SUMMARY:Integrating Spatial Computing into Architecture and Planning Practice:  Augmented Reality for Inclusive Development
DESCRIPTION:Reading Time:   < 1 minuteJoin Women in Architecture for an informative webinar! \nCourse Description \nThe next era of computing will be spatial. Spatial computing merges digital and physical worlds\, extending the boundaries of computing beyond screens\, and enabling users to interact with digital information and objects as if they exist in the real world. These technologies are poised to be particularly transformative in architecture and planning\, opening up new avenues to move beyond traditional 2D drawings and static 3D models and design and experience spaces in fully immersive\, interactive environments. \nAugmented Reality (AR)\,\, allows practitioners to walk through and modify designs in real-time\, communicating a more intuitive understanding of scale\, proportion\, and spatial relationships. It is also timely – with the majority of new development now taking place within existing areas\, architects must navigate complex social landscapes\, address community concerns\, and reimagine existing fabrics. AR can function as a compelling visual language\, enabling stakeholders to “inhabit” proposed spaces before construction begins. AR can bridge the gap between abstract plans and tangible realities\, making a design more accessible to clients\, stakeholders\, and community members alike. \nIn this session with Dana Chermesh-Reshef\, CEO and Founder of inCitu – the first augmented reality platform for architects\, builders\, and developers – we will explore the potential impact of AR in architecture and planning\, and provide guidance on how to integrate this technology into existing architecture and design workflows. From creating AR-ready 3D models\, to leveraging user-friendly platforms for activation\, we’ll provide practical insights to help understand and incorporate AR into practice. We’ll also examine real-world case studies where AR has played an impactful role\, and ultimately lead to better-designed\, community-embraced projects. \nSpeaker: Dana Chermesh-Reshef\, Founder & CEO\, inCitu\nDana is an architect specialized in infill development and housing policies\, turned urban data scientist (NYU CUSP ’18). In 2020\, Dana founded inCitu: a startup on the mission to democratize city planning through augmented reality (AR). Prior to inCitu Dana worked at the New York City Department of City Planning (DCP)\, her research on the feasibility of Tel-Aviv’s city center rezoning was published in “The Marker” newspaper and she is a frequent lecturer on Smart Cities’ next frontier. \nLearning Objectives\n1. Understand the role of AR as a visualization and engagement tool in architectural practice and urban development processes.\n2. Learn how to integrate AR into existing architectural design workflows and client presentations.\n3. Understand the state of the 3D industry as it relates to architecture\, and evolving standards for real-time 3D modeling.\n4. Review successful case studies of projects where AR has been integrated into the development and public engagement process.\n5. Gain practical strategies for using AR to improve community engagement around built projects. \nREGISTER HERE: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/oXWB3cYXQLKqWiKL7YdHfg

DESCRIPTION:Reading Time:   < 1 minuteJoin AIA CNJ and AIA NJ Women in Architecture for this Virtual Presentation:  \nThe Stop Overworking Formula for Women Architects \nVIRTUAL\n1 LU (pending) \nAre you a woman in architecture who struggles with overwork\, work stress\, or even burnout? Your brain continues to spin with work-related worries even when you’re not there\, and it’s hard to take time off without guilt or to be fully present with your kids\, your partner\, or your relationships outside of work? \nAs a leader\, you take on too many tasks and struggle to say no. You’re constantly being pulled into inefficient meetings and work in the weeds\, and you worry constantly about whether it’s all enough\, if you’re good enough\, and about keeping everyone happy. \nIf you struggle with this—and even fantasize sometimes about having a boring easy job (but you know that wouldn’t satisfy you either)—this training is for you. You’ll learn the real reason why so many high-achieving women leaders get stuck in overwork and what you can do about it. You’ll learn the surprising pathway to achieving more in your career by doing less. You’ll learn how to get out of the weeds and operate at a higher level in your work so you can have more impact\, more satisfaction\, and more time and mental space to enjoy everything outside of your job in this one precious life. \nYou’ll learn: \n→ How to work less and still succeed at work (and actually accomplish more as a result) \n→ How to get out of the weeds\, be less reactive\, and be a more strategic and visionary leader in your career \n→ How to set and maintain boundaries with more joy and ease (and less drama and guilt!) \n→ How to shut off your work brain after work so you can enjoy guilt-free time off\, and be present\, energetic and joyful with your family\, your friends\, and in your life outside of work \nLearning Objectives: \n→ Participants will reduce work hours and stress while achieving more client satisfaction and profit.\n→ Participants will practice strategies to be less reactive and be a more strategic and visionary in their roles\n→ Participants will enact strategies to set and maintain boundaries between work and their personal lives\n→ Participants will create mental breaks between work and their personal lives to reduce their chances of burnout and increase their chances of creative ideation \nPresenter: \nThis course is presented by Maya Sharfi. \n \nMaya Sharfi is founder of Build Yourself\, a leadership coaching company that helps women in design and planning grow into senior leadership roles without burnout and overwhelm. \nMaya’s clients achieve results like worrying less about work after hours\, delegating more\, and also moving into senior director roles\, launching new\, innovative programs\, and even achieving salary bumps like $25k\, $40k\, and even $80k and $100k. Maya is a former Harvard Innovation Lab resident and has an MLA from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. \nRegistration:\nWhen you register\, please include your AIA number in the Special Instructions field\, if applicable.

SUMMARY:Designing-Women’s Lives: Transforming Place and Self
DESCRIPTION:Reading Time:   < 1 minutePresented by Toby Israel\, Ph.D.\, Design Psychologist\nI LU Pending \n  \nLocation:  Kean University\, Michael Graves College – J-100 \nDate: December 11\, 2023 \nTime: 6 PM \nToby Israel\, Ph.D. is a founder of the new field of Design Psychology.  Defined as “the practice of architecture\, planning and interior design in which psychology is the principal design tool\,” this new discipline continues to gain international attention.  Dr. Israel has been interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning\, NPR’s Talk of the Nation and Radio Times and for The L.A. Times\, The New York Times\, The Financial Times\, The Wall Street Journal\, and Oprah Home Magazine. \nIs there a ‘woman’s way of knowing’ about the environment that’s been discounted? In her new book\, Designing-Women’s Lives: Transforming Place and Self\, Dr. Toby Israel argues that there’s a whole realm of emotional experience of place that needs to be laced back into the built world. In this session\, she suggests how female architects\, especially\, can engender a place-making revolution by using Design Psychology as the foundation for creating emotionally satisfying places. \nTo build her case\, the presenter will discuss how she took renowned female place-makers through a Design Psychology Toolbox of exercises\, a ‘deeper-than-deep dive’ methodology\, that revealed ways these ‘greats’ transformed their home spaces. By leading audience members through similar hands-on exercises\, the speaker will invite all to explore their own emotional/environmental\, lived-experience. She’ll show how to apply that ‘feeling’ experience of place to the making of ‘Transcendent Liberating Design’- – luminous and empowering environments. The talk introduces the audience to a ‘design from within’ Design Psychology Toolbox\, a unique programming process they can use to empower themselves and the clients they serve.  \n  \n
