RISING21
A Symposium on Climate,
Equity, Energy Efficiency
& Carbon-Neutral DesignRISING21 is a practical symposium presented by the AIA New Orleans 2030 Committee.
A 2-day Virtual event— 4 hours per day on Thursday and Friday November 11-12— will cover a range of pressing climate-change issues and cutting-edge solutions including:
- Overview of energy efficiency practices, timeline and targets, net-zero design practices, and material considerations.
- Cross-disciplinary working groups
- Case Studies
- Introduction of emerging tools that test, measure and verify design performance
We invite architects, MEP professionals and all city/urban planners to embrace these challenges and seek solutions through the RISING21 symposium.

Redefining VALUE: Building Resilience to Collectively Thrive
From the Climate Crisis to climate in our lives, there are impacts everywhere and impacts coming. We’re learning our role as the built environment community in the arc of progress, and we know what we can do collectively. In Redefining VALUE, we can determine the value of design and its relationship to climate, examine who is at the table, and work toward collective action.
