The world faced its first prison boom in the late 1700s. Prior to the prison boom, society relied mostly on torture and exile. Since the 19th century, incarceration has been a controversial topic all around the world. America specifically has a reputation for unjust and outdated prisons. This presentation will explore how prison design can impact the lives of not only the inmates but also the lives of prison guards. What sort of design elements work for penitentiaries and which design elements tend to negatively impact those who inhabit these spaces? In other words, how does design and psychology intersect in regard to confinement?

True sustainability comes from groups of individuals sharing common expectations, norms and habits that benefit our environment and community every day - a culture of sustainability. It happens where each of us lives, works, and learns.

Join us for the 2018 Louisville Sustainability Summit where we expect that over 250 members of our community will connect to discover successes, identify opportunities, and creatively learn from each other about real steps to create this culture at your place of work, worship, and learning. This is Louisville's annual opportunity for everyone interested in sustainability to gather under one roof. Our Keynote speaker will be David W. Orr, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics (Emeritus) at Oberlin College, and founder of the journal Solutions, who will be addressing how the creation of a culture of sustainability leads to a revitalized local economy, elimination of carbon emissions, and restoration of local agriculture. The vehicle for this lesson is the Oberlin Project. Dr. Orr has authored eight books and is well known for his pioneering work on environmental literacy and ecological design.

University of Louisville will host the event in the newly renovated and expanded Student Activities Center and provide the unique opportunity to learn from their journey to establish a culture of sustainability.

Problem: There is little to no public awareness as to what value Architects provide, their role in crafting a better society, how good design can impact communities, or what career opportunities within Architecture look like. There is also underrepresentation of women and minorities in leadership roles within firms and the profession as a whole.

 

Solution: JA Inspire 2018 - Participation in this event gives us a seat at the table with other industries and disciplines. The start of a larger, cultural conversation.It also gives us the chance to impact and change the lives of young people. We might just inspire someone to become an Architect and change their world.
