SUMMARY:Urban Design Speaker Series: Thoughtbarn
DESCRIPTION:The Urban Design Committee’s 2026 Speaker Series will focus on smaller scale development and projects that transform underutilized spaces at the neighborhood scale\, demonstrate creativity in adaptive reuse and inform a sense of place. \nFirst up in our series will be Lucy Begg and Robert Gay of Thoughtbarn to share more about their vision and process for the redevelopment of the former 1960’s Hyde Park Post Office into a lively neighborhood hub that serves as the home of FirstLight Books\, Tiny Grocer\, All Day Pizza and Moogie Pilates. We’ll discuss ways that this project prioritizes the public realm and exemplifies the principles of urbanism through placemaking and thoughtful design. \nLunch will be provided.\nRegister here. \n\nAbout AIA Austin Urban Design \nThe AIA Austin Urban Design Committee aims to improve the quality of the urban environment by promoting excellence in design\, planning\, and public policy in the built environment.

SUMMARY:From Principles to Policy: How Urban Designers Shape the Public Realm
DESCRIPTION:From Principles to Policy: How Urban Designers Shape the Public Realm\n\nWhat does it look like when architects and urban designers work not for clients\, but for cities — and for the people who live in them? This session draws on the work of New York City’s urban design practice to explore how public-sector design can be a powerful force for health\, equity\, and resilience. Through real-world case studies from one of the most complex urban environments in the world\, participants will examine the principles and tools that NYC planners use to shape livable neighborhoods\, equitable public spaces\, and streets that serve all users. Architects working in Austin and across Texas will leave with frameworks they can apply to their own civic contexts\, whether engaging with local planning agencies\, advocating for design quality\, or contributing to neighborhood and corridor studies.\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Sagi Golan\, Associate AIA\n\nDeputy Director of Urban Design\, NYC DCP \nSagi Golan is an architect and urban designer serving as the Deputy Director of Urban Design at the New York City Department of City Planning\, where he leads the design vision and public realm frameworks for major neighborhood plans across the five boroughs. His work operates at the intersection of architecture\, city form\, and public policy\, focusing on translating core urban design principles into zoning tools\, design guidelines\, and strategies that shape how buildings meet the street\, how public spaces function\, and how large-scale development contributes to a cohesive and equitable urban fabric. Sagi will present a case study of Brooklyn’s Gowanus District to explore how public-sector design can be a powerful force for health\, equity\, and resilience. \nIn addition to his public-sector leadership\, Golan teaches graduate urban design at Columbia University’s GSAPP\, coordinating studios that explore urban systems\, climate resiliency\, environmental justice\, and narrative methods. Through his combined practice\, teaching\, and public engagement\, he advances design as both a regulatory framework and a creative instrument for shaping dynamic and accessible environments. \nLearning Objectives \n\nIdentify at least three urban design principles used by NYC’s Department of City Planning\, such as walkability\, ground-floor activation\, and public realm continuity\, and evaluate how each principle protects or enhances the safety and welfare of building occupants and street-level users within their local context.\nAnalyze case studies from NYC’s urban design practice to distinguish which design strategies have the greatest measurable impact on equitable access and community health outcomes\, using the examples presented as a comparative framework.\nApply public-sector urban design decision-making frameworks\, including zoning tools\, design guidelines\, and corridor studies\, to assess how similar approaches could improve health\, safety\, and welfare outcomes in an Austin or Texas context.\nDescribe how co-located\, interdisciplinary urban design units within city planning agencies function as a governance model\, and explain how that model enables long-term design vision that consistently centers the health\, safety\, and welfare of occupants of the built environment.\n\nLocation: Austin Community College Rio Grande Campus (Multipurpose Room)\n1 LU/HSW (pending)\nRegister Here \nReception generously sponsored by Texans for Housing
