With nondisabled participants comprising the majority of most design teams\, there’s often a lack of inclusive practices that address the needs of those with varied sensory abilities.\nThis session will feature a case study of the new Life Skills Training Center at the Washington State School for the blind to provide practical insights and actionable strategies to enhance the accessibility and inclusivity of the built environment. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplore how varied sensory abilities impact the experience of the built environment\, resulting in spaces that undermine the health and well-being of under-supported individuals.\nExamine practices for engagement and critical dialogue facilitating an inclusive exploration of spaces\, including supporting the participation of individuals experiencing blindness or low vision.\nLearn how to articulate the amenities needed to equitably support the built environment and to identify resources and tools to support these spatial solutions.\nDiscover how broadening our design toolkit to include multisensory design strategies can create a built environment that better supports people experiencing disability.\n\nPresenter: Kim Olson\, AIA\, DBIA\, Principal\, Mahlum Architects\nJoining Mahlum in 2013\, Kim brings over 22 years of experience in the field of architecture. Kim has a passion for design that enriches the living\, learning\, and healing environments for all.\n\n \n \n She takes pride in listening to the needs of all constituents through the design process\, and her work is rooted in the belief that buildings can support stronger communities when they explore and celebrate the rich diversity of the human condition. \nKim has a Masters Degree in Architecture from Tulane University\, and is a Registered Architect in Oregon. \n AIA/CEU: This session qualifies for 1 AIA/CES LU (HSW) \nCOST: Select one of the below options at registration. \n\nFree for hybrid attendees and for anyone attending in‑person who does not want food or drinks\n$15 for in‑person attendees who would like food provided.\nA variety of bento boxes will be provided from Mamaya\n\nPARKING: Click here for parking suggestions. \n\n rsvp for edi talk story below \n \n \n\n \n \n $0.00 – $15.00Price range: $0.00 through $15.00 \n\n\n \n \n \n \n Ticket type\n \n Choose an optionOnline AttendeeIn-person (with meal)In-person (no meal)Clear \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n EDI Presentation with Mahlum Arch quantity \n - \n +\nYour browser must support JavaScript in order to purchase ticket(s).\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Attendee Information #1\n \n \n \n First Name:\n *\n \n \n \n Last Name:\n *\n \n \n \n Firm/Organization:\n \n \n \n AIA Membership:\n *\n \n \n Non-member\n AIA\n Assoc.

Led by top experts in their fields\, each session offers premium instruction and meaningful networking opportunities. \n Future sessions are still being finalized but may include topics on self-leadership\, leading high-performing teams\, project management\, personal branding\, and more! \nWhether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your leadership toolkit\, these sessions are crafted to support your growth. Attend one or attend them all-each workshop stands alone but together forms a comprehensive professional development experience. \n\n #5 Blueprints for Legal & Ethical Decision-Making (2 HSW) \n As architects advance in their careers\, their role expands beyond design to include greater responsibility\, accountability\, and influence. Every decision-from communication to project execution-carries legal and ethical implications that impact both outcomes and professional reputation. \nThis session introduces emerging professionals to the legal and ethical foundations of practice through a leadership lens. Participants will explore the architect’s duty to protect public health\, safety\, and welfare\, and how that responsibility applies at all stages of their career. \nThrough real-world scenarios and discussion\, the session will examine common ethical challenges\, the role of contracts in defining expectations and risk\, and everyday situations where professional judgment is critical. It will also highlight often-overlooked risks-such as informal communication and undocumented decisions-and provide practical strategies to navigate them effectively. \n\n \n \n Presenter: Bennett J. Chin is the Managing Partner of the Hawaiʻi office of GRSM in Honolulu. Bennett’s practice is primarily focused on representing and counseling architects and engineers.

Led by top experts in their fields\, each session offers premium instruction and meaningful networking opportunities. \n Future sessions are still being finalized but may include topics on self-leadership\, leading high-performing teams\, project management\, personal branding\, and more! \nWhether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your leadership toolkit\, these sessions are crafted to support your growth. Attend one or attend them all-each workshop stands alone but together forms a comprehensive professional development experience. \n\n #3 blueprints for project management \n\n Raising the Bar on Client Relationships: From Technical Expert to Trusted Partner \n Most projects don’t fail because of design – they fail because trust breaks down. Technical excellence gets you in the room; trust determines whether you stay there long term. \nIn an environment where clients face increasing pressure\, uncertainty\, and complexity\, technical expertise alone is no longer enough to earn loyalty. The architects who stand out are the ones who go beyond the scope to truly understand their clients’ goals\, concerns\, and business drivers – and deliver in a way that builds lasting trust. Clients rarely leave because of design mistakes; they leave when they don’t feel seen and heard. \n \n Join Corey Campbell\, Executive Performance Coach and CEO & Founder of Akamai Training & Consulting\, for this interactive session exploring how the most important work of an architect often happens before the first drawing is ever created. Participants will examine their current approach and explore how to raise the bar on client interactions – leading projects as trusted partners\, not just technical experts. \n Through real-world examples and reflective dialogue\, participants will: \n\nLearn how to go beyond scope and deliverables to understand a client’s true goals\, pressures\, and business drivers.\nExamine methods to uncover what truly matters to clients and help them feel seen\, heard\, and understood.\nExplore how leadership presence and ownership influence client confidence\, loyalty\, and team performance.\nReframe project management as people management – taking ownership of relationships\, communication\, and outcomes.\n\nCome ready to reflect\, engage\, and elevate how you build trust – with clients\, teams\, and yourself as a leader.\n DATE: Friday\, January 30\nTIME: Workshop: 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM | Pau Hana: 5:00 PM – 6:00 PM\nWHERE: Center for Architecture\, 828 Fort Street Mall\, Suite 100\, Honolulu\nCOST: $75 (Includes workshop and Pau Hana networking)\nCEU: This qualifies for 2 AIA/CES LUs.\nPARKING: Click here for parking suggestions \n\n RSVP FOR BLUEPRINTS FOR PROJECT MANAGEMENT \n \n \n\n \n \n $75.00 \n Tickets Available \n\n \n \n \n \n Blueprints For Registration 1.30.26 quantity \n - \n +\nYour browser must support JavaScript in order to purchase ticket(s).\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Attendee Information #1\n \n \n \n First Name:\n *\n \n \n \n Last Name:\n *\n \n \n \n AIA Designation:\n *\n \n \n AIA\n Assoc.
