Modernizing the AIA Interiors Documents Family

Designing and building out an interior space is a unique practice with its own risk and responsibilities, including the fact that the sale of furniture, furnishings, and equipment (FF&E) is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code. Attend a live webinar to learn how the entire family of AIA Interiors documents were updated to make them easier to understand, suitable for projects beyond commercial buildings and now allows the architect to provide a more cohesive design for a project.

Webinar: Pre/Post areas of Ambulatory Surgery: A human-centered approach to design

Pre/Post areas of Ambulatory Surgery: A human-centered approach to design Earn 1 AIA LU/HSW | Tuesday, July 9, 2019 | 2–3pm ET Description The healthcare design process often involves choosing between various design alternatives to support the needs of multiple stakeholders, including patients, their care partners and clinicians. To proactively address potential safety & quality concerns during the design process, it is crucial to understand how proposed design options may support the integration of new technologies, organizational processes, and users’ tasks into the built environment. A multi-year research project, focused on designing preoperative & postoperative workspaces in ambulatory surgical environments, included in-depth case studies, the development of a macro-ergonomic assessment, and a virtual reality (VR) research study evaluating three distinct preoperative room designs to determine which room best supports nursing work performance. This presentation will cover key findings from this process, including how to leverage VR to objectively evaluate user interactions with the environment. This session will also preview how findings from this multi-year project have been utilized to design a physical mock-up of a preoperative/postoperative room that will be used to test nurse work performance through further simulations. Learning objectives After participating in this webinar attendees will be equipped to: Understand how to implement a human-centered approach to support the design of safer more ergonomic preoperative and postoperative workspaces. Learn how to leverage VR simulation evaluations to identify potential safety and quality concerns during the design process. Learn how to use scenario-based simulations in VR to objectively evaluate user interactions with the environment. Explore how to engage clinical stakeholders in the design process.   Ideal audience This session is part of the Health Care 101 series by the Academy of Architecture for Health. The web-based 60-minute seminars are tailored to provide budding healthcare professionals with conceptual and practical primer-level knowledge. Education level Beginner Moderator Rita Ho, LEED AP Rita has over 20 years of experience in the field of architecture and close to 15 years in healthcare projects in U.S. & Asia. Rita is currently co-chair of the AIA Academy of Architecture for Health Webinar Committee. Speaker Anjali Joseph, PhD, EDAC Dr. Joseph is the Spartanburg Regional Health System Endowed Chair in Architecture + Health Design and Director of the Center for Health Facilities Design and Testing at Clemson University. Dr. Anjali Joseph’s research focuses on multidisciplinary approaches to improving patient safety and quality in high stress healthcare settings through the development of tools and built environment solutions. She currently leads a multidisciplinary Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) funded project to develop a learning lab focused on improving patient safety in the operating room. Anjali’s work has been published in many peer-reviewed journals. She has spoken widely to national and international audiences. Deborah Wingler, PhD, MSD-HHE, EDAC Dr. Wingler is a Research Assistant Professor with the Center for Health Facilities Design and Testing at Clemson University and the President of Healing Design Integration, LLC. Dr. Deborah Wingler’s research focuses on improving the patient and staff experience within the ambulatory care environment through research studies that utilize real-time data collection techniques to elicit insight into patient and staff physiological, psychological and neural responses to high stress healthcare environments. Her research interests also include bringing high-quality care to vulnerable populations and medically underserved communities within the United States and internationally.   GoToWebinar Platform Troubleshooting If you have had trouble seeing the screen during past webinars: 1) download the latest version of Java beforehand and 2) try logging out and logging back in.

Webinar: New Urban Agenda AIA Chapter Awards – AIA Seattle & Housing Advocacy

Webinar: New Urban Agenda AIA Chapter Awards – AIA Seattle & Housing Advocacy AIA Seattle believes that housing is a human right. Housing all citizens with dignity is a foundational responsibility of our society, and one in which architects are natural and valuable partners. As Seattle grows and housing pressures mount, the urgency of solving our housing crisis increases. AIA Seattle has developed a multi-pronged approach to housing advocacy across multiple platforms that includes member engagement, legislative and policy work, and public outreach. This webinar will explore how AIA Seattle has worked to identify the policies where architects can make the most impact and how the chapter has built a cohesive campaign around housing policy changes. Learning Objectives: Attendees will learn how to identify housing issues where architects can have an impact and build a cohesive campaign around impacting housing policy. Attendees will learn how to conduct a member engagement campaign around the issue of housing. Attendees will learn how to participate in the legislative and policymaking process on housing issues. Attendees will learn about ways to engage the public on housing issues Speakers: Rick Mohler, AIA Rick Mohler, AIA, NCARB, is a licensed architect and Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Washington, where he teaches graduate level design studios and professional practice. In 1991, he co-founded Adams/Mohler Architects (now Mohler + Ghillino Architects), a firm engaged in residential, commercial adaptive re-use, and commercial interior design projects that has been recognized through numerous design awards and publications.
