Vapor Intrusion: Below-Slab Protection Methodologies
2024-05-10 11:30 - 13:30 | Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen, 3520 Oak Lawn Ave, Dallas, TX, 75219, United States
For brownfields and contaminated sites, the focus has historically been to protect human health by preventing exposure to direct contact of contaminated soil or drinking contaminated water. We now know that inhaling chemical vapors poses a potential risk to the health of residents, workers, and other occupants who are inside of the buildings. Vapor intrusion is an evolving science, and it presents challenges to redeveloping these sites. This seminar provides an in-depth look at below-slab vapor intrusion protection and how it can be a sustainable tool to control transmission of chemicals into the built environment.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: After attending the session, participants will gain a better understanding of the different means and methods available for protection of vapor intrusion below the building, including, but not limited to, the differences between a chemical vapor barrier and a water vapor barrier. Participants will learn the science behind vapor migration below and through concrete slabs. In addition, participants will learn what design, construction, and installation considerations can be employed to ensure success.

Speaking the Same Language: ﻿The Common Materials Framework
2024-05-15 12:00 - 13:00 | Architecture and Design Exchange, 325 N. St. Paul Street, Suite 150, Dallas, TX, 75201, United States

How do we speak about and evaluate the sustainable attributes of building materials? The current model is a mix of ideas and goals regarding the definition of a sustainable material. Sustainable material certifications have become difficult to navigate. Confusion rules the market as architects and manufacturers attempt to answer all the questions and goals of the various approaches to sustainability.
When the AIA launched the A&D Materials Pledge, a common language was laid out with common goals regarding human health, social health & equity, ecosystem health, climate health, and circular economy. The Common Materials Framework, further outlined by mindfulMaterials, is the structure for this language, helping to define the impact of materials. This common framework will help the industry to measure progress and accomplishments; consistency is key.
Lunch will be served to all pre-registered attendees. Republic Center Valet Parking will be validated for this event. Arrive early for parking and lunch so the program can begin right at noon.

Fair Park Tram Tour
2024-05-15 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.
