SUMMARY:EDI Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Blueprints for Leadership: A Series of Workshops (2 LUs)	\n\n			Empowering Architects at Every Stage of Their Career	\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n				\n					\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Blueprints for Leadership is a dynamic series of workshops designed to help architects build essential skills in strategic thinking\, business acumen\, and effective management. Led by top experts in their fields\, each session offers premium instruction and meaningful networking opportunities. \n\n\n\n	\n\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\n	\n\n\n			#4 blueprints for professional presence	\n\n\n			\n	\n			Building Connection Through Great Communication	\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	In architecture\, strong technical knowledge and design expertise are essential — but it’s the human side of practice that often determines project success\, client satisfaction\, and firm culture. As architectural teams become more interdisciplinary\, fast-paced\, and relationship-driven\, soft skills and emotional intelligence are no longer optional — they’re core professional competencies. \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n				\n					\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	This interactive session with Stacey Hiramoto\, SHRM-CP\, Senior HR Consultant\, with Hawaii Employers Council\, focuses on the people skills architects rely on every day: communicating clearly with clients and consultants\, navigating feedback and conflict\, recognizing bias\, and building trust within teams. Through practical examples rooted in real workplace scenarios\, participants will explore how emotional intelligence and effective communication support better collaboration\, stronger leadership\, and healthier firm environments. \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Whether you’re an emerging professional\, project architect\, or firm leader\, this program provides tools to strengthen working relationships at every level and contribute to an Employer of Choice culture within architectural practice. \nParticipants will explore how to: \n\nUnderstand the role of emotional intelligence in architectural teams and leadership.\nApply effective communication fundamentals to improve collaboration with clients\, consultants\, and internal teams.\nRecognize and mitigate bias to support inclusive and respectful design environments.\nNavigate feedback\, conflict\, and difficult conversations common in project-driven work.\nBuild strong\, trust-based working relationships across disciplines and organizational levels.\nDevelop skills that reinforce a positive firm culture and help architecture practices attract and retain talent.\n\nCome ready to reflect\, engage\, and walk away with practical skills that can be used immediately in your work and team environments.\n\n\n\n	\n\n	DATE: Friday\, February 27\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: TBD \nPARKING: Click here for parking suggestions \n\n\n	\n\n\n			RSVP for Blueprints session #4	\n\n	\n					\n				\n\n	\n	\n		$75.00 \n Tickets Available \n\n	\n	\n		\n		    \n        Blueprints For Registration 2.27.26 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	\n		\n	\n	\n\n 	\n		Last Name:\n				*\n			\n	\n	\n	\n		\n	\n	\n\n 	\n		AIA Designation:\n				*\n			\n	\n			AIA\n			Assoc.

SUMMARY:Private Architectural Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Opening Night\nfor "GAS STATION'S HAWAI'I"\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	Friday April 3 | 5:30-7PM | Center for Architecture\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Gas stations are part of everyday life in Hawaiʻi. We pass them often without much thought\, yet they quietly shape how we live. \nHawaiʻi remains heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels. In 2024\, about 70% of Oʻahu’s electricity came from petroleum\, and nearly 80% of the state’s total energy use relied on imported oil. Even as renewable energy and electric vehicles grow\, petroleum continues to play a major role in daily life. \nAt the same time\, global uncertainty has made fuel supply less predictable. For an island state\, this raises a simple but urgent question: what happens if those shipments stop? \nAcross Honolulu\, some gas stations are already changing - becoming restaurants\, shops\, and other small businesses. This is not new. Gas stations have long adapted to meet community needs\, serving not only as places to refuel\, but as informal gathering spaces. \nSCHEDULE\n5:30 PM — Refreshments and Gathering\n5:40 PM — Welcome and Opening\n5:45 PM — Reflections\n5:50 PM — Exhibition Walkthrough\n6:00 PM — A Brief History of Gas Stations in Hawaiʻi\n6:10 PM — Preservation and Place\n6:20 PM — Energy in Transition\n6:30 PM — Rethinking Gas Stations: Moving Forward Together\n6:40 PM — Community Conversation \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n				\n					\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Gas Stations Hawaiʻi brings together photography by \nMike Williams alongside historical and cultural perspectives. The exhibition looks at what these places have been - and what they might become. \nWe are honored to bring together a group of deeply respected guests\, each contributing their unique perspective and expertise to this program. This gathering invites us to reimagine something as ordinary as a gas station\, transforming it into a space of deeper reflection - something arcane\, layered\, and rich with meaning. It is our hope that each participant can share in their own strength\, creating a collective experience that expands how we see the everyday.\n \nWe are especially grateful to welcome the following contributors: \nDeSoto Brown\, Historian at Bishop Museum\, will explore the history of gas stations in Hawaiʻi\, grounding our conversation in place and time. \nGaye Chan\, conceptual artist and former Professor of Photography\, will guide us through the exhibition while reflecting on the role of documentation and artistic interpretation. \nWilliam Chapman\, Director of the Historic Preservation Program at the University of Hawaiʻi\, together with Karolyn Jones\, will shed light on how preservation can be examined and practiced through their work and program. \nJonathan Chinen\, design technologist\, and Aaron Padilla\, Education Director at the Honolulu Museum of Art\, will share insights on integrating creativity into everyday community spaces and rethinking the mundane. \nWendy Meguro\, architect and Associate Professor with the Sea Grant College Program\, will present key data on energy consumption across our islands. She will be joined by Hans Krock\, Emeritus Professor of Ocean and Resources Engineering\, who will discuss potential solutions for harnessing thermal energy from the ocean-offering alternatives to our reliance on fossil fuels. \nTogether\, these voices help us reframe the familiar\, inviting new ways of thinking about infrastructure\, environment\, and community.

SUMMARY:HSC Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Opening Night\nfor "GAS STATION'S HAWAI'I"\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	Friday April 3 | 5:30-7PM | Center for Architecture\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Gas stations are part of everyday life in Hawaiʻi. We pass them often without much thought\, yet they quietly shape how we live. \nHawaiʻi remains heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels. In 2024\, about 70% of Oʻahu’s electricity came from petroleum\, and nearly 80% of the state’s total energy use relied on imported oil. Even as renewable energy and electric vehicles grow\, petroleum continues to play a major role in daily life. \nAt the same time\, global uncertainty has made fuel supply less predictable. For an island state\, this raises a simple but urgent question: what happens if those shipments stop? \nAcross Honolulu\, some gas stations are already changing - becoming restaurants\, shops\, and other small businesses. This is not new. Gas stations have long adapted to meet community needs\, serving not only as places to refuel\, but as informal gathering spaces. \nSCHEDULE\n5:30 PM — Refreshments and Gathering\n5:40 PM — Welcome and Opening\n5:45 PM — Reflections\n5:50 PM — Exhibition Walkthrough\n6:00 PM — A Brief History of Gas Stations in Hawaiʻi\n6:10 PM — Preservation and Place\n6:20 PM — Energy in Transition\n6:30 PM — Rethinking Gas Stations: Moving Forward Together\n6:40 PM — Community Conversation \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n				\n					\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Gas Stations Hawaiʻi brings together photography by \nMike Williams alongside historical and cultural perspectives.

SUMMARY:CANstruction Committee Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Opening Night\nfor "GAS STATION'S HAWAI'I"\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	Friday April 3 | 5:30-7PM | Center for Architecture\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Gas stations are part of everyday life in Hawaiʻi. We pass them often without much thought\, yet they quietly shape how we live. \nHawaiʻi remains heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels. In 2024\, about 70% of Oʻahu’s electricity came from petroleum\, and nearly 80% of the state’s total energy use relied on imported oil. Even as renewable energy and electric vehicles grow\, petroleum continues to play a major role in daily life. \nAt the same time\, global uncertainty has made fuel supply less predictable. For an island state\, this raises a simple but urgent question: what happens if those shipments stop? \nAcross Honolulu\, some gas stations are already changing - becoming restaurants\, shops\, and other small businesses. This is not new. Gas stations have long adapted to meet community needs\, serving not only as places to refuel\, but as informal gathering spaces. \nSCHEDULE\n5:30 PM — Refreshments and Gathering\n5:40 PM — Welcome and Opening\n5:45 PM — Reflections\n5:50 PM — Exhibition Walkthrough\n6:00 PM — A Brief History of Gas Stations in Hawaiʻi\n6:10 PM — Preservation and Place\n6:20 PM — Energy in Transition\n6:30 PM — Rethinking Gas Stations: Moving Forward Together\n6:40 PM — Community Conversation \n\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n				\n					\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n			\n	\n	Gas Stations Hawaiʻi brings together photography by \nMike Williams alongside historical and cultural perspectives. The exhibition looks at what these places have been - and what they might become. \nWe are honored to bring together a group of deeply respected guests\, each contributing their unique perspective and expertise to this program. This gathering invites us to reimagine something as ordinary as a gas station\, transforming it into a space of deeper reflection - something arcane\, layered\, and rich with meaning. It is our hope that each participant can share in their own strength\, creating a collective experience that expands how we see the everyday.\n \nWe are especially grateful to welcome the following contributors: \nDeSoto Brown\, Historian at Bishop Museum\, will explore the history of gas stations in Hawaiʻi\, grounding our conversation in place and time. \nGaye Chan\, conceptual artist and former Professor of Photography\, will guide us through the exhibition while reflecting on the role of documentation and artistic interpretation. \nWilliam Chapman\, Director of the Historic Preservation Program at the University of Hawaiʻi\, together with Karolyn Jones\, will shed light on how preservation can be examined and practiced through their work and program. \nJonathan Chinen\, design technologist\, and Aaron Padilla\, Education Director at the Honolulu Museum of Art\, will share insights on integrating creativity into everyday community spaces and rethinking the mundane. \nWendy Meguro\, architect and Associate Professor with the Sea Grant College Program\, will present key data on energy consumption across our islands. She will be joined by Hans Krock\, Emeritus Professor of Ocean and Resources Engineering\, who will discuss potential solutions for harnessing thermal energy from the ocean-offering alternatives to our reliance on fossil fuels. \nTogether\, these voices help us reframe the familiar\, inviting new ways of thinking about infrastructure\, environment\, and community.

We pass them often without much thought\, yet they quietly shape how we live. \nHawaiʻi remains heavily dependent on imported fossil fuels. In 2024\, about 70% of Oʻahu’s electricity came from petroleum\, and nearly 80% of the state’s total energy use relied on imported oil.

For an island state\, this raises a simple but urgent question: what happens if those shipments stop? \nAcross Honolulu\, some gas stations are already changing - becoming restaurants\, shops\, and other small businesses. This is not new.
