Christine Mondor FAIA will co-present on June 3, 2:40pm-3:40pm

Session 7 – Sustainable Design & Housing Equity for Bozeman’s Missing Middle

Behind the Bridger View Neighborhood project is a compelling story that touches on all objectives of the conference (Resilience, Housing, Transportation, Equity, and Replicability). Bridger View is a compact neighborhood of 62 sustainably built homes that is adjacent to Bozeman’s Story Mill Community Park. It sits on 8 acres with shared open spaces and pedestrian connections to the park and local trail systems. Half of the homes at Bridger View will be held in the Headwaters Community Housing Trust, providing permanent home ownership opportunities for middle-income Bozeman residents. This unique neighborhood addresses housing inequity, creates a connected and compact neighborhood, and promotes sustainable building practices. While many projects strive to address environmental concerns, housing inequity, or challenge the traditional development practices, Bridger View achieves all three, providing solutions to systemic issues and serving as a model for future development.

Presented by Ben Lloyd, AIA, LEED AP, Principal, Hennebery Eddy Architects; Christine Mondor, FAIA, LEED AP, EcoDistricts AP, Principal, evolveEA; Kelly Olinger, Member, Headwaters Community Trust Board/Adj. Professor of Architecture, Montana State University

The Architecture Media Politics Society (AMPS) annual conference this year focuses on (IN)TANGIBLE HERITAGE(S).

Picking up strands of art, architecture, design and socio-cultural debates found throughout the twentieth century (and before) this conference welcomes reconsiderations of ‘heritage’ as both a tangible and an intangible concept. It seeks perspectives from design, architecture, cultural theory, social history, technology and the arts. It seeks to overlay our notions of the digital, on ideas of heritage and concepts of physicality and the present.

The conference will take place both in-person at the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK and online June 15-17, 2022. For more information and to register, visit the conference website.

EDI Resolutions in Action—Bolstering Minority Pipelines & Underserved Communities

Join Marc Mondor, AIA, Principal of evolveEA, and  Erica Cochran Hameen, Assoc. AIA, NOMA, LEED AP, Director, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) at Carnegie Mellon University as they talk about Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at the American Institute of Architects annual conference in June 2022.

Consider that candidates from disadvantaged communities represent a rich talent pool that can enhance the breadth of experience in your firm. Similarly, underserved communities of color are typically bypassed in development scenarios that could yield triple-bottom-line returns. New AIA resolutions have been developed to address these issues. Join us as we review Pittsburgh’s UDream program and urban factors to make the case for involvement and participation.

The 2022 Reclaiming Vacant Properties Conference will bring together leaders under the theme “Responding to Crisis: Building an Equitable and Resilient Future.” As communities face the threats of COVID-19—a public health, housing, and economic crisis—and higher frequency of extreme weather events, there is an urgent need to address the negative impacts of vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties, centering those BIPOC communities that are disproportionally impacted by these multiple crises. RVP is an impactful, inspiring event that showcases cutting-edge policies and practices in the field to revitalize vacant, abandoned, and deteriorated properties as assets for residents, and 2022 will focus on positioning community leaders to radically imagine and create a future that centers equitable development and community resiliency.
