Registration is now open for the American Institute of Architects (AIA) 2019 Women’s Leadership Summit (WLS) in Minneapolis, Sept. 12-14. This year’s speakers include Design Matters podcast host Debbie Millman; Thrive Labs founder and motivational speaker Priya Parker; architect and Harvard professor Toshiko Mori, FAIA; and Mancini Duffy Chief Financial Officer Bolanle Williams-Olley, who has founded three impact organizations.
The American Concrete Institute announces that ACI 318-19 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete is now available in print and digital formats. It includes major technical changes in higher reinforcing steel yield strengths; the addition of shotcrete and deep foundation provisions; seismic requirements for deep foundations and other applications; vertical seismic motions; nonlinear analysis for seismic design; modification to development length equations; and updated shear design provisions and equations.
CONSTRUCT offers a variety of registration packages to fit the needs of any AEC professional. From full education packages and specialty programs, to exhibit hall passes. Pricing discounts available for CSI Members, Emerging Professionals and Students.
The memberships of the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA) both voted to proceed with combining into one organization with a new name, Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA). “The value of the new organization will be a stronger industry voice, offering members and the industry single-source access to critical information,” said AAMA Board Chairman Donnie Hunter (Kawneer). “With knowledgeable professionals from both the fenestration and glass industries, better synergy for the whole finished fenestration product will be available, as well as direct access to Canadian market, codes and regulatory expertise. A combined organization also delivers expanded technical competencies and a broader document base to support more extensive educational opportunities for members,” he continued.
The BIA has opened its entries for the 2019 Brick in Architecture Awards—now celebrating 30 years. Architects or designers may submit projects in which new clay brick products comprise the predominant exterior building or paving material.

The Center for Active Design (CfAD), operator of the Fitwel Certification System, today announces nine of the leaders who are piloting Fitwel Community, a new standard for optimizing holistic health benefits in neighborhood-scale projects. “The Community Scorecard brings CfAD’s core expertise in neighborhood design and development to the Fitwel certification standard, allowing us to share this knowledge at scale, and to impact projects around the world,” says Joanna Frank, President & CEO at CfAD. “We are grateful to our pilot partners for their leadership in creating market transformation at the neighborhood scale.”
