SUMMARY:Fundraiser for Congresswoman Dina Titus
DESCRIPTION:Join Host Committee members Gary Williams\, AIA\, James Horvath\, AIA\, Jonathan Sparer\, FAIA\, Carlos D. Fernandez & ArchiPAC\, the American Institute of Architects Political Action Committee\, for an evening in support of Congresswoman Dina Titus\, a fighter for Southern Nevada. \nWhy This Matters to AIA Members\nStrong communities depend on thoughtful design\, resilient infrastructure\, attainable housing\, and a fair process for delivering public projects—priorities that transcend party lines and bring people together around the value of the built environment. \nRep. Dina Titus has consistently worked with architects and design professionals on these issues\, using her position on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to support policies affecting federal buildings\, infrastructure\, resilience\, emergency management\, and communities across Nevada. \nAs the lead House sponsor of the Democracy in Design Act\, she has championed a bipartisan principle central to our profession: that federal architecture should reflect the diversity\, character\, and needs of the communities it serves rather than a single government-mandated style. She has also supported efforts to expand housing resources for fast-growing states such as Nevada\, helping address one of the most urgent challenges facing our region. \nThis event is an opportunity for Southern Nevada’s architecture and design community to come together\, engage in the civic process\, and support a proven advocate for design freedom\, stronger communities\, and the important role architects play in shaping our shared future.

SUMMARY:CE: Reflected Solar Energy of Glazing Systems in Buildings
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a strategic virtual Continuing Education session presented in partnership with the National Glass Association. When a curved glass tower in Las Vegas gained notoriety as the “Death Ray” for generating temperatures capable of melting pool umbrellas\, it provided our local industry with a quantifiable\, high-profile case study on the severe consequences of unmitigated solar reflection. Concave façades can focus reflected sunlight mathematically similarly to a magnifying glass\, and even flat\, uncoated glazing reflects a baseline percentage of solar radiation. This session systematically breaks down the physics behind reflected solar energy\, analyzing how sun angles\, building orientation\, material variables\, and glazing performance metrics intersect to determine the trajectory and intensity of reflected heat and light. \nBy understanding these environmental and architectural variables\, AIA\, Assoc. AIA\, and Allied members will gain the analytical tools necessary to transform our built environment safely. Attendees will leave with practical\, data-driven design considerations for site planning\, material selection\, and glazing specification. This proactive approach empowers our design community to mitigate solar reflectivity risks long before construction begins\, ensuring that our projects elevate rather than negatively impact their surrounding public spaces. \nSpeakers:\nRaymond Roy\nRegional Technical Advisor – Guardian Glass \nSara Neiswanger\nDirector of Membership – National Glass Association

SUMMARY:Exclusive Members-Only Event: Fireside Chat with Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto
DESCRIPTION:Decoding H.R. 6644: Navigating the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act \nNevada’s residential development landscape is entering a transformative era. On July 11\, 2026\, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act (H.R. 6644) officially became federal law\, passing with overwhelming bipartisan support. To help our members strategically navigate this major legislative shift\, AIA Las Vegas is hosting an exclusive\, members-only Fireside Chat with U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto. Together\, we will dissect the immediate implications of this new law and analyze what it means for the future of our local built environment. \nMarket data consistently highlights a severe deficit in accessible housing inventory across Nevada\, driving up costs and limiting community growth. H.R. 6644 deploys a multi-pronged legislative approach to address this by boosting national inventory\, aggressively streamlining construction regulations\, and restricting large corporate buyers. During this intimate dialogue\, we will analyze these new statutory mechanisms\, focusing heavily on how streamlined regulations will accelerate project timelines\, alter funding viability\, and directly impact the architectural pipeline in Southern Nevada. \nAligning directly with our vision to transform the built environment through design\, advocacy\, and education\, this fireside chat offers unparalleled access to high-level civic discourse. You will leave with a clear\, analytical understanding of how the newly enacted 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will drive the economic and architectural future of Las Vegas.

SUMMARY:CE Luncheon: Designing Safe\, Code-Compliant Residential Stairways with JD Stairs
DESCRIPTION:Navigating stairway building codes doesn’t have to be a roadblock. Join AIA Las Vegas & JD Stairs for a 90-minute course where we unpack a decade of IRC updates (2012-2021) and establish a clear\, critical path for compliant stair design. \nThis session goes beyond the classroom with an interactive shop tour\, giving AIA\, Assoc. AIA\, and Allied members a hands-on look at how these codes come to life in fabrication. \nCredits 1.5 HSW \nLunch & Tour Included \nCourse Description\nThe International Residential Building Code (IRC) is the most widely adopted model code for 1 and 2 family homes. Significant changes in the IRC over the years have widely affected the design of stairways. Building codes applicable to Stairways\, Handrails and Guards are a minimum standard of safety that can be easily exceeded providing an additional margin of safety for residential occupants and provide the aesthetic desired. Recent changes have clarified many issues previously subject to wide interpretation. Many of these changes have already been adopted by local jurisdictions or are being considered. An understanding of the intent and direction of the IRC model code and how it is applied to the design\, specification and construction of stairways will be provided. This course requires completion of the AIA evaluation to receive credit and certificate of completion \nLearning Objectives \n\nDistinguish between minimum safety standards and opportunities to exceed them using the IRC model code and essential concepts of safe stair design.\nApply and employ the recommended critical path for compliant stairway design to any existing project.\nIdentify the functions of a handrail\, design/specify appropriate profiles in compliance with the IRC model code and define the differences in handrails and guards critical to functional design of safe stairways.\nIdentify the significant changes occurring in the 2012\, 2015\, 2018 and 2021 IRC model codes affecting residential stairway design.

SUMMARY:Designing Walkable Communities for a Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:Las Vegas defined rapid urban expansion as the fastest-growing city in the United States from 1970 to 2025. Driven by a staggering 40.1% population surge between 2000 and 2010 alone\, our valley expanded outward\, creating an endless expanse of single-family suburban neighborhoods. This geometric\, heavily automobile-dependent footprint has led to a critical strategic question for our profession: Will Las Vegas remain livable in 2050\, and how can we successfully transition residents from their cars to the pavement? \nCurrently\, our valley lacks fundamental walkability. The pattern of rapid outward growth outpaced denser\, mixed-use development\, resulting in commercial areas that are entirely disconnected from residential neighborhoods. We navigate this reality daily—whether it is a punishing quarter-mile trek across the hot pavement of Commercial Center just to grab coffee\, or the dangerous\, auto-centric streetscapes of Spring Mountain Road. The creation of post World War Two suburbia created a seemingly idyllic home with a protected backyard and Weber Grill\, but with Suburbia also came its discontents of an increasingly isolated world \nSprawling on the fringes of the city\nIn geometric order\nAn insulated border\nIn-between the bright lights\nAnd the far unlit unknown \nGrowing up it all seems so one-sided\nOpinions all provided\nThe future pre-decided\nDetached and subdivided\nIn the mass production zone \nNowhere is the dreamer\nOr the misfit so alone \nSubdivisions \nNeil Pert\, Rush \nAs AIA\, Assoc. AIA\, and Allied members\, our mission is not to advocate for an idealized return to a pre-war era\, but to design forward. We must ask ourselves: What are the opportunities for impactful design within our existing growth patterns? Furthermore\, how can the design and construction industry leverage advocacy and education to shape strategic planning\, development priorities\, and zoning processes? \nJoin the Housing Committee for a panel discussion on how to build vibrant\, connected communities against the secular forces of sprawl. This session will empower our members with the analytical insights and strategic tools needed to elevate our communities and transform our built environment. \nEvent Details\nModerator: \n\nDavid Kim – Hatchwell Studios\n\nPanelists: \n\nMiguel Davila-Uzcategui (RTC) – State Assembly District 15 Winner of Democratic Primary Election\nMike Howe (CLV) – Historic West Side\nShane Terry – Ritual Development Group\n\n\nAIA Las Vegas is committed to inspiring and empowering members to elevate our communities. Join us as we explore how the power of design\, advocacy\, and education can reshape the future of the Las Vegas Valley.
