SUMMARY:Gulf Coast Green
DESCRIPTION:  \nCYCLE: Where Ends Become Beginnings\nCYCLE is an invitation to explore the dynamic processes that shape our built and natural environments along the Gulf Coast through patterns of renewal\, transformation\, and continuity. From the material life cycles of construction to the seasonal rhythms of ecological systems\, this conference seeks to foreground design approaches that embrace stewardship\, circularity\, resilience\, and adaptation. CYCLE challenges practitioners to reconsider linear modes of development and instead implement practical strategies of stewardship\, reuse\, regeneration\, and resilience—approaches that call for ownership\, responsibility\, and long-term commitment in responding to climate change\, cultural memory\, and the evolving needs of communities. \nHow can design and planning transform waste into resources\, extend the life of materials\, and support ecosystems and communities that thrive in balance? How might circular thinking also honor cultural memory while addressing climate change and the evolving needs of our region? \nClick here for more information including featured speakers and schedule \nAIA & ASLA Credit: Earn up to 6.5 HSW CEUs \n  \nLocation: The Ismaili Center | Houston\, 2323 Allen Pkwy\, Houston\, TX \nParking: Complimentary visitor parking is available onsite.

SUMMARY:Equity Series Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nJoin us for a group discussion on supporting health at work\, led by Carrie Hirdes\, followed by a session of desk-format meditation and sound healing by local yogi Lesley Monroy \nWomen’s health challenges are often treated as private issues\, limiting transparency\, empathy\, and meaningful support. The 2026 Equity Series brings these experiences to the forefront to highlight how individuals and leaders can reshape workplaces to better reflect the realities of women’s lives. \nThis workshop aims to help participants in grounding their lived experiences within the broader context of workplace wellbeing and equipping attendees with practices that provide relief during times of high-stress. \nPart I \nChaplain Carrie Hirdes (Memorial Hermann Hospital) will lead participants to discuss current hot topics such as burnout\, unconscious biases\, and the responsibilities businesses and leaders have to the health of their employees. In addition\, the group will discuss their individual perspectives and what responsibilities we have to ourselves to maintain personal health and goals. \nPart II \nLesley Monroy will guide participants through one hour of a combination of sound healing and meditation that focuses on personal reflection. This session will be a “desk-format” meditation that provides an avenue to acknowledge anxiety and reduce mental noise in a proactive way. \n\n\n\n\nLESLEY MONROY – Yoga Teacher \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYoga has been an integral part of my life for over two decades\, and as I transitioned from practitioner to instructor over the past six years\, I have maintained my commitment as a lifelong student of this discipline. I am grateful to hold three yoga certifications and am eagerly pursuing further education to enhance my ability to serve you better. My approach is centered on fostering deep\, trusting relationships with my students\, providing a safe space where transformation can occur. This trust enables us to explore the physical and emotional benefits of yoga together\, helping each individual feel more connected\, loved\, and grounded. \nOutside of the studio\, my life is joyfully simple\, shared with my husband and three beloved pets. I am an avid camper and an enthusiastic plant caretaker\, with aspirations to explore all of America’s national parks. \nAIA Credit: 2.0 LU \n\n\n\nOnline registration closes Wednesday\, March 4\, end of day\nA minimum of 3 days’ notice is required to receive a full refund if you need to cancel your reservation.  Registration is transferable.\nSpace is limited\n\n\n\n  \n  \nTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! \nEquity Panel Discussion & Workshop \n                                                                     \nInterested in Sponsorship? \nPlease consider becoming a sponsor of the Equity Series Panel Discussion & Workshop.

SUMMARY:Architectural Photography Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join architecture photographers Mariella and Luis Ayala\, AIA for this weekend workshop exploring the art and craft of capturing the built environment.  Mariella and Luis are sought out by architects across the state for their gift at showing a building in its best possible light. Their work is praised for bringing projects to life in a brilliant way\, and for capturing the emotional qualities — the story\, spirit\, and soul — of the spaces they help to document. Their work has been published in numerous magazines and books and recently bestowed with the Texas Society of Architects Honors Award for photography. Visit their website at ayalavargas.com \nThey are offering a weekend photographic workshop starting Friday\, November 14 extending through Sunday\, November 16.

Mariella and Luis will work one-on-one with participants photographing buildings and processing these images later. \n  \n\n\nItinerary\n\n\n\n\nThis itinerary is subject to change due to weather\, local conditions\, and other factors. \n\n\nFriday\, November 14: 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM (ArCH Center) \nSaturday\, November 15: 8:00 AM – 6:30 PM \n\nLocation includes residential restoration project Old Sixth Ward & MFAH (Interior & Exterior at dusk)\n\nSunday\, November 16: 8:00 AM – noon (ArCH Center) \n  \nAIA Credit: 12 AIA LU \n  \n\nGet individualized attention in this small group format; workshop is limited to 14 participants.\nLearn post-processing techniques for architecture\nGear needed: SLR Camera\, interchangeable lens and tripod\nIncluded: entry fee to MFAH\, Saturday lunch and Sunday pastries/fruit/coffee\nAdvanced registration required.  Onsite registration is not available.\nCancellation Policy: A minimum of 7 days’ (Nov. 7) notice is required to receive a full refund\n\n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Wood Rot Repair Workshop
