AIA NS 2012 Committees
As a firm grows, the need for larger
accommodations for staff in combination with increased funding and resources enables
practices to create more ambitious workplaces that showcase their design prowess and style.
For established firms the studio can help sell clients on the architects design capabilities,
and also help recruit and retain design staff attracted to well-designed
environments.
In the case of firms with multiple staff members,
the office layout and working philosophy can
greatly influence the
culture of the practice. Regardless of how simple
or fancy a design workspace is, it should
effectively support the way the architects work. I
urge professionals to take pride in your place of
practice, and don’t
underestimate how your workspace embodies who
you are as an architect, and can enhance the quality of the work you
produce!

Professional Practice Notes: Places of Practice To put a twist on Winston Churchill’s famous
quote, as architects “we shape our studios; and thereafter they shape us.” As a profession
that earns its living through the creation of spaces and built environments, the places
where architects work have a significant impact on the nature of practice.
The tools of our trade have evolved dramatically over the past 30 years, as
drafting boards and T-squares (as seen in the
ca. 1912 and ca. 1962 images here) have given way to ever smaller and more powerful
portable digital design devices. The variety of our architectural studios is as diverse as the
practice types they house; from the one-person home office
(attic or garage space?), to large
custom designed
offices.
The design studio
influences and reflects t h e c u l t u r e ,
philosophy, style and
business practices of the architect. By
necessity the small p rac t i t i one r and
emerging firms will usually set-up shop in
a home office or compact rental office - making a design
statement is rarely an option at this stage.

AIA Disaster Assistance Program:
Building Evaluation Training
Licensed architects and
engineers from around the region convened in Weston
Lecture Hall at the College of Architecture & Design in
Newark on Saturday December 8, 2012, for a
day-long training session to become certified as Building
Evaluators in the California
Safety Assessment Program (SAP). The
program is managed by Ca l i fo rn i a Eme rgency
M a n a g e m e n t A g e n c y (CalEMA) with cooperation
f r o m p r o f e s s i o n a l organizations, including the
AIA. SAP is the preferred
training standard of the AIA Disaster Assistance Program,
which provides leadership,
advocacy, and training to
architects who are interested in volunteering their professional
skills in times of crisis. It utilizes volunteers and mutual aid
r e s o u r c e s t o p r o v i d e professional engineers and
architects and certified building inspectors to assist local
g o ve rnme n t s i n s a f e t y
evaluation of their built environment in an aftermath of
a disaster. During the workshop participants were
instructed in techniques to c o n du c t r a p i d d a ma g e
assessments of structures affected by earthquakes, wind,
and water. Many of your
colleague architects in the area are now able to consistently and
safely assess structures for
habitability and will receive a
Building Evaluator license from the State of California.
A few who attended were interested in assisting in the
aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. All received HSW
continuing education units and may be called upon to
serve in a disaster zone in
the future.
