Driving positive change through the power of design since 1870

This presentation explores how AI technologies are reshaping the AEC industry by automating routine tasks, accelerating iteration, and enabling teams to focus on higher-value work. We’ll break down key subsets of AI—such as Machine Learning, Generative Design, and Large Language Models (LLMs)—and their practical applications, from CAD-to-Revit conversions to client collaboration through image generation. Additionally, we’ll highlight the critical role of well-structured data in leveraging AI and provide insights on how to prepare your organization for seamless AI integration, shifting your focus from process management to delivering design impact.

The Committee on the Environment (COTE) meets the first Wednesday of each month. COTE is currently working on organizing sustainability tours and planning an Ice Box Challenge to advance passive house knowledge in Cincinnati. COTE is looking to grow our active members, if you’re passionate about sustainability, please reach out or join our next meeting!

Join AIA Cincinnati’s Custom Residential Architects Network for a holiday social graciously provided by Hamilton Parker in their Sharonville showroom

This event is free, but RSVP is required by November 27.

AIA Cincinnati’s Early Professionals working group includes recent graduates, professionals working toward licensure, and recently licensed architects. You're invited to join the monthly virtual planning meetings to share ideas, coordinate ARE study materials and study sessions, and plan activities.

In 2025, manufacturers will be required to use low GWP to meet the maximum GWP requirements set by the U.S. EPA. To meet these requirements, manufacturers are being forced to use more 2L rated refrigerants that increase the flammability rating of these refrigerants. This increase in flammability requires more safety precautions during design that impact mechanical and other disciplines, including architectural. This session covers the outlook of the GWP requirements and provides insight into the new requirements due to these increased flammability requirements. 

The Local Advocacy Working Group works to strengthen the position of architects in the building industry by identifying and promoting the issues, policies, and positions important to the profession, the business, and the practice of architecture.

Enjoy a beverage, grab some snacks from the food hall, meet colleagues, and reconnect with friends during this holiday social.

RSVP by December 10  is not required but would be appreciated.
