2023-11-28 11:45 - 13:00 | Foundry On The Fair Site, 747 Worlds Fair Park Dr, Knoxville, TN 37902, USA, 700 Worlds Fair Park Dr, United States
Join us for our annual business meeting, where we will recap our current & proposed annual budget, vote to approve new board members, and hear a wonderful presentation by Stephanie Kingsnorth, AIA, LEED EP Principal at Pfeiffer Partners located in Los Angeles, CA.
Description: Sustainability is more than just achieving a metric or filling out a checklist. No single metric is used as a universal standard or is best suited for reviving or repurposing existing buildings. Yet, the embodied carbon and embodied energy that exists within these buildings are undeniable.
This session shares insights from both the owner’s and architect’s perspectives on different sustainability approaches. Using two distinct rehabilitation projects as a springboard for learning, you’ll review the metrics that were used for each project—one originally constructed in the 1930s (currently certified at LEED Gold and aiming for Platinum) and the other built in the 1960s, which achieved net-zero.
Learning Objectives:

Identify the range of sustainability options and approaches available for existing buildings.
Understand which sustainability options are best for your building, relative to LEED, net-zero (carbon or energy), and other standards/certifications.
Explore the cost implications for each approach based on original construction materials and architectural styles for existing structures.
Identify sustainability elements that may benefit from a hybrid approach to reach the client’s goals, whether environmental, financial, or aesthetic.

Design Feed: George Smart, HAIA
2023-10-26 18:00 - 20:00 | Bijou Theatre, 803 S Gay St, Knoxville, TN 37902, USA
Speaker: George Smart, HAIA, CEO and founder of USModernist in Durham, NC.
Join AIA East Tennessee & Knox Heritage for cocktails, conversation, and a presentation by George Smart, HAIA, founder & CEO of USModernist®, the world’s largest nonprofit educational archive dedicated to the documentation, preservation, and promotion of Modernist residential design.
In this discussion, George Smart will explore the basic principles of Modernist design, why it’s important to our communities, and what participants can do about preservation, starting tomorrow. With many of America’s mid-century Modernist architects and their original clients no longer living; their houses have been sold several times; and the local real estate community would just as soon market teardowns as find new, caring owners. Despite many Modernist houses aging over the 50-year mark, city councils and preservation groups have a hard time considering Modernist houses to be historic – because 50 years later many still look like the future. With bulldozers continuing to destroy mid-century Modernist houses, these livable works of art continue to be threatened by rising land prices and disinterested heirs. Not to fear! George will educate attendees on how documenting, preserving, and promoting residential Modernist design benefits the architecture and construction industries.
