Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) initiatives have grown to have a significant impact on the investment community that provides funding and insurance for both private and public development. However, a clear strategy that links global corporate sustainability targets and the daily decision-making that shapes individual architectural projects remains opaque. What are the key drivers in ESG reports that currently are or will impact new developments and existing assets? This session will help practitioners unpack ESG and understand those connections and how they relate to progress in sustainability writ large.
The evening will begin with happy hour and networking.
This event is part of the AIA Dallas Professional Development Series, presented by Existing Conditions.

Fair Park Tram Tour
2024-02-21 12:00 - 14:00 | Fair Park, 3600 Parry Avenue, Dallas, TX, 75210
Fair Park, a celebration of art, architecture, and industry, is a cultural and historic gem in the heart of Dallas. Join us for a motorized tour of the park while we fill you in on its amazing past and talk about its exciting future.
Architecturally, Fair Park is one of the world’s largest collections of Art Deco buildings with a unique design approach that Chief Architect George Dahl described as “Texanic.” Integral to the buildings and the grounds are numerous works by renowned artists that celebrate the history and achievements of Texas during the first 100 years of independence. First established for the Dallas State Fair in 1886, Fair Park was transformed in 1936 for the Texas Centennial Exposition. It is one of Dallas’ greatest cultural assets, hosting events year-round and exhibitions and serving as home to numerous cultural institutions. In 1986, it was recognized as a National Historic Landmark.
In partnership with Fair Park First, the Dallas Architecture and Design Exchange presents hour-long lunchtime tram tours on the third Wednesday of the month at several times throughout the year. Tickets are $10 for general admission, and $5 for students and seniors.
The tour begins at noon at the Parry Street entrance gate adjacent to the DART stop. Seats are limited – reserve your seat in advance.
NOTE: The duration of the tour ranges from 1.5 to 2 hours. There is some walking (1/4 of a mile or less) to allow participants to get up close to some of the artwork. Please note any mobility challenges at the time of registration so that the tour route can be adjusted to accommodate all guests.

Building Resilience: Navigating Mental Health Challenges in AEC Industry
1.0 LU requested
Join us for a crucial roundtable discussion delving into the realm of mental health in the AEC industry. As professionals committed to shaping the future of architecture, engineering, and construction, it’s time to break the silence surrounding mental health challenges.
Explore innovative strategies, concepts, and technologies that can redefine your daily life, both professionally and personally. Our primary objective is to dismantle the stigma attached to mental health in the AEC sector. By fostering an open dialogue, we aim to create an environment that encourages support, understanding, and growth.
In this discussion, we’ll shed light on the resources available and showcase the real impact of mental health challenges in the AEC industry. Awareness is the first step toward positive change, and together, we can contribute to a healthier, more resilient industry.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a transformative conversation that has the power to shape the future of mental well-being in AEC. Join us and take a step toward building a more supportive and compassionate professional community.
This is an in-person event with lunch served.
PRIMARY LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Understanding and Addressing the Crisis:
This is foundational, as addressing issues such as suicide rates and their interconnectedness with divorce rates sets the tone for acknowledging and dealing with the severity of mental health challenges.
2. Recognizing Signs and Fostering Support:
Identifying signs of mental health challenges is crucial, and discussing the role of individuals and organization in recognizing and addressing these signs is fundamental for creating a supportive environment.
3. Providing Resources for Support:
Equipping participants with practical resources and support services ensures they have tangible tools to take away. This goal contributes directly to empowering individuals and organizations to take proactive steps.
4. Breaking the Stigma:
Explore the cultural nuances within architecture and construction to understand stigmas and openness surrounding mental health. Discuss strategies to promote a culture of openness and communication, especially addressing challenges related to “machoism” or “manly” attitudes in the construction sector.
5. Combatting Substance Abuse:
Examine the prevalent issue of substance abuse, particularly focusing on drinking within the AEC industry, and discuss proactive measures and interventions to address and mitigate its impact on mental health
