The American Institute of Architects (AIA)’s Post

If you are in the design side of building systems and infrastructure. This is a must read. An excellent take on a gap that needs closed for the betterment of humanity, really. Take-aways: "Our research has uncovered a disconnect between what architects and building engineers say about integrated security, and what it looks like in practice." "When it comes to security, there is a clear ambition and desire for it not to be an afterthought in building design, but in practice there is an opportunity for more improvement." "Certainly, the most compelling finding is that one-third identified a significant problem: the absence of security integration planning. This is surprising given that many assert it's a standard practice to include security planning right from the start in the design phase." "A call to action is apparent for AEC practitioners to enhance the integration of security at the design stage. Acknowledging the issue is the first step, but the industry must now take concrete actions, both individually and collectively, to address this critical need." As an integrator, engineer and security professional, studies like this are invaluable and show us exactly where we are on this roadmap to an ever growing seamless integration from the top of the pole to the base of it, underground. This industry is so passionately flourishing and it is a marvel to see that the true leaders within it, like Brivo and Paula Balmori Beltrán are still working to strengthen it's foundation and fortify it's keel to make sure that with all the top tech, our industry stays upright and true. I'm glad to be a part of it, I'm grateful to Sprinter Business Solutions for seeing the vision and look to help further contribute through the Security Today Podcast and other collaborations! A must read for: Chris Wilson, CSPM, SICC Jason Reynolds, P.E. Trever Klein and whoever else read this far 😂 #AEC #PhysicalSecurity #securitydesign #security

Interesting Reno and expansion of 1960 era greenhouse at U.C.R campus that keeps the existing embodied carbon concrete structure while addressing sustainability needs of the university campus while enhancing students learning environment. Way to go Perkins&Will!

Our feasibility studies are about more than just crunching numbers – they're about shaping visions and fostering connections. They can help guide early-stage conversations with investors, approval agencies, and other stakeholders. Imagine beginning to visualize the form a project might take, knowing that every decision is carefully planned to maximize its impact on the community. That's the essence of our feasibility studies. We go beyond the bottom line to consider the social and environmental impact of each project, ensuring that it adds value to both the neighborhood and people who will call it home. Our feasibility studies offer a roadmap to creating meaningful narratives that lead to well-designed projects with increased ROI. From optimizing layouts to fostering a sense of community, we're here to help you bring your vision to life. Contact us today to learn more about our pre-design services and the power of a thoughtful feasibility study. https://lnkd.in/gykxVFUJ #thoughtcraft #architecture #bostonarchitecture #northcarolinaarchitecture #durhamarchitecture #massachusettsarchitecture #architects #somervillearchitecture #cambridgearchitecture #raleigharchitecture #chapelhillarchitecture #communitybuilding #feasibilitystudies #environmentalimpact

Unlocking Safety: The Power of Collaboration In an era where security is paramount, the fusion of expertise between security professionals and architects is proving to be the ultimate solution. Dive into this illuminating article by Lilly Chapa, exploring how Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) not only enhances accessibility but also fortifies security in public spaces. Discover how CPTED, blending architectural finesse with security principles, creates environments that naturally deter crime and promote safety. With urban areas becoming more densely populated, the need for seamless integration between design and security has never been more crucial. Join the conversation on the indispensable partnership between security practitioners and architects, shaping spaces that prioritize safety without compromising aesthetics or accessibility. #Security #Architecture #CPTED #Collaboration #UrbanDesign #SafetyFirst #CrimePrevention #Accessibility #Partnership

What makes Luzerne Consulting different is our extensive experience in both architecture and construction management. Identifying and utilizing best practices from both disciplines is just one way we strive to meet our mission of improving project delivery. This objective is what led to the development of the upcoming AIA24 presentation, ‘Incorporating Construction Management Practices into the Architecture Profession’. How can design projects be improved by using some of the same management principles that construction managers use? In this session, attendees will be introduced to, and discuss better ways of, leading projects, generating value, mitigating risks, and organizing projects.
