Her work has elevated the architect’s role in urban revitalization\, creating a nationally applicable model for the practice of adaptive reuse by driving citywide policy innovations\, strengthening industry expertise\, and empowering community growth. \nLiljegren is especially known for the creative conversion of historic structures\, starting in 1999 when she worked on the first projects under L.A.’s pioneering Adaptive Reuse Ordinance. She worked for 15 years with Killefer Flammang Architects (KFA)\, where she led the conversion of 12 historic high-rise buildings (totaling over 3\,000 units) in Downtown L.A. and Hollywood. \nLiljegren founded architecture and interiors firm Omgivning in 2009\, as the recession was threatening to halt downtown’s resurgence. Today\, she and her 40-person staff have touched 400+ buildings\, drawing on a rich existing landscape to create programmatically and technically complex hotels\, multi-family housing\, restaurants\, bars\, creative offices and theaters\, often with custom furniture to match. \nLiljegren is a thought leader in the downtown community and is active with city and county officials in crafting policies that ease the challenges of working on existing buildings. \nChristian Jordan\, AIA\nPrincipal\, PJA Architecture\nCo-Founder of the JAMB Collective\nJefferson University Faculty \nChristian Jordan\, AIA is an architect practicing in Philadelphia\, PA.

SUMMARY:Challenges in Low-to Mid-Rise Construction
DESCRIPTION: \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSteadily loosening building code requirements have made wood-framed construction popular – and more inherently risky than ever before.From the threat of fire to reduced strength to pervasive moisture intrusion\, this course will explore the numerous challenges created by wood-framed construction and their root causes in poor detailing\, rushed construction and conflicting code requirements. \n  \nJoin us to learn about the limitations of wood framing and the design tactics – and alternative materials – that can help you build safer\, more resilient structures. \nWHEN: August 13th at 1 pm \nThis course has been approved for 1 AIA LU|HSW \nREGISTER HERE for the Webinar \nAPG UNIVERSITY ONLINE.

SUMMARY:Modern Masonry Using Pre-Blended Mortar
DESCRIPTION: \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nConsider this: mortar accounts for 20% of the mass of a carefully-engineered masonry wall\, but its on-site production is often anything but precise. With wide variations in ingredient quality to environmental conditions to the skill of the person running the mixer\, a single job site can see massive inconsistency in terms of mortar quality and performance – leading to aesthetic and structural deficiencies in your project. \n  \nJoin us as we explore how pre-blended mortars solve for those challenges\, leading to increased construction efficiency\, reduced uncertainty and higher-performing masonry assemblies. \nWHEN: August 27th at 1 pm \nThis course has been approved for 1 AIA LU|HSW \nREGISTER HERE for the Webinar \nAPG UNIVERSITY ONLINE. Presented by Echelon Masonry\nJoin us weekly for AIA-accredited weekly for AIA-accredited webinar discussions with masonry experts to learn about modern masonry solutions to the most pressing challenges in architecture. From health and wellness to energy code to site utilization to advanced modeling tools\, these webinars offer up knowledge you need to succeed in three insight-packed blocks.
