SUMMARY:Building & Construction Technology Programs
DESCRIPTION:Spring BCT Lectures – Hybrid\nAll programs are Mondays from 4:00 -5:15 pm EST\nFor Detailed Information and to Register visit here \nIntroduction to Lean Project Delivery\nMonday February 12| 4:00-5:15PM|Hybrid – ZOOM or in person at 170 Design Building UMass|1HSW (approval pending)\nLean construction is all about efficiency. Manufacturers and construction firms care about it because it has the potential to save firms time and money. This presentation will provide a broad overview of Lean Project Delivery and discuss why it’s needed\, review the goals and benefits of implementation\, and explore the shift in thinking and behaviors for lean practices to be successful. Presented by: Kate​ Simons\, Senior Preconstruction Manager at DOC \nEvolution of Carbon Accounting Tools Over a Decade\nMonday April 8| 4:00-5:15PM|Hybrid – ZOOM or in person at 170 Design Building UMass|1 HSW (approval pending)\nIn the 2000s\, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) emerged as a pivotal concept\, significantly influencing the development of building carbon accounting tools. The field of carbon accounting tools is dynamic\, with new tools being developed and existing ones evolving. This dynamism\, however\, has often made choosing carbon accounting tools challenging\, primarily due to factors such as the complexity of the tools themselves and the diverse needs of users. In her presentation\, Ph.D. Candidate Diana Brito will share her experiences using various tools\, providing examples that offer valuable insights.\nNOTE – for those looking for more detailed information on using carbon tools in professional practice – sign up for WMAIA’s spring COTE series focusing on Embodied Carbon here \n Don’t Do Stupid Things\nMonday May 6| 4:00-5:15PM|Hybrid – ZOOM or in person at 170 Design Building UMass|1 HSW (approval pending)\nFocus on failures related to materials\, systems\, and assemblies that have led to mold\, rot\, decay\, and corrosion in commercial and residential buildings.  Issues covered will include the stack effect\, over ventilation\, under ventilation\, poor water management\, EIFS\, stucco\, negative air pressures\, vapor barriers in the wrong place\, green roofs\, and COVID recommendations from the CDC. Presented by: JOSEPH LSTIBUREK\, B.A.Sc.\, M.Eng.\, Ph.D.\, P.Eng.\, is the founding principal of Building Science Corporation and an ASHRAE Fellow. \nFor Detailed Information and to Register visit here

SUMMARY:UMass Lecture Series
DESCRIPTION:Spring Architecture Lecture Series at UMass\nSelf Report for Learning Units\nMore information here. \nAll lectures will be held in Design Building 170 at 5:30pm \nWednesday\, 3/6\nMimi Love\, Principal\, Utile Architecture and Planning \nWednesday\, 3/27\nJoseph Zeal-Henry\, 2024 ArtLab Loeb Fellow at Harvard \nWednesday\, 4/17\nAlan Organschi\, Principal\, Gray Organschi Architecture \nWednesday\, 5/1\nKatie Faulkner FAIA\, Principal\, West Work \nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES\nMimi Love is a principal at Utile. Her expertise ranges from complicated renovations to new construction projects with challenging programmatic requirements. Mimi led a master plan for Belmont Day School\, and oversaw the recent construction of “The Barn\,” a 24\,000 square foot building that houses specialty classrooms to support their STEAM program and a Field House. She managed campus master plans for two independent schools; St. Andrew’s School in Austin\, TX and The Park School in Brookline\, MA. She also served as a consultant to Reed Hilderbrand for the Cranbrook Educational Community Master Plan in Bloomfield Hills\, MI. Mimi led an urban campus master plan for a global search engine company based in Kendall Square in Cambridge\, MA that will eventually occupy a half million square feet of office space. Several phases of the expansion have been completed. She was the design principal for Autodesk’s office expansion at The Innovation and Design Building in Boston’s Seaport District and was one of the Utile principals who led the Rethink City Hall project for the City of Boston. She completed the redesign of the Boston City Hall lobby as well as other pilot projects throughout the building. Prior to joining Utile\, Mimi was an Associate at Machado Silvetti in Boston where she was the lead designer for the renovation projects at the Getty Villa in Malibu\, CA. Mimi co-authored Color Space Style\, a reference book on interior design for Rockport Publications. She has recently been appointed as a Commissioner for the Boston Civic Design Commission (BCDC). \nJoseph Zeal-Henry is a designer\, urbanist and curator whose practice advocates for a more equitable built environment through policy and cultural production. His unique multi-disciplinary practice bridges public service and art.\nHe has written for Dezeen\, Casabella\, and Architectural Review. In addition to his role with the Greater London Authority’s Culture Team\, he is a cofounder of Sound Advice\, an ‘extra-institutional’ platform exploring new forms of spatial practice through music. In 2022\, the British Council selected Joseph to co-curate the British Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2023 alongside Jayden Ali\, Meneesha Kellay and Sumitra Upham. Their pavilion\, Dancing Before the Moon\, explores the need for architecture to look beyond buildings and economic structures and toward everyday social practices\, customs\, and traditions to meaningfully reflect how people use and occupy space. \nJoseph works for the mayor of London in the Culture and Creative Industries Unit\, delivering new cultural infrastructure for the city. He works on the New London Museum\, East Bank\, and the Thames Estuary Production Corridor. He cofounded the social enterprise platform Sound Advice alongside Pooja Agrawal to explore new forms of spatial practice through music. In 2020 they published the book NOW YOU KNOW. He is a trustee of UD Music\, a charity that empowers and harnesses opportunities for young people through Black music culture. \nAlan Organschi is a principal and partner at Gray Organschi Architecture\, an architectural practice in New Haven\, Connecticut recognized internationally for its integration of design\, construction\, and environmental research. He is also the founder of the fabrication workshop and construction management firm JIG Design Build which in 2018 created the Ecological Living Module\, a fully self-sustaining micro house for the United Nations Environment Program. \nIn April 2021\, Mr. Organschi was appointed Director of the Innovation Lab at the Bauhaus der Erde (Earth Bauhaus – www.bauhausdererde.org) a global interdisciplinary initiative that seeks to transform the building sector from a major source of anthropogenic environmental and social impact into a regenerative and ecologically sensitive means to meet the housing and infrastructural needs of an urbanizing global population. In that capacity\, he will direct the development of the Lab\, its experimental projects\, public programs and trans-sectoral collaborations with global partners. \nMr. Organschi continues as a Senior member of the faculty at the Yale School of Architecture where he has taught architectural design and building technology for two decades.
