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!

The speaker will delve into the unique characteristics of different generations\, dispel common stereotypes\, and explore the costs of generational discord in the workplace. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for building empathy\, fostering collaboration\, and creating a harmonious multigenerational work environment. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nUnderstanding Generational Diversity: Gain a deep understanding of the diverse generations in the workforce\, from Baby Boomers to Gen Z\, and how historical events have shaped their values and behaviors.\nThe Power of Empathy: Learn why empathy is the linchpin for bridging generational gaps and discover practical exercises and strategies for developing this crucial skill.\nFostering Multigenerational Collaboration: Discover communication strategies\, mentoring programs\, and leadership approaches that can be immediately implemented to promote collaboration among employees from different generations.\n\nFeatured Speaker: Skot Waldron\nWhere human behavior meets business impact. \nSkot Waldron is a sought-after speaker\, leadership consultant\, and communication strategist who has worked with top organizations such as J.P.
