SUMMARY:HXD Week: Africatown: Monument and Wound
DESCRIPTION:“Africatown: Monument and Wound — Student Proposals for Remembrance and Repair\,” would present a curated exhibition and short public talk based on student work from my senior Interior Architecture capstone studio at the University of Houston. The session begins from the premise that Africatown is both a monument to survival and an ongoing site of rupture\, where design must engage memory not as a completed narrative\, but as an active condition. Founded by survivors of the Clotilda\, the last known slave ship to reach American shores\, Africatown carries a history shaped by an illegal voyage\, deliberate erasure\, oral tradition\, and ongoing environmental and industrial pressures. The studio\, Africatown: Remembrance and Repair\, asks students to design a floating interpretive installation that responds to this layered history and contemporary context. For HXD\, the session would combine a brief introductory talk with a guided walkthrough of student drawings\, models\, and visual research. Students would participate as presenters\, contributing to a broader conversation about memory\, repair\, environmental justice\, and interior architecture. \nAIA Credit: 1.0 HSW \nLight bites and beverages will be provided. \nPresenter: \nSheryl Tucker de Vazquez\nAssociate Professor\nUniversity of Houston Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design\nInterior Architecture \n\n\n\n\nSheryl Tucker de Vazquez is an architect\, educator\, and Associate Professor at the University of Houston Gerald D.

SUMMARY:HXD Week: The Power of Brain Health in Workplace Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:In an era where productivity\, innovation\, and resilience are the keys to success\, the state of our brains\, our cognitive function\, mental clarity\, and emotional well-being play a crucial role in how we perform at work. Yet\, in the hustle of deadlines\, meetings\, and constant digital demands\, we often neglect the very organ that drives our success: the brain. What if we told you that small\, science-backed changes in your daily routine could boost your focus\, reduce stress\, and enhance overall job satisfaction? Imagine a workplace where mental fatigue is minimized\, creativity flows naturally\, and employees thrive\, not just survive. This session will dive into a topic that affects every aspect of our professional and personal lives: brain health and workplace wellbeing. Building on the research shared by one of the facilitators at the United Nations European Brain Health Summit\, we’ll explore the neuroscience behind optimal brain health\, practical strategies to enhance cognitive function\, and how organizations can design and foster an environment that supports mental well-being. By the end\, the audience will have actionable insights & sited examples to not only improve their own performance but also contribute to a healthier\, more productive workplace. \nAIA credit: 1.0 HSW/LU \nPresenter:\n Julie Gauthier\, IIDA\, RID\, LEED AP\nAssociate Principal\, Workplace\, Houston\nPerkins&Will \nWorkplace Practice Lead at the Houston Studio of Perkins&Will\, Julie embraces beauty and function in all aspects of her role as an interior designer.

SUMMARY:HXD Week: Beyond the Buzz
DESCRIPTION:Beyond the Buzz: What Design Week Reveals About the Future of Interior Architecture \nEvery year\, Chicago Design Days and NeoCon introduce hundreds of new furniture products\, materials\, finishes\, and workplace design concepts. But which innovations represent meaningful shifts in interior architecture—and which are simply this year’s aesthetic trends? This session examines key observations from Chicago Design Week through three lenses: ephemeral trends\, enduring shifts\, and emerging innovations. Participants will explore how circular design principles are reshaping furniture planning and specification\, how neuroinclusive design is influencing occupant well-being\, and how manufacturers are responding to evolving expectations around sustainability\, flexibility\, material transparency\, and human-centered design. Rather than showcasing the latest products\, this course provides architects and designers with a practical framework for evaluating furniture and interior design innovations\, helping them distinguish what’s new from what’s next—and determine which ideas will have lasting impact on the health\, safety\, welfare\, and performance of the built environment. \nAIA Credit: 1.0 LU|HSW \nAbout the presenters: \n\n \n\n\n\n\nCaryn Ogier\, AIA\, RID\, LEED AP\, PMP  \nKimiko Designs\nDirector of Furniture Planning \nis the Director of Furniture Planning at Kimiko Designs\, where she helps clients align furniture strategy with business goals\, user needs\, and long-term sustainability.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime Learning (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Lunchtime Learning sponsored by the Committee on the Environment (COTE)\n  \nFirst Safe\, then Circular: optimizing material health with Cradle to Cradle Certified®\nIf you are being asked to evaluate the material health of products and aren’t sure where to start\, this session is for you! We’ll dive into the basics of material health for designers\, including major classes of chemicals of concern\, chemical assessments\, and how designers can use certifications as they evaluate products. This presentation details the methodology and requirements for the Cradle to Cradle Certified® products program and how designers can use it to specify materials that are healthy in a project and across a supply chain. We’ll explore how Cradle to Cradle Certified®\, as a fully digitized program\, makes it easy for designers to find reliable material health information to deliver meaningful sustainability benefits on every project. \n  \nSpeaker: Ren DeCherney\, Director of Built Environment \n \nRen is a licensed interior designer who uses her first-hand experience of the complexities of the building industry to help designers and manufacturers translate their sustainability pledges into reality. \nPrior to joining the Institute as Director of Built Environment\, she worked in Portland as a designer\, where she took her firm PVC-free\, making them the first firm in Portland to make such a commitment. She was then the Director of Industry Transparency at Source\, a digital materials platform\, where she synthesized design team needs and industry trends to integrate sustainability seamlessly into the design process. This included building various user tools\, growing strategic partnerships\, and developing all of the sustainability filters on the platform. \nShe then worked at the International Living Future Institute\, overseeing the Declare and Living Product Challenge programs. There she worked with both designers and manufacturers to understand the current market incentives for sustainable practices and how to implement sustainability strategy into everyday practices. \n  \nAIA Credit: 1.0 HSW \nGBCI Credit: self-report \n
