Reviving The Lost Art of Moldings

08:05 AM - 09:05 AM

Why does a room feel right when you walk into it? What's the significance of scale and proportion? Have we lost our "design" roots? This AIA continuing education program touches on these issues and more, looking back to the Greek's, the evolution of moldings, and why they make such an impact on any building project. Understand why moldings play such an important role in the design of structures, making them ascetically pleasing while creating an emotional response.

Review of Session Code Process

09:10 AM

Improving Sustainability in Concrete with Emerging Technologies

09:10 AM - 10:10 AM

This course offers an in-depth exploration of sustainable concrete, focusing on the use of pozzolans and Type 1L cement. Participants will learn about the enhanced durability and impermeability of concrete when these materials are used, leading to longer-lasting structures while still striving to meet today’s rigid environmental goals. The course will cover the environmental benefits of using pozzolans, which reduce the reliance on traditional Portland cement and help lower carbon emissions. By understanding these advanced materials, attendees will gain insights into creating more resilient and sustainable concrete. In addition to durability and sustainability, the course will address the broader environmental impacts of concrete production and use. We will examine how incorporating pozzolans and Type 1L cement can contribute to healthier living and working spaces. The program will also highlight the role of these materials in reducing the overall carbon footprint of construction projects, promoting a more eco-friendly approach to building. Through this comprehensive overview, participants will be equipped with the knowledge to implement sustainable concrete practices in their own projects.

Considerations for the Design of Wood Ceiling and Wall Systems

11:20 AM - 12:20 PM

Rulon International, the leader in decorative & acoustic wood wall & ceiling systems, has developed an effective program to help highlight the process by which wood is refined from its natural state to final product. Highlighting important factors such as engineering, acoustics, sustainability, fire performance, integrations, and general costing, the goal of this presentation is to expand understanding and allow for a broader range of refined design concepts. Let us show you what wood can be.
