SUMMARY:Tecnoglass Lecture Series: Housing for All — Marina Acayaba + Juan Pablo Rosenberg / AR Arquitetos (Brazil)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the University of Miami School of Architecture. Earn 1.5 HSW/LU. \nHousing has become one of the defining questions of our time\, shaped by climate\, affordability\, migration\, density\, infrastructure\, identity\, and the fundamental human need to belong. Architecture is central to this conversation\, not simply as shelter\, but as a way of imagining how we live together. \nFor the second consecutive year\, the University of Miami School of Architecture continues its exploration of housing\, building on the fall 2025 tecnoglass lecture series. Housing for All approaches dwelling as a cultural\, social\, environmental\, and spatial question\, one that must continually evolve. \nThis fall\, five architectural practices from Colombia\, Switzerland\, the United Kingdom\, Portugal\, and Brazil bring distinct perspectives on how housing can respond to landscape\, climate\, materials\, culture\, and everyday life. \nTogether\, these five practices expand the conversation begun in 2025\, demonstrating that housing cannot be reduced to quantity\, efficiency\, or repetition. Housing is landscape. Housing is infrastructure. Housing is material\, memory\, climate\, intimacy\, and collective life. \nThe fall 2026 tecnoglass lecture series continues the school’s commitment to placing housing at the center of architectural discourse—not as a problem to be solved\, but as an enduring question that demands continual investigation. Housing for All is ultimately an invitation to imagine housing not simply as a unit to be produced\, but as a living framework for dignity\, belonging\, beauty\, and shared everyday life. \nDownload Event Poster [PDF]

SUMMARY:Battling the Perfect Storm: Designing Roofs to Withstand Nature’s Worst
DESCRIPTION:Webinar presented by GAF.  \nTopics: Sustainability / Resilience\, Intermediate.  \nEarn 1 AIA HSW/CEU and 1.0 IIBEC CEU.  \nAs the saying goes\, when nature is at its worst\, buildings need to be at their best. Roofs at their base level are designed to keep weather out. As weather becomes more extreme\, roofs are required to withstand greater forces to maintain that protection. During this webinar\, we will discuss why relying on code is not enough\, define foreseeability and how that relates to design professionals\, and identify best practices to incorporate resiliency into low-slope roof system design. \nObjectives:
