SUMMARY:Designing for the Mojave Aesthetic: A Conversation on Native Landscaping Policy\, Practice\, and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Las Vegas is at an inflection point. As water scarcity intensifies and design standards evolve\, the case for native and regionally adaptive landscaping has never been stronger — yet barriers in procurement\, policy\, and perception continue to slow adoption. This panel brings together leading voices across design\, horticulture\, policy\, and practice to explore what it truly means to design with the Mojave\, not against it. \nJoin the Placemaking Committee for a dynamic\, moderated conversation that unpacks the history and aesthetics of native versus introduced plant material\, the real-world costs and maintenance demands of native landscaping\, the current challenges in sourcing and procurement\, and the evolving policies shaping what’s possible on our sites and in our communities. \nIn this session\, you’ll explore: \n\nThe aesthetic and cultural context behind our region’s relationship with introduced versus native plant material\nBarriers to adopting native plants — and how the industry is beginning to overcome them\nThe true cost comparison between native and imported landscaping\, including long-term maintenance\nWhat’s changing in policy and procurement to expand access to native and better-suited plant material\n\nModerated by: Jazmine Harris\, AIA — Placemaking Committee Chair\, AIA Las Vegas \nPanelists: Norm Schilling | Melissa Gonzalez | Kym Martin \nThis event is presented by the AIA Las Vegas Placemaking Committee as part of its ongoing commitment to design excellence\, sustainability\, and the transformation of the built environment in Southern Nevada. \nNote: Classroom assignment is subject to change. Updates will be communicated prior to the event.

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. \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.

SUMMARY:The Amenity Arms Race\, How Community-Driven Spaces Are Reshaping Multifamily Living
DESCRIPTION:As resident expectations continue to evolve\, multifamily developers and design professionals are being challenged to think beyond traditional amenity offerings and toward more intentionally community-centered environments. This course explores the rise of the “amenity arms race” — a competitive design landscape in which lifestyle-focused features are increasingly defining the perceived value of multifamily communities. \nParticipants will examine how amenities such as dog parks and relief areas\, pickleball courts\, putting greens\, and curated outdoor recreational spaces are reshaping how residents choose\, experience\, and remain loyal to where they live. Beyond the physical features themselves\, the course investigates how thoughtful site planning and strategic amenity integration can foster genuine human connection\, promote resident wellness\, and cultivate a stronger sense of community. Attendees will leave with practical frameworks for evaluating and designing amenity programs that are not only market-responsive but meaningfully community-driven. \nJoin Peter Berquist from ForeverLawn Las Vegas for this virtual continuing education session. \nCredits: 1 LU|HSW
