On the first Wednesday of every month the AIA hosts a Tweet Chat to discuss industry issues, trends and ideas. Today, the AIA is focusing on the first 25 years of the Committee On The Environment (COTE) and asking; what do you envision for the next 25 years. Chat with industry leaders in sustainability and green design during this online brainstorm and visioning session for the future. AIA COTE put together a timeline outlining achievements from the group over the past 25 years, so you can check that out to brush up on your COTE history.
Members of our Building Science Group will have an active role in the conversation and we want to hear from you, so join us this afternoon (10/7) 2 – 3 pm EST using the hashtag #aiachat.
New to Tweet Chats? The AIA has a handy guide.
Sandrine Héroux, Sophie McKenzie, and Emily Chowdhury are each members of our in-house Fabrication team. Their day-to-day work centers on a simple question: what changes when design becomes something people can physically test?
These women challenge the notion of fabrication as a support service, framing it instead as an essential component of architectural authorship, a way to test ideas, share agency, and widen the boundaries of what architectural practice can include.
In our most recent blog, they discuss their individual paths in architecture and reflect on their experience using fabrication as a tool for fostering shared agency, community engagement and broadening the role of the architect. Link in bio!
