Mike has spoken to hundreds of engineering and architectural colleagues across the country about the advantages of wood for mid rise mixed use podium structures. Using a multimedia program that incorporates historic photos, video interviews, extensive technical research, and code analysis Mike provides an entertaining and thorough analysis of all wood podium design using the recently completed Galt Place project in historic downtown Galt CA as a case study.
Over the last six months Mike’s hour long talk has been featured at a national webinar as well as seminars and conferences in Seattle, Portland, Oakland, Los Angeles, Irvine, Baltimore, Atlanta, Washington DC. Future events are slated for Raleigh, Norfolk VA, and Decatur GA (June) and Chicago (September).
Applied Architecture’s Lincoln Mortensen has also been on the road with this presentation to Charlotte and Boston.
