SUMMARY:Placemaking Summit 2026
DESCRIPTION:AIA Las Vegas Placemaking Summit\nCultural Landscapes of Las Vegas: Preservation VS Reinvention\nHistoric preservation and architecture are deeply intertwined\, they’re essentially two sides of the same coin\, shaping how we interpret\, and protect the built environment over time. As cities evolve under pressure\, we are increasingly asked to navigate the tension between preserving the past and building for the future. This summit convenes architects\, planners\, developers and cultural leaders to discuss the evolving relationship between preservation and redevelopment in Southern Nevada. Drawing from local perspectives\, including insights shaped by institutions like The Neon Museum\, the conversation will examine how design decisions are made in a unique landscape such as Las Vegas\, where cultural memory\, economic pressure\, and identity are constantly in flux. \nCredits: 3 LU | HSW \nSession highlights include: \nAdaptive Reuse as SustainabilityExploring how existing structures are reimagined for new use\, from warehouses to lofts and galleries. Topics include material reuse\, reduced demolition waste\, and creative design within existing constraints\, with examples of adaptive reuse across the city. \nUrban Redevelopment & RevitalizationA look at how preservation can serve as an anchor for urban renewal\, and the role cultural institutions play in maintaining living history amid ongoing city-wide transformation. \nCultural Storytelling Through DesignHow preserved architecture reflects and communicates the stories of communities\, craftsmanship\, and social and economic history—preserving identity through the built environment. \nEvent Agenda\n1:00 – 1:30 PM – Check-In & Lunch\nWelcome reception · Networking \n1:30 PM – Welcome from AIA Leadership\nOpening remarks \n1:35 PM – Brett Robillard\, AIA\nGensler: Historic Commercial Center Vision Plan \n2:35 PM – Break \n2:45 PM – A Conversation about The Historic Westside\nConversation featuring Dedra Edmond-Drew and Melvin Green\, AIA\, Jackson Street Alliance\, and Valentine Strategies \n3:45 PM – Robert Finnegan\, PE\nFEA Consulting Engineers \n4:45 PM – Closing Discussion\nLed by Erik Swendseid\,AIA \n5:00 PM – Event Ends \nThank you to Advocate Sponsor\nWalter P Moore \nThank you to Ally Sponsor\nGensler
