As a result\, UDream is responsible for more than 85% of all Black and Hispanic Architecture graduate students at Carnegie Mellon University. Additionally\, the city of Pittsburgh saw over a 400% increase in underrepresented minority representation in Architecture\, with 40-63% remaining in Pittsburgh with permanent jobs at the end of the program each year. \n  \nPresenters: \nErica Cochran-Hameen PhD\, Assoc. AIA\, NOMA is the Director of Diversity\, Equity and Inclusion\, the Co-Director of the Center for Building Performance and Diagnostics (CBPD)\, Track Chair of the Doctor of Design Program and an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) School of Architecture. Erica’s research is widely published and she leads global research projects focused on Equitable Sustainability\, Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ)\, energy efficiency\, and energy policy.\n \nMarc Mondor\, AIA\, Principal with evolveEA\, AIA Pennsylvania 2020 President and Inaugural Chair of the AIA PA EDI Committee knows first hand the benefits that the UDream program has brought to the city of Pittsburgh and his firm\, evolveEA.  Marc is pleased that the UDream  program created a win-win for his firm and for the region\, giving promising interns relevant experience\, while giving firms a depth that wouldn’t otherwise exist.  \n  \nIntroduction by: \nAshley Cox\, AICP\, is an Associate at evolveEA.  Ashley leads collaborative processes to promote economic\, environmental and social resilience.

However\, the current linear economy makes it difficult for buildings to truly achieve “net-positive waste”\, meaning that more material resources are generated than wasted over the course of a building’s life. \n  \n  \nLearn more on the conference program web page URL:https://evolveea.com/event/living-future-2023/ LOCATION:Washington DC END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
