Join our upcoming group session as we kick off this year’s Global Architect Mentorship program! These sessions are open to all.

Description
We are excited to welcome a wonderful speaker, David Bradley, AIA PCC for our session, titled: Get out of your own way: Reframing Your Leadership Narrative.
We all have dreams of what we can create in our professional lives, and we all run into roadblocks on that path. More often than not, those obstacles are of our own making - deeply rooted in the stories we tell about ourselves, others, and the world around us. In this session we'll take a look at using storytelling to not only distinguish where we hold ourselves back, but explore how we can leverage that craft to create greater possibility and reframe who we get to be as heroes of our own narratives.

Wood. Renewable by Nature. Sustainable by Design
Sustainable wood has gained popularity in recent years due to its environmentally friendly properties and versatility. From research to practical applications, there are many possibilities to use wood, in furniture, flooring, cladding, building facades – and even as structural elements.
Researchers are constantly looking for ways to improve the sustainable properties of wood via life cycle analyses and innovations in wood composites and smart materials. Wood used in interior design, architecture, and academic research offers promising opportunities in the quest for a greener and more sustainable future.

Description
AIA Japan and AIA Honolulu are excited to co-host this online talk!
Throughout history, human settlements relied on rivers as sources of water and food, means of circulation and transportation, and places of recreation. The history of urbanization, however, is also the history of degraded riparian systems. This lecture will examine the plight of rivers in the 20th and 21st centuries and the prospects for urbanism when we reorient our cities to the rivers from which they emerged.
Speaker Bio

Like her background, Takako’s professional experience ranges in type, scale, and scope. Currently, she is contributing to a set of new objective design standards for the City of Palm Desert and designing the open space components of several housing projects being developed as part of California Department of Housing and Community Development’s Homekey initiative. At USC, Takako leads graduate level design studios and teaches in the Asian Architecture and Landscape Urbanism study abroad program for undergraduate architecture students.
