SUMMARY:Joint AIA|LA UDC & APA LA Section Community Mixer
DESCRIPTION:Joint LA AIA UDC & APA LA Section Community Mixer\nDate: Wednesday\, November 19\, 2025\nTime: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM\nLocation: Mrs. Fish\, 448 S Hill St\, Los Angeles\, CA 90013 \nSchedule: \n\n6:00 PM – Networking & Welcome\n7:00 PM – Speaker Remarks\n8:00 PM – Reception\n\nDescription:\nThe LA AIA Urban Design Committee (UDC)\, in collaboration with the APA Los Angeles Section\, is proud to host the 2nd Annual Community Mixter at Mrs. Fish in Downtown Los Angeles. This year’s event will focus on mobility and community planning initiatives surrounding major events such as LA28. Short talks will be given by representatives from LA Metro and other community-based organizations. \nPlease note: This event does not seek sponsorship directly from LA28. \nBackground:\nThe Mixter aims to facilitate an exchange of ideas inspired by LA28’s “lasting legacy” initiative\, as requested by the International Olympic Committee\, which emphasizes identifying meaningful local investments beyond the Games. This aligns with the LA AIA UDC’s ongoing commitment to community planning for large-scale events shaping Los Angeles. \nBuilding on discussions from LA AIA’s Ecompass 2023\, this event continues the conversation on equitable\, healthy\, and inclusive outcomes that strengthen Los Angeles communities impacted by transformative urban events. \nDiscussion Topics:\nGuests are encouraged to share brief insights on one or more of the following themes: \n\nMobility for Large Events\nLocal Initiatives\nInternational Transit-Oriented Communities\nCommunity Planning Concepts\n\nThis is an informal gathering—no PowerPoint or formal presentation is required. \nInvited Guests Include: \n\nLivable Communities\nUCLA / International Fellow\nACLA\nAIA|LA JEDI\nSCAG\nSoLa Impact\n\nParking & Transit:  \nAIA|LA encourages everyone to walk\, bike\, or ride METRO. \nThe AIA|LA Urban Design Committee Mission Statement \nDoes anyone care about urban space today? Whatever happened to visionary urban design? Where is the model for Los Angeles? Is there a model for Los Angeles? Isn’t it the architect’s job to design the city? Can we envision and support non-commercialized collective spaces? Can we be radically optimistic about the future without seeming naive? Doesn’t the term “Urban Design” sound banal\, academic\, and indeterminate? Why is that? Can we change that? Is there political viability for large-scale ambitious planning initiatives? How can infrastructural investment alter and improve the way the city functions? What is the new mayor going to do about homelessness\, and how can we\, as architects\, help? Not to say anything about the policy\, regulations\, and red tape that govern land use\, planning\, and development\, but if we had to say something about it\, where would we even start? What about the history of redlining\, discriminatory lending practices\, and segregation that has produced our present urban patterns? Can architects help foster an agenda of spatial equity in the city? Can small-scale interventions be more effective than large-scale propositions in making a more liveable city? How can return on investment be measured\, other than in dollars and cents? Mass Timber sounds great\, but what’s the story behind the sustainability argument? How can we develop the city more sustainably? Remember all that fuss about the LA River? What’s going on there? Same question\, but about the Olympics? How much impact can an individual building have on the life of a city? What are the best practices for designing housing today? How can architects best respond to the current State of Emergency? Can we\, as a profession\, be more proactive in proposing solutions that we want to see implemented? \nThe AIA|LA Urban Design Committee believes that we can\, and should. Our mission is about asking questions\, fostering discussions\, proposing solutions\, and illustrating visions for the future of Los Angeles. \n  \nAIA|LA Urban Design Committee Leadership: \n \nKelly Nicholas\, AIA\, LEED AP BD+C – Associate\, ZGF ARCHITECTS & Chair\, AIA|LA Urban Design Committee \nKelly is a licensed architect practicing at ZGF Architects in Downtown Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Equitable Restroom Accommodation for Trans/GNC People
DESCRIPTION:The ZOOM Recording of this event is now available! \nDuration: 00:58:27\nShare link: Equitable Restroom Accommodation for Trans/GNC People\nPasscode: XPz249d#\n  \nEVENT DETAILS \nThis panel presentation brings together thought leaders from the legal\, academic\, and transgender communities to address access to restrooms for trans and gender non-conforming people in public buildings in the face of laws enacted in 19 states across the country that constrain people to utilize the restroom associated with their sex-at-birth. In so doing\, trans and GNC people face increased risks\, including denial of access\, harassment and physical assault. The effect of these regressive laws serves to prevent this targeted population from using public restrooms in public buildings\, such as schools and universities\, libraries\, hospitals\, government buildings\, airports\, parks and community centers. \nIt is our charge to identify tangible solutions to ensure equitable accommodations that support everybody’s inherent right to participate in all aspects of public life. The discussion will seek to identify avenues of opportunity\, galvanize consensus\, and discern concrete steps going forward. The policy statement generated at this presentation will be delivered to AIA National for adoption and advocacy. \nLEARNING UNITS\nAIA CES: Approved for 1.0 LU|HSW \n  \nPlease note: This is a VIRTUAL event that will take place over ZOOM.\nAll registered attendees will be sent the ZOOM link in the Event Confirmation Email that is sent out 24 hours prior to the event.\n  \n  \nHOST/MODERATOR  \n \nJake Stevens – Senior Vice President\, Faring  \nJake Stevens is a California real estate development professional and a proud graduate of Los Angeles public schools.
