The event features a compelling guest speaker who will draw out the book’s big ideas and connect them to practice in Hawaiʻi\, all hosted at a cool\, thoughtfully chosen venue. \nWhether you’ve read every page\, skimmed the introduction\, or are just coming for the conversation\, the AIA Hawaiʻi Book Club is about shared curiosity and expanding how we think about our work and our world. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n Book Club Q3: At Ma'o Organic Farms!\nFor our third Book Club\, we have chosen “What If We Get It Right: Visions of Climate Futures" by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson. \nA SMITHSONIAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR! Sometimes\, the bravest thing we can do when facing an existential crisis is to imagine life on the other side. This provocative and joyous book maps an inspiring landscape of possible climate futures. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n Through clear-eyed essays and vibrant conversations\, infused with data\, poetry\, and art\, Ayana guides us through solutions and possibilities at the nexus of science\, policy\, culture\, and justice. Visionary farmers and financiers\, architects and advocates\, help us conjure a flourishing future\, one worth the effort it will take—from every one of us\, with whatever we have to offer—to create. \nWith grace\, humor\, and humanity\, Johnson invites readers to ask and answer this ultimate question together: What if we get it right? \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n Where to get the book? You can find the book at your local library\, bookstore or online. \nGood News: You do NOT have to read the book to attend. Join us for an engaging conversation designed for anyone curious about architecture and its broader context. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n The discussion will be led by Kukui Maunakea-Forth\, Executive Director of the Farm.

As part of this work\, they are seeking input from professionals across the building industry to better understand existing systems\, barriers\, and opportunities related to: \n\nSalvaged urban and near-urban trees\nReclaimed and deconstructed building materials\nLocal wood products and supply chains\nMaterial specification and procurement challenges\nOpportunities for greater use of Hawaiʻi-grown and recovered wood products in design and construction\n\nFor architects\, local wood presents exciting possibilities as a material that reflects place and culture—from custom millwork and furnishings to specialty finish applications and feature installations. Yet many challenges remain\, including inconsistent supply\, limited processing infrastructure\, material certification concerns\, and procurement hurdles. \nThis session is intended as a conversation rather than a presentation. UWE is in an active information-gathering phase and is looking to learn from practitioners who have attempted to specify\, source\, salvage\, reuse\, or advocate for local wood materials in Hawaiʻi projects. Whether your experience has been successful\, challenging\, or simply exploratory\, your perspective can help inform a broader understanding of the current landscape. \n\n\n \n \n \n 2026 AIA & UWE Discussion\n \n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n AIA DesignationNon-memberAIAAssoc.
