SUMMARY:Advocacy Roundtable: Lessons Learned from Missing Middle Typologies
DESCRIPTION:Each month\, the AIA Austin Advocacy Roundtable brings together professionals to discuss strategies individual professionals\, practices\, and AIA Austin can take to proactively advocate for issues important to our members and the larger community. This month’s roundtable brings together practitioners with direct experience delivering Missing Middle housing\, ranging from three-unit HOME developments to small multifamily buildings\, for a candid discussion of the lessons they learned. \nThe conversation will be grounded in real world insights: what worked\, what didn’t\, and what surprised them. Topics will include the practical challenges specific to these typologies\, such as parking strategies\, trash and utility servicing\, attached vs. detached configurations\, shared tenant space design\, building management\, and how these projects actually perform in the market. Keith Mars\, Director of Austin Development Services\, will join the panel\, bringing a regulatory and review-process perspective alongside the practitioners’ on-the-ground experience. \nLearning Objectives \n\nIdentify site planning and unit configuration strategies\, including parking\, utility access\, trash service\, and attached versus detached arrangements\, that have proven effective in the design and permitting of small-scale multifamily housing in Austin.\nAnalyze the regulatory and permitting constraints most commonly encountered in 3-to-20 unit residential projects\, drawing on practitioner experience and the perspective of Austin’s Development Services Department.\nCompare the design and management challenges associated with shared tenant spaces\, building operations\, and market reception across missing middle housing typologies\, using case studies from Austin practitioners.\nApply lessons learned from built and unbuilt missing middle projects to identify creative solutions and anticipate common obstacles in future small-scale multifamily design and development.\n\nBring your lunch and join us!\n1.5 LU/HSW (pending). $5 AIA members /$20 non-members\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Urban Design Speaker Series: Jill Amezcua
DESCRIPTION:The Urban Design Committee’s 2026 Speaker Series continues this month with Jill Amezcua of Austin Planning\, Urban Design Division who will share more about ongoing updates to the Great Streets Plan. Adopted in 2001\, the Great Streets Program ” aims to enhance the livability\, safety\, vitality\, and aesthetics of Downtown Austin by designing streets for everyone rather than primarily for vehicles that drive through the heart of Austin.” Through community engagement\, the plan will now be updated to incorporate related City plans and initiatives and modernize strategies to improve the pedestrian experience. \nWe’ll discuss ways that this project prioritizes the public realm and exemplifies the principles of urbanism through placemaking and thoughtful design. \nNo CE\, but lunch will be provided. To help us plan lunch\, please register below.\nRegister Here \n\nAbout 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. The Urban Design Committee\, in concert with allied community and professional groups\, promotes programs that teach and inform professionals and the public about the design and development of quality urban spaces and environments. \nAll are welcome to the Urban Design Committee meetings. Meetings are held the 4th Wednesday of each month at 12:00 PM. Information provided in to our mailing list. Sign up for our mailing list here
