Resilience is an essential element of designing for climate change. In this webinar join Cynthia Fishman, Dr. Janice Barnes, and Kevin Smith as we discuss approaches and projects that use nature and the natural environment to create or maintain resilience in the built environment.

The AIA Materials Matter Series empowers architects to become advocates for materials transparency, and in doing so, encourages the design of healthier, greener, more prosperous and more equitable buildings. This popular five-session series has been hosted across the country in Portland, Dallas, Philadelphia, Seattle and now — Denver! 

This series will equip you with strategies for assessing and selecting healthy, sustainable materials. Sessions will delve into the impact of materials on the environment and human health, the tools and data available for assessing and prioritizing materials and strategies for integrating informed decision-making into projects and practice.

Each session features presentations by both local and national experts, case studies and interactive activities.

This keynote presentation will be comprised of (2) sessions. The first will be a lecture that introduces biomimicry and reviews case studies to inspire an audience consisting of reps/manufacturers, architects, engineers, interior designers, landscape architects, etc. The second session will be interactive, during which attendees will have an opportunity to collaboratively practice biomimicry at a high level. Attendees will be able to earn (3) LU toward their architecture continuing education units.
