We Came. We saw. We Conquered.
The industry came out in force for JETC 2025. Despite the challenges with government agency travel, we discovered a lot about cybersecurity, AI, new and trending delivery methods, resilient design, and more. New relationships were forged between potential partners. Existing relationships were strengthened. A few prospects were even identified. We want to give a big shout out to the SAME organizers who made this event possible. We look forward to seeing many of you at SAME SBC and JETC 2026.
See you there!
SS&A Design Collective's 2025 JETC Engagement
Shavon Charlot presented at national SAME JETC 2025
Coastal regions present some of the most dynamic and challenging environments for architectural design, where structures must withstand a combination of hurricanes, storm surges, flooding, high winds, seismic, and saltwater corrosion. These hazards not only test the limits of structural resilience but also demand innovative approaches to ensure the functionality, safety, and longevity of buildings.
How can design protect against the strikes of Mother Nature?

SS&A Design Collective exhibited at SAME JETC 2025
After three days of exhibiting, the SS&A team felt accomplished. Dozens of connections were made, and we have stacks of business cards to show for it. If you were one of the lucky ones, you snagged one of our popular canvas bags and custom SS&A-branded M&Ms jars. One person even asked for Shavon Charlot’s autograph. Mission accomplished. Look for our booth at SAME SBC in Phoenix in November 2025.
Where else will we be in 2025?

Coastal Hazards and Impact on Design
Coastal harsh weather events have a tremendous impact on communities, businesses, human life, and the built environment. Communities based in coastal environments are particularly prone to certain types of hazards, which have direct impacts on specific building components. Below is a snapshot of some of the typical coastal climate hazards and the corresponding impacts.

Why Resilient Design is of the Utmost Importance – Now
Most humans are no stranger to natural disasters and harsh weather climate events caused by the wrath of Mother Nature. Almost every corner of Earth is subject to some type of natural disaster – floods, ice, tornados, hurricanes, cyclones, wildfires, extreme heat, earthquakes, drought, and more. Even the driest places on Earth, such as the Atacama Desert in South America and …

3 Best Practices for Resilient Design
With the increase in frequency, severity, costs, and negative impacts from harsh climate events, including natural disasters, perhaps the best defense to protect human life and the built environment is risk mitigation through resilient design. While there are several resilient design strategies that can be implemented from project-to-project, depending on several variables, incl-…
