SUMMARY:The Restorative Impact of Perceived Open Space
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar from Sky Factory as we explore the restorative impact of perceived open space…\n\n\n\nThis course explores the impact of deep plan buildings on human performance. We analyze the role daylight and perceived open space play in shaping cognitive function\, as well as how our psycho-physiology changes in interior environments. \nThe course introduces a new technology that proposes the restorative value of perceived open space in its two essential orientations: perceived zenith and perceived horizon line. Restoring these fundamental spatial reference frames through a valid multisensory illusion restores a range of wellness benefits normally associated with interiors applying biophilic design principles. \nLearning Objectives \n• Discuss the sky as the therapeutic spatial medium of daylight. \n• Explain why circadian photoreceptors may generate a restorative effect on spatial cognition. \n• Describe the link between our sensorimotor system\, memory\, and spatial reference frames. \n• Summarize the malleable nature of human perception and how multisensory \nillusions can make space. \n• Explain the implications of deep plan buildings on human wellness. \nAbout the Presenter \nGeof Northridge has extensive experience in both commercial real estate and the commercial construction industry. For the past eight years he has been with Sky Factory developing and presenting continuing education courses on topics including the effect of biophilic design elements on human physiology\, how biophilic illusions can be created to provide many of the same physiological benefits as actual biophilic design elements\, and how knowledge of the mechanics of human perception can be paired with carefully crafted illusions of nature to alter how humans experience interior spaces.

SUMMARY:Two Sides of the Redline: How Policy Shaped A City (Maryland Historical Society)
DESCRIPTION:Across the United States\, patterns of racial and economic segregation can be directly attributed to the systematic denial of mortgage and bank lending encouraged in the National Housing Act of 1934. \nThese nation-wide discriminatory practices\, known as redlining\, continued legally until 1968\, when the Fair Housing Act banned racial discrimination in housing. But 50 years after that law passed\, the lingering effects of redlining are clear. In this virtual program\, hosted by the Maryland Historical Society\, experts will outline the practice of redlining in Baltimore and discuss the historical\, demographic\, economic\, and traumatic impact these policies continue to have on Black communities today. \nModerated by David Armenti\, MdHS Director of Education with special guests Dr. Corey J. Henderson\, historical trauma healing expert; Eric Holcomb\, Executive Director of the Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation (CHAP); Antero Pietila\, journalist\, writer\, and author of Not in My Neighborhood; and Delegate Stephanie Smith\, District 45\, Baltimore City. \nLEARN MORE

SUMMARY:Roadblocks: The Effects of Highways In and Around Druid Hill Park
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the cultural and environmental impacts of cars in and around Druid Hill Park.\n\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom and Facebook Live. Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact ndennies@aiabalt.com. If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance. \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present a series of 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. \nTickets are donation based. We encourage you to give what you can to support the BAF\, Baltimore Heritage and Clean Water Action. Your support helps us make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create more virtual programs like this. \nJoin public artist Graham Coreil-Allen and environmental activist Jennifer Kunze as they explore the cultural and environmental impacts of cars in and around Druid Hill Park. Beginning in the 1940s\, car-oriented planning deprived neighboring residents of the public health\, cultural\, and economic benefits of Druid Hill Park. Construction of the Druid Hill Expressway and the Jones Falls Expressway resulted in dangerous five-to-nine-lane-wide highways encapsulating the park\, and blocking access by nearby residents. Further\, this influx of cars brought increased air pollution into the neighborhoods. \nGraham will shed light on The Access Project for Druid Hill Park (TAP Druid Hill)\, his initiative to bring together diverse neighborhood groups to shape the future of transportation around and access to Druid Hill Park. Jennifer will join the conversation from another angle to discuss the environmental and public health impacts of car travel in the city. The transportation sector is responsible for about 1/3 of asthma-causing air pollution\, more than any smokestack\, and Baltimore’s car-centric planning has harmed our air and water. \nAbout the Speakers\n \nGraham Coreil-Allen is a Baltimore-based public artist making places more inclusive and livable through public art\, placemaking\, and civic engagement. Coreil-Allen collaborates with neighbors to interpret and activate public spaces through public art for pedestrian safety and play\, interactive mapping\, radical walking tours\, and neighborhood advocacy. Whether creating artistic crosswalks\, memorable wayfinding\, interactive sculptures\, or light art installations\, Coreil-Allen caringly infuses public space with play and accessibility. \nJennifer Kunze is the Maryland Program Organizer at Clean Water Action\, where she works to support local campaigns in communities across Maryland. In Baltimore\, her work has focused on banning crude oil train terminals\, understanding the risk of lead in our drinking water supply\, supporting offshore wind development\, advocating for better assistance and prevention for people dealing with sewage backups in their homes\, and more.

SUMMARY:Architectures of Socialization & Control: A Conversation about Schools\, Prisons\, and Housing (SAH\, Latrobe Chapter)
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the New York Review of Architecture + Interference Archive\, the event will focus on the intersections of schools\, prisons\, and housing. It will feature Latrobe’s 2020 symposium keynote speaker Dr. Amber Wiley in conversation with Dr. Joy Knoblauch\, and will be moderated by Dante Furioso. Dr. Wiley’s research concerns architecture of schools in Washington\, DC and prior to earning her PhD from GWU\, she served on the board of directors of the Latrobe Chapter. \nSpeakers \nAmber Wiley specializes in architecture\, urbanism\, and African American cultural studies. Her research interests are centered on the social aspects of design and how it affects urban communities – architecture as a literal and figural structure of power. She focuses on the ways local and national bodies have made the claim for the dominating narrative and collective memory of cities and examines how preservation and public history contribute to the creation and maintenance of the identity and “sense of place” of a city. \nJoy Knoblauch is an Assistant Professor of Architecture teaching history and theory of architecture as an exploration of architecture’s engagement with politics and science. She is on the steering committee of the University of Michigan’s Science\, Technology & Society Program and the steering committee for the Graduate Certificate in Healthy Cities. Her first book on The Architecture of Good Behavior: Psychology and Modern Institutional Design in Postwar America is forthcoming in the spring of 2020. Her current research expands this critique of functional theories of psyche into sensory and empathic arenas including a critical interpretation of ergonomics. \n  \nRegister Here:

Noxzema got its start in Maryland and became famous for its skin cream in little blue glass jars. \nThe building has been transformed into a vibrant mixed-use community of apartments and artist workspaces. Many of the building’s original features have been retained and restored including the original maple wood flooring\, glass block windows\, soaring 15’ factory ceilings\, and massive mushroom shaped concrete columns. The renovation was designed to meet the requirements of both National and State Historic tax credits. \nThe result is a decidedly modern mixed use building that celebrates its industrial origins. It includes 96 loft style and studio apartments with original concrete floors and modern kitchens\, studio artist space and gallery\, and common areas including a theater\, gym\, and pool. \nLearn about its transformation from the architect. \nAbout the Presenter \nJessica Damseaux\, AIA\, is a Principal at Alexander Design Studio and was Project Manager/Architect for the Fox Building.

SUMMARY:2020 AIA Baltimore & BAF Spring Lecture Series 3: Building and Unbuilding
DESCRIPTION:1.5 AIA/CES HSW LUs available/1.5 PDH available (LA CES provided by Maryland ASLA) \nOverview \nThe 2020 AIA Baltimore & BAF Spring Lecture Series will explore unbuilt architecture and design work. Speakers will showcase and discuss their unbuilt\, speculative\, and/or dismantled work\, including competitions\, explorations\, and research. The series will explore why projects go unrealized and create a dialogue about what could have been\, what is\, and what can be. \nSee the full calendar of lectures \nLecture 3: Building and Unbuilding \nJ. Yolande Daniels\, studioSUMO\n \nJennifer Goold\, Neighborhood Design Center \nThe design of space\, objects\, and environments requires an exploration of the impact of architecture beyond surfaces and objects. The spaces and environments we inhabit are all constructed\, and social constructs are formalized in architecture and urban planning. \nYolande Daniels will discuss Building and Unbuilding—two areas of research and production that explore architecture at multiple scales ranging from the macro-scale of societal patterns that inform the design of objects and spaces\, to the mezzo-scale of institutional buildings and dwellings\, to the micro-scale of the patterning of surfaces. \nJennifer Goold will explore how COVID-19 is prompting cities and city-dwellers the world over to reconsider our relationship to the built environment. This public health crisis is providing insight into the critical relationship between the health of our environment\, the role of public space to human health and wellness\, and the importance of local business in resilience. Can we grasp this moment and unbuild some of the systems that are not going to work in the future of cities? \nAbout the Speakers \nJ. Yolande Daniels\, studioSUMO\n \nYolande Daniels is a co-founding principal of the architecture and design practice\, studioSUMO in New York and Los Angeles\, and\, an Assistant Professor in Architecture at USC/University of Southern California. She received architecture degrees from Columbia University and City College\, CUNY. She held the Sarineen chair at Yale University and the Silman Chair at Howard University and taught at Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Columbia University\, Washington University\, The University of Michigan\, and City College. \nYolande is a recipient of the Rome Prize in Architecture and of fellowships from the Mac Dowell Colony and the Independent Study Program of the Whitney American Museum of Art in both studio practice and cultural studies.

Poole & Hunt thrived alongside the booming textile industry of the Jones Falls Valley. It grew and remained a site of heavy industry for well over a century\, was later adapted by a flourishing arts community\, and after a tragic fire\, was transformed into Clipper Mill: a mixed use development that includes manufacturing\, residences\, design and engineering firms\, fine dining\, and more. \nThis presentation will cover the history of the Poole & Hunt Machine Shop and Iron Works\, including the impressive things they made here\, from the columns of the Capitol Building in Washington DC to contributions to both World War efforts. Discover how this site of heavy industry has changed over its 170 year history to meet the various needs of its users. And learn about the role of historic preservation in adapting historic sites for modern uses. \nAbout the Presenter \nNathan Dennies is the Associate Director of the Baltimore Architecture Foundation. He serves as chair of the Greater Hampden Heritage Alliance\, and on the boards of the Friends of The Jones Falls\, Baltimore City Historical Society\, and the Greater Baltimore History Alliance. Nathan has spent the past 6 years researching the industrial history of the Jones Falls Valley and lives in Woodberry. \nAbout the Baltimore Architecture Foundation \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) celebrates design and the built environment. Launched in 1987\, BAF encourages people to explore Baltimore architecture: to be mindful of the area’s history\, and recognize Baltimore’s architectural heritage\, and appreciate its design innovations. \nThrough its tours\, lectures\, educational programs for adults and kids\, exhibitions\, research\, and publications\, the BAF demonstrates how ideas are manifested in the built environment and urban design of the city. \nhttp://baltimorearchitecture.org/  \nAbout Baltimore Heritage  \nFounded in 1960\, Baltimore Heritage\, Inc. is Baltimore’s nonprofit historic and architectural preservation organization.

SUMMARY:Intellectual Empathy: Tools for Managing Difficult Dialogues
DESCRIPTION:Despite a commitment to diversity and inclusivity\, many groups and organizations find that their members still have a hard time talking…\n\n\n\nDespite a commitment to diversity and inclusivity\, many groups and organizations find that their members still have a hard time talking across differences in race\, class\, gender\, political affiliation\, sexual orientation\, age\, religion\, ability\, or any other kind of identity. We often lack the tools to help us graciously navigate conversations like these—and so we avoid having them. We just don’t talk\, even though research shows groups who share diverse viewpoints are more innovative\, better at problem solving\, more open to feedback\, and better off in the long run. \nIn this workshop we will explore how avoiding conversations about difficult social issues can lead team members to feel unheard\, perpetuating a cycle of misunderstanding and misinformation. Fear of “saying the wrong thing” can actually result in worse outcomes. Rather than avoiding potentially contentious conversations\, we will develop stepping stones to increase awareness\, mutual understanding and growth. In short\, we can all benefit from diversity and inclusion. But it won’t happen by itself. We have to do our part to be the change that we want to see\, by creating productive spaces for these types of conversations and learning how to effectively navigate difficult topics. \nThis workshop will also address communication during this time of social distancing\, and navigating difficult dialogues in virtual spaces. \nAbout the Presenter \nMaureen Linker received her Ph.D. in philosophy in from the City University of New York\, Graduate Center. She is currently a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Michigan– Dearborn where she has been teaching since 1997. She has published in a variety of academic journals including The Criminal Law Quarterly\, Perspectives in Multicultural Education\, The Journal of Argumentation\, and Social Theory and Practice. Her book\, Intellectual Empathy: Critical Thinking for Social Justice was published in 2015 by University of Michigan Press.  The book\, in its second printing\, is used in a variety of courses around the U.S. and Canada including the University of Georgia\, University of Northern Illinois\, Villanova\, Michigan State University\, and the University of Victoria.  According to one reviewer\, “Linker’s writing style is conversational and engaging\, and her impeccable integration of scholarship with compelling\, multi-layered contemporary examples and case studies makes it an excellent resource for social theorists.” (Debra Jackson –Teaching Philosophy) \nIn addition to research and classroom teaching\, Maureen has led workshops on “Diversity Fatigue\,” “Navigating Difficult Dialogues\,” “ Finding Common Ground through Intellectual Empathy”\, and “Managing Implicit Biases” for the American Institute of Architects\, the Michigan Roundtable for Diversity and Inclusion\, the American Philosophical Association’s Teaching Philosophy Consortium\, the University of Michigan- Ann Arbor School of Social Work\, University of Michigan- Ann Arbor Library\, and the Canton Public Library.

SUMMARY:[Webinar] 2020 AIA Baltimore & BAF Spring Lecture Series 2: Unfolding
DESCRIPTION:This event will only be available as a webinar as part of AIA Baltimore’s and BAF’s response to the coronavirus (COVID-19). The Webinar will be available to stream via Facebook Live and Zoom.\n1.5 AIA/CES LUs; LA CES PDH and APA CEUs available (LA CES provided by Maryland ASLA) \n  \nOverview\nThe 2020 AIA Baltimore & BAF Spring Lecture Series will explore unbuilt architecture and design work. Speakers will showcase and discuss their unbuilt\, speculative\, and/or dismantled work\, including competitions\, explorations\, and research. The series will explore why projects go unrealized and create a dialogue about what could have been\, what is\, and what can be.\nSee the full calendar of lectures \n  \nLecture 2: Unfolding\nCarla Swickerath\, Studio Libeskind \nSeema D. Iyer\, PhD\, University of Baltimore \nModerator: Katie O’Meara\, MICA Architectural Design \nBetween concept design and project realization\, there is a multitude of unknowable factors that impact the outcome building projects. The architect’s role in navigating the interests of various stakeholders is to compromise\, while staying true to the greater vision for the project. The architect must also consider site context and the needs of the community to achieve just and equitable outcomes. \nCarla Swickerath of Studio Libeskind will explore the currents that impact architecture through the lens of four seminal projects: the rebuilding of the World Trade Center post 9/11; the 1996 extension to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; a new museum for the Kurds in Iraq; and the iconic sky garden tower\, One Madison\, in the heart of Manhattan. \nSeema Iyer of University of Baltimore will discuss Baltimore’s Vital Signs—the data gathered by the Baltimore Neighborhood Indicator’s Alliance that reveal key indicators that stand as major barriers to truly achieving a more just and equitable city. Importantly\, community-based indicators can expose the magnitude of issues that neighborhoods face in order to help communities set clear and measurable goals towards removing barriers and improving quality of life. \nThis lecture will reveal why projects go unbuilt by reflecting upon lessons learned and examining data gathered through urban research\, and how these factors inform future built work. \n  \nAbout the Speakers\nCarla Swickerath\, Studio Libeskind\nSince joining Studio Libeskind in 1999\, Carla Swickerath has gained diverse experience in cultural\, civic\, retail\, commercial\, residential and planning projects around the world. She has lead many of the Studio’s successful project teams from concept design through to completion—including the Crystals retail complex at CityCenter in Las Vegas\, the Hyundai Haeundae Udong I-Park residential development in Busan\, Korea\, and the Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco. \nMs. Swickerath has also led the complex World Trade Center redevelopment process from the initial competition phase to the present. Today\, her dual management and design skills come into play as she oversees all aspects of operations at Studio Libeskind. Ms. Swickerath leads many of the Studio’s projects\, coordinating the design team and consultants\, liaising with clients and client’s representatives and managing project budgets and schedules. \nShe earned a Masters in Architecture from the University of Michigan\, following undergraduate studies in English and Art History at the University of Florida. She has taught at the Kunsthochschule Berlin-Weißensee in Berlin and University of Michigan. Carla speaks publicly on architecture\, design and planning.

SUMMARY:Commemorative Monuments and Adaptive Use (Jackson Gilman-Forlini)
DESCRIPTION:The first in a series of virtual tours and presentations with Baltimore Heritage and the Baltimore Architecture Foundation\n\n\n\nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present a series of 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. First up is Jackson Gilman-Forlini\, Historic Preservation Officer for the Baltimore City Department of General Services and BAF board member\, speaking about Commemorative Monuments and Adaptive Use with a focus on the Baltimore War Memorial. \nTickets are donation based. We encourage you to give what you can to support the BAF and Baltimore Heritage. Your support helps us make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create more virtual programs like this.  \nCommemorative monuments and memorials are frequently valued for their historical significance as well as their role in representing collective memory. But despite the durable materials from which they are constructed\, the symbolic meaning of commemorative structures is often impermanent\, as evidenced by recent changes in public opinion toward Baltimore’s Confederate monuments. Generally\, the impermanence of collective memory presents a problem for preservationists at these sites since preservation guidelines presume significance of a resource to be inherent to the building material – and therefore permanent. \nUsing the Baltimore War Memorial as a case-study\, this talk will propose a solution to the problem of monument preservation by applying the modern principles of adaptive reuse to their management. In order to preserve the relevance and symbolic usefulness of these places\, the physical markers of their symbolism must periodically be updated to reflect contemporary value-systems and ideas. \nAbout the Presenter \nJackson Gilman-Forlini is the Historic Preservation Officer for the Baltimore City Department of General Services\, where he manages the preservation of city-owned historic landmarks\, including the Baltimore War Memorial. He holds a B.A. and M.A. in Historic Preservation from Goucher College\, where his thesis dealt with the adaptive reuse of monuments and memorials. He is frequently quoted in The Baltimore Sun and has written for Maryland Historical Magazine and the architecture blog McMansion Hell. \nAbout the Baltimore Architecture Foundation \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) celebrates design and the built environment. Launched in 1987\, BAF encourages people to explore Baltimore architecture: to be mindful of the area’s history\, and recognize Baltimore’s architectural heritage\, and appreciate its design innovations. \nThrough its tours\, lectures\, educational programs for adults and kids\, exhibitions\, research\, and publications\, the BAF demonstrates how ideas are manifested in the built environment and urban design of the city. \nhttp://baltimorearchitecture.org/  \nAbout Baltimore Heritage  \nFounded in 1960\, Baltimore Heritage\, Inc. is Baltimore’s nonprofit historic and architectural preservation organization.
