The American Institute of Architects just released Guides for Equitable Practice. Firm leaders and architects across the country can use these guides to take actionable steps to promote equity, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace and in the profession. If you are an AIA member, you can download the guides here: https://www.aia.org/r…/6076046-guides-for-equitable-practice.

The Guides will be available to the public early next year. It’s an honor to serve on the AIA’s Equity and the Future of Architecture (EQFA) committee, which led the efforts to make this important new resource. Congrats to the EQFA team on this first set of guides. Looking forward to the next round! #ALLinforNOMA #AccessLeadershipLegacy

Arguing with Brick Walls and Burning Buildings

I was asked to weigh in on an issue that has consumed much of my professional life and intellectual energy. Some of my thoughts on this are more well-documented than others, but all stem from a deep understanding of how architecture shapes our social reality.

Seminar/Workshop Proposal

All information and files must be uploaded at time
of submittal for entry to be complete.

* Required

Select one of the following course directories to advertise your course online here: http://www.aia.org/education/findcourses/index.html

Select a topic area most associated with the course you are submitting.

The course title should encompass the overall theme of the course and summarize what the attendee will learn in a few words.

The course description is required and should contain a brief overview of your course. A helpful tip if you do not have a course description is to pull it from the learning objectives.

Key Words are required and should be separated by commas. These key words should be related to your course and will be searchable by the public in the online course directory.

Specify if your course is a general learning unit (LU), HSW/LU, or HSW/SD/LU. To learn more about what topic areas qualify in these areas, please refer to the Provider Manual http://www.aia.org/aiaucmp/groups/aia/documents/pdf/aiab086456.pdf

Fill in the course learning units (LU). For your reference, the learning units are equal to the length of the course, so a one hour course would equal one learning unit.

Four learning objectives are required. For more information on creating learning objectives please visit http://www.aia.org/education/providers/AIAS076145
