For 75 years the nationally-renowned Olmsted firm (father, son, and step-son) played a major role shaping the park system of Baltimore. During a period of rapid growth for the city, they provided comprehensive plans in 1904 and 1926 as well as specific recommendations and designs for park projects. Their legacy is evident in today’s park system.
About the presenter:
Ed Orser is Professor Emeritus of American Studies at UMBC and former president of the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes. He has taught and conducted research on the social and environmental history of Baltimore; his books include Blockbusting in Baltimore: The Edmondson Village Story and The Gwynns Falls: Baltimore Greenway to the Chesapeake Bay.

Anxious to get your next design or construction project noticed in the press but unsure where to start? Find out exactly what journalists are looking for and how to approach them for a story in 2020. At Meet The Press we connect you directly to a panel of working journalists in Baltimore and give you an inside perspective on approaches and opportunities to advance the stories your design or construction team wants to tell.
Hear from reporters and editors from print, digital, and broadcast media who cover design, architecture, construction , development, and the built environment in Baltimore, regionally, and nationally. Panelists from the media will present the trends and topics they are covering today, and how they identify the stories and projects they cover.
Engage in a dialogue about new topics and story ideas, how the design and construction professionals can communicate our vision for the built environment, and ultimately make a plan to tell the story of our valuable contributions to the community.

A Holistic Approach to Windows in Sustainable Design
December 10th | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

Sustainability is a diverse and ever-changing subject, and one that is growing in importance. One key to making progress on the sustainability of our building infrastructure is to consider all materials and products.

We take a holistic approach to sustainability beyond the end product, and look at factors such as lifecycle impacts of manufacturing and embodied carbon. We explore occupant wellbeing in terms of indoor air quality, biophilia etc. And understand how windows contribute to some of the top green building programs such as LEED, WELL, Net Zero to name a few.
When you complete this course, you will know more about:
1. Evaluating window performance based on a number of factors
2. Comparing and evaluating the importance of material sourcing and manufacturing practices
3. Considering occupant wellbeing in window selection

The Baltimore Greenway Trails Network: Connecting Baltimore's Trails
2020-11-20 13:00 - 13:30
The Baltimore Greenway Trails Coalition seeks to create a 35-mile world-class network of urban trails that links Baltimore together

The Baltimore Greenway Trails Coalition seeks to create a 35-mile world-class network of urban trails that link together the diverse neighborhoods, cultural amenities and outdoor resources that make up the landscape of Baltimore City. The Coalition seeks to fill in the 10 remaining miles to create a connected urban trail network serving all of Baltimore. Incredible opportunities exist to complete this network by repurposing unused railroad corridors, outdated road networks, industrial brownfields, and inaccessible waterfronts into multi-use shared paths which will connect every corner of the city. Participants in this discussion will learn how a coalition of public, private, non-profit, and neighborhood led groups are seeking to turn these barriers in the built environment into community connectors through the Baltimore Greenway Trail Network.
Join us to learn how we are building a coalition as diverse as Baltimore to advance this important project and learn how we have been able to engage with AIA’s Urban Design Committee to bring the power of design thinking to this critical project for Baltimore’s future. As a recent study by EY examined, the potential economic and social benefits of implementing the Greenway will provide a significant economic impact to Baltimore in addition to providing equitable, healthy, low-stress access to open space and reliable transportation, healthy living, and recreation for people of all ages and abilities in every corner of the city. The neighborhoods within a half mile of the Greenway are composed of 58% African-American residents and have a home ownership rate of 48%, which represents similar demographic diversity and home ownership rates to Baltimore. The completed trail will bring economic and social benefits to a wide cross section of Baltimore’s population.

JUST: The Certification for Socially Just and Equitable Organizations”
2020-11-17 11:30 - 13:00
Join AIA Baltimore for an in-depth look at JUST certification.

1.0 AIA/CES LU
Join Alison Wilson of Ayers Saint Gross, Peter Doo of Doo Consulting, and Ben Roush of FSi Engineers, the three Baltimore firms that are JUST certified, in this wide-ranging discussion on JUST certification (https://living-future.org/just-overview/). We’ll discuss each of our firms’ reasons for certification, the highlights of the JUST program, what we learned in the process about our business practice, and what we changed from certification. The JUST program is akin to a nutrition label on corporate practice in the areas of diversity, equity, safety, worker benefit, local benefit, and stewardship and is publicly available. You can see our individual JUST labels and the general reporting framework here:
