SUMMARY:Continuing Education: Matter & Opinion | Existing Buildings
DESCRIPTION:A special series from the Boston Society of Architects \nWe cannot meet our future goals without utilizing our greatest built and cultural assets: existing buildings. Join the Boston Society for Architecture (BSA) this July and August for Matter & Opinion: Existing Buildings\, a 7-part program series on climate action and building the will. \nEvery Monday\, two client-and-designer teams will share the challenges\, triumphs\, and lessons learned from completed existing buildings projects. Following project-based presentations\, the client-and-designer teams–as well as session attendees–will discuss the hurdles to and pathways toward building the will around continued use and reuse of existing buildings for climate action. Project types and clients represented include housing (multifamily and residential design); workplace (mission-driven and commercial); and education facilities (higher education and K-12 schools). 1 LU HSW will be available for each session. \nEach session will feature clients and designers from education facilities (higher education and K-12 schools); workplaces (commercial and mission-driven) and housing (multifamily and residential). Attend one session\, a few\, or all seven! \nContinuing education will be offered. Register now.

UMass faculty and staff requiring credit register for no fee.\nRegister for all programs here. \nMonday\, March 8 | 4:00-5:15 | Zoom \nBoston’s Big Dig\n1HSW (pending approval)\nDan McNichol\, Journalist & Author\, Spokesperson for the Big Dig \nDan McNichol\, best-selling author and award-winning journalist discusses the nation’s most intriguing\, modern\, urban marvel\, Boston’s Big Dig. McNichol shares how the mega urban project has come to define how we plan\, design\, construct cities in the United States…for better and for worse. The interactive conversation concludes with how The Big Dig\, the current plague and climate change challenge the promise of urbanism in America. For over two decades\, Dan McNichol was the spokesperson for the largest\, most complex highway construction project ever embarked upon in U.S. history: Boston’s Big Dig. McNichol will discuss the management of this mega-public works project\, officially known as the Central Artery/Tunnel Project\, sharing lessons learned as well as describing the civil engineering feats of innovative tunnel designs\, the creation of one of the world’s largest ventilation systems\, and the construction of a cable stayed bridge over the Charles River in Boston. Big Dig’s project management revealing managerial successes and failures of the project’s many “messy complexities.” \nMonday\, March 29 | 4:00-5:15 | Zoom \nBuilding Commissioning; Everything is Connected\n1LU or HSW (pending approval)\nWes Stanhope\, CEM EBCP CCP CPHC\, Founder & CEO Stanhope Developments \nBuildings are comprised of potentially competing system that are expected to work in harmony with each other. Commissioning is a living and adaptive process that can be implemented at any point throughout the lifespan of a building\, ensuring that the building systems are reviewed and tested for optimum performance. Wes will share lessons learned from projects to explain why the most successful building Commissioning starts before design has begun \nMonday\, April 19 | 4:00-5:15 | Zoom \nThe Least Cost Path to a Positive Energy Future\n1HSW (pending approval)\nBill Maclay FAIA \nBill Maclay will share a tested and proven financial methodology\, which demonstrates that positive energy buildings are typically the least cost option on a cash flow basis when compared to fossil fuel code buildings. These projects also accrue long term financial\, social equity\, ecological\, and health benefits. Maclay Architects has developed and successfully used this process for over 12 years to assist owners in evaluating financial performance of positive energy buildings. Commercial\, institutional\, and nonprofit and other residential case studies will illustrate the detailed and interwoven financial/energy analysis process\, metrics\, and templates used to guide positive energy projects from initiation to completion. This includes the design and financial analysis of a net positive energy\, plus carbon storing\, single family home design that meets the current need for cost effective operational and embodied energy buildings and design.

Natural resources are being depleted on a rapid scale while production and consumption are rising in na­tions like China and India. The waste production worldwide is enormous and if we do not do anything we will soon have turned all our resources into one big messy landfill.  But there is hope. \nThe German chemist\, Michael Braungart\, and the American designer-architect William McDonough are fundamentally changing the way we produce and build. If waste would become food for the biosphere or the technosphere (all the technical products we make)\, produc­tion and consumption could become beneficial for the planet.  A design and production concept that they call Cradle to Cradle: a concept that is seen as the next industrial revolution. Design every product in such a way that at the end of its lifecycle the component materials become a new resource. Design buildings in such a way that they produce energy and become a friend to the environment. \nRSVP to director@wmaia.org to receive Zoom login info

The CMU industry on average uses less cement than ready-mixed concrete\, due to the manufacturing process.. CMU uses a dry-cast\, zero-slump concrete mix\, and its’ unique structure enables us to accelerate CO2 sequestration rates. During this presentation we will cover greenhouse gasses\, climate change scenarios\, and CO2 emission sources. We will discuss climate change solutions including adaptation which includes resiliency. We will discuss mitigation\, and show how we are able to lower embodied carbon during CMU production by implementing breakthrough technology. \nTHIS MONTH:\nA Better Way to Build in the 21st Century\nMonday\, November 2 | 4:00-5:15 | Zoom |1LU\nTedd Benson\, Founder\, and CEO of Bensonwood & Unity Homes \nWhat are the critical ingredients of more enlightened homebuilding? In this presentation\, we’ll discuss the ingredients of a better work culture\, design rules for smart standardization\, energy performance standards that must be normalized\, and why “open building” disentanglement are all critical ingredients of a more enlightened age of homebuilding that will get us to a better future.

The interactive conversation concludes with how The Big Dig\, the current plague and climate change challenge the promise of urbanism in America. For over two decades\, Dan McNichol was the spokesperson for the largest\, most complex highway construction project ever embarked upon in U.S. history: Boston’s Big Dig. McNichol will discuss the management of this mega-public works project\, officially known as the Central Artery/Tunnel Project\, sharing lessons learned as well as describing the civil engineering feats of innovative tunnel designs\, the creation of one of the world’s largest ventilation systems\, and the construction of a cable stayed bridge over the Charles River in Boston.

The CMU industry on average uses less cement than ready-mixed concrete\, due to the manufacturing process.. CMU uses a dry-cast\, zero-slump concrete mix\, and its’ unique structure enables us to accelerate CO2 sequestration rates. During this presentation we will cover greenhouse gasses\, climate change scenarios\, and CO2 emission sources. We will discuss climate change solutions including adaptation which includes resiliency. We will discuss mitigation\, and show how we are able to lower embodied carbon during CMU production by implementing breakthrough technology. \nA Better Way to Build in the 21st Century\nMonday\, November 2 | 4:00-5:15 | Zoom |1LU\nTedd Benson\, Founder\, and CEO of Bensonwood & Unity Homes \nWhat are the critical ingredients of more enlightened homebuilding? In this presentation\, we’ll discuss the ingredients of a better work culture\, design rules for smart standardization\, energy performance standards that must be normalized\, and why “open building” disentanglement are all critical ingredients of a more enlightened age of homebuilding that will get us to a better future.

SUMMARY:Our first VIRTUAL Building Tour! UMass Student Union
DESCRIPTION:UMASS Student Union Tour\nTuesday\, September 22 | 4:00-5:30 | Zoom |1.5 HSW \nThe UMass Student Union building\, completed in 1957\, was designed by architect and UMass alumnus Louis Warren Ross in the modernist style. Located at the center of the UMass Amherst campus\, it was the first campus building dedicated to student organizations and extracurricular activities. The facility contains shared common areas\, a large ballroom\, and dedicated offices for student organizations and other campus services. At the time of its construction\, the Student Union was the largest building on campus\, and served 4\,800 students.  Today\, the building supports over 30\,000 students and 200 registered student organizations (RSOs). \nThe $62 million renovation\, designed by Shepley Bulfinch\, will revitalize the facility as a modern hub for student activity and interaction\, and reconnect the building to its surrounding natural landscape. As a “global campus living room\,” the design will embrace student entrepreneurship\, organizations\, and events to support collaboration\, multidisciplinary learning\, and leadership. The project team is targeting completion for spring 2021\, and anticipating LEED Silver Certification.  The building features many strategies in support of the University’s commitment to sustainability. \nThe program will consist of a project overview and “live” tour led by WMAIA member Derek Noble AIA of Shepley Bulfinch.  Derek will be joined by Shepley colleagues and staff members from UMass Campus Planning. \nREGISTER HERE

It’s a casual meeting\, good discussion! \nGreen Bite: Race and Climate Change/ Race and Architecture\nWMAIA COTE will be taking the opportunity this week to focus our attention on the intersection of Race and Climate Change\, as well as Race and Architecture. Each month we ask a guest speaker to talk about what they are working on with respect to sustainability. This week we are going to have an open discussion about how we as a designers\, and advocates for sustainability\, must include in our efforts\, designs which address social injustice\, and work towards creating a profession that represents the diversity of our country. You may come simply to listen\, you may bring questions\, you may bring ideas\, we only ask that you come with an open mind to the possibilities of change\, and how we may work towards change. \nIn preparation for this meeting we request that you read the following articles/statements: \nhttps://www.aia.org/press-releases/6299362-everyone-deserves-universal-respect-and-hu?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=daily \nhttps://www.greenpeace.org/usa/why-race-matters-when-we-talk-about-the-environment/ \nhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/06/03/im-black-climate-scientist-racism-derails-our-efforts-save-planet/ \nhttps://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/12/arts/design/architects-prison-death-chamber.html \n(note: the previously advertised Green Bite with Laura Fitch on Kroka Expeditions will be rescheduled) \nThe platform will be Zoom.  Please rsvp to director@wmaia.org and you will be provided with the login info.
