SUMMARY:Historic Tour: Tangier Island History and Vernacular Architecture Tour
DESCRIPTION:Visit the island of Tangier\, Virginia with AIA Virginia’s Historic Resources Committee to learn about the community’s long history and insights about its built environment. Lincoln Lewis\, Climate Equity Doctoral Fellow with the University of Virginia’s Equity Center where he works on the Coastlines and People (CoPe) project for Virginia’s Eastern Shore\, will be leading the tour.  As part of HALS\, he documented the Tangier Island Watermen Working Landscape. \nTangier is a unique island community that is experiencing dynamic environmental change in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay. Storms\, erosion\, and subsidence have reduced the low-lying island’s area by more than two-thirds since 1850. The community of about 300 residents have found ways to prosper and have adapted their own form of vernacular architecture to suit the environment. Participants of the day trip will ride a round-trip ferry to the island from either Reedville (Virginia)\, Onancock (Virginia)\, or Crisfield (Maryland). While coming into Mail Boat Harbor participants will see the vernacular crab houses and then have an opportunity to eat lunch at a local restaurant. A 30-minute golf cart tour will provide an overview of the island and participants will see the historic Swain Memorial Methodist Church along with other vernacular buildings. Free time will be available for participants to visit the Tangier Island Museum and Interpretive Cultural Center along with other sites. \n1.5 AIA LU | HSW \nAIA Member: $15\nNon-Member: $30 \nRegister Here>>\n*Registration closes on October 1. \nSchedule:\n10:00 – Depart from Ferries (Reedville\, VA\, Onancock\, VA)\n11:30 – Arrive at Tangier’s Thomas main dock\n11:35 – 12:05pm Golfcart Tour (30-minute)\n12:10 – 1:10 Lunch (1-hour)\n1:10-1:30 Walk together to Swain Memorial Methodist Church\, continue walking together to the museum (meet the Mayor)\n1:30-2:15 Free time (talk more with Mayor\, go into museum [$3 entry]\, visit gift shops\, or wander around; museum is about 7 minutes walk back to docks)\n2:15 – Depart Tangier for Reedville\n(departure is 3:30 for Onancock\, VA) \nCosts\n \n\nAIA Virginia tour fee of $15 (AIA member) or $30 (non-member)\nFerry roundtrip $35 (each person needs to confirm and pay the ferry company themselves depending on which port they are traveling from)\nGolf cart 30-minute tour $10 (each person pays the tour provider individually\, CASH is preferred)\nLunch on your own at Lorraine’s Seafood Restaurant\n\nFerry Links\n(MAKE YOUR RESERVATION IN ADVANCED.

SUMMARY:Historic Resources Committee Trivia Mixer
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Virginia’s Historic Resources Committee for our annual Virtual Trivia Mixer! \nMix up a cocktail (or mocktail) and join us for a night of trivia and fun. Connect with the preservation community in Virginia and test your knowledge of the built environment. \nRegister online. \nBYO Cocktail/Mocktail\nGrumpy Old Man\nThe “Grumpy Old Man” is a simple\, modern bourbon cocktail (bourbon\, ginger ale\, and lime juice). The name “Grumpy Old Man” appears to be a modern\, playful label that alludes to the drink’s bold\, unapologetic flavor profile and its simple\, old-school ingredients\, rather than complex or trendy mixers. The name is meant to be endearing and a little cheeky\, suggesting a simple drink for someone who knows what they like and is perhaps “grumpy” about modern fads. The drink’s history is tied to its simplicity (just bourbon\, ginger ale\, and lime). It is a twist on a Moscow Mule (which uses vodka) or a Kentucky Mule (which uses bourbon)\, providing a familiar but distinct flavor: \nAn Old Fashioned glass\nIce\nBurbon\nLime Juice\nLime Wedge\nGinger Ale \nCranberry-Ginger Fizz Mocktail \n2 oz. sweetened cranberry juice\n2 oz. ginger beer\n2 oz. sparkling cider\, such as Martinelli’s\nLime slice\, for garnish

SUMMARY:Procrastinator's Series: Embodied Carbon with The Beauty of Block
DESCRIPTION:Join AIAVA for our Procrastinator series – a series of Lunch and Learn sessions for those of us who couldn’t get around to it before now. These sessions are for you if you happen to be running behind on your learning units for the year or waiting till the last minute\, because we get it. \n\nWe hope you’ll join us! \n\n1 AIA LU | HSW \nREGISTER \nDescription:\nThis is the first course in our CMU embodied carbon series\, focusing on how concrete masonry units (CMU) differ from traditional wet-cast concrete in terms of carbon impact. We will set the stage for the concrete and carbon sequestration discussion by looking at the larger geologic carbon cycle and greenhouse gas emissions; and how it all relates to climate change. We will then look at the concrete carbon cycle and recent CMHA sequestration research and testing which demonstrates the accelerated sequestration rates substantially reducing the overall embodied carbon of dry-cast CMU construction. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Explore how concrete masonry construction offers interconnected sustainability strategies.\n2. Explore the relevant similarities and differences between dry-cast concrete masonry units (CMU) and wet-cast concrete. These differences are why CMU assemblies have lower embodied carbon and increased carbon sequestration rates.\n3. Define terms that describe how concrete masonry construction fits into the climate change conversation and explain why concrete sequesters carbon dioxide.\n4. Review sequestration research conducted by the Concrete Masonry and Hardscapes Association (CMHA) that separates CMU from other types of concrete when evaluating embodied carbon

SUMMARY:Procrastinator's Series: Design Beyond Glass: Branding\, Performance\, and Safety Through Architectural Film Applications in Modern Workspaces with Decorative Films
DESCRIPTION:Join AIAVA for our Procrastinator series – a series of Lunch and Learn sessions for those of us who couldn’t get around to it before now. These sessions are for you if you happen to be running behind on your learning units for the year or waiting till the last minute\, because we get it. \nWe hope you’ll join us! \n\n1 AIA LU | HSW \nREGISTER \nDescription:\nThis course explores how architectural films transform glass and other surfaces to enhance privacy\, elevate design\, and express brand identity within modern work environments. Participants will learn how decorative\, branded\, solar\, safety\, exterior\, and bird-safety films support productive\, visually cohesive spaces while also offering opportunities for improved comfort\, sustainability\, and occupant well-being. Emphasis is placed on responsible design practices\, including the use of film as a retrofit strategy that gives existing glass new life—reducing waste\, extending material longevity\, and supporting environmentally conscious building improvements. The course highlights creative applications\, emerging trends\, and best practices for using film as a strategic medium to enrich user experience\, strengthen identity\, and deepen consumer connection through narrative-driven and emotionally resonant design. \nLearning Objectives:\n1. Identify how architectural films can enhance privacy\, aesthetics\, and overall spatial quality to support productive and visually cohesive work environments\, and how retrofitting existing glass with film can extend material life and reduce waste.\n2. Understand the ways decorative\, branded\, and custom film applications contribute to expressing identity\, strengthening brand storytelling\, and improving consumer connection while facilitating healthier\, safer\, and environmentally responsible building outcomes.\n3. Discuss how various film types—including solar\, safety\, exterior\, and bird-safety films—can offer additional opportunities for improved comfort\, environmental responsibility\, and occupant well-being when incorporated thoughtfully into design solutions.\n4. Apply best practices for selecting and specifying film solutions that align design intent\, privacy needs\, branding goals\, and broader environmental or performance considerations within modern architectural spaces.
