Women in Architecture presents a panel highlighting multi-generational women in the field of architecture, sharing their DECADES of unique experiences and perspectives.
Although Women’s History Month is celebrated in March, the AIA Orlando chapter’s WIA-O committee continues the celebration and presents a panel highlighting multi-generational women in the field of architecture, sharing their DECADES of unique experiences and perspectives.
The lecture will be about the Grimshaw Architects’ design process and approach to an architectural project.
Pre-lecture social starts at 6:30 PM | DeVos Family Room
Presented in collaboration with AIA Orlando and HuntonBrady Architects
This lecture by Christian Hoenigschmid, Associate Principal at Grimshaw Architects in NYC, speaks about the Grimshaw Architects’ design process and approach to architectural projects. The presentation will recap current projects in Miami and Gainesville, as well as transportation projects and how they impact the urban fabric.
About Grimshaw Architects
Founded by Sir Nicholas Grimshaw in 1980, Grimshaw operates worldwide, with offices in New York, Los Angeles, London, Kuala Lumpur, Melbourne, Sydney and Dubai with over 600 staff globally.
The Grimshaw studio is founded on analysis and exploration. We relish the challenges inherent across a wide range of work, engaging our expertise and agility to deliver lasting, meaningful design that brings value and joy to clients and users.
About Christian Hoenigschmid
Associate Principal Christian Hoenigschmid has been with Grimshaw for nearly two decades. Initially based in the London studio, and in New York since 2004, he has overseen design and management of a diversity of landmark projects in the studio’s portfolio. His early Grimshaw work included such relevant projects as the Airside Centre at Zurich Airport, a Cancer Research Institute for University College London and the Experimental Media & Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Recently, he oversaw the design and now construction of the University of Florida’s Wertheim Laboratory for Engineering Excellence. Before that, he delivered a ‘Museum of Steel’ in Monterrey/Mexico—the “horno3: Museo del Acero”—as well as the Frost Museum of Science from competition to completion.
AIA Orlando’s annual Design Awards Gala is one of Florida’s most prestigious and inclusive design honors; bringing together architects, designers, and allied professionals in a celebration of exemplary design for both theoretical and built projects.
The design competition highlights the area’s best architects, designers, and allied professionals, providing them recognition, publicity, press coverage, and exhibition.
Entries to the competition are judged by an independent expert jury panel composed of academics and professionals from the fields of architecture and design.

The first of two workshops, this one is about discerning or discovering your core values. It is for organizations or teams that are just starting out with the process of determining their core values or they wish to revisit them because they don’t feel that they got it right the first time or they need further design and development.
This is a day of discovery where we unearth who you are and what your team represents so that we can build on the best of you and your team. We will use the proprietary Culture Czars workbook, the companion to Will Scott’s book, The Culture Fix. Buy just two seats or bring your whole team to this all day event in Chicago’s coolest event space.
Founded by Will Scott, Culture Czars is passionate about helping leaders provide environments where people thrive so that they can be the best that they can be. We help teams love where they work, which is about the culture, defined by what we call CoreVals and love why they work, which we define as CorePurpose. The end result is teams that are more focussed, loyal, committed and performant.
We help teams discern their CoreVals and then lead them from simply having Core Values to truly having a Valued Culture. We apply our methodologies through speaking, writing, podcasts, workshops and consulting. In all cases, we promote our proven and established 9 deeds in 90 days program to help organizations go from simply having Core Values to truly having a Valued Culture.
NOWhaus is an annual social event led by IIT Institute of Design (ID) students to bring together the greater Chicago design community. The things around us, the experiences that we have, the environment we live in all make us who we are today and inspires us to be a better designer.
Inspired by ID’s history as the New Bauhaus, NOWhaus is a platform for our students, faculty, and staff will share their crazy interests, secret obsessions, quirky observations, and unexpected learnings through fun fast presentations (20 images for 20 seconds each), standup and other storytelling mediums.
Check out pictures from a recent NOWhaus and video from the first NOWhaus. There will also be time to mingle with the Chicago design community at large over food and drinks.
What does my ticket include?
Aside from fun content, swag, and great company, your ticket includes admission, food, and two drink tickets.
The second of two workshops, this one is about going from simply having core values to truly having a valued culture. It is for organizations or teams that have established their core values but are not using them. They are just a poster on the wall or sitting in a drawer.
In this workshop, we will bring your CoreVals alive, make them thrive and use them to drive the organization. This is a day of creativity. Prepare to bring imagery, a theme and maybe music to your culture. Implement recognition systems and create Culture Czars that will champion your unique environment.
Learn about using the CoreScore to evaluate your team and start using CoreVals to hire, un-hire and manage those difficult conversations you’ve been avoiding. We will use the proprietary Culture Czars workbook, the companion to Will Scott’s book, The Culture Fix: Solving C Suite Problems at the Ground Level with 9 deeds in 90 days.
