SUMMARY:Baltimore Architecture Madness
DESCRIPTION:Baltimore Architecture Foundation is celebrating AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary with a March Madness tournament of Baltimore buildings built between 1870 and 2021. Public voting will determine which buildings advance to each round of the tournament. \nCongratulations to Architecture Madness Champion:\nAmerican Visionary Art Museum  – Alex Castro\, Rebecca Swanston\, and Davis\, Bowen & Friedel (1995)\, Diane Cho\, Cho Benn Holback + Associates (2004)\nView Championship Voting Results \nVIEW THE ARCHITECTURE MADNESS BRACKET \n  \nVisit Our Championship Match-Up Page \n\nView Early Round Voting Results:\nSee Round of 64 voting results\nSee Round of 32 voting results\nSee Sweet 16 Match-Up Page!\nSee Sweet Sixteen Voting Results\nSee Quarterfinals Voting Results \n\nHow We Selected the Building Nominations \nBAF sought to include a diverse selection of buildings built over the course of AIA Baltimore’s history. 10 buildings were selected from each decade. AIA Baltimore and BAF committee leaders led the effort to select buildings using sources such as the AIA Baltimore Design Awards\, The Architecture of Baltimore: An Illustrated History\, A Guide to Baltimore Architecture\, and National Register listings. Public voting then determined which buildings were entered into the tournament. \nThe following rules were used: \n\nBuildings must be in the Baltimore region (AIA Baltimore zone)\n\nBaltimore City\, Baltimore County\, Howard County\, Harford County\, Carroll County\, Cecil County\n\n\nBuildings must be built within AIA Baltimore’s lifespan (1870-2021)\nBuildings must be extant\n\nFor the most part\, BAF avoided including single-family homes to protect the privacy of current homeowners. \nWhy Create an Architecture March Madness Tournament? \nThe tournament is intended to celebrate 150 years of architecture since the founding of AIA Baltimore in 1871. This is not a definitive ranking of the ‘best’ buildings in Baltimore. We want to see which buildings you love and learn why you love them.  BAF’s overall goal is to spread more awareness about Baltimore architecture.  As the tournament goes on we will be including articles about the buildings and from experts about the features of architecture that stand the test of time. \nPlease direct questions and comments to Nathan Dennies at ndennies@aiabalt.com.

SUMMARY:A vessel for change: Floating Office Rotterdam (Morgan State/Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee)
DESCRIPTION:Moored at Rijnhaven port in Rotterdam\, the Floating Office Rotterdam (FOR) for the Global Center on Adaptation is a building for a new age. Built in timber\, it’s off grid and carbon-neutral\, it will float – rather than flood – if water levels rise due to climate change. Fun as well as functional\, it also forms a key element in a newly redeveloped port environment by providing public waterside space – and even a swimming pool. Powerhouse Company designed the floating office to reflect the values of its inhabitants: the Global Center on Adaptation. This Rotterdam NGO aims at promoting planning\, investment and technology to mitigate climate change. With its own solar energy source and water-based heat-exchange system\, the Floating Office Rotterdam is completely self-sufficient. \nTIME & REGISTRATION\n1pm ET Maryland time\, which is 19.00 CET Netherlands time. The lecture is approximately 1 hr\, followed by 20 min panel discussion with Q&A. \nOpen to the public. Admission is free. Donations are optional; proceeds will be used for architecture education programs. \nREGISTER HERE \nAUDIENCE\nThe lecture is geared towards architects\, developers\, construction companies\, engineers\, and students. \nAbout the speaker\nAs associate and design director at Powerhouse Company\, Albert Takashi Richters heads the so-called pitch-team where initial design concepts are conceived ranging in scales from villas all the way up to urban strategies. In 2016 Albert joined Powerhouse Company after winning the competition for the Çanakkale broadcasting tower and visitor center in Turkey for which he was part of the collaborating design team at IND [Inter.National.Design]. \nIn his work as an architect\, Albert understands the architect’s role as one of mediation between parties. As such he has been involved in various competitions and large-scale urban strategies such as the recently presented Codrico Masterplan for the Rijnhaven in Rotterdam. A masterplan that demands a good balance between the place’s history\, the city’s needs and the developer’s requirements by means of an architectural ensemble. \nThis holistic approach is one that is carried through in the architecture projects that Albert has been worked on\, where an understanding of ambitions\, feasibility and technical solutions becomes a way to mediate between design and a project’s further development. It is here where the Floating Office Rotterdam fits in as a design that is part of larger ambitions of the city whilst being a design that requires a representative and elegant building that is efficient\, sustainable and of course\, buoyant. \nAs a TU Delft graduate Albert has been a design tutor at the TU Delft for the Chair of Complex Projects under Prof. Kees Kaan and currently is tutoring at the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture and Urban Design. \nAbout Powerhouse Company\nWe give meaning to space through profound form and function. \nWe are Powerhouse Company\, an award-winning architecture office based in Rotterdam\, the Netherlands. Our story begins in 2005. Newly founded back then\, we operated from kitchen tables in Rotterdam and Copenhagen. We have since grown into a multidisciplinary office of around 100 professionals\, with international studios in Beijing\, Oslo and Munich. Along the way we have won a number of prizes\, including the Dutch Design Award\, the Maaskant Prize and the World Architecture Festival Award. \nSome things don’t change however. We are still led by founder Nanne de Ru\, these days along with Paul Stavert\, Stijn Kemper\, Stefan Prins\, Sander Apperlo (Munich) and Johanne Borthne (Oslo). \nOur mission is to create meaningful spaces that enhance people’s lives. \nWe shape our projects through the collective intelligence of our dedicated team\, plus our in-depth research into the historical and future context. We love to be close to our clients\, thinking along with them so that we can embrace their social\, economic and sustainability goals. Our multi-disciplinary team and collaborative ethos allow us to take full responsibility for any project\, from sketch to construction. \nWe pride ourselves on the sensorial richness of our work\, which results from our constant search for the sweet spot between constraints and possibilities. This process enables us to make conscious design decisions that enhance the subconscious design experience. Our approach to function is based on our belief that every inch in and around a building should enrich the overall sensation it creates. This is how we intertwine context\, aesthetics and function. The outcome is the serene clarity that people sense in all our projects. \nWe are Powerhouse Company. We give meaning to space. \nAbout this lecture series\nThis lecture is one of a series of lectures in 2021 organized by Cristina Murphy\, Assistant Professor at Morgan State University School of Architecture + Planning (MSU SA+P)\, with assistance from Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee (BRSCC). The lecture series includes speakers from the U.S.A. about Baltimore’s cityscape and urban design\, and speakers from the Netherlands about innovative construction materials and circular design systems such as reuse\, remanufacturing\, and recycling in the built environment. Special thanks to Jeremiah Ekoja\, Graduate Assistant at MSU SA+P\, for his help with coordinating the lecture series.
