This course examine load paths for the various types of pressures and loads to which we expect buildings to be subjected by wind. We research known ways to mitigate expected forces. Then we seek to implement the best solutions we can afford.
In initial discussions with a client, it is easy to begin envisioning the type, and maybe even the appearance of the building that we can imagine will meet their needs. It is wise though, to not become too invested in possible solutions until we have been informed of, or the owner has decided upon, the site upon which their building will be located.
This 4-hour LU/HSW course examines the integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) through the lens of an architect’s sole duty: the protection of the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
This course will help to understand the different types of threats to buildings and the occupants within and review design requirements needed to counter those threats.
This course will examine a subject architects cannot afford to neglect.
It is the intent of this webinar, in the limited time, to bring clarity to many of the terms and concepts involved with the aspirations of Net Zero. This will provide design professional with an understanding of the terms, concepts and actions that are needed to do their part.
This course will set forth and discuss principles used by architects to prioritize decisions and establish hierarchies, when various situations arise.
This course is intended to discuss the origins of the concept of Resilience and how it has come to become relevant in building design. The course will address the overlap and differences between sustainability and resilient design.
The course will show how the influences of these design principles support sustainable and eco friendly design and construction.
This course will examine a few key principles of what could be called, ‘environmentally responsible’ design. There are many steps that can be taken during design and after structures are complete, to reduce energy use and resources consumed.
This course will identify twenty common errors and how to correct them.
This course will introduce you to academic/university lab design. It will cover the basics for designing teaching and research labs as well as the buildings dedicated to such.
The substance we call dirt, on which we build the structures we inhabit, is comprised of far more than meets the eye. Even before beginning design, we should investigate to determine whether a site will actually meet our project needs.
This presentation proposes criteria that may prove valuable in determining which option for the disposition of older buildings represents the best value for the owner, the buyer or the community in which the structure is located. For the benefit of everyone involved, any reuse of older buildings is better than none.
