Andersen® Architectural Collection Big Door Series – Weiland® wood Liftslide multi-panel, bi-parting doors. Architect: Stuart Narofsky, FAIA.

ANDERSEN® at ABX 2018 brings you –

LARGE DOORS: How to select the right door Modern design trends are favoring larger openings, and while this blank canvas offers the architect a wide-range of options, it can also pose a challenge. Because of the almost unlimited variations of different types, styles, and available options for large doors, it is often more important that the architect understands how to make the selection process, rather than which specific door to choose. The process for specifying should include client aesthetic expectations, environmental conditions, building performance, and durability concerns.

ABX2018 November 28­­–29 Boston Convention & Exhibition Center Hall A | Boston, MA

ABX is owned and produced by Informa Exhibitions, host of the construction industry’s market-leading events in North America and around the globe. Industry insight, coupled with an innovative and entrepreneurial approach, provides Informa Exhibitions customers and partners with the opportunity to create business advantage and access markets.

A chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Boston Society of Architects/AIA (BSA/AIA) consists of nearly 4,500 members and offers unparalleled programs, services, and publications that foster innovation, equity, economic vitality, and resiliency throughout New England, North America, and the world. BSA/AIA is the founder and presenter of ABX.

ArchitectureBoston, a quarterly publication of the Boston Society of Architects/AIA, explores the ways architecture influences and is influenced by our environment and our society.

BSA Space is Boston’s leading center for architecture and design, and is home to the Boston Society of Architects/AIA and the BSA Foundation.

A charitable sister organization to the Boston Society of Architects/AIA, its goal is to use design to promote the public good. The Foundation has brought design education, community design resources, and a slate of design-based programs addressing regional challenges to over 100,000 people since 2014.

Welcome to ABX— the New England Building Industry’s premier forum for discovery, innovation, and the advancement of best practices.

The ABX conference program and the hundreds of new products demonstrated throughout the exhibition hall allow us to see all the different ways in which our industry is shaping New England and the wider world.

Design and construction are prime economic drivers. We provide jobs, and strengthen the homes, workplaces, and civic buildings of our communities. Our technical achievements explore new ways of thinking about and using materials and developing enclosures.

We are creating mechanisms for resilience and adaptation that protect against flooding and sea-level rise, and cost-effective ways to reduce and eliminate carbon emissions. By keeping our project delivery methodologies sharp, our businesses align with evolving marketplace demands. In everything we do, BSA/AIA members and our allies in the design and construction industry pursue excellence.

At the Boston Society of Architects/AIA and the BSA Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of design, creating a city and region filled with flourishing spaces and people. The ABX conference program is filled with opportunities to learn how BSA/AIA members and their partners are working to maintain Massachusetts’ role as a national leader in climate change, affordable housing, mass transit, and social equity.

I invite you to learn more about our civic goals and activities by visiting architects.org/goals; but only after you attend ABX. Because at ABX, you can shake hands with your colleagues, sit down and share ideas and experiences, and enjoy all the different ways that architecture brings people together.

Thank you for being part of the ABX community.

The Quad Short for “Quadrangle,” Quad is a public square at the center of a college campus--a place of vibrancy, playfulness, and connectivity. In our increasingly dense urban habitats, city dwellers seek to discover similar environments in the places they live, work, and play.

This year the Quad exhibit is designed

by Stantec’s WHAT’S IN team and fabricated and assembled by Jobsite Steel Manufacturing, The New England Carpenters Union and East Coast Interiors (ECI).

Open Architecture Collaborative Learn more about the work of the Open Architecture Collaborative (OAC) as they explain how the organization operates several projects for non-profit organizations in the Boston area and several educational, healthcare and community projects around the world.

The workshop will focus on similarities and differences among these varied projects and how they are designed using volunteer design teams. Also discussed will be the challenges and rewards of providing free services to communities in need around the world.

OAC provides pro-bono architectural and design services for communities in need, locally and in the developing world. It also acts as a facilitator for the provision of such pro-bono services by other individuals, organizations and firms.

WHAT’S IN was established in 2012 by a group of young architects who were challenged by the rising housing costs in Boston. They set a goal to find urban housing solutions that are more accessible to the greater work force.

Over the course of 6 years the research group has gathered data on housing preferences, designed affordable housing prototypes, studied cost saving solutions, and cultivated collaborations with other groups. They’ve shared their research and ideas in innovative ways for all of their six years.

This year WHAT’S IN explored methods of achieving density and affordability through advances in technology, sustainability, policy, and compact design. They found solutions through collaborations and by prototyping algorithmic platforms that streamline the design and construction processes and allow for the mass production of urban compact modular housing.

Design Technology Throwdown Sponsored by BSA Dynamo-litia, Design Technology Throwdown returns to ABX 2018 for a competition where teams face off to see who can design the best solution to a mutual design problem.

A champion will be crowned for the best use of contemporary technology to develop, document and validate their design.

Women in Design Symposium Page Headline

Women in Design Symposium Thursday, Nov. 29 “From the Ground Up: Grassroots Initiatives” will explore the genesis, execution and growth of grassroots movements as they relate to the design community. Created to foster conversation and learning, this one-day symposium includes the WiD Keynote Breakfast and workshops on the topic of Grassroots Initiatives that will explore grassroots movements which have increased as people seek to fill voids in social, policy, and implementation aspects of the built environment.

From the Ground Up: Grassroots Initiatives- Women in Design Keynote

Courtney Sharpe, Director of Cultural Planning, City of Boston Office of Arts and Culture

How can we have a positive impact on our world? In recent years grassroots movements have increased as people seek to fill voids in social, policy, and implementation aspects of the built environment. Grassroots movements are often initiated in the public realm, with architects and designers playing a role alongside other professionals and members of the public to achieve a community, regional, or even national goal.

Whatever the goal of grassroots movements- whether to change policy, to support disadvantaged groups, or to add physically to the built environment- there are common challenges. These include identifying a need, building support, growing effectively, and ultimately implementing measures to address the need.

In this keynote discussion we bring together architectural practitioners, educators, and community engagement professionals to explore the genesis, execution, and growth of grassroots movements as they relate to the design community along with the skills that we as designers can bring to their success.

TE01 | The Building Sector’s Role in Shaping Resilience Potential in our City and its Region

Hosted by the MA Architects & Engineers for Emergency Response Task Force Networking from 8:00 am - 8:30 am;

As we building professionals develop a more resilient metro urban Boston, what do we need to know about the New England region, its changing climate, its economy, and its critical resources—water, food, energy, biodiversity, land—to ensure resilience?

This half-day workshop is envisioned as a round table conversation, coupled with breakout sessions, between urban resilience experts, designers and developers, and regional experts in climate, natural resources, and economy.

The goal of this session is to understand the interconnectedness between the urban center and its region, and to identify paths forward to work with this interconnected system to optimize its potential. The workshop brings together practitioners, experts and thinkers from the urban center and the region to discuss relationships, threats, opportunities and pathways for regionally contextualized resilience development.

During breakout sessions, attendees will grapple with key topics of urban-regional systems, and their natural resources, climate, economy and how to apply this understanding to resilience development.

Attendees learn about the wider context within which their portion of the building sector operates. Urban-regional potential within a changing climate will be the overarching theme for all discussions.

Lunch provided from 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm.

This workshop will allow professional Architects, Engineers, and building inspectors to become certified to assist local governments and perform safety evaluations of the built environment in the aftermath of a natural disaster or catastrophe. It will teach participants to conduct rapid damage assessments of structures affected by earthquakes, as well as wind and water damage. Case studies will be presented and discussed to illustrate examples of possible damage scenarios that a Second Responder could encounter and how to properly assess the damage and record it for later use by emergency management personnel.

Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to consistently and safely assess structures for habitability and will receive a nationally recognized Cal OES registration ID card from the state of CA. Attendees will also be introduced to the FEMA requirements and protocols for responders operating in a post-disaster theater, and will be prepared to take the self-study online courses required of Second Responders who wish to perform post-disaster assessments.

TE02 | Advanced Enclosure Detailing Workshop Exterior envelope detailing is one of the most complex design challenges architects regularly face. Adding to the complexity are the everincreasing performance requirements envelopes must meet. With all this, how can architects maintain technical excellence? This workshop breaks down the complexity of designing exterior envelope into discrete, easy to remember stages of development which can be applied to any design. The methods we will share have been developed with evolving technologies and performance requirements over the last 20 years and are used in our practice every day. The workshop will be divided up into three parts: a group discussion on fundamental detailing principals, case study examples of how those principles are employed, and a hands-on session where we apply these principles and re-imagine details from notable mid-century modern buildings.

Energy Plus Housing for All 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU|HSW Energy positive housing, where the building makes more energy onsite than used over the course of a year is not new. Unfortunately, itís typically reserved for housing targeted to homeowners or renters with higher incomes. Whatís missing is the opportunity to create energy positive and carbon neutral housing that is targeted to low- and moderate-income homeowners and renters. How can we change this? 1. An integrated design approach to include all stakeholders.

2. Design to Passive House to reduce building energy use. 3. Cost-optimize to refine design / systems in all phases of design. 4. include deeper affordability by utilizing existing housing subsidy programs (e.g. low-income housing tax credits) for rental housing and limited equity cooperatives 5. integrate into the neighborhood (diversify the design and construction team to create jobs and wealth within the neighborhood the project is located). Our panel includes an architect, an energy rater and modeler and a developer who will discuss two projects that propose to do just this.

Strategies for Community Process in Affordable Housing 1:30 pm–3:00 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW Creating affordable housing and keeping neighborhoods open for all is difficult to achieve in todayís expensive housing construction market. In advanced urban democracies, it has become necessary to negotiate the design of multi-family housing not only with elected officials but with the citizenry. In Massachusetts, Chapter 40B creates opportunities as well as challenges. This process can be long and fraught with pit-falls – slowing down and increasing the cost of much needed housing – as city- and state- wide priorities are re-litigated block-by-block. But, does it have to be a negative or dreaded experience?

New digital platforms allow more of the community to be reached, and real dialogue between the project team and the neighbors can be achieved earlier and more consistently than ever before.

Knowing community concerns can help designers better respond to varied feedback and structure neighborhood and city presentations.

Pushing Wood to Higher Heights 3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU Changes in the 2015 International Building Code (IBC) to allow the use of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) have significantly enhanced the ability to build taller housing structures in wood construction. The changes are allowing height, area and construction type options for mixed-use structures previously not possible. CLT has been used in Europe for the past 15 years, providing increased speed and efficiency in construction. This session will combine the insights of an architect, code expert, and structural

engineer to: 1. Briefly explore the history of wood as a building element.

2. Provide an overview of CLT and its use in housing over the past decade.

Evolving Toward Zero in Affordable Multifamily 6:00 pm–7:30 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW Affordable multi family construction poses both unique challenges and opportunities for indoor air quality and energy, water, and material efficiency.

While scheduling and cost often dictate specifications, many finance authorities require demonstrated efficiency for funding. Using three case studies, this presentation will demonstrate from design through construction how this developer progressively improved with each consecutive affordable housing development. From The Heights at Darien which were barely Energy Star certified to Crescent Crossings which is Energy Star plus Indoor airPLUS to the Passive House Designed developments in Hartford and Bridgeport, this session will demonstrate how to move design and construction to high performance.

We will review modeling tools and predicted savings as compared to actual consumption and demonstrate the evolution of getting to net zero.

Resiliency, sustainability, and public Massachusetts Chapter 91 waterfront access have become more integrated into the development planning process in residential neighborhoods within the City of Boston. Increasing awareness of these civic issues have widened the conversation to community stakeholders, design professionals, and policy leaders. As a result, research is becoming formalized into guidelines that are driving “best” design practices and regulatory oversight to collectively improve the relationship between private development and civic open space, the preservation and protection of our coastal ecologies, and their relationship to housing typologies.

Analyzed through the lens of complex regulatory, environmental, and urban design drivers on a coastal site in East Boston, our team will discuss how multi-family development projects can integrate these complex planning measures while remaining sensitive to differentiating scales within varied neighborhood contexts. We will discuss development opportunities available on sites that are becoming points of vulnerability along the Boston coastline, and the role of architectural and landscape design in the context of communities at greater risk of flooding. Furthermore, this session will focus on sustainable design and energy efficiency when providing a mix of micro to multiple bed housing unit typologies.

Resiliency Planning for Multi-Family Coastal Development 3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW

Passive House Multifamily– Building Inherent Value 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU|HSW Real estate professionals can lead the transformation toward a more sustainable, equitable and prosperous future. Passive House design principals offer a fundamental opportunity to help us meet these goals. Applicable to nearly all building types, a Passive House approach not only dramatically reduces utility bills, operating costs and carbon footprints, but as a natural byproduct, delivers buildings that are far more durable, highly resilient, and phenomenally comfortable and healthy to be in. It is an integrated and collaborative approach that fundamentally incorporates the long view, fostering ecological and social wellness, as well as healthy enterprise.

Using two case studies, we will discuss the design and construction principles that are employed to radically reduce energy consumption and produce super-efficient, cost-effective buildings that are affordable to operate, comfortable to be in, and resilient. The 28-unit mixed use Distillery North is the largest Passive House project in Massachusetts. Now almost two years in operation, we will share details, testing data and lessons learned that are being implemented in Concord Highlands, a 98-unit affordable housing project that started construction in the Spring of 2018.

Climate Resilient Design: Overcoming Hurdles 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU|HSW Developers, engineers, and architects want to include climate resiliency into their development projects for marketing, public health and environmental reasons. However, it’s not easy being green. What makes it so challenging to include climate-resilient design (e.g. “living shorelines”) into their projects? What are the regulatory issues and prevailing perspectives, in Massachusetts that make it so tricky?

Engage with policy and permitting specialists working with developers and their teams on numerous high profile projects in Greater Boston to reflect upon the current difficulties, and discuss ways of overcoming them. Several piloted ideas will be presented such as

leveraging public and private interests, finding permitting openings, and working cooperatively with resource agencies. Also learn about the recent efforts to change federal, state, and local regulation to make being green and resilient common practice.

narratives. In NYC, Hurricane Sandy exposed the vulnerabilities of Lower Manhattan’s diverse and underserved communities. Subsequently, NYC engaged in developing planning and recovery programs; the East Side Coastal Resiliency (ESCR) and Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency (LMCR) projects emerged from these efforts.

In December 2016, The City of Boston released Climate Ready Boston as part of a city-wide effort to prepare for the future, outlining specific actions to be undertaken. In 2017, the first sitespecific study was published, focusing on the waterfronts of East Boston and Charlestown. The funding of these large-scale landscape and infrastructure projects, while sharing similarities, have diverged in their allowances for implementation. In NYC, HUD and FEMA funding allowed large-scale infrastructure projects to advance, despite starts and stalls. For Climate Ready Boston, site conditions allow the City to leverage 2030 capital projects to build a framework for incremental interventions. In this discussion, we will focus on narratives of implementation,

community involvement, and adaptability both to a changing climate and the contexts of funding and policy considerations.

What Can We Do Beyond 2050?

Long Term Adaptation Strategies 1:30 pm–3:00 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW This past year, intense Nor’easterns exposed the risks of climate change in cities across the Eastern Seaboard.

While cities have been developing plans for mitigation and adaptation, we should ask how will these plans adapt to new projections of a faster sea level rise or increased intensity of storm events. This panel will discuss tools to assess and transform the frameworks for resilience set today, which will have long-term consequences. To begin defining these questions, we will discuss recent efforts by Climate Ready Boston to present a ‘layered approach:’ first facilitating localized infrastructural interventions to address short term threats, second, creating long-term visions for new public infrastructure addresses and finally, developing flexibility and relationships to connect policy, development, and resilience planning. We will also discuss the ongoing East Side Coastal Resiliency (ESCR) and Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency (LMCR) projects, whose combination can provide an example for adaptive long-term plans in Lower Manhattan. To conclude, we will explore how this ‘layered approach’ in NYC and Boston (which has a wide range of efforts outside East Boston and Charlestown) can help set strategies for cities address challenges in an incremental and dynamic manner while engaging in an iterative dialogue with the community.

Preparing South Boston for Sea Level Rise & Storm Surges 3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW As demonstrated during the January and March storms of 2018, Boston is at risk for coastal flooding and storm surges, particularly in the Fort Point Channel and Seaport neighborhoods.

The City’s ongoing initiative, Climate Ready Boston, seeks innovative ways to plan for and mitigate the effects of climate change with targeted studies focused on the districts most at risk. A team of experts led by Arcadis—with Halvorson Design, CivicMoxie, and the Woods Hole Group—was engaged to provide a comprehensive study focused on the coastal areas and neighborhoods of the South Boston waterfront. The goal of Climate Ready South Boston is to develop a series of near and longterm strategies for protecting the city from rising sea levels, coastal flooding, and storm surges, while at the same time creating social, environmental, and economic benefits and value to the people of South Boston. During this presentation, the speakers will review key details from the report, giving audience members a better understanding of the flood risks and flood pathways for South Boston, a brief overview of flood mapping dynamics, and the solutions developed through conversations with building owners and the community to reduce the risk of flooding in this growing district.

WE50

Improving the Flood Resistance of Buildings 6:00 pm–7:30 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW Severe flooding can endanger life, but even moderate levels of flooding can lead to extensive damages and disruption of building operations. Water source contamination and inhibited access are significant problems, coupled with damages to structures and interior contents. Contaminated water can destroy electrical infrastructure, mechanical systems, etc.

Business interruption can last from a few days to over a year. Due to climate change and revisions to FEMA flood maps in 2016, many buildings not previously categorized as being at risk are now subject to flooding. As a result, insurers are informing their clients of the potential risks and associated increases in flood insurance coverage, if flood mitigation procedures are not enacted. Gale’s presentation will discuss how to identify areas of facilities vulnerable to flooding, and the options and systems available to protect properties from potentially catastrophic damages to structures, building contents, and impacts on building operations. The presentation will focus on addressing potential hazards at existing facilities. It is usually not as easy as building a levee around the property. Oftentimes, a hybrid solution must be developed, incorporating a variety of systems, including barriers, flood gates, deployable flood walls, backflow devices, storage tanks and ejector pumps, upgraded stormwater systems, etc.

TH03

In Boston and New York City, large city parks and open space networks have proved vital forces in the creation of public value and strengthening social resilience. In both cities, green spaces can be leveraged as holistic infrastructural armature infused with multiple functions: interventions simultaneously warding off storm surge with detention basins and bioswales absorbing stormwater, equipped with facilities to host CDOs and local groups.

Implemented together, these measures can carve out a new role for urban open space as the face of social resilience central to community health. It is well studied that collaborative design with communities allows designers to maximize benefit and the success of public spaces. Through case studies of the East Harlem Resiliency Study (NYC) and the Moakley Park Vision Plan (Boston), the importance of local capacity building in the design process has been central to planning resilient public spaces. In NYC, the study leverages a educational partnership with DREAM Charter School through an honors class on climate change. In Boston, the vision plan hosted a series of events connecting user groups and communicating the park’s scale and present use, helping designers better optimize the space incrementally while also incorporating climate-adaptive interventions.

Green Infrastructure strategies and techniques are becoming more mainstream as our urban environments deal with increased stormwater management issues as well as a changing climate. Increasingly, Green Infrastructure strategies are incorporated into urban stormwater management solutions due to the increased benefits over traditional stormwater management approaches, including climate change resilience.

This session will give a brief overview of Green Infrastructure techniques and demonstrate how they are implemented in urban environments. The drivers behind Green Infrastructure, including legal drivers, will be discussed. GI benefits as they relate to stormwater management, climate change resilience and triple bottom line benefits will also be presented. Presentations will center on the synergies between landscape architects, planners, and civil engineers and their roles in planning, designing, and championing integrated Green Infrastructure. Case studies will be presented from Boston Green Infrastructure projects including coastal resilience projects currently underway, as well as projects in other communities which serve as precedent for innovative collaboration between designers and engineers.

Post-Maria Puerto Rico: Defining Resilient Recovery 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU|HSW Co-sponsored by the BSA’s Global Practice Network and the Committee on Resilient Environments (CORE), this panel presentation and discussion will examine the state of recovery in Puerto Rico. Hurricanes Irma and Maria highlighted the long-term challenges of this Caribbean country at the frontlines of a changing climate. The initial disaster response exposed systems and processes that – while often not ideal – must be recognized and examined for their potential to influence longterm recovery. Pedro Sifre, who has documented conditions on the ground in 2018, will present historical context and the current state of recovery.

Ramón Bueno, who has studied the links between climate change impacts and societal and economic conditions, will explore resilience as an equitable balance of social, environmental, and economic concerns, informed by the best climate science available. Dave Hampton, who has assisted in the recovery efforts in Haiti and elsewhere will frame a discussion around the central questions: what is resilient recovery? From what? For whom? And who decides? This interactive session is intended to spark further discussion on how design professionals can better impact recovery at home and abroad.

Retrofitting Buildings for Flood Risks

Designing for Flooding and Sea Level Rise

1:30 pm–3:00 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW

3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW

Responses to rising sea-levels, increased storm impacts, and more frequent major precipitation events can be categorized according to scale, from the individual building to the region. This presentation will focus on specific strategies and best practices for enhancing resilience, passive survivability, and floodresistance at the scale of the individual building, the neighborhood, and the district or floodplain. With the City of Boston’s planned implementation of a Floodplain Design Overlay District such specific strategies will be required throughout significant areas of the City. Learn what to expect from the proposed new zoning regulations and how to satisfy these expected requirements.

Changing FEMA maps, requirements for floodproofing, rising sea levels, and calls for resiliency are some of the new challenges that designers, owners, insurers, and government officials are facing as inland and coastal flooding occurs more frequently. Owners and insurers are asking designers to address the increased risks of flooding as new policies and forecasts are issued about the impacts of climate change. Owner’s expectations for resilient building performance have been heightened and government agencies are demanding that designers consider resilience.

This presentation will address flood risks at new and existing buildings, discuss strategies for reducing flood risk, and review building design to resist flooding. We will explain building code requirements for flood hazard areas and describe basic approaches for wet and dry floodproofing. We will discuss vulnerability assessments of existing facilities and concepts for mitigating risk. We will also discuss the forecasts for sea level rise and strategies for addressing uncertainty in future sea levels in building design and construction.

Discover Your Why to Develop Your Personal Brand 11:00 am–12:30 pm | 1.5 LU

Sponsored by SMPS A personal brand gives you the ability to stand out in a sea of similar people. Your brand is your reputation. It’s your calling card. It’s what you’re known for and how people experience you. It’s about bringing who you are to what you do and how you do it. A positive personal brand encompasses the key traits that embody who you are, highlighting your best qualities such as problem solver, creative thinker, connector, dealmaker, or whatever matters most to you that you are capable of sustaining. Delivering your brand clearly will create a memorable experience, either positively or negatively. The easiest way to share your brand is to have something to say, when people ask, you tell them about

yourself. You should already know how you would answer this question.

Remember, you want the person to leave knowing your favorite traits about yourself, enough to get them interested in getting to know more about you.

This session will take you through the key insights into how sharing your WHY connects people at a deeper level and will take you through exercises to develop your personal WHY and create your WHY driven elevator pitch.

Sponsored by SMPS

Sponsored by SMPS In this highly competitive environment, forward-thinking firms are realizing that creating an unrivalled client experience (CX) is truly the key to creating genuine differentiation and sustained competitive advantage. A client’s experience is the cumulative impact of every single touch point and interaction they have with a firm. While CX is every employee’s job, creating and implementing an effective CX program doesn’t happen in a vacuum—someone must own the program. And marketing departments are in the best position to “quarterback” the end-to-end customer experience in their firms. Leveraging real-world examples, this session will help attendees understand how to create a standout CX program for their firm. They’ll gain actionable insights to help make the case for marketing’s ownership of the end-to-end client experience and the steps and tools needed to make it happen.

With the acceleration of social media, how does marketing know if their strategies are working? Do you understand your AI data? If you are planning to build and launch an A/E firm, growth is what you should be concerned with and prepared for. How exactly can you architect a strategy, without breaking the bank, while engaging with the community and building a Rockstar firm? Practical strategic approaches with marketing data involves more than visualization or applying the latest MarTech tool.

Relationship building, intuition, domain knowledge, and reasonable approximations can mean the difference between a successful campaign and a catastrophic failure. We’ll dive into best practices I’ve extracted from solving real marketing/BD problems like: turning strategic plans into actions, recalculating mid-trip, expanding social networks organically, turning problems into solutions, working backwards, and testing SEO advertising while contributing to society. We’ll explore real world cases and expect active learning and social interaction. With the constant changing environment of marketing/BD, we often get lost when marketing strategies fail in real world situations. Drawing inspiration from the scientific method, statistical analysis techniques in engineering, and social justice, we will walk through examples that illustrate creative solutions and solve marketing problems with real proven data.

The Devil in the Details: Leveraging Brand via Architecture 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU Brand is defined as the distinctive characteristics of a business. It is the expressed personality of a company committed to a set of core missions and goals. A company’s brand is its lifeblood. Customers and employees alike are expecting corporations to live up to the standards they set. How does that ambiguous noun—brand—translate into the design of a company’s physical space? In a time where companies are facing massive challenges in recruiting and retaining talent in an ever changing market, a company’s brand has become a major part of its draw. Office design must take into consideration the attitudes, ideals, and intentions of the corporation and create a place that not only supports them, but nourishes them and allows them to thrive. This lively presentation focuses on what brand means for a company; what it means in the design of a workplace; how to achieve a space that feels exceptionally unique without sacrificing functionality or financial responsibility on the part of the user. We’ll also engage the audience in exercises on how to find the essence of a company’s brand; how do we create a vision for a project and design; how that vision can support the bottom line.

Do you know that the ADA requires accessibility in employee only areas and the Mass access regs do not? Mass covers private residential and the ADA does not? In this workshop, we cover critical areas where the regulations of the Massachusetts Architectural Access Board and the ADA Standards differ: alterations, vertical access, toilet rooms, ramps, technical infeasibility, variances, to name a few. We will also discuss where the requirements conflict and present a few resolutions. Finally, since the ADA is a civil rights law, we will review accessibility requirements for older building not planning alterations.

Noise/sound problems seem to sneak up on architects and MEP engineers more and more. One day you are getting complaints that there’s an echo in a new multi-story glass lobby, and the next day a neighbor to one of your buildings is complaining about a loud AHU on the roof. What to do? Hire an acoustical engineer, but now you are inundated by new set of unfamiliar terminology. Decibel here and dB there. Now what? This program will help architects, engineers and building owners understand basic acoustic terms and metrics. The session will include a discussion of sound weighting metrics, and statistical descriptors such as LN’s and LEQ will be explained in common sense terms. How does noise level differ from noise exposure? This too will be covered, along with an explanation of the uses of each type of acoustical metric. We will also review the various noise limits from Federal, state and local authorities and how are they specified.

The session will include case studies, and a few exercises in measuring various acoustical parameters (including noise logging and room acoustics) will be demonstrated with live professionalgrade instrumentation.

ADA Updates 2018 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU|HSW Please join the annual update on the Americans with Disabilities Act. We will review the work the U.S. Access Board has done over the past year, items in the accessibility pipeline, new technical assistance material and research projects.

Multifamily Development: Beyond the Building Code Basics 3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW The presentation focuses on all things multifamily relating to fire and life safety code compliance. A walk through the building codes as well as fire and life safety standards is guided by an experienced code consulting professional.

As-of-right compliance strategies as well as alternative methods are explored for topics that include, but are not limited to, podium construction, fireresistance ratings, sprinkler protection, accessibility, occupancy separation, NPFA 285, and roofdecks. Chosen topics for the presentation were largely based on industry interest and actual project experience. Case studies are used to illustrate the intent of the code.

Learning Objectives: 1. Understand the relevant code requirements affecting multifamily construction projects. 2.

Understand where complying as-of-right with local fire and life safety codes is essential to the safety of the occupants.

3. Identify areas of the code in which compliance alternatives are common and where variances from the prescriptive requirements can potentially be achieved.

4. Understand what’s new in the fire and life safety industry related to multifamily buildings and which topics will have the biggest impact on projects.

Building Code Requirements for Exterior Walls 11:00 am–12:30 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW Exterior wall construction has been the center of attention for a number of large fires occurring recently around the world. The materials and construction methods for exterior walls are constantly evolving as design teams seek to improve building performance while also incorporating the desired aesthetic appeal. With these new design methods comes new code requirements to ensure the safety of building occupants and firefighters is maintained. In this presentation, we will cover the different materials and methods that are permitted by the codes and how they came to be. This will cover the requirements as they pertain to fire separation distance, fire resistance ratings, allowable openings, combustible materials, foam plastics, and other pertinent subjects as they relate to exterior wall construction.

Built to Grow: Talent Management for Architects 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU Too often, A/E/C firms run the risk of prioritizing design management over people management. In today’s evolving marketplace, talent management is proving to be much more than glorified babysitting. Quite the opposite in fact, it’s become a leading indicator of success. Firms that want to design, build, AND make money at the same time need smart talent management strategies linked closely to their business objectives. What is talent management? Smart recruiting, onboarding, training and development, performance management, succession planning, diversity, and employee engagement. This interactive session will cover all of the above and prove that managing talent is much more than adventures in babysitting.

Design for Happiness 11:00 am–12:30 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW The most common and recurrent goal of human beings is happiness. One of the most powerful tools to create environments that promote happiness is design. During the past decade there has been plenty of research around happiness, but very few development and participation from the Built Environment, so how can we promote among designers a vision that through design we can help individuals reach the happiness desired? Design is a magic crystal that helps you visualize your environment as it could be, not as it is... thou design is the turning point of transformation, future definition, and happiness.

Practice Paradigms brings together two architects and an urban planner/urban designer to discuss the rapidly evolving trends with design practice. Emerging business models are moving away from conventional design practice and towards convergence and transdisciplinarity. These trends are empowered by creativity, collaboration and enhanced communication as a result of technology. Challenges to the traditional design firm are coming from many directions. On the one hand, consolidation continues to take place with large corporate conglomerates actively seeking to acquire small and mid-size firms that specialize. At the same time, an entrepreneurial ethic has cultivated niche firms and virtual practices that can compete, in teams, on the global stage. New technology and project delivery models are increasing competition and blurring the boundaries between traditional practice silos.

Who has time to work on continuous improvement for our companies, our projects, and ourselves? How about finding relevant lessons learned for our challenging projects that reside within our own companies as well as our partners? How about identifying, developing, or testing new ideas for improving the quality of the workday and work environment for our colleagues and ourselves? Anyone can, if they make it a priority for personal growth and corporate strategy. In this session, we will discuss the efforts of around a dozen companies that regularly work on projects in the Boston metro area to establish an Owner-Architect-Engineer-Contractor Peer Learning Lab (OAEC-PLL).

This group was formed to discuss and improve the processes around Project Team Alignment, Owner Decisionmaking, Management of Design & Delivery Processes, and Knowledge Management. Our mission is to “Build a Project Culture that Fosters Respect and Trust through Collaborative Learning and Experimentation.” We will review how our group established our mission and goals, determined the nature of our interaction (e.g., discussions, office visits), shared our lessons learned, and conducted our small experiments. In doing so, we hope to inspire audience members to consider forming their own peer learning labs to do the same.

Taking Care of Our Talent 11:00 am–12:30 pm | 1.5 LU Throughout the A/E/C industry, demands for excellence are high and burn out, to one degree or another, is familiar to many. The panel will identify common principles in the successful holistic approaches that today’s thought leaders in other high-performance industries have implemented to combat the stress of working in a demanding industry. The panel will discuss how to apply these successful practices to the A/E/C Industry. For example one panelist will be sharing a story about a local technology university that developed a theater program as a creative outlet for non-theater majors to combat self-harm incidents. Following the panel the attendees will break out into small group each moderated by one of the panelists to brainstorm solutions to the specific issues that the attendees face in their careers. The goal is for attendees to leave empowered with actionable ideas that they can implement in their circles.

3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU Agile methodologies were conceived as a solution to the behemoth software development processes of the 1980s.

Slow, isolated, cumbersome, and difficult to adapt to changing customer needs, these older workstyles quickly lost favor when it became apparent that constant communication and collaboration was needed for success.

While management styles changed, workplaces were slow to adapt.

Today’s Agile workplaces need to be more than just a collection of seating arrangements. In this session, we’ll talk about some of the common beliefs around Agile workspaces, and look at the physical and psychological needs that must be addressed to ensure success for these new work practices.

Taking cues from the Agile Manifesto, we’ll break down the myths, confirm some home truths, and find our way around obstacles to help you design workspaces that are as flexible and energetic as the teams that work in them.

Air Infiltration Reduction Testing: A Pilot Program 11:00 am–12:30 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW In their quest for deeper energy savings, many projects seek energy conservation measures (ECMs) opportunities focused on the building enclosure, in addition to the efficient HVAC systems and efficiency lighting equipment based savings. The Air Infiltration Reduction Pilot Program seek to demonstrate cost effective means to increase the Multi-Family program savings through air infiltration reduction beyond Code, combined with Advanced Enclosure Performance and High Efficiency HVAC systems. The team included National Grid’s Strategy Group, SMMA’s Sustainability and Energy Group and ICF. The pilot program evaluation included application of air infiltration testing standards and methodology in support to advanced air infiltration reduction design and construction best practices. The program measured the air infiltration reduction energy savings through whole building enclosure air tightness testing on 6 high rise high performance multi-family facilities. The objective was to assess the feasibility of developing an energy conservation measure [ECM] within the multi-family incentives program, as well as informing its potential application to other utility commercial and institutional (C&I) incentives programs.

The Double Wall – Overcladding an Existing Building 11:00 am–12:30 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW Taking existing, occupied buildings offline to complete extensive facade repairs to address leakage, deteriorated or damaged facade elements, insufficient energy performance, or aesthetic upgrades can be challenging. Moving and temporarily relocating the building occupants and providing temporary data and communication systems in order to allow a business to continue to function can make an extensive facade rehabilitation project unappealing.

owners are considering keeping the existing facade in place and overcladding the exterior, thereby eliminating the need to move the occupants and disturb interior finishes and mechanical systems along the exterior walls. This presentation will discuss design considerations and construction challenges of overcladding existing facades. It will cover the interior and exterior aesthetic impacts, implications and possible upgrades to the existing building structure, design of the new structure to support the new cladding, and design considerations for the interstitial space between the new and existing walls. We will discuss case studies illustrating overcladding strategies; one case study will utilize a curtain wall overclad and another on a historic facade that will utilize a masonry cladding to replicate the historic features of the original facade.

Renderings Don’t Count 1:30 pm–3:00 pm | 1.5 LU Renderings Don’t Count is about realizing the vision on the most ambitious designs. Our case studies illustrate ways these designs have been achieved and the process and technologies used. The case studies include structures, facades and in most cases the holistic integration of both to find synergies, efficiency and thermal performance. The solutions use conventional systems in unconventional ways; advanced materials such as ultra high performance concrete, reinforced polymers, carbon fiber and structural glass. The discussion will not just be about the solution to the problem but why the solution was chosen. When designing these systems, the answer to “Why?” is important to achieving the most appropriate solution to the project’s challenges, whether they be geometry, performance, efficiency, or cost. The course will demonstrate how early collaboration of a skilled team can help make even the most challenging designs evolve from rendering to built work.

Precon Perspectives on Building Enclosure: Design to Reality 3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU A successful preconstruction phase is critical to designing and executing highperformance enclosures. It is during this time that the architect, consultants, and contractor must work collaboratively to translate design intent and performance requirements into physical reality.

Presented from the perspective of an architect, enclosure consultant, and contractor, this interactive session will focus on three key activities which lead up to construction: trade delegation and coordination, the submittal and shop drawing review process, and physical mock-up construction and performance testing. The three panelists will share their viewpoints primarily through the lens of two institutional projects, which will serve as case studies. This discussion will walk through the preconstruction process, highlighting challenges both technical and organizational. To help attendees translate the session to their own work and practice, the session will end with the panelist sharing their own lessons learned and best practice recommendations, along with the moderator engaging the audience to share their perspective on similar experiences and challenges.

A History of Core Sunlighting 3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW Natural lighting is the most efficient form of renewable power because it is used immediately for its native properties without conversion to another medium and attendant losses. While the health benefits of natural light are well known, it can be difficult to provide in a densely built environment. According to the Illuminating Engineering Society, “Active core sunlighting is the process of intercepting sunlight at the envelope of a building with solar tracking optics, transporting it, and directing it within the building so as to provide appropriate illumination for a host of ambient, task and accent lighting applications.” As technological advances with mirrored systems and controls make the technique more practical it is useful to see examples of successes and failures over the years. Although mirrored systems for bringing light into buildings have been attempted since the mid-1800’s, recent advances in controls and materials show promise for more sophisticated results. As cities become more densely built, access to daylight from within buildings becomes more difficult to achieve. Active core sunlighting can be a tool to support the viability of cities, sustainable design and a healthy built environment by bringing natural light deep into the interior of a building.

Overcoming Design Challenges of High Performance Envelopes 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU Critical in the design of high performance building envelopes is the early identification of energy targets coupled with early-stage thermal and building energy modeling. Together the targets and analysis serve to guide an iterative design process from system selection through project delivery. Three institutional projects will serve as case studies. All three projects represent signature expansion of their respective campuses with energy targets 40% below their ASHRAE benchmarks and meeting the 2030 Commitment.

This discussion will walk through the integrated process utilizing parametric modeling, daylight and glazing analysis, physical mock-ups, on-site testing and a design assist delivery method to ensure and performance of their envelopes met the project requirements at every step. Although their energy targets and design processes were similar, the solutions demonstrate wide ranging possibilities from highly customized form-giving sunshades, orchestration of standard components and minimalist design.

Trouble with the Curve 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU Recent trends in architectural design have not only increased the demand for complex geometry, but also the desire for high performance and transparent facades. While free-form curvilinear geometries may be achieved through the use of warm-bending techniques such as hot bending and lamination bending, the associated fabrication costs tend to be prohibitively expensive when compared Owner & Producer: Informa Exhibitions | Founder & Presenter: Boston Society of Architects/AIA

to traditional flat glass and often require strict manufacturing and installation tolerances. Cold bending allows for the realization of curved glass facades at a reduced fabrication premium, however it is usually limited to large radius, single curvature applications. The development of new parametric modeling tools and advances in computational analysis design of free-form architectural geometry have facilitated the rationalization of complex doublecurved facades using singly-curved panels. Technological developments in both façade engineering and the glass industry have yielded a broad array of opportunities for the application of cold-bending techniques which were previously limited by geometric complexity as well as the capability of fabricators. This workshop will explore some basic principles of cold-bending as well as its aesthetic implications in order to afford architects, façade engineers and other industry professional with a more comprehensive understanding about the potential prospects and pitfalls associated with curved glass.

Unitized Facade Systems: Options, Trends, Lessons Learned 1:30 pm–3:00 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW Prefabricated building enclosure systems are growing in popularity as they lend themselves to streamlining construction schedules and reducing overall construction costs while offering the potential for increased quality due to assembly in controlled factory environments. The current market for prefabricated wall systems is diverse and extensive, ranging from precast concrete wall panels to unitized glass and metal curtain wall systems. The presentation will discuss various approaches to panelization/ unitization of facade systems and the practical advantages and disadvantages of each, focusing on large shop-fabricated sections of the enclosure or also known as “megapanels.” The presenters will cover topics such as design, installation/ constructability, coordination, durability, weatherproofing, thermal performance, and other practical considerations.

Highlighting case studies of their past projects, they will discuss common issues that can occur during design and construction and how to prevent them to get the most benefit from a unitized system.

Integrated Design with Early HVAC Sizing

Glazing Systems: State of the Industry and Lessons Learned

1:30 pm–3:00 pm | 1.5 LU

3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU

Design aesthetics and energy performance are often believed to be at odds with one another. However, if addressed early in design through collaboration with architects and engineers, they can complement and strengthen each other. The patient room design for a new inpatient hospital in Boston highlights a successful workflow between the design team and engineers to shape the façade to meet the client’s aesthetic aspirations while hitting energy reduction targets through early HVAC sizing. Multiple questions shaped the analysis and design process throughout the schematic design phase.

The panelists will explain the evolution of the project and how these questions directly shaped the façade of the patient rooms. A few of the factors explored will be the optimal angle of façade serration, type and size of glazing, perimeter heating system, capacity and limitations of chilled beams, validation of E+ against TRANE Trace, and family zone lay-out and comfort. Close collaboration between architects and engineers allowed for a well-informed early HVAC design for the patient rooms to reduce total energy usage and maintain a compelling aesthetic strategy. The panelists will elaborate on lessons learned and tips for successful teamwork.

Modern day enclosure and glazing systems are complex and to produce a design that is both high-performance and constructible, coordination between various systems is critical. In addition, contractors, engineers, and architects are always working to minimize conflicts throughout the design and construction process. We will provide an overview of glazing system options and the variety of forms they come in and explain some of the design challenges and performance limitations between each system. We will also discuss the advantages of early analysis envelope design to facilitate detailing, waterproofing, and optimization for construction installation of primarily window and window wall systems. We will also discuss the most common issues we see during design and construction highlighting examples from past projects.

Regenerative Development and Design (or, healing the world in 18 months — truly possible, if. . .) We have all the physical technologies we need to heal the earth — right now. Deep Green Buildings and Infrastructure, Organizational Development ‘technologies’, Polycanopy farming, holistic management, and permaculture techniques can begin to bring back a healthy trajectory and harmony between humans and ‘nature’ in 18 months. The same principles apply to human development and social systems as well as habitat. Living systems thinking applies to all of life. So, what’s slowing us down? How can we shift our organization and business practices to effectively engage, motivate, and learn what’s required for meaningful and rapid change? Bill Reed will introduce the foundational living system processes that are the basis for the practice of Regenerative Development and Design.

Biodiversity, Climate Change and the Built Environment 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU|HSW The Architectural profession has been among the leaders in addressing the problems of greenhouse emissions and the AIA has taken some fairly strong positions on going further. However, while greenhouse emissions are part of the problem of climate change, they are only a part. The wider issues around climate change include a much broader destruction of the biological systems that support life on this planet. We as architects need to educate ourselves on the issues of biodiversity and find ways to address these issues in our designs to start reversing climate change. This presentation will introduce you to this wider picture, the larger issues in our climate future and what we as a profession can do to promote climatic healing.

Punching Above Your Weightclass 3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU While LEED v4 Silver is a worthwhile goal, we know that it represents the “middle of the pack,” not the leading edge of high performance. Our contract with a university client for a new 210,000 square foot 300-bed student housing project required only that level of certification, but we thought it would be possible to deliver greater value by targeting more aggressive sustainability goals, specifically the Passive House standards and the Living Building Challenge Materials Petal. By demonstrating that these more ambitious goals could be delivered within the same design and construction budget, we moved the needle and provided a significantly better project.

We will provide key findings associated with energy modeling, solar shading, water management, healthy materials, and high-performance building envelope.

Optimizing Energy in Water Harvesting and Recycling 3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW With water in short supply in many areas of the world, the desire to expand the use of rainwater harvesting and water recycling is ever increasing — but are these systems increasing total energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions? In this workshop, Derek Anderson of Arup will present a new approach for assessing the full life cycle energy consumption of rainwater harvesting and water recycling systems. This will include estimating and comparing energy demands of on-site water collection, treatment, and distribution systems to the embedded energy in local municipal water supply and combined sewer treatment systems. Methods for optimizing both water and energy consumption will be demonstrated through case studies. The workshop will also include a discussion on weighting relevant sustainability criteria, including water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, flood risk, water quality, economics, and resilience.

Photovoltaics and Their Impact on Roofing Assemblies 6:00 pm–7:30 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW As the demand for renewable energy sources is increasing and more energy programs are available, photovoltaic (PV) arrays are being installed on roof areas more frequently. Proper planning when considering installing PV arrays can greatly reduce the potential for roof

leaks, voided roof warranties, structural damage, and unnecessary expenses.

These considerations should include evaluation of the existing roof system and planning for the installation of a roof top PV system, selection of the appropriate PV system for the building, design of the PV system attachment to the building and roof, design of roof repairs or roof replacement in conjunction with the PV installation, maintenance of the roof and PV arrays, and evaluation of the costs associated with each phase. Specifically, the owner and designer should review the condition and warranty duration of the existing roof system, the available capacity of the existing structure, options for PV systems and attachments, roof manufacturer limitations, life safety for maintenance, fire safety, and the appropriate coordination of the various tradesmen before, during, and after construction.

Thinking BIG & Small: A 2030 Multi-Building Improvement Plan 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU Planning for big goals, like becoming a Net Zero community, while attending to the smallest details of maintaining and improving a diverse portfolio of buildings is hard. To accomplish this task, Cambridge Dept. of Public Works developed an integrated longterm capital improvement plan that simultaneously moves the city toward its overarching goals while detailing and executing fine-grained emergency and deferred maintenance projects.

It has been an ambitious undertaking with many priorities. The Cambridge Municipal Facilities Improvement Plan (MFIP) is 43-building (1.77 million square feet), 13-year capital planning program designed to achieve a low carbon, energy efficient building portfolio that is resilient, maintainable, accessible, and supportive of occupant well-being and inclusive design. Representatives

from the City, Arup engineering, and ICON Architecture will detail the specific processes of establishing and building consensus around the project’s goals.

They will share data collection and visualization methods, tools developed, initial projects, and lessons learned.

Demystifying Energy Modeling 11:00 am–12:30 pm | 1.5 LU Energy modeling is an integral component of modern building design, especially for projects aiming for high energy efficiency and Net Zero goals.

Having a model in place at the project’s outset can help designers make and communicate design decisions more effectively. Early stage energy modeling allows more decisions to be made with consideration to energy efficiency, and is particularly important for projects with ambitious energy performance goals. So how can architects understand this tool more fully to evaluate the energy consumption of projects early in the design process? What questions are important to ask, and when in the design process should we be asking them? What is driving the differences when engineers arrive at different outcomes for the same project? This workshop will demystify the energy modeling process by creating a dialogue between architects and energy modeling engineers. By bringing different roles and perspectives to the conversation, we will discuss ways to establish productive relationships between all parties involved so that each group is able to see positive outcomes from the process while contributing to environmental sustainability.

Working Towards Carbon Neutral in the City of Cambridge 11:00 am–12:30 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW In 2015, the City of Cambridge took the extraordinary step of committing to a 25-year Net Zero Action Plan, with the goal of transforming the City into a Net Zero community by 2040. The Martin Luther King School and The King Open/ Cambridge Street Upper Schools and Community Complex (KOCSUSCC) are among the City’s first projects to be built under this ambitious mandate.

The Design Team’s took on this lofty charge and developed the site, schools, and community center to meet the Net Zero Emissions challenge. The broader team committed to an energy efficient design and operation of the facilities.

The Martin Luther King School designed their project to LEED V3 and produced 47% of the annual energy required for the building on site. The King Open project utilized the LEED V4 system, and optimized newer technologies to achieve 60% of the Net Zero Goal onsite. To date, Net Zero buildings have been relatively small compared to the 273,000 sf KOCSUSCC and 170,000sf of the Martin Luther King School due to the limitations of current on-site power generating technologies. Join the design teams to discuss the intricacies of Net Zero design on larger scale projects.

Human Responses to Biophilic Design in Buildings 11:00 am–12:30 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW Biophilic design, which incorporates natural elements into the built environment, has received increasing attention in both design and health fields. Epidemiological and experimental studies have provided sufficient evidence that contact with outdoor nature has positive impacts on human health and wellbeing. However, the potential for similar health benefits in indoor biophilic environments remains unclear. This session will introduce two randomized crossover studies conducted by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, which examine the physiological and cognitive responses to biophilic indoor environments by using virtual reality (VR), eye-tracking and wearable biomonitoring sensors. The results indicate that biophilic design may be beneficial in reducing stress and improve cognitive function in indoor environments.

Additionally, the parity in results in virtual and real environments provides evidence that using VR can be an effective tool to simulate visual exposures when access to the real environment is not feasible. The findings on health impacts of biophilic design in buildings could provide useful information for the design community in

This presentation looks at the emerging trend of health and wellness design, as codified within the WELL and Fitwel standards. These standards emerged around 2016 to transform evidence-based research into actionable steps designers, contractors, owners, operators, and tenants can use to positively impact health and wellness across the built environment.

Each represents a different approach towards integration of health into the built environment along a spectrum of potential performance, both building upon the LEEDv4 rating system’s market prevalence so that projects seeking “efficiency” can also prioritize “health.” We will look at the drivers for health and wellness, and then, we will introduce both standards. Each will be explored in terms of their terminology, rules, administrative costs, implementation timelines, team members, scopes, and who is using each standard. The audience will gain insight to each standard, how they are similar or different, and where they might be appropriate for themselves and/or their clients.

Natural Gas, Public Health and Architects 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU|HSW Architects are legally required to adhere to public safety regulations. The fact that Massachusetts regulations have not yet addressed the dangers of natural gas to health doesn’t mean the large dangers don’t exist. Gas pipes leak, and the methane which gets emitted harms both plant roots as well as humans.

The panelists of this workshop will show why these pipes leak, address the health dangers from natural gas leaks, enumerate the medical implications for all communities by the gas leaks, and explain how architects as well as owners can take steps to avoid the negative effects of natural gas. Owners and architects play an important role when considering how to minimize the

Expanding Context: Understanding User Needs and Data Inputs 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU People are using spaces differently, and their needs are becoming more complex.

Data and information are more widely available, and our clients are expecting our recommendations to rely on more than just ‘professional intuition.’ Existing Architectural models of learning mostly from experience are no longer acceptable for client’s seeking a measurably successful design. On the other hand, simply referring to ‘data’ findings without context or interpretation will only result in a partial understanding as flawed as designing in a vacuum. A toolkit of both analytical and empathy-based inputs is required to properly translate user needs and other data-points into a design, and post-occupancy observations are critical to refine these techniques to support ever more complex future requirements.

This session with introduce attendees to the existing and emerging tools available to help designers and architects to better understand their client and user groups needs using a context-driven design approach. It will also highlight findings from post-occupancy research into how spaces are used beyond opening day, and current trends in human-centric design. Integrated into the design process, these tools can allow us to create some truly innovative solutions that will serve our clients from opening day well into the future.

Technical Storytelling: Data Visualization and Architecture 3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU Architecture, like so many professions, is being inundated with more and more data. This session will explore how architects can use data and data visualization at all phases of project design and planning to influence their projects. Impactful data visualizations and explorations can help architects

gain insight into their own practice and communicate technical stories to clients and colleagues in order to influence design and drive change within a practice. This session will explore how data visualizations can be used to understand user behavior, develop planning paradigms, enhance building design, understand environmental and occupant impacts and tune building performance. The presentation will demonstrate how we are using data visualizations across our own practice to better understand an array of issues.

Speakers include a building scientist, a 3D visualization expert, a science and lab planner, and an architect all who been leading efforts to integrate data visualization techniques into the practice.

Frank Lloyd Wright reminds us that, “Every great architect is — necessarily — a great poet. (S)he must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.” We designers are surrounded by fast changing trends. Which trends should we follow and which should we ignore? How can we avoid being lured by a trend? Or should we give in? How can we foresee which architectural trends will define the next decade and beyond?

Architecture leaves a long standing print.

It is not as flexible as interior design or fashion industry. Buildings cannot easily change their look. So how can we make a building attractive and relevant not only for today‘s, but for tomorrow’s generation as well? In this session we will explore the rise, life and decay of some recent trends using both case studies and concepts.

We would investigate psychological, technological and social reasons behind trends and which have a solid base and chance to survive and become an ”architectural language,” and which are likely to become outdated quickly. We will discuss the core and features timeless verses trendy design.

Modeling and simulation have changed the design process and the way professionals in the A/E/C industry collaborate with one another. With this new power, we have a means of communicating that brings clients, facility managers, building users, and designers together to experience design concepts in a way that drawings and specifications never could. Yet, this shift involves much more than simple visual representations plugged into a pair of VR goggles. Every day, simulation programs reshape how clients experience a wide range of design factors: simulations of thermal performance, daylighting and lighting density, and acoustical properties now allow us to see, feel, and hear how design decisions affect the finished product before laying a single brick.

These modeling techniques allow designers to understand building performance in an accurate and detailed way. Evaluating scenarios on a building scale, room scale, and down to the material of the screws in exterior wall assembly anticipates challenges and invites design solutions during design rather than possible corrective action post-occupancy. This discussion brings together leaders in the design profession that discuss the role that modeling and simulation play in the design process now, and what the future may hold.

Over the last few years, the American Institute of Architects has focused on and expended considerable energy and resources on diversity and inclusion within the profession of architecture.

After decades of being dominated by white men, recognition has been given to the idea that women and minorities need to play a larger role and given greater consideration if the profession is going to survive. Committees have been formed. Surveys have been conducted.

Reports issued. Conferences held.

However, the discussion about diversity and inclusion often stops at women and minorities. How is the LGBTQ+ community being considered as part of those discussions? As members of AIA, if we are going to talk about diversity and inclusion, if we are going to have that conversation, then the AIA needs to include everyone, not just the individuals that fit a visible criteria.

LGBTQ+ architects, already an integral part of the architecture community, are in the position of being the silent minority. To be truly inclusive, the AIA needs to listen to LGBTQ+ voices and include their input as new policies are being made.

Modernism, with its revolutionary stylistic and social agendas, reached New England in full force during the mid 20th century. Here it merged with ideas about nature and man’s relationship to it, political and financial currents that promoted suburban development, and an established trend of communitarian and utopian visions. Pioneers like TAC and Walter Pierce designed and developed modernist communities with an ethos of serving the middle class, promoting social engagement, and creating buildings and neighborhoods that integrated with and celebrated their natural surroundings. These ambitious developments were supported in their early (and in some cases ongoing) years by residents, who through grassroots efforts crafted the social fabric of their communities. Neighborhood associations organized social activities, safeguarded common land from future development, and created lasting physical amenities for common use.

What can we learn from these volunteers and community builders? How did the physical environments of mid-century developments support the social orders they sought to achieve? What tools and characteristics best enabled their successes and where did they fail?

Perhaps most critically, this panel will explore how these lessons can inform future development by considering current examples of projects that aim to create collaboration and social engagement through physical form.

What should owners budget for cost escalation in the current economy?

What pricing structure should we use to accurately estimate costs for projects? This presentation will explore trends in real exchange rates, construction volumes, and major global construction inputs such as oil, steel and copper. Conclusions from these trends will provide the attendees with the understanding of micro and macro economic drivers and their role in construction costs. We will examine and evaluate macroeconomic leading indicators such as equities, GDP and job creation to establish which economic gear we are in now for this economic expansion. Using this information we will present a construction weather map for the country and forecast where construction costs will likely trend over the next 2 years. Through the Reconciliation Tracker, we will provide data and metrics from hundreds of reconciled projects. We will examine how pricing levels have changed and advise what we expect for 2018 and 2019. Lastly, we will analyze two case studies of construction procurement and provide guidance on effective ways to procure projects in an escalating market. How will your procurement schedule affect costs? How can you use procurement to strategically minimize your exposure to construction escalation?

Where’s the Architecture in Smart Buildings?

8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU This year we have seen an increasing interest in Internet of Things (IoT) and incorporating it into our physical environments. Such as connected utilities, security, parking etc with sensors and apps to optimize resources and to increase user experience. The current marketplace portrays building can be made smart by plugging in a series of sensors, algorithms, apps and use of smart products, (such as smart window systems, furniture systems, solar energy). We believe architecture have a greater role to play, than being an aesthetic shell, in the making of a smart building. Join us in this workshop to examine what makes building smart, the role of architecture design in Smart Buildings, the impact of IoT in how we approach architecture and what the possible outcomes are in the various integration of technology and design.

OCPTD – Integrated Project Delivery at the Cleveland Clinic 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU The Cleveland Clinic has developed a project delivery method they call the Owner Controlled Team Project Delivery (OCTPD). By connecting Owner, Architect, and CM through a series of team building workshops and sharing all information on design, construction costs and schedule, the Owner, Architects, and Construction Manager were able to take joint ownership for the project’s success.

Empowering participants to take action has also made the project safer and more productive. Early in the project, the Construction Manager reviewed the Architect’s drawings for phasing, constructability, and cost. In construction, the Architect had a full-time presence in the Construction Manager’s trailer and provided real-time. This level of “In the Tent” collaboration led to a collegiality not often found on a jobsite. “You have to build the culture before you build the structure” David Doren, Owner’s PM. The success of OCTPD projects at the Clinic span architecture, budgeting, and client satisfaction.

Best Value Pre-cast Facades: Design Assist/integrated Design 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU As an increasing number of concrete buildings of the late 20th century are renovated, the advantages of new architectural precast cladding with an almost unlimited variety of appearances become desirable as a way to bridge between existing and new. The challenge is how to address aesthetics, constructability and cost in a manner which achieves the best value. Using as a case study, the recent expansion of Fairfield University’s student center, a panel consisting of owner, architect, contractor and pre-cast fabricator will describe the successful design-assist process, which relied on an integrated team approach. Stiff budget and schedule requirements were major drivers, but still allowed the design to embrace custom sizes and details like tapered shapes, line-work, and multiple finishes. Ultimately 10,450 square feet of decorative precast panels were installed in six days. Using the design-assist delivery system, the project successfully met the budget and schedule requirements with a design endorsed by the University Trustees.

Leveraging the Design-Build Method to Transform Campus Life The New England Institute of Technology’s first-ever residence hall was completed in Fall 2017, and it has already had a transformative impact on the school’s culture. To achieve this outcome, the project team (consisting of the Owner, Program Manager, Construction Manager, and Architect) employed specific strategies to leverage the Design-Build method’s typical benefits relating to cost and schedule, while also achieving excellence in both design and construction quality. The session will highlight key moments in the project timeline, including the initial programming and budgeting assessment, Design-Builder selection process, collaborative design, and construction. The team’s strategies are replicable and scalable and will be of interest to designers, builders, and owners. The panel looks forward to a spirited dialogue and aspires to engage the audience throughout the presentation.

3 Cities, 3 Architects, 1 Project: Digital Age Collaboration 3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU Projects are becoming increasingly complex, requiring team of specialists and collaboration among multiple architecture firms. This presentation brings together three architecture firms from three cities for the first mass timber student housing in the United States, Stadium Drive Housing Complex at University of Arkansas. We will share the collaborative design process that leveraged each firm’s specialty under a singular Design Collective to realize the University’s vision for a live-learn community of students and faculty built with crosslaminated timber structure as a model for active learning and sustainable

living. Bridging Boston, Fayetteville, and St. Louis, the Design collective of Leers Weinzapfel Associates, Modus Studio, and Mackey Mitchell Architects led the client team of the University’s facilities management, campus planning, and housing departments through a step by step process that identified the risks and rewards of being the first in the country to implement this new construction type for student housing.

Principals from the three firms will share their recipe of aspirational vision, mutual respect, leadership rotation, strategic planning, and use of both analog and digital tools that mitigated risks and achieved consensus among numerous stakeholders.

Through materials, programming, systems, and detailing choices, designers can accommodate a range of budgets while creating an educational environment where students can thrive. We’ll discuss the key drivers in the costs of Massachusetts public school design– making critical design choices for high quality learning environments; cost effective and responsible methods that deliver high quality learning environments; using life cycle analysis

of materials and systems; and design choices to promote reasonable and appropriate expenditures decisions by clients. Using MSBA funded and charter school project experiences, the panel will give insight into cost-effective K-12 academic design and construction.

Avoiding Paving Problems on Waterproofed Decks 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU|HSW The architectural industry has extensive information how to design successful waterproofing systems for plazas and podiums including numerous published presentations and articles, and the reliability of plaza waterproofing has steadily improved over the years. Many of the problems experienced on plazas and podiums today are related to the paving systems installed over the top of the waterproofing. Paving over waterproofing is prone to cracking, shifting, heaving, piling, staining, crumbling, premature deterioration, and other problems if not properly designed and installed. This presentation focuses on designing and installing highperforming and durable paving systems over waterproofed decks. It will cover issues such as paving systems, setting beds, joint construction, and joint layout.

We will review how to avoid staining and cracking problems in paving, and in particular, paving over waterproofing.

Sponsored by WID Y2Y Harvard Square, a student-run 24-hour shelter and gathering place for homeless young adults, utilizes a youthto-youth model for a safe, affirming environment. It provides community, shelter, meals, health care and services in a church basement. Studio G Architects and SHED Studio engaged homeless youth in the design process to create spaces that meet the needs of young adults who have experienced trauma and require tailored services and spaces.

Y2Y feels like a modern hostel, not a shelter: Youth enter a lounge, with varied sitting areas to socialize, gather for peer groups, and share meals. A health outpost and offices are arrayed along the edges gives access to support and health services. Homeless LGBTQ youth raised concerns about genderidentified spaces, resulting in genderneutral sleeping spaces and bathrooms.

Custom-built ‘capsule’ bunks have shutters for individual privacy, perforated walls for supervision, and individual storage units, lamps and charging stations. The panel will discuss the Y2Y model of youth to youth support and organizing; the process Y2Y and the architects utilized to engage homeless youth in visioning, programming; the resulting design, which breaks ground in gender inclusivity and trauma-informed design; and the potentially broad social impact of this replicable model.

Revitalizing the Iconic Christian Science Plaza 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU Originally designed by I. M. Pei & Partners and Araldo Cossutta, Associated Architects, in the 1960s, The First Church of Christ, Scientist’s (TFCCS) 14-acre plaza is a privately owned publicly accessible open space. The original landscape architecture, reflective of its time, includes seating and trees that formed barriers and is not aligned with the current vision of TFCCS to provide a welcoming outdoor urban oasis for the surrounding community. The original concrete materials are failing and the reflecting pool has been leaking into the garage below. This workshop will focus on the revitalization of the plaza, including modernizing the pedestrian visitor experience and solving the complex technical challenges of the 70,000 sf reflecting pool while being

sensitive to its landmarked status.

Sustainability goals and implementation of water efficiency measures, while maintaining the important reflectivity of the pool will be discussed. And, with several adjacent projects in development, including the construction of a large tower, the team will address “Logistical Harmony” or orchestrating the plaza scope while keeping community paths maintained and the church operational.

The $60M reconstruction of the plaza began in the Fall of 2016 with a targeted reopening date in the Spring of 2019.

Existing Conditions Assessment for Small Projects 11:00 am–12:30 pm | 1.5 LU The cost and schedule impact of discovering building deficiencies during the later stages of a project are significant. This is particularly true

for small projects, where the fees for pre-design condition assessment, and consultant services, are typically limited. This workshop will introduce attendees to a structured, quantitative building assessment technique that can assist in identifying deficiencies and identify areas which may require further exploration. This session will introduce the tools required to perform a qualitative assessment as well as provide a stepby-step guide to ensure that the most important building systems are reviewed.

The session will provide an overview of the key building systems to assess, typical deficiencies expected in buildings of a certain age, and the signs indicating potential problems by referring to case studies. This session will also introduce a number of helpful tools to consider when performing an assessment. The target audience for this session is practitioners involved in small residential and commercial projects wishing to learn more about existing condition assessment.

High Performance Exterior Rehabilitation

Repositioning of Suburban Two Story Office and R&D Buildings

Air-tight construction in the U.S. has become common in the last decade but the vast majority of our existing building stock still features traditional exterior envelopes. Typically, these fall well short of today’s energy benchmarks. Confronted with the choice to renovate or build new, institutional owners are faced with a choice of accepting a number of risks versus high expense. The initial savings of renovating can be considerable compared to new construction but, inappropriate or incomplete exterior solutions may not be sufficiently effective to justify their expense and may introduce new unforeseen exterior envelope issues. As preair-tight buildings continue to age and degrade, this issue will pose an ongoing challenge with significant cost and performance implications.

When does it makes sense to renovate vs build new? What procedural tools are available to assure conforming results? This presentation will examine financial and constructability factors at play. The recently completed Spurk Classroom building on the Northern Essex Community College campus will serve as a case study. Representatives from the architect and the exterior consultant will relate their perspectives on both the renovation evaluation process as well as the outcome of the project relative to its initial goals.

The two story Digital Equipment, Wang Lab, Apollo Computer, etc., Office and R&D model is obsolete.

Left behind are 100,000 sf empty or under utilized shells along the Route 128 and 495 corridors. This workshop will discuss the design and engineering inefficiencies of these buildings and creative design and engineering options to facilitate the redevelopment of them. It will review how to take advantage of this market, repositioning them for redevelopment and profitability. This building market phenomena has existed for over ten years. With buildings left empty or underutilized, is the time right and are the market conditions there to format a new approach? Is it commercially feasible and profitable or is it time for the wrecking ball? Renovation challenges: Current building conditions; inefficient entry points, oversized atria, outdated and undersized MEP systems, light parking counts, outdated facades, code compliance issues, small floor plates, low clear heights, energy code issues...to name some of the issues.

Design challenges: To attract today’s high tech and service companies, a “new look” and new building systems will be required. Radical architectural/ engineering solutions will need to be considered to accommodate their space utilization needs including new entry points and atria with amenities.

With the increase in building stock that has passed their prime as it relates to lobby design, owners are looking not only to breathe new life into these spaces, but also adapt and repurpose their lobbies and common areas as experience centers for their tenants.

From the street to the tenants’ suites, the choreography and careful curation of the user experience can transform an underutilized lobby to a thriving and enlivened third space that attracts and retains tenants. Both urban and suburban case studies will be discussed from the context of the owner and design team. This workshop will focus on the key considerations that must be addressed when formulating, designing, and executing a new lobby and common space concept.

A Strategic Framework for Stewardship of State Assets 6:00 pm–7:30 pm | 1.5 LU As is common with many institutional owners, the Commonwealth faces a significant backlog of deferred maintenance in addition to the need for updated capital infrastructure to support on-going and new models of government services. By necessity, the decisions we make together with our user agency clients to prioritize and identify solutions to their capital needs must include multiple ways to solve the problem — the level of straight capital investment for new or fully renovated facilities that’s needed is not achievable within the current economic constraints. Creative solutions including leasing, targeted capital investment, public/private partnerships, and even adjustments to ways of doing business must be employed for us to be responsive to needs within a balanced budget. DCAMM leadership is engaged in several initiatives to identify alternatives to solve the problem, in the context of the limited capital resources and the changing nature of state services, to ensure we are landing on the most strategic approach to solving facility needs. Our panel, representing Real Estate, Capital Planning and Facilities Management perspectives will explain the guiding principles behind our approaches and provide examples of successful processes that are driving more cost-effective and comprehensive solutions for the Commonwealth.

We converted it into two spacious two-story three bedroom apartments by optimizing the layout. With the new very efficient building envelope, and HVAC systems, appliances and fixtures and with the added hybrid solar collectors, the house produced more energy than it consumes. We will describe our strategies and what equipment worked well and what caused problems and how occupant behavior has affected the energy consumption and indoor air quality.

How to Prepare Buildings for Shared Mobility and Autonomy 8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU The challenge of planning for the coming automated mobility revolution is posing increasing risks for land developers and municipal officials. On one hand, the development community sees the potential of reduced auto ownership translating into car-free developments with no need to invest millions in parking garages, yet traditional market forces prevail, forcing many to overbuild parking that will become underutilized before the bonds are due. On the other hand, forwardthinking cities have long sought to reduce congestion by reducing parking supplies in return for expanded transit, biking and walking accommodation, yet the sudden demand from developments to build no parking puts officials in a bind when parking demand remains high today. This panel will describe a number of successful interim strategies designed to help developers and municipalities bridge the gap until full autonomy — if it

comes — renders private auto ownership and any on-site parking a thing of the past. By leveraging new zoning tools, parking use data, district management strategies, shared mobility technologies, and several new approaches to garage and site construction, we can help ensure that our urban investments are secure, financially sustainable, and beneficial to the future urban form expected once cars are regularly driving us around.

The Bus Stops Here – Bus Rapid Transit & the Public Realm 11:00 am–12:30 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW Boston’s growth in both population and employment over the past decades has spurred the construction of entirely new neighborhoods and transformed the city’s physical landscape and skyline.

However, the region’s transit system has seen relatively minimal augmentation during this time, an imbalance that has lead to ever-increasing traffic and gridlock that inhibits effective and equitable mobility. One proven solution for enhancing the existing transit system is the introduction of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) along primary

Owner & Producer: Informa Exhibitions | Founder & Presenter: Boston Society of Architects/AIA

transportation corridors. Through a combination of bus lanes, prepaid alldoor boarding, enclosed bus shelters, and signal priority, bus travel can be transformed into a reliable, high-speed mode that makes better and more equitable use of Boston’s notoriously limited streets. While the introduction of high-functioning “gold-standard” BRT is relatively straightforward in gridded cities with wide avenues, “European” cities such as Boston present a unique design challenge. Streets are often narrow, change dimension and direction along their length, and intersect at irregular angles. For high-standard BRT be implemented successfully without cannibalizing recent hardwon streetscape improvements (such as protected bike lanes), designers, advocates, planners, officials, and engineers must come together to design inventive solutions tailored to Boston’s unique circumstances.

The Next Global Transformation of Cities

1:30 pm–3:00 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW

Visionary planning and investment in urban development and the public realm has been a hallmark of progressive cities. In the midst of unprecedented urban growth, continued attention to design excellence will be critical to building and sustaining equitable, healthy, and socioeconomically vibrant communities. This session will consider the role of civic leadership and public engagement in driving design excellence while building and strengthening communities, catalyzing economic development, and inspiring civic pride. Over the past 30 years the Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence (RBA) has explored “the subtle and difficult process of creating excellence in the urban environment.” Since 1987 the RBA has recognized and documented 83 projects from across the United States that illustrate a diversity of approaches to urban development as well as lessons learned and common attributes. What can we learn from past winners to inform our current work and the critical issues faced by Boston and other cities today? This session will incorporate local and national case studies and interactive discussion with people involved in urban design, development, and research to explore how civic engagement can drive design excellence and shape the future of Boston.

Architects shape buildings. Buildings shape cities. But the future of cities is not what it used to be. Social migrations to cities are a world-wide phenomenon, but the twentieth century model of cities has outlived its usefulness. New paradigms are needed for architects, planners, developers as well as regulators. This workshop will hear from John Cleveland, ED of Boston’s Green Ribbon Commission and President of the Innovation Network for Communities, and Philip Norton Loheed, President of Earthos, on how the need to aggressively tackle the realities of climate change is radically shifting the future paradigm of cities.

This new model for urban development changes the way we approach our interdependence with bioregions, ecosystem conservation, social equity and our systems for wealth creation.

The workshop will explore how all participants of society’s construction sector can prepare creatively for this future and accelerate our transition from the modern city paradigm that has dominated society for the last century and a half.

Learning from the Garden City 3:30 pm–5:00 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW The forecasted growth of our city centers for the next decade will push the limits of current city planning and design mechanisms. New strategies will be required to understand and tackle these challenges to urban design and city building in a humanistic and considerate manner. Widely heralded as “The Garden City,” the Republic of Singapore has continually deployed innovative new models for land-use and urban planning, sustainable and efficient transportation systems, and housing programs seeking to improve the quality of life of its citizens. The Republic of Singapore – similar in size to that of the metro Boston region – has faced the issue of high density, mega-scale and livability head-on and with great success. Singapore has quickly become a model for forwardlooking city planning and development.

Singapore may be a long distance from Boston, but there are many take away lessons that, if embraced, can prove useful in guiding Boston, and other North American cities forward.

Following over a decade of work supporting large-scale design and construction projects in Singapore, Jaron Lubin, a Design Principal at Somerville-based Safdie Architects will share his insights from living and working in the Garden City using three recently completed projects as case studies.

Integrating art and history into public outdoor spaces is a successful strategy in creating that “sense of place” that designers strive for. Such elements are usually represented in the built form, providing cues for which visitors can learn from and identify the space with. Through advancements in communication technology, it is possible to drape layers of digital media over the built environment, increasing the depth of the messages being presented. This is augmented reality.

In 2018, 77% of Americans carry smart phones, up from just 35% in 2011. They have become the standard tool for sharing information, and are regularly used in schools, workplaces, and homes.

They have become an effective means of broadcasting messages to a diverse group. Augmented reality applications use a smartphone’s built in GPS and touch screen to function, so there is no hardware or headset required. The only step for the end user is to download an app. This summer, Bostonians will be able to experience augmented reality at Harbor Way, a public plaza in the Seaport’s Innovation District.

Here visitors will experience a series of “stops” each of which will offer uniquely focused physical and digital details about the site’s history.

Boston Groundwater Recharge – Why? How? & Results!

8:30 am–10:00 am | 1.5 LU|HSW In 2006, Article 32 of the City of Boston Zoning Code was implemented thereby creating the Groundwater Conservation Overlay District which requires groundwater recharge for all new/ renovated projects. In the past 12 years, engineers have implemented creative ways to recharge groundwater in the dense urban environment and have also discovered additional environmental benefits. The panel will discuss the purpose of the regulation, the various recharge methods, and its impacts.

Shifting Gears: Urban Design for Autonomous Vehicles 11:00 am–12:30 pm | 1.5 LU|HSW Autonomous vehicle technology has moved beyond the whimsical illustrations of the 1950s and the early experimental designs of Google. The technology is poised to disrupt the current model of urban mobility and create a window of opportunity to rethink the design and function of the public realm and explore new compact urban building types. An interdisciplinary panel of speakers will lead a discussion on how urban design can help cities better manage the transition to autonomous vehicles and networked mobility. How soon can we expect to see autonomous vehicles as a significant mode of transportation? Will shared mobility create opportunities for ‘Micro Transit-Oriented Development’ around pickup and dropoff zones?

What are the key decisions that designers and policymakers will face?

How will autonomous vehicles impact the urban fabric, and what are the key opportunities for architects and urban designers to intervene?
