Join us for a panel with speakers from the industry with insight into early career experience and guidance on designing career paths. \n  \n2026 – Navigating the Ropes: Syncing Skills and Strategy \nAs you build your career in architecture\, you’ll pick up skills\, shift roles\, and pursue credentials; slowly shaping the kind of professional you want to be. But growth takes more than technical expertise. It’s developed over time\, through trial\, feedback\, and the occasional wrong turn; it takes intention. \nThis panel explores how to build that skill set on purpose. Through personal experience and practical advice\, panelists will share how they defined their goals\, advocated for themselves\, and grew from where they started to where they are now. \nWhether you’re weighing your next role or setting up your career\, this session offers practical insight for growing both personally and professionally. \nWe can’t wait to see you there! \nPanelists: \n\nBrinn Miracle – Architangent\nMichael Gonzales\, AIA – Protolab\nCatherine Callaway\, AIA\, LFA\, LEED AP – Kirksey Architecture\n\nModerator: \n\nStephanie Pedigo\, AIA\, LEED AP – GSMArchitects\n\nTime: \n\n5:30pm\, Networking\n6:00-7:30 Program\n\nCost: \n\n$10 General Admission\n$5   Student\n\n

SUMMARY:Design the Ride: A skatepark design workshop
DESCRIPTION:Calling all creative thinkers! Get ready for an action-packed morning with the National Organization of Minority Architects\, Houston\, and Architecture Center of Houston\, where design and skateboarding will collide. \nWhat makes a skatepark unforgettable? Is it the bowls\, a challenging stair set\, a perfect handrail\, or a quarter pipe that keeps riders coming back? In this hands-on workshop\, students will explore how skateparks are designed to challenge\, inspire\, and bring communities together. \nStudents will work in groups to sketch\, design\, and build elements for a new community skatepark. At the end of the workshop\, students will be able to share their designs and receive feedback from architects and use mini skateboards to experience their parks. \nImmersed in the current exhibition at the Architecture Center of Houston\, Kinetics of Urban Movement\, students will be able to draw inspiration from the photographs\, 3D-printed models\, and skate park sculptures on display. Shane Yee\, Rodrigo Gallardo\, and Bobby King with Skate Ecosystems will share their experiences designing and riding skateparks. \nWorkshop Highlights: \n\nStudents will work in teams of 5-6 students.\n Each team member will select a different element to add to the skatepark.\nStudents will draw\, build\, and sculpt their skatepark elements.\nTeams will present their designs to the group\, explaining features and design choices.\nArchitects & designers will be on hand to guide participants\, answer questions\, and share experiences.\n\nThis interactive event is perfect for students aged 7-12 who are excited to explore the world of architecture and unleash their creativity. Through fun activities and teamwork\, participants will learn how to design while developing essential skills in problem-solving\, collaboration\, and skateboarding culture. Whether you’re already a skater or interested in designing and building\, this is your chance to shape the future of Houston’s skate scene—one ramp\, rail\, and bowl at a time. \nDesign the Ride: A skatepark design workshop is part of the arcHERtecture workshop series\, which encourages girls to explore careers in architecture.  \nThis program is in conjunction with The Kinetics of Urban Movement\, on view at the Architecture Center Houston from June 18-September 26. \nExhibition Sponsors and Community Partners \nKinetics of Urban Movement is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance \n \nCherries Wheels\nHoney Skate Club\nHouston Parks and Recreation Department\nHouston Skate Academy\nSelect\nSkate ECOSYSTEMS\nSouthside Skatepark

SUMMARY:Participatory Environments with Alexis Sablone
DESCRIPTION:How can we design more active and engaging cities? Drawing from experience as a professional skateboarder and designer\, Alexis Sablone reflects on how movement shapes the way space is read\, used\, and reinterpreted\, and how those ideas carry into their design work. \n\nAbout Alexis Sablone\nAlexis Sablone is an architect\, designer and multidisciplinary artist\, as well as a professional skateboarder and Olympian. They hold a BA from Barnard College\, Columbia University\, and a Masters in Architecture from Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, where they were both the Ida C. Green Fellow and recipient of the Imre Halasz Thesis Prize. Much of their work brings together their two worlds of architecture and skateboarding through the design of hybridized playscapes and large scale interactive sculptures in an ongoing exploration and interrogation of public space. Skateboarding\, if nothing else\, has provided an interesting case study for designers\, as skate spaces consistently show themselves to be creatively used\, shared and beloved by a broad\, diverse and growing community. This diverse usership—cutting across spectrums of skill level\, age\, race and gender—demonstrates the potential that public play spaces hold\, not just for skateboarders\, but beyond. Alexis is currently a fellow at University of Chicago’s Gray Center for Art’s and Inquiry\, where last spring they co-taught a course about the intersection of skateboarding culture\, performance and urban space. \n  \nThis program is in conjunction with The Kinetics of Urban Movement\, on view at the Architecture Center Houston from June 18-September 26. \n  \nImage: Candy Courts.
