President’s Message

Tom Liebel, FAIA

continued on inside back cover.

Change

By the time you read this President’s Letter, it is likely that the delegates at this year’s AIA Convention in Chicago will have voted to significantly change the governance structure of the National AIA.

Fundamentally, the change will consist of reducing the membership of the Board of Directors from more than 50 members down to no more than 16 members, with the goal of creating a more nimble, agile board to respond to emerging issues in a timely fashion. Along with the reduction in board size, a new Strategic Council will be established to provide the venue for a larger number of members to provide the insight and counsel that the larger board composition has provided over the years.

In essence, the Strategic Council will support the convening of a broad and diverse set of interests to help the Institute identify emerging trends and needs of the profession through regional representatives and others affiliated with the AIA, while the Board of Directors will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the organization – controlling property and finances, fixing policies, etc.

This significant change has come at the end of a multi-year study period by the board, involving some of the brightest people I know in the profession. This should be a positive change.

This has me thinking about the nature of change. Contrary to conventional wisdom, I would argue that change is not inevitable – there is a great deal of inertia out there, and a strong inclination amongst many to embrace the status quo, to fear change. But architects are agents of change. Everything we do involves change – every single project we undertake involves a measure of change, otherwise there would be no need for us.

The big question always is – is it change for the better? Or change for the worse? That is the nature of our charge as architects. We have the ability, more than almost any other group or profession, to affect positive change. The choices we make and design decisions we promote have the capacity to make a profound impact on the lives of individuals, on entire communities, and ultimately, entire ecosystems. We also have the ability to develop bad ideas that can have a negative impact on individuals, their communities and, in aggregate, the entire planet.

So, we carry significant responsibility to advocate for positive change. We need to ask ourselves – “Will this idea improve the lives of others? Will it help promote a sense of community and civic engagement? Will this help or hurt the planet and the ability of our children (and all children) to inhabit a better world?”

This is a big responsibility – and a huge opportunity.

Let’s choose wisely.

At this happy hour, which took place May 22 at the Peale Museum, attendees learned about plans for the preservation of this historic building. Commissioned by Rembrandt Peale and designed by Robert Carey Long, the Peale was completed in 1814 as the first structure in the U.S. built specifically as a public museum. There were over 100 attendees at this event exploring the Peale Museum’s different floors, splendid rooms and sculpture garden.

The project includes the restoration of the exterior masonry and ironwork as well as the restoration of historic millwork and plaster on the interior. Participants were able to tour the exterior, the grounds, the museum space inside the base and climb the scaffolding.

Are you interested in a Fall 2014 Supervised Research & Independent Study opportunity to discover Maryland’s first practicing women architects?

• Conduct primary source research to uncover stories and structures of the first women Maryland architects at the Maryland Historical Society, the State Archives, and the AIA National Archives.

• Partner with the Women in Architecture Committee of AIABaltimore and the Historic Architects’ Roundtable of the AIABaltimore/Baltimore Architecture Foundation.

• Have your research displayed in an exhibit scheduled for Women’s History Month in March 2015 at the AIABaltimore Gallery, which will later travel to the Maryland Women’s Heritage Center and possibly Baltimore City Hall Galleries.

1888 marked the first year a woman became a licensed architect in the United States. Although women architects have been practicing in the United States for more than one hundred and thirty years, they lack a prominent presence in history books, popular culture, or even in a modern day architect’s common knowledge. Although women make up fifty percent of architectural education programs, only twenty one percent are currently licensed. For young people seeking to enter architectural practice, knowing the history of female pioneers and the critical role they have played in the profession can provide a sense of hope and confidence.

This research project delves into the history of the remarkable women who, despite the odds against them, became the first licensed architects in the state of Maryland. Who were they? Where did they study? Where did they go on to practice? These women paved the way for future women architects, designers, and even working professionals as a whole. Researching these women’s unique journeys to licensure and beyond recognizes the adversity they faced and celebrates the remarkable accomplishments they made. To sign up for the project, contact:

Tour of Chase Brexton Health Services

,

Please join us for a tour of the new Chase Brexton Health Center, a full service healthcare clinic in the renovated Monumental Life Building. The new facility includes 150,000 square feet of new clinical spaces for medical and dental care and behavioral health services, as wells as patient outreach services, a pharmacy, and community spaces. The modern facilities were designed by the healthcare studio of NBBJ, and the design reflects both extensive pre-design research of client practices and the latest thinking in efficient healthcare architecture. The clinic is located within the shell of the classical revival Monumental Life Building built in 1928. During the renovation, the limestone exterior was re-stored as were historic interior finishes such as gold leaf ceilings, marble floors and walls, and wood paneling. The building serves as a good example of adaptive use, where the owner’s needs were successfully met while respecting the original historic materials.

ELIGIBILITY

ENTRANT ELIGIBILITY

Current AIA and Associate AIA members of AIABaltimore are eligible to submit entries. Entries must be submitted jointly by the architect and client, and must credit all members of the design and construction team. When partnerships or professional corporations are submitting, at least one principal must be a member of AIABaltimore. If an architect of a firm is not the sole designer of the project or has been a member of a joint venture team, all other participants substantially contributing to the design must be given credit, regardless of professional discipline.

JUDGING CRITERIA

Judging criteria include, but are not limited to, the following:

DESIGN RESOLUTION which demonstrates skill and sensitivity to formal, functional and technical requirements.

DESIGN ADVANCEMENT which furthers the contemporary understanding of design by proposing new approaches to the develop-ment of architectural form.

SUSTAINABLE DESIGN conserves resources, preserves ecosystems, optimizes comfort, and reduces environmental impact thru high performance, integrated and innovative design, concern for unique cultural heritage, and affordability (including the Award for Excel-lence in Environmentally Sustainable Design).

Exemplary HISTORIC PRESERVATION standards in restoration, rehabilitation, adaptive reuse, addition or sensitive new construction in a historic environment (including the Michael F. Trostel, FAIA, Award for Excellence in a Historic Preservation Project).

At the jury’s discretion, a GRAND DESIGN award will be given to a built project judged to be exceptional.

GOOD DESIGN = GOOD BUSINESS

The inherent value of good design is increasingly evident to both the public at large and decision-makers in many industries. Organi-zations worldwide are now routinely utilizing architecture to market products and services, attract and maintain a high quality work-force or student body, improve the health and welfare of employees, and uplift the immediate environment. The Good Design = Good Business Award was launched in 2006 to honor architects and clients who best utilize good design to achieve important outcomes for organizations.

A local 3-member jury from the architecture and business communities will evaluate:

• How design contributed to the project’s success

• The level of architect and client collaboration

• Measurable results versus stated goals

• The quality of the architectural design solution

The jury will also consider innovation, benefit to user and client, appropriate aesthetics and visual appeal, and the bottom line result.

PROJECT ELIGIBILITY

Design Awards may be given to built or unbuilt architecture, interior architecture, adaptive reuse, planning, renovation, restoration and urban design projects. Unbuilt projects that have received awards in the past may be entered as built projects after completion. Projects completed on or after January 1, 2009 are eligible.

Call for VolunteersDo you remember when you decided to become an architect? Did you know someone who was an architect, such as a family member, friend, or teacher? Did you receive words of encouragement from someone because they saw that you had design talent and a natural appreciation for the built environment? The FAR Outreach Team wants to create the same sense of wonder for students in the Baltimore area. We want to create opportunities for students to appreciate the built environment. However, in order to accomplish this we need you to volunteer your time and expertise. On Saturday, September 6, 2014 the FAR Outreach Team will be conducting workshops at Expand Your Horizons at Stevenson University. The purpose of Expand Your Horizons is to introduce middle school girls to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers. We need volunteers. We also need volunteers to assist us in developing exciting, fun, and informative hands-on activities for our outreach efforts. We need activities that can be completed in twenty, thirty and fifty minutes. The Outreach Committee is also considering developing a program for middle school students that would give them the skills they need to compete in the NAACP ACT-SO (Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics) competition for architecture when they enter high school. You guessed it, we need volunteers. If you need additional information or you want to volunteer to share your love of architecture with someone else, please contact Janet Blount, Outreach Team Leader at [email protected].

On June 10, three FAR committee members went to Hamilton Elementary/Middle School to teach students about architecture.

The students were encouraged to think about school design and how a school can be designed to become a part of the surrounding community. They prepared a plan of their ideal school and explained their designs in a pin-up at the end of the session

Lecture Series

Op-Ed: The Resilient City Part IIIBy Cedric Al Kazzi

“I am ……………”“I design …………”“The best example of resilience in Baltimore is ……………..…..”

I was given a slip of paper to fill out at each AIABaltimore lecture this spring. By the end of each lecture I had sometimes managed to define myself, but was never able to complete the rest. What is resiliency? And what do I consider to be resilient? Is resiliency a natural phenomenon? It is an innate characteristic of all natural elements and creatures. It is usually attributed to reactions rather than actions, maintaining continuity and ensuring survival. Resilient is also a comparative adjective since it could vary in levels from one state to another and from one described element to another. Although cities are not directly natural organisms; they are overlays and agglomerations of micro and macro networks of natural organisms ensuring its functionality. Hence, resiliency is truly inherent within the daily operation of any city.

We have to change how we operate and be proactive - it’s cliché - but we have enough examples showing the need to do just that…[on being designers in this day and age] ” -Dan Pitera, Lecture 4.2

Why are some cities more resilient than others? Can we enhance or facilitate resilience? No matter what scale the task, from urban interventions to product design, we should work towards making its default or primary setting favorable for resilience: a framework that is amorphous and can transform by absorbing contextual needs and data into a solution. Resiliency as a form is evasive; it’s hard to discern as its actively occurring. The first reactions might even be disregarded for it might be a direct causality and lack the spontaneous character. The French philosopher, Deleuze recommends deep observation as the next step in the design process; a crucial step that may take seconds or even years. The immediate/direct change we notice in the environment has to be carefully studied and we must be careful not to rush the process by labeling it resilient too quickly.

In a social experiment, the secret ingredient for emergence is people. Resiliency is then a product of instigators/curators and the spontaneity of organic matters. In her talk, Mindy Fullilove stressed the major potential of the community and its role in shaping its environment. And then she questioned the subsequent role of this environment in relation to resiliency.

“Inequity in society undermines the whole society.” - Mindy Fullilove, Lecture 3.12

We are witnessing the tip of the power structure being replaced by a wider and more specialized group. As for the base, we now find a more educated and diverse population with an easier vertical jump between classes and ranks. Both ends are interconnected by social media as their common ground.

Accordingly, a bottom-up approach is more likely to get the project accomplished since a crowd-driven design process would ensure continuity and a more transparent structure. This approach brings together a more diversified process that merges with closely extracted data to result in alternative solutions. Through this ‘fostering’ environment, the product, whatever it is, faces at every step of the process a multiplicity of tracks that adds complexity and completeness. Our job as curators or moderators, is to ensure the continuity of the environments that are more favorable for the survival of resiliency and learn from the mistakes of both approaches.

REVIEW

“

How does a space become a trigger for rebirth you may ask?” A great example of spatial resiliency is Midan al tahrir: A traffic circle in Cairo, Egypt, that transformed overnight into the focal point of the Egyptian Revolution. Lefebvre talks about the power of people and the appropriation of space to shape none-spaces into incubators for resiliency.”

SPONSORS

Architects have a very particular way of looking at the world. They see opportunity instead of barriers.” - Mindy Fullilove, Lecture 3.12

Why is resiliency relevant to the AIA? Architecture as a profession should be contextual. It is a built-up manifestation of the society’s social, political and economic conditions. These conditions have shaped strict typologies and rigid models that constitute the urban fabric of today’s cities. And these typologies stay around for 80 to 100 years, whereas society would have been evolving within the period from construction to the aging of the building. Therefore, whenever we are asked to be contextual, we join the movement set in the last century with minor modifications to fit the image of the new era. And this image will last another century. The more we create these fixed images, the more the delay between society and built-up space grows. During Winy Maas’s talk, he asked about our role: “as an architect, should I refuse or should I collaborate?” and “how do we make architecture more ‘us’ and not elite? ”there’s a chance in these contradictions to innovate by defying the sets of rules and typologies.

It’s a great design challenge, how do we design for the future when it’s likely going to be very different than the present…” - David Perkes, Lecture 4.2

It is easy for us to spare ourselves from testing and perhaps failing. But failure is when we learn the most and potentially could advance the process further than any success. We need to free ourselves from form and typologies that have been reigning as solutions for decades. We can learn by observing the “uneducated” design decisions that proved to be innovative solutions for today’s needs. In this case, mistakes are what we are looking for. We study the resilient qualities through trials and errors, we learn from failures and we make sure we don’t fail when it counts. Finally, it is the role of AIA to moderate negotiations on all types and scales, where we introduce resil-iency to society as new solutions rather than abnormalities.

Open Registration for this year’s Architecture Seen Photography Competition is only 1 month away so start taking your photos NOW! The theme for the competition focuses on defining entryways at a variety of scales. See the description below and visit aiabalt.com to find out more information. Part 1 Take a pictureCategory 1 “The Big Picture”This photo category focuses on defining entryways on a “large scale.” These are the public spaces in Baltimore that we encounter through-out our daily activities. Think about the types of spaces defined when entering the city by train or car. The entryway could show a destination point or feature a transition of spaces along streets or public areas. An entrance or signature view to a college campus, or park perhaps. This could be a picture that explains the character of a neighborhood or a threshold between neighborhoods. Category 2 “The Finer Details”The “smaller scale” photo category focuses on more intricate spaces that relate to the human proportions, such as an entrance to a build-ing. Think about how the material selection, light, and colors are used to define the space. Is the design informed by the people enter-ing and using the space? Is there a special history or story related to this place? Part 2 Write a short description Write a short description (2 or 3 sentences) telling how the photo fits into one of the categories and indicate the significance of what the photo captures.----------We know you are talented let’s see what you can do.

SPOTLIGHT

Denise Khoury often asks “How can I pay it forward?”. Part of the answer is shown in her past service on the AIA Baltimore Board of Directors, continuing service on AIA Baltimore committees: Continuing Education, Design Awards, Canstruction and Allied Members, plus her involvement with CREW Baltimore, Neighborhood Design Center and the Maryland Food Bank. Coaching/mentoring on an individual level is the other piece of paying it forward for Denise and she feels each day is a success if she can inspire one person to do one thing better than average.

Denise extends her leadership abilities to her community and has a passion for charitable pursuits benefiting animals, children and the elderly. As a member of the Women of the Moose, she organizes weekly dinners, monthly breakfasts and annual events for the community and local Veterans’ Home. Denise helps local pet rescues and Steve allows her to fill their home with rescued animals: cats, dogs, turtle and fish (the chickens did not make it). She currently lives in Southern Maryland coming from Ohio via New York but is frequently in Baltimore attending the great events like HonFest, PigTown Races and ArtScape.

As a LEED AP BD+C, Denise helps her clients put sustainable energy management strategies to work in both new construction and existing buildings. She is well known for her daylighting knowledge, out of the box solutions, value engineering strategies and relentless focus on delivering quality. She has conducted seminars across the A&E industry for architects, developers, engineers, energy auditors, facility managers, interior designers, lighting designers and property owners on subjects such as Daylighting, Building Automation and Networking.

“ Denise volunteers in a variety of capacities and in every role her input has been indispensable; she is especially invaluable on our Design Awards Committee. Denise has the ideal balance of forethought, detail-management as well as a sparkling sense of fun that make her a perfect event planner.”

Three exceptional architects and scholars have been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in the Department of Architecture at Morgan State University:. Mohammad Gharipour, PhD, Jeremy Kargon and Gabriel Kroiz, AIA each achieved this distinction in May, expanding the roster of tenured architecture professors at Morgan significantly.

Mohammad Gharipour obtained his PhD in architecture at Georgia Institute of Technology. He has published numerous papers and several books including the following: Persian Gardens and Pavilions, Bazaar in the Islamic City, and Calligraphy and Architecture in the Muslim World. Gharipour is the founding editor of the International Journal of Islamic Architecture.
