SUMMARY:Materials & Methods: Bio_Lent Machines with Daniela Atencio & Claudio Rossi
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS LECTURE\nThe presentation examines the contemporary Latin American landscape as a complex\, time-based assemblage of economic\, social\, cultural\, and ecological systems\, shaped by multiple forms of violence ranging from urbanization\, extraction\, and inequality to planetary processes such as climate change. Rather than treating these conditions as static problems\, the lecture frames the collision between architecture\, infrastructure\, and landscape as a productive field for restitution and repair. Through the concept of Bio_lent Machines\, the work proposes restorative architectural devices and pedagogical methodologies that integrate time\, technology\, and nature as mediators. Emphasis is placed on the use of robotic arms as both tools and conceptual mediums within design processes to explore mechanisms capable of reverting\, recomposing\, and redefining relationships within damaged territories. The lecture unfolds an open\, transdisciplinary discussion of design strategies\, technological workflows\, and representational practices across scales\, addressing architecture and landscape as active agents in reorienting violent processes toward regenerative futures. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\nDaniela Atencio is an architect and Master of Design Research in Emerging Systems\, Technologies\, and Media from SCI-Arc. She is an Associate Professor and Researcher at the Universidad de Los Andes and Visiting Faculty at Florida International University (2025). Her work focuses on advanced technologies in architecture and design\, including representation\, computational design\, and computer-controlled robotics as creative and critical design instruments. Her research and practice have been widely published and exhibited internationally at venues and platforms such as the Venice Architecture Biennale\, ROB | ARCH (International Association for Robots in Architecture)\, ACADIA\, Parametric Architecture (PA)\, DigitalFUTURES\, SIGraDi\, AD Journal\, Routledge\, and Miami Art Week\, among others. She is the author of Robotic Translations: Design Processes—Latin America\, to be published by ACTAR\, and is an active member of theWomen in Robotics Association and related international research networks. \nClaudio Rossi\, PhD\, is an architect\, researcher\, and tenured professor with more than 25 years of international academic and professional experience. His work investigates the integration of emerging technologies—particularly robotics and artificial intelligence—within landscape-oriented\, socially embedded\, and territorially grounded architectural practices. Rossi’s research and practice address computational representation\, environmental infrastructures\, and territorial design\, with a sustained focus on post-colonial Latin American contexts and the redefinition of architectural agency in ecologically vulnerable regions. His scholarly and creative work has been widely exhibited\, published\, and presented across the Americas\, Europe\, and Australia\, contributing to transdisciplinary debates at the intersection of design\, technology\, and territory. He has received multiple awards and has been invited as a lecturer and visiting professor at institutions including PennDesign\, MIT\, Politecnico di Torino\, and the University of Melbourne. \nREGISTER HERE\nAIA 1.0 LU HSW and 1.0 LA CES HSW approved \nAIA\, ASLA and NOMA members may register at a discounted rate. \n*We are offering school students free admission!

SUMMARY:Materials & Methods: Materialism with Daniel Sundlin
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THIS LECTURE\nWe seek to reclaim the term materialism—not as a symbol of empty consumerism\, but as a meaningful practice: shaping our future through form and matter. For most of our history\, life adapted to the material world around us. That changed the moment we discovered tools\, technology\, and architecture. With them\, we gained the power to shape the material world in service of the life we wanted to lead. Human history can be read as a story told through materials—each breakthrough marking a new chapter in our evolution. We named entire eras after the substances we learned to master: the Stone Age\, the Bronze Age\, the Iron Age\, the Silicon Age. Our ability to manipulate matter has been one of the most powerful forces driving civilization forward. In this spirit\, we invite you on an odyssey through the material world\, as seen through the works of BIG—from the permanence of solid rock to the invisible flow of electrons. \nABOUT DANIEL SUNDLIN\, BIG\nDaniel Sundlin’s approach to design is anchored in holistic thinking\, focusing on the synergies between community\, economy\, ecology\, and sustainability. His design expertise spans various scales\, from product design\, interiors\, and architecture to master planning. Daniel joined BIG Copenhagen in 2008\, and in 2010\, he opened BIG’s first office outside Denmark by establishing BIG New York. As a Partner at BIG\, he has worked on The Height Public School in Arlington\, Virginia; VIA 57 West in Manhattan; Wildflower Film Studios in New York City; and the sustainable Google Bay View campus in California. His work also extends to the urban scale\, including the East Side Coastal Resiliency project (BIG U)\, a master plan to protect 10 miles of Manhattan’s coastline. His urban design projects span the globe\, including Penang South Islands in Malaysia and OCEANIX Busan\, a sustainable floating city prototype in collaboration with the United Nations. In addition to his professional work\, Daniel is involved in academia as a guest critic at various universities and as an instructor at the New York Institute of Technology. \nREGISTER HERE!\nAIA\, ASLA and NOMA members may register at a discounted rate. \n*We are offering school students free admission!

Mount Royal Avenue\nBaltimore\, MD 21217 \nAIA 1.0 LU HSW\nASLA 1.0 LA CES HSW \n  \n[REGISTER HERE]\n  \nDETAILS \nAIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation present the 2025 Spring Lecture Series\, taking place on 3/13\, 3/27 and 4/10 at the MICA Brown Center. \nWe are happy to continue our partnership with Maryland ASLA to provide 1.0 LA CES HSW for every lecture. \nAIA\, ASLA and NOMA members may register at a discounted rate. \nWe are offering school students free admission! Please bring your school ID to show upon arrival. \nDoors open at 5:30 PM. Reception with light food and drinks will be also be available immediately following the lecture at the Brass Tap near the MICA Brown Center (1205 W Mt Royal Ave\, Baltimore\, MD 21217). \n  \nABOUT THIS LECTURE \nThijs van Spaandonk \nLessons from Community-Owned Real Estate Development in Amsterdam North  \nVerdedig Noord (Defend North) is one of the most diverse and vocal grassroots organizations in Amsterdam\, organizing protest\, block parties\, cultural performances\, educational programs\, policy guidelines\, and public space interventions to combat gentrification in Amsterdam North\, a previously neglected working-class neighborhood and industrial area across the water from the historic city center of Amsterdam. \n“From our experience\, one of the key assets for running a grassroots organization is to have the security of access to spaces for activities. From the start of Verdedig Noord in 2019\, developing community-owned real estate was at the core of the activities. Since then\, we have been learning how to develop\, design and run spaces to become part of the neighborhood’s social infrastructure.” \nIn this lecture\, Thijs van Spaandonk will share some of the key learnings. \n  \nZico Lopes \nCreating Space for Interaction \nThe presentation explores the concept of creating spaces for interaction through community-led urban developments\, emphasizing the role of the architect as a facilitator. It examines how design can empower local communities\, foster social connections\, and encourage collective ownership of public spaces. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nThijs van Spaandonk explores and develops alternative futures and cultural narratives for the major challenges our environment is facing. \nThijs was recently appointed as Chief Government Advisor on the Built and Rural Environment in the Netherlands. He advises on spatial programmes and projects involving themes such as mobility\, energy transition and urbanization. \nThijs is co-founder of Bright\, a research\, design\, and development cooperative for our surroundings. Bright designs the spatial infrastructure of future energy systems\, explores future uncertainties through scenario building\, develops a holistic approach for public space\, and builds a rooted and circular neighborhood economy. \nThijs is board member of 5711 Cooperative and involved in the development of community-owned real estate in Amsterdam North. These places bring together local entrepreneurship to work on cultural expression and production\, and a solidary and circular neighborhood economy. He is working on an educational program for civil servants based on the experiences of community action in Amsterdam North. \nAs lead designer for City Deal Public Space\, Thijs developed The Road to Integralia\, a roadmap for an integrated approach for the design\, execution\, management\, and maintenance for sup- and subsurface public space. Thijs was Program Director for the Urban Design Master Program at Rotterdam Academy of Architecture and Urban Design\, 2018-2023. Thijs was Curator for Energy Transition for the 2020 International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam. Thijs was trained as an architect at Eindhoven University of Technology\, studied as a visiting student at Hong Kong University\, and recently completed the Collaborations Track of the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative. \n  \nZico Lopes is an architect and urban designer\, as well as the founder of Spatial Codes\, an architecture studio that focuses on the relationship between humans and their environment. With a deep commitment to creating spaces that reflect the needs and values of their users\, his work explores how local knowledge\, behaviors\, and cultural values can be integrated into architectural and urban design. His studio operates across Europe\, West Africa\, and Southeast Asia\, bringing a diverse\, global perspective to each project. \nSpatial Codes is known for its human-centered approach\, aiming to enhance the experience of space and place. We believe that architecture should not only respond to physical needs but also resonate with the emotional and social dimensions of the people who inhabit those spaces. The studio works on a variety of scales\, from large-scale developments and housing projects to temporary exhibitions and interventions in existing structures. Each project is treated as a unique opportunity to engage with the local context and community\, ensuring that the design enhances both the environment and the users’ experience. \nSpatial Codes has offices in Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Santo Antao in Cape Verde.

SUMMARY:Mapping Inequality: A Radical Atlas of Ferguson\, USA
DESCRIPTION:March 27\, 2025\n6:00 PM\nMICA Brown Center\n1301 W. Mount Royal Avenue\nBaltimore\, MD 21217 \nAIA 1.0 LU HSW\nASLA 1.0 LA CES HSW \n  \n[REGISTER HERE]\n  \nDETAILS \nAIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation present the 2025 Spring Lecture Series\, taking place on 3/13\, 3/27 andd 4/10 at the MICA Brown Center. \nWe are happy to continue our partnership with Maryland ASLA to provide 1.0 LA CES HSW for every lecture. \nAIA\, ASLA and NOMA members may register at a discounted rate. \nWe are offering school students free admission! Please bring your school ID to show upon arrival. \nDoors open at 5:30 PM. Reception with light food and drinks will be also be available immediately following the lecture at the Brass Tap near the MICA Brown Center (1205 W Mt Royal Ave\, Baltimore\, MD 21217). \n  \nABOUT THIS LECTURE \nPatty Heyda presents a methodology for mapping structural inequality in the American city\, based on her book Radical Atlas of Ferguson\, USA (Belt\, 2024). \nMuch like in Baltimore after the arrest and death of Freddie Gray in 2015\, Ferguson\, Missouri\, became the epicenter of America’s racial tensions after the 2014 murder of Michael Brown and the uprising that followed. Though this area just outside St. Louis might have seemed like an average inner suburb\, the activism that radiated from there after Brown’s killing laid bare just how long the community had been experiencing racial segregation\, fragmentation\, poverty\, and police targeting. \nIn over one hundred maps\, Patty Heyda charts the systemic forces that have defined Ferguson\, St. Louis and the American city more broadly in the ten years since those events. Through an in-depth look at the contradictions undergirding city planning and design\, it illuminates how tax incentives\, housing codes\, streets\, nonprofits\, philanthropy\, and even landscaping often work against the betterment of residents’ lives. At its heart lies a key question: Just who are our cities being built for? \nA profound rethinking of what maps can be\, Radical Atlas of Ferguson\, USA challenges city planners\, designers\, and everyday citizens to change their perspective of public space. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nPatty Heyda is professor of urban design and architecture at Washington University in St. Louis. Her interdisciplinary research explores design politics and American cities\, with a focus on mapping\, uneven development and spatial justice in weak market contexts and inner suburbs. She is the author of Radical Atlas of Ferguson\, USA (Belt\, 2024)\, shortlisted for the national “On the Brinck Book Award\,” and coauthor with David Gamble of Rebuilding the American City (Routledge\, 2016) and Rebuilding the American Town (Routledge\, 2024) that explore the complexities\, relationships and creative design strategies used in different U.S. cities and towns as they transform to meet challenges of the 21st century. \nHeyda has also worked professionally across the scales in the U.S. and abroad\, in the offices of Architectures Jean Nouvel (Paris)\, HOK (St. Louis) and Chan Krieger Associates (Boston). Her writings and design projects appear in JAE\, Journal of Urban Design\, City Lab\, MONU\, Mutations\, Planning Magazine\, Urban Infill\, Material World of Modern Segregation\, Architecture is All Over\, and other books and media. Heyda holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Tulane University and Master of Architecture with Distinction from Harvard University. In 2022\, she was awarded the APA St. Louis Dwight F. Davis Award for Outstanding Planning Advocacy.

Mount Royal Avenue\nBaltimore\, MD 21217 \nAIA 1.0 LU HSW\nASLA 1.0 LA CES HSW \n  \n[REGISTER HERE]\n  \nDETAILS \nAIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation present the 2025 Spring Lecture Series\, taking place on 3/13\, 3/27 and 4/10 at the MICA Brown Center. \nWe are happy to continue our partnership with Maryland ASLA to provide 1.0 LA CES HSW for every lecture. \nAIA\, ASLA and NOMA members may register at a discounted rate. \nWe are offering school students free admission! Please bring your school ID to show upon arrival. \nDoors open at 5:30 PM. Reception with light food and drinks will be also be available immediately following the lecture at the Brass Tap near the MICA Brown Center (1205 W Mt Royal Ave\, Baltimore\, MD 21217). \n  \nABOUT THIS LECTURE \nIn this talk\, Despo will provide an overview of transformative coastal resilience projects from concept to implementation\, blending urban design\, resilience planning\, and creative storytelling. \nDrawing on projects like Climate Ready Dorchester in Boston\, Salem’s Resilient Together El Punto\, and Louisiana’s 2023 Coastal Master Plan\, Despo will highlight how tailored solutions—whether addressing flooding\, extreme heat\, or social equity—are grounded in local context and community needs. She’ll explore how these projects create not just physical infrastructure\, but stronger\, more resilient neighborhoods through inclusive\, actionable plans. From visionary design to multi-scale implementation\, Despo’s work shows that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution—every challenge offers a unique opportunity to innovate\, collaborate\, and build a more sustainable future. This talk will inspire anyone seeking fresh perspectives on how cities can adapt\, thrive\, and connect with the natural systems that sustain them. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nDespo is the Director of Resilience at  SCAPE\, where she leads teams in urban design and resilience planning to forge nature-based\, community-centered strategies that help communities adapt to our changing climate. Her work connects the dots between the environment\, design\, and people—whether through actionable resilience plans that reduce climate risk\, implementation of multi-layered and multi-benefit infrastructure\, or climate visualizations that make complex challenges accessible and guide decision-making. Through creative storytelling\, she connects communities with the natural systems that sustain them\, and advocates for the role of planning and design in shaping environmental policy\, and fostering equitable\, resilient neighborhoods. \nDespo’s recent projects include Louisiana’s Coastal Master Plan\, Massachusetts’ ResilientCoasts Plan\, Battery Park City’s North/West Resiliency Project in New York\, and Climate Ready Dorchester in Boston. Whether addressing flooding\, extreme heat\, or other climate impacts\, her work helps communities turn design visions into tangible actions\, build resilience on their own terms\, and thrive today and into the future. \nDespo is also dedicated to sharing these ideas with others. She has taught at Columbia University’s Urban Design program and the New Jersey Institute of Technology\, and in 2021\, she was named a Forefront Fellow by the Urban Design Forum for her work on connecting local food systems and fostering food equity.

DESCRIPTION:[REGISTER HERE]\nAIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation presents the 2024 Spring Lecture Series\, taking place on 4/04\, 4/10\, 4/17 and 4/25 at the MICA Brown Center. \nThis lecture offers 1.0 AIA LU HSW and 1.0 LACES PDH HSW. \nAIA\, ASLA and NOMA members may register at a discounted rate. \nWe are offering school students\, faculty and staff free admission! Please bring your school ID to show upon arrival. \nJoin us on April 17 at 6:00 PM for Radical Practice with Marlon Blackwell\, FAIA\, AIA 2020 Gold Medal Recipient. \nRegistration begins at 5:00PM. Join us for a reception at The Brass Tap immediately following the lecture! There will be apps\, open bar for the first hour\, and specialty cocktails available!  \n\nABOUT THIS LECTURE\nMarlon Blackwell will discuss his architecture and design process and will introduce ‘Radical Practice: The Work of Marlon Blackwell Architects’ a new monograph released in June 2022 by Princeton Architectural Press. \nBoth the book and the lecture emphasize projects in the public and civic realm\, emerging from outside the established centers of architectural culture\, illustrating the distinct and original voice of Marlon Blackwell Architects. Their iconic and award-winning designs span across typologies\, scales\, and budgets\, by merging the universal language of architecture and the particulars of place. The lecture will discuss the richness of the work\, its methods\, and its consequences and suggest an open-endedness\, at once generous and provocative\, to the practice’s trajectory and interest in what a “radical practice” can be in the contemporary moment. A core principle at the heart of the practice\, radical in its fundamental simplicity\, is the assertion of the making of buildings and places as a constant\, authentic focus…an architecture in the place\, of the place and for the place. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nMarlon Blackwell\, FAIA \nMarlon Blackwell\, FAIA\, is the founding partner of Marlon Blackwell Architects (MBA) in Fayetteville\, Arkansas\, the E. Fay Jones Distinguished Professor at the University of Arkansas\, and the Spring 2024 John Portman Chair at Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Blackwell is the recipient of the 2020 AIA Gold Medal\, the Institute’s highest honor recognizing those whose work has had an enduring impact on the theory and practice of architecture. Blackwell is a lifetime member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, a 2023 inductee of the American Academy of Arts and Science\, a 2019 Resident Fellow of the American Academy in Rome\, and a 2014 United States Artists Ford Fellow.

Please bring your school ID to show upon arrival. \nJoin us on April 4 at 6:00 PM at for Transforming Urban Waterfronts with Chip Place\, AIA and Matthew Urbanski of MVVA\, Inc. \nRegistration and reception to begin at 5:00PM. Light food and drinks will be also be available immediately following the lecture.  \n\nABOUT THIS LECTURE\nHow does underutilized urban infrastructure become world class parks? \nChip Place and Matthew Urbanski will present the political\, financial\, land acquisition\, planning\, design\, construction\, and long term management process that led to the creation of Bayou Greenways in Houston and Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York City. Inspired by landscape architect Arthur Comey’s 1912 plan for the City of Houston\, and encouraged by Buffalo Bayou Park through downtown\, Bayou Greenways 2020 transforms Houston’s other major waterways into linear parks with 150 miles of hike and bike trails. \nBrooklyn Bridge Park\, designed by Mathew’s firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates\, followed a community led process to reclaim 1.3 miles of the old industrial waterfront to create a diverse\, ecologically based and economically self-sustaining signature park. \nBoth projects represent key features of a greater parks renaissance in both cities and were conceived as essential to their cities’ resilience\, environment\, health and economies. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\nCharles (Chip) H. Place AIA \nA graduate of the Rice University School of Architecture and the University of Houston Law Center\, Chip Place’s career has focused on large scale land development and the public policies of land use. \nEarly inspiration included working on the first Master Plan for Buffalo Bayou Park through downtown Houston. He went on to direct major land programs in New York and Houston including: \n\n5000 acres of land development projects in the Hudson Valley which he ended up selling for conservation as state parks and the protection of New York City’s water supply.\nThe planning and design of the economically self-sustaining\, world class\, Brooklyn Bridge Park encompassing 1.3 miles of the old industrial waterfront facing lower Manhattan.\nNumerous projects and major events for New York State Parks in New York City including the creation of another waterfront park in Williamsburg\, Brooklyn from a former railyard site.\nThe planning\, programming\, design\, land acquisition\, budget controls\, community engagement and construction of Bayou Greenways 2020 which transforms Houston’s major waterways into linear parks with 150 miles of hike and bike trails.\nFurther expanding Greater Houston’s public realm by directing Beyond the Bayous\, a landscaped based planning initiative that immediately generated additional park and greenway projects.\n\nChip is a member of the AIA and ABA and has served on many community and professional boards. He and his wife Mary live in Havre de Grace MD where he sits on the City Planning Commission. \nMatthew Urbanski \nMatt is a Partner at Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates (MVVA)\, where he has planned and designed waterfronts\, parks\, college campuses\, and gardens in North America and across the world. Matt’s work is inspired by the power of landscape to affect the way people feel\, and he is devoted to making landscapes that draw on the unique capacities of each site. \nFor 25 years\, Matt taught an ecological approach to planting design at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. As the son of a family physician and a painter and ceramicist\, Matt believes that making landscapes is a matter of both wellness and artistic expression. Thirty years ago\, Matt and his father founded Red Hill Nursery\, a specialty plant farm that grows hard-to-find species that are unusual in shape and character.

SUMMARY:NextGen Connections: Infrastructural Optimism
DESCRIPTION:May 4\, 2023\n6:00 PM\nAlertus Technologies\nAIA 1.5 LU\, HSW Approved\n1.5 LACES Approved \nWith a multitrillion-dollar infrastructure bill recently passed by Congress and threats of climate change more evident with every superlative weather event\, flood\, and forest fire\, the urgency for architects\, landscape architects\, urban designers\, and planners to be proactive participants in climate and equity solutions is stronger than ever. \nInfrastructural Optimism\, Samuels’s recent book and the basis for this lecture\, is based broadly on the concept that everyone deserves to believe in a better future – for themselves\, our society\, and the planet – and that the design and production of infrastructure\, our largest public space\, should be contributing to that better future rather than detracting from it. To shift the paradigm away from last generation infrastructure\, designers must work collaboratively across disciplines\, recognize the value of environmental interdependencies\, and prioritize equitable investments to improve quality of life for all. \nREGISTER HERE\nMeet the Speaker\n \nLinda C. Samuels\, RA\, PhD\, Professor of Urban Design\, Washington University in St. Louis \nDr. Linda C. Samuels is a Professor of urban design at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis\, where she teaches architecture and urban design studios and seminars on Infrastructural Urbanism\, urban history and theory\, and alternative sustainability metrics. She is the founder and \ndirector of Infra_OPTS\, an independent consulting firm in St. Louis and Los Angeles focused on the design\, mapping\, and metrics of public infrastructure to create more equitable cities. \nBefore coming to WashU\, Samuels was the inaugural director of the Sustainable City Project\, a multidisciplinary research\, teaching\, and outreach initiative at the University of Arizona. Samuels earned her Doctorate in Urban Planning from the University of California\, Los Angeles\, where she was a Senior Research Associate at cityLAB. \nAgenda \n6:00 PM | Lecture by Linda C.

SUMMARY:NextGen Connections: 11th Street Bridge Project
DESCRIPTION:Photo Courtesy of OLIN \nApril 20\, 2023\n6:00 -8:30 PM\nAlertus Technologies\nAIA 1.5 LU\, HSW Approved\n1.5 LACES Approved \nThis lecture will explore a joint project by Olin and OMA\, the 11th Street Bridge Park in Washington\, D.C.. This project addresses a set of entrenched divisions that dominate many cities—disparities of income and investment that all too often align with race and are reinforced by geography. D.C. was planned around the confluence of two rivers\, the Potomac and the Anacostia. While the more recognized Potomac defines its organic southwestern edge with Virginia\, the Anacostia cuts through the city\, dividing its southeastern quadrant from the rest. \nThe west side of the Anacostia River is defined by Pierre Charles L’Enfant’s classical plan\, crisscrossed with diagonal avenues whose intersections—called Reservations—mark the locations of civic buildings and public spaces. The east side is less formally organized\, with a terrain of hills that fragment its street grid and a riverfront that is bucolic in comparison to the industrialized western bank. The west is dominated by D.C.’s practical and symbolic role as the nation’s capital\, while the largely African-American east side is home to more native D.C. residents than any other neighborhood. Today\, the west is high income while the east has the lowest income levels in the district. \nOver the last fifteen years\, the post-industrial Capitol Riverfront along the west bank has become a thriving mixed-use area\, while the east side has long been excluded from the city’s economic progress. OMA+OLIN’s winning design for the 11th Street Bridge Park Competition connects two historically disparate sides of the Anacostia River with a series of rooms and active zones\, including two sloped ramps that elevate visitors to maximized look-out points to landmarks in either direction. Each ramp terminates in a waterfall that visually reconnects the ramps to the river below. In addition to demonstrating how plants cleanse captured rainwater\, the waterfalls above the bridge deck provide cooling breezes and a calming sound. The waterfall below the structure collects surface river water and drops it back into the river\, emphasizing the need for river aeration and higher oxygen levels. To encourage visitors to the bridge and neighboring communities\, the design includes amenities for comfort and refreshment and an open plaza for markets\, festivals and theatrical performances. The form of the bridge creates an iconic encounter\, an “X” instantly recognizable as the river’s new image. \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nAbout the Speakers:\nHallie Boyce \nA Partner since 2009\, Hallie’s focus is the design and planning of landscapes that weave together the elements of art and ecology\, creating greater social and physical resiliency for cultural institutions and communities both in the US and abroad. Her passion is creating educational opportunities through the medium of landscape that engage current and future generations towards promoting their stewardship of our world and addressing its key issues of climate change\, equity\, and environmental justice. \nHallie’s award-winning work includes the design of courtyards\, plazas\, gardens\, parks\, campuses\, and waterfronts. Recent projects include the Brandywine Conservancy and Museum of Art\, the National Gallery of Art\, and the National Museum of American History. Hallie has led the design of the grounds of the Folger Shakespeare Library on Capitol Hill; the design of the National Geographic Headquarters Base Camp\, a landscape focused on world biomes and biodiversity; the 11th Street Bridge Park\, a destination landscape focused on the health of the Anacostia River and its adjacent neighborhoods; and Currie Park\, a resiliency hub on the Intracoastal Waterway in West Palm Beach\, Florida. Her realized projects include the new U.S. Embassy in London as well as the National Veterans Memorial and Museum and Spirit of Women Park in Columbus\, Ohio. \nJason Long \nJason Long is a Partner at OMA who leads its New York office and diverse portfolio in the Americas. Since joining the firm in 2003\, Jason has brought a research-driven\, interdisciplinary approach to a wide range of OMA’s projects internationally. \nA number of projects under Jason’s direction take a creative approach to adaptive reuse and preservation\, including POST Houston\, the transformation of a former post office warehouse into a mixed-use hub; the conversion of a historic parking garage in New York City into a new synagogue; the renovation of the historic Fitzgerald Building at University of Toronto into the university’s administration center; the adaptive reuse of Jersey City’s historic Pathside Building into Centre Pompidou x Jersey City; and LANTERN\, the reimagination of a former commercial bakery into a community arts hub in Detroit. \nJason also leads projects in Washington D.C. that provide an innovative approach to recreation\, public health\, and equitable development at varying scales: a streetscape design for Washington D.C.’s convention center\, the 11th Street Bridge Park connecting disparate communities on either side of the Anacostia River\, and a masterplan for the RFK Stadium Armory Campus. \n\nAgenda\n6:00 PM | Lecture at Alertus Technologies\n7:30 PM | Reception at the Center for Architecture & Design \n  \nThank You to our Generous Sponsors\n \nCapital Sponsor: \nBKM* \nGWWO Architects* \nJames Posey Associates\, Inc.* \nNorthpoint Builders* \nPotomac Valley Brick & Supply * \nSite Resources\, Inc.* \nCorinthian Sponsor: \nAmes & Gough* \nBCT Architects \nBudova Engineering* \nCraig Gaulden Davis Architecture* \nDoubleEdge Design* \nHope Furrer Associates* \nMonkey in the Metal* \nMoseley Architects*+ \nSouthway Builders* \nSwirnow Building Systems \nZiger | Snead* \nDoric Sponsor: \nWCBM \n* Denotes 2023 Annual Sponsors\n*+ Denotes 2023 Annual Sponsor and Event Sponsor

SUMMARY:Baltimore + Rotterdam: Designing Cities Conversation Series
DESCRIPTION:This series is a sequel to the previous webinar series from spring 2022. The spring 2023 theme is: Infrastructure as a Barrier. The 2023 series intends to critically look at the theory gained through the 2022 series and provide practical input to current urban challenges. \nArchitects\, designers\, and researchers from Baltimore (Maryland\, USA) and Rotterdam (the Netherlands)\, discuss “How do architects design spaces for people?” together with the audience — in 4 round tables facilitated by international moderators. Each round table dynamically explores designs that value infrastructures\, cities\, public spaces\, communities\, and individuals. Each webinar will explore a specific theme. This is a unique opportunity to hear how different types of firms approach design in two cities with similar historical legacies (working class cities with port industries). \nThis series is designed and coordinated by Cristina Murphy\, Assistant Professor at Morgan State University School of Architecture + Planning (MSU SA+P) and Adjunct Professor at Virginia Tech School of Architecture + Design’s Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center. \nDates: Every Tuesday from February 14 to March 7\, 2023\, 12pm ET (US) / 18.00 CET (NL)\nFormat: Online webinar — moderated panel discussion and Q&A.\nAIA continuing education credits: 1.0 AIA LU|HSW per webinar.\nRegistration: Admission is free but donations to support student travel to Rotterdam are appreciated (donation page accessible via link above). \nFebruary 14 Urban Ecology: Approaches for Environmental + Social Justice \nUrbanization is domesticating our ecosystems. Cities are spatially heterogeneous\, complex adaptive systems. Furthermore\, contemporary cities tend to be big in size and ecological footprint\, fast in growth in population and land\, and irregular in landscape configuration. Although the dynamic trajectory of cities can never be controlled\, its evolution can be guided toward desirable directions through planning and design that are based on urban ecological knowledge and sustainability approaches. Register here. \nFebruary 21 Collective Reuse: The Art of Reuse through Community Participation \nAdaptive Reuse is the use of buildings and materials for purposes other than originally intended. Although adaptive reuse has a long tradition in arts and crafts\, more recently environmental awareness and design for sustainability have revitalized the role of a trash-to- treasures approach\, providing a wide array of contemporary urban design which is an important part of today’s city sustainability. In this session\, we will explore the roles of adaptive reuse in the urban environment\, focusing on repurposed objects (also) found in urban public spaces in order to (re)define the city. Register here.  \nFebruary 28 The Generous City: Infrastructure and the Highway to Nowhere \n \nCities and infrastructure can have an incredible impact on the lives of people. In the 1950s\, the United States undertook an ambitious national interstate highway project with the goal of building roads to connect American cities. The design was\, however\, intertwined with racial prejudice creating segregation and impoverishing communities. In the Netherlands\, cities like Rotterdam were rebuilt after the war and focused on cars as opposed to people. Urban highways have largely had a negative impact on urban life. This is the opposite of a “generous city”. In this session\, architects from the Netherlands and the US will discuss how cities and their infrastructures can consciously contribute to empower people through generosity-by-design. Register here. \nMarch 7 The Power of Design! Working with Stakeholders to Design Human Spaces \nIn order to improve the way we live\, we ought to design healthier and safer cities and smarter buildings. To do so\, collaboration is key. Our world faces challenges that are too great to be tackled by a single discipline. Baltimore and Rotterdam\, like many cities around the world\, face challenges related to food segregation\, water resiliency\, and poverty (also connected to homelessness)\, to name a few. More than ever\, inviting users\, customers\, governance\, and other stakeholders into the process of design is fundamental. These “new” stakeholders need to be brought in as active co-designers\, to confront the big issues and develop actionable ways to improve experiences and to co-create new solutions. How can we\, the designers\, guarantee the welfare of citizens\, through the creation of the built environment? Collaboration is discovering and using unique perspectives and benefiting from collective exploration. Register here.

SUMMARY:Preservation for the People: The Fight for Development Without Displacement
DESCRIPTION:Photo of Sonia Eaddy by Charles Cohen/Poppleton Photo. \nDate: September 29\, 2022\nTime: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM EDT\nLocation:\nMICA Brown Center/ Falvey Hall\n1300 Mt. Royal Ave Baltimore\, MD 21217 \n[REGISTER HERE] \nAbout this event\nAfter an 18-year fight to save her home from condemnation by Baltimore City\, Sonia Eaddy won. The historic Sarah Ann Street alley houses will be preserved and offered for homeownership after being rehabbed by Shelley Halstead of Black Women Build. However\, the story of redevelopment in Poppleton illustrates how Baltimore City failed to see and hear the people of this historically Black neighborhood along the Highway to Nowhere. Working with residents on research\, public programming\, and organizing to amplify the stories of legacy residents fighting for development without displacement\, we were able to achieve a reset on a misguided redevelopment project underway since 2004. The City’s stance is that we cannot change the past and must move forward in good faith. As a cultural historian and preservationist\, I argue we must honor and remember the past and how we got here in order to do the hard work to repair and make amends for the damage done to Black neighborhoods and people in Baltimore. We need real change on how development works in Baltimore and cities like it. \nAbout the Speaker\nNicole King\, Ph.D. is an associate professor in the Department of American Studies and director of the Orser Center for the Study of Place\, Community\, and Culture at UMBC. Her research focuses on issues of place\, power\, and economic development. She co-founded the Baltimore Traces: Communities in Transition public humanities project where students work with local partners to research historic neighborhoods and complete cultural documentation projects. She is an editor of the book Baltimore Revisited: Stories of Inequality and Resistance in a U.S. City (Rutgers University Press\, 2019).

SUMMARY:Baltimore – Rotterdam: Designing Cities (8 Week Webinar Series)
DESCRIPTION:Speakers:\nElina Karanastasi ex.s architecture\nMegan Elcrat\, Present Company \nThis webinar series is about design! During these eight weeks\, sixteen lectures\, we will open a dynamic discussion among Rotterdam and Baltimore-based designers on architecture and cities and draw conclusions on how design and policy can better the built environment for everyone to access. \nWe will observe how different architecture offices based in Rotterdam and in Baltimore operate in order to design (in) the city and improve citizens’ experience of space. \nEach week\, two designers will discuss design topics from a social\, spatial and architectural point of view specific to Rotterdam and Baltimore. \nDesigners have been combined to reflect similarities in size\, projects and methodology. Through lectures\, moderated dialogues\, and exchanges with the audience\, we will explore if and how the environment (historical\, political\, economical\, social\, environmental\, economies\, …) is truly determinant to the fail or success of a project and what that really means for the city\, the citizens and their well-being.
