability are major problems that influence project costs - a real and present danger for project sponsors’ ambitionsPandemic and post-pandemic stresses are creating better relationships within the AEC team; cooperation is emerging - and very desirableSensible Immigration policy could shore up construction trades dwindling labor poolPortions of the residential and non-residential market sectors are continuing to remain in high demandThe Architectural Billings Index is a unique predictor of where the market is going in the future. Currently, over half of billings are related to rehabilitation, renovation, and historic preservation and promises a robust market opportunity over the next few yearsWhether you’re running a firm or working in a firm, this information is important to everyone and well worth your time.Earn 1 LU for attending live.https://youtu.be/dm-j9q5oBuQ
When: May 25th, 2022 11:30am - 1pmUnits: 1.5 LU/HSWSpeakers:Robin Seidel, AIA | Resiliency Architect / Project Manager | Weston & SampsonKenneth J. Filarski FAIA, LEED FELLOW, LEED AP BD+C, SITES AP, AICP, CFM, SAP + AEER, NCARB | FILARSKI ARCHITECTURE + PLANNING + RESEARCHWhat is the architect’s role in resilient design? Our buildings and communities are vulnerable to a wide range of short- and long-term risks from climate change. Climate models show there will be more weather extremes, meaning California faces threats of sea level rise and both drought and periodic extreme rainfall events with the potential for flooding.These changes in climate patterns will have huge implications on existing buildings and how architects need to think about design and retrofit for increased resilience. This session will introduce architects to the factors they need to consider when designing for future riverine, precipitation, and coastal flooding conditions, and how architects can discuss the design and operational implications with their clients.https://youtu.be/4DWl_q17oPs Additional Resources Additional Resources PDF Presentation | Water, Resilient Design Outcomes Pt. 1 Design Approaches for Buildings At Risk of Flooding or Sea Level Rise (Watching video recordings of past webinars does not give the opportunity to receive any AIA LUs / CE credit.)
