SUMMARY:Unearthing Solutions
DESCRIPTION:Please note: AIA|LA is not collecting RSVP’s for this event. Please see all pertinent event details below. \nClick here to register for this free event! \nEVENT DETAILS\nUnearthing Solutions\nA Completed Case Study of a Below-Grade Waterproofing Project at US Storage Centers \nDesigned by Morphosis Architects and Located in Los Angeles \nBelow-grade waterproofing systems are essential to long-term building enclosure performance\, yet they remain a frequent source of distress\, claims\, and costly repairs. Achieving durable performance depends not only on selecting an appropriate system\, but on early and continuous coordination among the owner\, architect\, enclosure consultant\, manufacturer\, and contractor—supported by clear detailing and rigorous construction-phase execution. \nThis panel presentation examines a completed case study of a below-grade waterproofing project at US Storage Centers in Los Angeles\, where a collaborative\, risk-informed process guided design development\, detailing\, and construction administration. The session illustrates how owner objectives\, architectural constraints\, subsurface conditions\, and risk tolerance informed system selection and detailing decisions. Particular emphasis is placed on the architect’s role in coordinating enclosure requirements\, integrating waterproofing into the overall building design\, and facilitating collaboration among the project team. \nThe presentation also highlights the roles of the enclosure consultant\, manufacturer\, and waterproofing contractor in identifying constructibility risks\, maintaining continuity of waterproofing and drainage at critical transitions\, and supporting the architect through submittal review\, RFIs\, and field observations. \n\nPanelists\nJud Taylor and Jeremy Arnold – SGH \nSal Hidalgo – Morphosis \nKyle Stimpson – AVM \nJames “Jimmy” Dent – Systems Waterproofing \n\nObjectives\nAfter attending this presentation\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify key factors influencing below-grade waterproofing system selection\, including owner goals\, subsurface conditions\, architectural constraints\, and risk tolerance.\nRecognize common design and construction challenges that affect below-grade waterproofing performance and explain how early coordination reduces the risk of failure.\nApply best practices for detailing and reviewing below-grade waterproofing assemblies to maintain continuity at transitions\, penetrations\, and terminations.\nUnderstand the roles and responsibilities of architects\, enclosure consultants\, manufacturers\, and contractors in delivering constructible\, durable below-grade waterproofing systems.\n\n  \nPLEASE CLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THIS FREE EVENT!

SUMMARY:9th Annual 1.5°C Symposium on Climate Change
DESCRIPTION:Click here for Ticket Purchase Instructions & Support.\nEVENT DETAILS\nOn Friday\, April 17th\, 2026\, the AIA Los Angeles Committee on the Environment (COTE) is proud to host the 9th annual 1.5°C Symposium on Climate Change. This year’s symposium shifts the conversation from policy to practice\, and from intention to action. \nIn a time of political uncertainty and climate urgency\, this event asks: How can individuals\, firms\, and communities drive real\, tangible change? The 2026 Symposium will explore how climate action is scaled across projects of every size\, within firms of every structure\, and across sectors often siloed from each other. From small-scale pro-bono efforts to market-driven green development\, the event will celebrate and elevate practical\, resilient\, and replicable strategies Attendees will engage with Southern California–based impact projects\, sector-specific insights\, and a network of collaborators reimagining what’s possible. Our goal is to democratize knowledge\, strengthen cross-sector connections\, and accelerate a just transition in the built environment. \n \nWORKSHOP INFO\nClick here to view the 1.5°C Symposium on Climate Change Workshop Sessions. \n\nPlease note:\n\n\nWe have 5 workshop sessions available during the conference.\nSession A\, Session B\, Session C\, Session D\,  & Session E.\nEach attendee may select ONE workshop per session.\nPlease note: Each session has capacity limits and seating will be first come first served!\nYou may select your workshop preferences when purchasing your ticket.\n\n\n\nLEARNING OBJECTIVES\n1. Participants will analyze how climate action is implemented across projects of varying scale and context\, from small-scale and community-driven efforts to large\, market-based developments\, with attention to health\, safety\, welfare\, and environmental co-benefits. \n2. Participants will be able to identify practical\, replicable strategies used by individuals\, firms\, and cross-sector teams to advance net-zero\, resilience\, and regenerative outcomes within real-world professional and organizational constraints. \n3. Participants will evaluate the role of financial mechanisms\, partnerships\, and capital flows in enabling or limiting climate-ready projects\, including approaches to value creation\, risk mitigation\, and equitable development. \n4. Participants will able to apply tools\, metrics\, and collaborative frameworks\, spanning design practice\, policy translation\, and project finance\, to accelerate climate-positive outcomes within their own professional work and communities. \n  \nPARKING\nParking is available onsite for $12/day with entry off of Albany Street. \n\nPlease click here to view more details about 1.5°C.\nBecome a sponsor!
