This summer, small groups of practitioners gathered in Reimagine Buildings Summer Labs to explore some of the biggest questions facing high-performance building today. From how we plan for survivability in extreme conditions, to the role of AI in design, to scaling fire resilience and nature-based materials, these peer-to-peer conversations dug deep into emerging challenges and opportunities.
Now it’s time to open the doors and share what they’ve been working on.
At Field Notes: Summer Lab Report, each Lab will present a handful of takeaways from their summer explorations. You’ll hear directly from practitioners who have spent the season debating, testing, and learning together—and come away with practice-based insights you can apply to your own work.
Get a front-row seat to the conversations practitioners have been having all summer.
Dive deeper into critical topics like survivability, AI, fire resilience, and material innovation.
Take away fresh, field-tested ideas you won’t find anywhere else.
Join the conversation and connect with the people experimenting at the edge of practice.
If you’re curious about what’s next for high-performance building, this event is for you. Architects, engineers, builders, policymakers, educators, students, anyone invested in resilient, sustainable design will walk away with new insights and connections.
You don’t need to have been part of the summer Labs. Just bring your curiosity and get ready to learn from the inside conversations that have been shaping the field this season.
This free presentation will take place on Wednesday, September 24th at 9am PT / 12pm ET and will be followed by a lively Q+A session. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from an industry leader and engage with the PHA community. See you there!
