TAFEL HALL Panels (ONLINE UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE) – SOME DATES TO BE DETERMINED.

Panel Topic:  ADA at Thirty — Accessibility Solutions in Historic Structures- Case studies of successful creative projects that extend the useful life and safety of historic buildings that are Landmarked or in an Historic District.  The committees involved in this project have decided to make it a one-night panel rather than a daytime workshop – date to be determined.  Special Project digital publication on the AIANY website is planned.  Joint Event w/ Historic Buildings Committee, Building Codes Committee, Public Architecture Committee.

Panel Topic:  Asian Models for Senior Care – Christine and Ted have developed some ideas to further guide and focus our development of this panel which will include a representative from each of three or four major Asian cities.  Possible cities:  Manila, Seoul, Taipei, Singapore, Tokyo.

Other Business:  Brian reviewed his meeting with the AIA President and other committee chairs.  They discussed the theme “Just Practice” which entails equity, inclusion, affordable housing, senior housing, ADA, and post-Covid city.  Brian presented our DFA’s Accessibility for Historic Structures and Senior Housing in Asian Cultures event programs.  President Lamberti said she would distribute the board’s policy statements for 2022, and she suggested that we at DFA consider participating in the 2 ongoing policy discussions, one on shared intergenerational housing (including Accessory Dwellings and Basement units), and the other about Post-Covid City planning.
