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. The workshop will be a hands-on experience of photographing buildings and processing images digitally.

SUMMARY:Saving the Astrodome: The Journey Continues
DESCRIPTION:Photo Credit: Astrodome Conservancy\nWant to know more about what is happening to the Astrodome? Join us for a presentation by Beth Wiedower Jackson  Executive Director of the Astrodome Conservancy. \nThe Astrodome – the “8th Wonder of the World” – is the world’s first domed stadium and Houston’s iconic landmark. Opened in 1965\, it was revolutionary for its time in audacity\, design\, and engineering\, and was a symbol of Houston and America’s bravado. Home to the MLB Astros and the NFL Oilers\, as well as the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo\, the Astrodome was at the heart of Houston life for more than four decades. After losing its last permanent tenant in 2002 when the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo moved to the NRG Stadium and its closing in 2009\, the Dome almost faced the wrecking ball in 2013. The efforts of Beth Wiedower Jackson\, former National Trust staff and current Executive Director of the Astrodome Conservancy and several citizens changed the fate of the Dome. Since 2014 many ideas have been proposed for the reuse of the Dome. There are several constraints that make reuse of the Dome challenging\, such as the Astrodome’s location in the middle of NRG Park\, the large size of the structure itself\, the need to complement the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (HLSR) Texans activities in NRG Park\, and the desire to be financially sustainable while also benefiting the public. Beth will walk us through the  journey  to save the Dome and the challenges faced in implementing the most recent vision. \n\nThursday\, June 5\n5:30pm-7:30pm\nAIA Credit: 1.5 LU\nLight bites and drinks provided\n\n  \nConstruction Notice & Parking:  \nEffective June 2\, the Main Street project is entering Phase 1\, which will impact the west side of Main Street\, including a staging area along the 900 block of Commerce. Please plan accordingly when driving to the Architecture Center. Construction is expected to increase traffic congestion\, and a sold-out event will further impact parking availability in the area. \n

SUMMARY:River Oaks Theatre Tour
DESCRIPTION:The River Oaks Theatre is an historic movie theater built in 1939. It was an example of late-1930s Art Deco design. It was the last of the deluxe neighborhood movie theaters built by Interstate Theatre Corporation.  After closing its doors more than two years ago\, the historic River Oaks Theatre recently reopened with a newly renovated interior\, expansive food and drink menu and eclectic lineup of classic films and live performances.  The reopening comes after the theater shut its doors in 2021\, following failed lease negotiations. But nearly a year after the iconic theater closed\, Culinary Khancepts bought the property\, giving the beloved venue a new lease on life. Now\, after an extensive renovation effort\, the theater is rolling out the red carpet. \nJoin the Historic Resources Committee as we get a behind the scenes look at the restoration of the theater’s classic Art Deco architecture. \n\nApril 2\, 2025\n10am-11am\nAIA credit: 1.0 LU\n\n  \n

Individual security \nAIA Credit: 3 LU \nArchitects aren’t the lowest paid workers in the building industry\, but they often earn less than other trades. Given the cost of education\, demands of licensure\, and fee-related pressures\, it’s not surprising that financial stability is challenging for many architects. Additionally\, women and minority architects often have to contend with gender and racial bias. Firm leadership and firm ownership can be a path to financial success\, yet emerging leaders – especially those outside of traditional frameworks – often encounter unclear paths to career advancement.  \nIn this interactive workshop\, we’ll explore pathways to firm leadership and firm ownership. Attendees will diagram career ladders at their firms and define their place on this trajectory. We’ll discuss the qualities and skills required to advance to leadership positions – and how to attain them – including business literacy\, entrepreneurship\, emotional intelligence\, strategic thinking\, relationship building\, and more. Rising leaders will leave this workshop with a proactive mindset focused on achieving their career goals\, and existing firm owners will leave understanding how to guide and support the next generation of women and minority leaders in architecture. \n  \nSpeaker: Rena M. Klein\, FAIA\, Senior Partner\, CVG \nRena leads CVG’s management consulting team and advises all CVG clients on best practices in finance\, operations\, and ownership transition. She is a nationally-recognized expert in design firm practice and author of The Architect’s Guide to Small Firm Management (Wiley\, 2010). With 20 years of experience as the owner of a small architecture firm\, and over 15 years as a management consultant and educator\, Rena brings a special understanding of design firms managed by entrepreneurial architects. Rena served as executive editor of AIA’s The Architect’s Handbook of Professional Practice\, 15th edition (Wiley 2013) and is past-chair of the National Advisory Group for the AIA Practice Management Knowledge Community. She is based in Corrales\, New Mexico. \n \n  \nTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!  \n \n  \nInterested in Sponsorship? \nPlease consider becoming a sponsor of the Equity Series Panel Discussion & Workshop.

SUMMARY:Equity Series Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The AIA Houston Women in Architecture Committee is pleased to announce the eighth annual Equity Series\, Value by Design: Resilient businesses. Individual security.  \nThere has long been a cultural narrative within architecture that sets the value of the architect above the pursuit of lucrative compensation\, framing financial ambition as secondary to the ideals of the profession. However\, this mindset can leave professionals in the industry struggling to achieve the stability needed to thrive and sustain meaningful careers. The true value of architects cannot be realized without addressing this imbalance and ensuring the financial security necessary to maintain a diverse and equitable profession. \nThis year’s Equity Series asks how compensation structures can empower individuals at all stages of their professional journey. How can architects build financial security within the practice? What strategies can help architects navigate financial challenges and create opportunities for long-term growth? \nPanelists: \n\nAlec Luong\, AIA\, Principal – Architecture @ Project Luong\nLorie Westrick\, AIA\, Retired\, Former Principal @ RdlR Architects\nQeturah Williams\, AIA\, NOMA\, Principal\, Regional Operations Leader @ DLR Group\nCynthia Brown\, Director of Marketing & Business Development @ Energy Architecture\n\nModerator:  \n\nRena Klein\, FAIA\, Senior Partner @ CVG\n\n  \nAIA Credit: 2.0 LU \nPanel Discussion: 5:30pm-7:30pm \nSocial: 7:30pm-8:30pm \n\n      Following the panel discussion\, plan to join us in the gallery space for food and drinks\n\nWorkshop: Click here for more information. \n  \nTHANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!  \n \nInterested in Sponsorship? \nPlease consider becoming a sponsor of the Equity Series Panel Discussion & Workshop.

SUMMARY:BEC Houston Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx): Ensuring Comfort\, Durability\, and Health – 1.0 AIA LU/HSW   \nPresenter – Kayla Maines \nBuilding Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) is a quality-assurance process to ensure that a building\, when delivered\, meets the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR).  Commissioning begins at the start of a project\, known as Pre-Design\, continues through the design and construction phases of the project\, and is even observed a year after occupancy\, sometimes longer depending on if seasonal commissioning is desired. The process is more than a single review of the Contract Documents\, just system testing\, providing check lists\, only observing of construction\, or only involving HVAC equipment. BECx is a combination of these types of tasks throughout the life of the project and involves the enclosure systems (exterior walls\, foundation\, and roof) to reduce Owner’s risk. We will review what BECx is and exploring the process by reviewing two case studies where BECx was utilized on projects. \nCodes\, Commissioning and Testing     \nPresenter – Jonathan Curtain \nHow the 2021 IECC Changes Affect Building Design\, and How to Use Commissioning to Solve Project Problems \nCodes are an ever-evolving challenge and opportunity for designers as they update in response to new products\, requirements\, and issues.  These changes to codes can have major impacts on how buildings are designed and constructed\, and are often associated with improving health and safety of building occupants.  This presentation seeks to help designers understand recent major code updates that will have an effect on building design\, how the commissioning process is essential to meeting these requirements\, and how it can be used to solve building challenges. \nSchedule: \n\n11:00am – Check-in and lunch\n11:30am-1:00pm – Presentations\n\nAdditional Information: \n\nPre registration includes box lunch.\nParking is not included.\nA minimum of 3 business days’ notice is required to receive a full refund if you need to cancel your reservation.
