Roundtable: The Only Constant is Change - Drive the Change You Want to See
Thu, Oct 1, 10:00 PMThere are two elephants in the room … or rather several pairs of elephants: Autodesk monopoly vs AI enabling democratization of tool creation; standards vs openness; simplicity vs complexity; single source or truth vs data translation; trust vs check; drawings vs data deliverable; organic construction process vs datafied world; using AI right vs using AI well; applying standards vs building skills; individual expertise vs institutional knowledge; think it through vs get it done. In this open roundtable conversation, we’ll have plenty of questions to be explored: Are we building better judgment, or slowly outsourcing it? What is reliable? Who is liable? How do we query smarter? What does the law say … and your insurance? But most importantly: You bring your anxieties & questions; we bring the food & beer – and maybe together we can find an answer or two. Join us on Oct 1, 6:00pm. **Learning Objectives** 1. **Identify** the key tensions AI introduces into BIM workflows — including standardization vs. personalization, efficiency vs. foundational knowledge, and individual tool-building vs. collective consistency. 2. **Evaluate** the risks and liability implications of AI-assisted design decisions, including how QA/QC and review processes must adapt when data sources and workflows are no longer centralized. 3. **Assess** how AI is reshaping reliance on established platforms like Autodesk/Revit, and what this means for interoperability, data delivery, and long-term software strategy. 4. **Develop** practical strategies for building (or encoding) domain expertise — through skills, training, and mentorship — so teams can use AI effectively without losing critical judgment and fundamentals. **Microsoft Teams meeting** **Join:** [https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/23420331144527?p=5aSHRxmZK71KchtKI7](https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/23420331144527?p=5aSHRxmZK71KchtKI7 "Meeting join") Meeting ID: 234 203 311 445 27 Passcode: tT63zM3h *** [Need help?](https://aka.ms/JoinTeamsMeeting?omkt=en-US) \| [System reference](https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZGZhNmE4NDEtNTA5Zi00MzkxLTgyYTYtNDMwMDJhZjA1ZmQ4%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%220fc6889f-bf23-4c66-a071-f35150aabdfa%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%225f7aa5b0-d1e9-40e0-8c9d-74b0d20c89d6%22%7d) **Dial in by phone** [+1 531-205-2209,,14583825#](tel:+15312052209,,14583825) United States, Omaha [Find a local number](https://dialin.teams.cloud.microsoft/e1607c7c-f4af-4edc-9d47-10ce22c20bfb?id=14583825) Phone conference ID: 145 838 25# For organizers: [Meeting options](https://teams.microsoft.com/meetingOptions/?organizerId=5f7aa5b0-d1e9-40e0-8c9d-74b0d20c89d6&tenantId=0fc6889f-bf23-4c66-a071-f35150aabdfa&threadId=19_meeting_ZGZhNmE4NDEtNTA5Zi00MzkxLTgyYTYtNDMwMDJhZjA1ZmQ4@thread.v2&messageId=0&language=en-US) \| [Reset dial-in PIN](https://dialin.teams.cloud.microsoft/usp/pstnconferencing)
Inside the next generation of BIM - An evening with Motif in New York City
Tue, Oct 6, 10:00 PMWe're bringing together a small group of architects and builders at NeueHouse Madison Square on October 6 for an exploration of how agent-native, open, collaborative BIM is reshaping how buildings are designed. Join **Amar Hanspal, Tatjana Dzambazova and Matt Jezyk** from the Motif team for a live walk-through of their new product **Motif Design** and a conversation about the next generation of BIM. Space is limited, so registration helps us manage capacity and ensure we can accommodate everyone. Feel free to share the event with colleagues. The time for this event is 6PM - 9PM (EST).
The Gilded Age Revisited! Upper East Side Art & Architecture Tour
Fri, Oct 9, 6:00 PM**Back by popular demand!** RSVPs open up on Wednesday, September 23rd at 9:00pm Space is set aside for new group members, first and 2nd timers who land on the waiting list. Email me to request a spot AFTER you have RSVP. **No repeats if you attend this tour previously.** **Cost**: This tour is free with a voluntary donation to your guide/organizer at the end via cash, Venmo or Zelle. **Overview** This tour we will indulge in the East 80's between 5th Avenue and Park Avenue and the residential architecture of the gilded age which consists of mansions and elegant townhouses often built in the Beaux Arts, and Renaissance Revival styles, and even the Chateau style. We'll cover the history of this area and how and why it developed as an enclave for NYC's wealthy elite and how gilded age wealth gave rise to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and helped establish the Upper East Side as a center of the art world. Starting out at the garden of the Cooper Hewitt museum (pictured in photo), which was originally the mansion home of Andrew and Louise Carnegie, we'll visit several local art galleries during our journey, along with several other indoor locations with spectacular architecture. We will venture inside several buildings that were constructed as gilded age mansions and are now public spaces. **Restrooms before the tour: Tarulucci e Vino Cafe at the Cooper Hewitt Museum.** You can enter the cafe via the garden without having to pay admission to the museum. There is a quick bag inspection by a security guard. There are also public restrooms at the Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest across the street from the garden at 90th Street & 5th Avenue. Once inside the church veer immediately to your right (one stall). **Other nearby options: Met Museum pay what you wish for NY residents. There is also an education entrance near 81st Street where you can go to the rest room withour visiting the museum. And of course any of the other local museums - Guggenheim, Jewish Museum (admission charge).** We'll have a break and restrooms in Central Park or depending on time at the Met Museum's education entrance. **Tour ends at 84th Street & Park Avenue** convenient to the 4,5,6,Q trains and numerous bus routes including the M86 crosstown.

A Decade of Social Science + Architecture
Mon, Oct 19, 10:00 PMJoin us for a special evening celebrating **10 years of the AIA Social Science + Architecture Committee**, a decade of advancing conversations at the intersection of **research, human behavior, equity, advocacy, and the built environment**. Founded on a commitment to **interdisciplinary dialogue and exchange**, the committee has spent the past ten years building a vibrant community of architects, researchers, strategists, educators, and industry leaders exploring how **social science can shape more responsive, inclusive, and human-centered environments**. The evening will bring together **past and present members, collaborators, and co-leaders** for a reflective and forward-looking gathering. Through shared stories, presentations, provocations, and conversation, we will look back on the ideas, partnerships, and impact that have defined the last decade, while also exploring **emerging questions shaping the next ten years of architecture and design**. The event will feature: * A **“by the numbers” look at 10 years of committee impact and programming** * **Reflections from past co-leaders and contributors** * **Dinner conversations** inspired by the committee’s original founding format * **Provocations and future-focused discussions** on the evolving role of social science in architecture * Opportunities to **reconnect with long-term members, collaborators, and the broader design community** At its core, the celebration is about **ideas, community, and the continued belief that architecture is deeply connected to human experience**. We look forward to **celebrating the past 10 years, and imagining the next 10 together**. **Stay Tuned:** We are currently finalizing the details for this event. To ensure you receive the official invitation, please keep an eye on [the AIA NY Social Science and Architecture Committee’s page](https://www.aiany.org/committees/social-science-architecture-committee/) and follow [PLASTARC ](https://plastarc.com/)for updates.
Interior Design, Fashion, et all Biz networking intimate event event opener
Sun, Oct 18, 11:00 PM**This intimate event opener will just be a test event to see how things are going to pan out and I’m still figuring out the detail, but will probably be limited to 25-30 group members in a private event room at the Cowork ing space at Soho works dumbo at 10 Jay st from 7-10 pm rather than a massive event where no one can really get to know one and other.**
