The AIA International Global Mentorship Program invites everyone to join our 2026 Kickoff Session on April 24.

When: Friday 24 April 2026 - Time to be confirmed
Where: Online

Description

Join the AIA International Global Mentorship Program’s first group session!

The theme of the 2026 AIA International Mentorship Program is Design by Discovery. 

To design is to experiment. By questioning norms and continuously testing ideas, we unlock new forms, materials, and spatial experiences. This series highlights the power of experimentation—from re-use to radical rethinking—to expand the limits of what architecture and design can be. Participants are invited to share and discover processes that challenge, refine, and ultimately elevate our practice.

The mentorship program includes regular digital group events which are open to all, as well as digital one-to-one mentoring.

To participate in the 2026 program, please fill out the form and REGISTER HERE >>>.

You can register to participate as a mentor / mentee, or affiliate and receive regular email updates. To participate as a mentor / mentee, please complete the registration by June 1st.

This program is open to all to participate.

If you have any questions, please contact Amanda Bryant at emergingprofessionals@aiainternational.org

Description

The building community has developed numerous terms to identify roof typology.  Specifically, several sustainable roof systems and membrane types are identified by color.  These include white - reflective membranes; green – vegetative roof systems; blue – water retention roof systems; purple -which is a combination of vegetative and water retention and black – traditional membranes.

The speakers will offer their perspective on these different systems including their advantages and disadvantages for both the technical roofing and sustainable aspects of these roofs.  Case studies will be used throughout the presentation to illustrate key points.
