SUMMARY:LAF - Research 101 for Landscape Architecture Practitioners Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Curious about how to bring research into your design firm’s work? Interested in collaborating with academics\, subconsultants\, or clients on research-informed projects? Whether your office formally engages in research or you’re simply interested in grounding your design process in evidence and inquiry\, this webinar will introduce core research concepts tailored to landscape architecture practitioners — especially those who never received formal research training or who have not revisited research methods since their schooling. \nPresenters will explore how designers can transition from production-focused ways of thinking to more inquiry-driven\, research-oriented approaches. Attendees will gain an understanding of different types of research (from basic to applied to advocacy research)\, how to ask researchable questions\, and what makes practice-based research rigorous and credible. The presenters will also touch on conducting literature reviews\, collaborating with partners\, communicating findings effectively\, and translating the concept of peer review outside of an academic context. \nREGISTER NOW

SUMMARY:AI\, the BS Savant and Autocognition
DESCRIPTION:Location: In Person at CAPLA West\, Room 220 & Online via Zoom \nThis talk surveys AI’s evolution\, from narrow systems automating human tasks to today’s hype around AGI. I argue current models won’t reach AGI\, but rapid innovation may produce non-human-like AGI soon. Before that\, machines will outperform humans in many “intelligent” tasks\, reshaping academia and society. After AGI\, all bets are off. \nAttribution: Written by me with help from a grammar checker. This abstract was later used as a GPT-5 prompt to co-develop the slide presentation. \nProfessor P. Bryan Heidorn\, Associate Dean for Research in the College of Information Science\, has decades of experience in AI—from early NLP systems to machine learning research. His roles at NSF and UA have made him a keen observer of AI through deep engagement with proposals and papers \nLearn More
