All-electric homes are becoming more and more common in California. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are also becoming a common way to house people in California. Establishing the owner’s project requirements and associated performance targets and metrics allows comparative evaluation of different design strategies and options. It also generates the data used in reporting for the 2030 Commitment.

Meet Adeline Leung | Member Spotlight
Adeline Leung, a recent graduate from UC Berkeley, and AIA East Bay Student Director, was inspired to become an architect after returning to the states from living in densely populated Hong Kong for 14 years. Living in the skyscraper-laden Hong Kong and then moving to California with its open spaces and greenery made her “appreciate how the built environment shapes how people live and work and don’t get sick in their buildings.” This spurred her desire to explore the more sustainable side of architecture.

Bay Area Computational/Virtual Architecture Critique Group
Delta_Ark Studios (Ari Kalinowski) is running a critique group for computational, virtual and robotic architecture. If you're interested in grasshopper, architecture for game worlds or VR, complex systems and/or robotics, please take a look at their meetup page and apply! They are trying to keep the group small and relatively intimate. They'll start online, and then slowly move to in-person; so, it's preferable if you're within a stone's throw of Oakland. Their first critique is Monday March 28th, but they will be meeting weekly or every two weeks after that.
