SUMMARY:Stepping Thru - Accessible Environments As We Age & Accessibility: A Photographic Look at Non-Complying Elements
DESCRIPTION:IMPORTANT: You must be present for the entire seminar in order to receive AIA and California MCE credit. \nADA Seminar\nStepping Thru – Accessible Environments As We Age\n&\nAccessibility: A Photographic Look at Non-Complying Elements\n \nThis course will cover two topics\, for 5 hours total. \npresented by Janis Kent\, FAIA\, CASp\, \nStepping Thru Accessibility \nStepping Thru – Vignette Series: Accessible Environments As We Age \nAn overview of design considerations which can easily be addressed now to not only allow us to age in place later but also have others visit us whether they have issues concerning accessibility or aging. \nThe silver tsunami is here! Now that the baby boomer generation is aging\, we need to consider how this impacts our built environment – an overview of design considerations and lighting which can easily be addressed now to not only allow us to age in place later but also to have others visit us whether they have issues concerning accessibility or aging\, whether just slowing down\, or have a more vigorous disability. This seminar addresses more than just the minimum standards of technical accessible design\, but rather good design practices and implementation overall. We will discuss common areas of concern and issues of aging and our built environment thru photographs of both good and more challenging examples of typical elements. \nSUMMARY\nAn overview of design considerations which can easily be addressed now to not only allow us to age in place later but also have others visit us whether they have issues concerning accessibility or aging \n\nTopic 2\nStepping Thru – Vignette Series: Accessibility – A Photographic Look at Recurrent Non-Complying Elements\nBe on the look out for many common items in non-compliance often found in new construction and alterations and become aware of items needing special attention from design thru construction – a visual synthesis of photos with pertinent regulation call-outs for numerous installations \nDESCRIPTION \nADA and other accessibility regulations have been around for well over 25 years\, yet we still see items of non-compliance even in new construction. Is this due to a lack of knowledge\, or incomplete drawings and specifications\, or sloppy construction\, or is it that the topic has become so complex that it is difficult to synthesize all of the relevant information? And many of the items are indeed extremely technical yet the solutions need to be incorporated at the early non-technical design stages. This presentation will look at many common items in non-compliance often found in new construction and alterations. Learn thru a visual synthesis of photos with pertinent regulation call-outs of numerous existing installations. We will discuss what went wrong\, was missing\, or misunderstood\, in order to recognize Access issues to be on the look-out for and how to better incorporate pertinent information into construction documents and specifications. \nSUMMARY\nBe on the look out for many common items in non-compliance often found in new construction and alterations and become aware of items needing special attention from design thru construction – a visual synthesis of photos with pertinent regulation call-outs for numerous installations \nAIA CES: Approved for 5.0 LU|HSW\n5.0 hours Mandatory Continuing Education for California license renewal\n(A certificate will be provided post-event for attendees who complete all 5 hours.) \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES \n\nUnderstand how different types of disabilities and aging impact our navigation of the built environment\nRecognize the impact of lighting and color and how it affects us and our health\nLearn about different items that can easily be implemented now for aging in place later\nDistinguish and identify those elements and hazards to avoid that can be more of a challenge as we age\n\n\nIdentify typical non-complying items before they get built\nRecognize what needs to be addressed early for compliant Access later\nDistinguish those elements that require more attention during design and construction for compliant installation\nDiscuss what is required for successful Access implementation\n\nThis seminar takes place IN PERSON on Friday September 12 from 9:30am to 3:30pm at the AIA|LA and ACLA Center for Communities Los Angeles\, 4450 W Adams Blvd\, Los Angeles 90016. \nThe training is five hours with an hour break. Lunch suggestions will be shared closer to the date.\nRegistrants will receive a PDF of the seminar notes to download or print in advance of the program. \nREGISTRATION FEE:\nAIA Members: $125 per person\nNonmembers: $195 per person \nPRESENTER: \nJanis Kent\, FAIA\, CASp\nStepping Thru Accessibility \n \n\n\n\n\nJanis Kent\, FAIA\, CASp is principal of Stepping Thru Accessibility and the Founding President of the Certified Access Specialist Institute (CASI).
