About this Event:
In the fall of 1985, an interdisciplinary panel sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) met to exchange views on the history of ecological change within the Chesapeake Bay. The directive to the speakers was simple –– How might humankind learn from the past in order to protect and restore our natural resources for future generations? Fast forward nearly 40 years, Estuary Urbanism has a similar intention –– inviting scientists, humanists, designers, managers, and engaged citizens –– to share long-term perspectives and valuable lessons motivated by natural events, human activities, and climate change. Although the discussion will be focused on the Chesapeake, we hope the insights gained will be applicable to estuaries across North America and the world and the communities that dwell within them. The symposium will conclude with a narrated boat tour within the greater Port of Baltimore, highlighting the privately and publicly owned marine terminals comprising it, how these facilities operate, and the depth of their importance to the local, state, regional, and national economies.
ASLA LACES approved (full symposium 7 PDH|HSW, morning or afternoon only 2.5 PDH|HSW, boat tour 2 PDH|HSW).
4 AICP CM credits approved.

ABOUT THIS LECTURE
This presentation explores the continuous evolution of community projects through the implementation of a nimble design process, from conception through construction, for the seamless integration of functional, social, environmental, and aesthetic goals.
Community-centered projects often involve a dynamic program of multiple entities co-existing under the same roof, strong emphasis on equitable spaces and environmental responsibility intensive constituent and regulatory review processes, and limited budgets. To achieve the desired community impact, small firms must find efficiencies within their workflow and employ clear, attractive, and informative drawings and documents that reach varied audiences through the life of the project.

Maryland Club Tour
2024-04-23 17:00 - 18:00
The Maryland Club formed in 1857, when workboats, sailing ships, and steamboats jammed Baltimore harbor. Political parties frequently met here to nominate candidates for President, and citizens proudly referred to the place as “the monumental city.” After the Civil War, as the club flourished, and the city expanded northward, the governors purchased a vacant lot on the southeast corner of Charles and Eager streets and made plans for a new club house. The lead architect, Josias Pennington of the local firm Baldwin and Pennington, had much experience designing B&O Railroad stations. His Romanesque building in the style of Henry Hobson Richardson made heavy use of Baltimore-County white marble and formally opened on New Year’s Day, 1892.
The tour will offer a rare chance to see inside the historic Maryland Club. After a disastrous fire in 1995, club leadership elected not simply to repair the Eager Street building but to restore it– refinishing floors and paneling, repainting walls, and rethinking the arrangement of prints, paintings, and trophies. Just off the main foyer you will discover the former lounge area that was transformed into a casual restaurant and bar area, thoughtfully designed by SM+P Architects with curated art selections from the club’s existing collections. In addition, the tour will include the 2018 modern addition to the club that contain its world class squash and fitness facilities, locker/shower rooms, and pro shop.
Register here to join the tour.

Registration 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!

ABOUT THIS LECTURE
Marlon 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.
Both 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.

ABOUT THIS LECTURE
How does underutilized urban infrastructure become world class parks?
Chip 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.
Brooklyn 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.
Both 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.
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
Charles (Chip) H. Place AIA
A 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.
Early 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:

5000 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.
The 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.
Numerous 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.
The 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.
Further expanding Greater Houston’s public realm by directing Beyond the Bayous, a landscaped based planning initiative that immediately generated additional park and greenway projects.

Chip 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.
Matthew Urbanski

The Restoration of St. Ignatius Church – Chapel Point
2024-03-19 17:00 - 18:00 | AIA Baltimore & BAF Center for Architecture and Design, 100 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD, 21201, United States
Register here to join AIA Baltimore’s Historic Resources Committee for a presentation about the history and restoration of St. Ignatius Church in southern Maryland.
With roots traced back to its founding in 1641, St. Ignatius Church – Chapel Point is the oldest, continuously serviced Catholic Parish in the United States. Construction of the building that currently stands today ranges from the 1690s through 1798, as the Church grew from a single one-story residence into a larger structure comprised of the original chapel as well as the St. Thomas Manor House and Church wing. The Church has undergone various renovations, including those after a major fire in the late 1800s, and currently resides on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2018, St. Ignatius engaged BECS to review several components of the building for structural concerns. The following year, the assessment expanded to include the exterior facades, which were planned for restoration. Through a series of investigations and forensic testing, BECS identified the surface issues and sought to address their root causes. BECS worked with the Church to assemble a project team, and the restoration project began in earnest in the Spring of 2022 with Contracting Specialists Inc. (CSI) performing the repairs. Restoration efforts included repairs to and strengthening of damaged brick and stone masonry, restoration of stained-glass windows, reconstruction of masonry chimneys and a wood-framed sunporch, replacement of stone entry steps and wood doors, and restoration of wooden eave and metal belfry elements. The project was substantially completed by the end of 2023. This presentation will provide a brief history of the building before delving into the restoration project and its many facets.

Renovation, Retrofit and Reversibility: Structural Reinforcement at Peabody Library
2024-02-20 17:00 - 18:00
Join AIA Baltimore’s Historic Resources Committee to learn how structural engineering firm 1200AE developed a retrofit strengthening system for renovations to the George Peabody Library.
The George Peabody Library of Johns Hopkins University opened in 1878 and has continuously served the public as a premier research library for the University and City of Baltimore. The main stack room’s five tiers of ornamental cast iron balconies are fed light from the atrium lay light, above which a parallel history of building technology is embodied in the spectacular Phoenix Iron trusses that span the atrium. Join AIA Baltimore’s Historic Resources Committee to learn how structural engineering firm 1200AE developed a retrofit strengthening system that minimized damage to the historic truss members while accommodating the very challenging requirements of construction above the library space. The reinforcement employs an innovative approach of “reversible” detailing, where connections between new and old are implemented without drilled holes for bolts or welding between steel and iron.
Founding Principal at 1200 Architectural Engineers, presenter John Matteo has a Masters in Civil Engineering from Princeton University and studied as Fulbright Scholar in Lausanne, Switzerland. Mr. Matteo served in the adjunct faculty at Columbia University, the University of Virginia, and currently serves as Lecturer in Civil & Systems Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. He was awarded the 2007 Kress Mid-Career Grant by the James Marston Fitch Foundation and the 2011 Rome Prize in Historic Preservation and Conservation at the American Academy in Rome. Mr. Matteo’s career has focused on preservation engineering, with a diverse range of projects that include preservation work at multiple Frank Lloyd Wright sites, including Fallingwater, Taliesin, and Taliesin West. Additional work includes the renovation of the University of Virginia Rotunda, Baltimore’s Peabody Library, DAR Constitution Hall, and numerous historic projects regional to his office in Old Town Alexandria, VA.

Through a Glass Darkly: The Social History of Stained Glass in Baltimore
2024-01-06 14:00 - 15:30
Among its many architectural treasures, Charm City has an abundance of stained-glass windows dating back to the 19th century. But will this beloved art form continue here in the coming years? Anthropologist and author Linda Rabben explores this question and many more in Through a Glass Darkly: The Social History of Stained Glass in Baltimore, the first illustrated book on the subject.
Register to join the Baltimore Architecture Foundation at Zion Church of the City of Baltimore on Saturday, January 7, 2024, at 2 pm, to learn about stained glass in the city’s homes, civic buildings and houses of worship, including the windows that adorn the church.
The author will share her research on the social, economic and cultural contexts of this traditional art and craft, as well as the people who made and still make the windows. A diverse group—including Charm City buffs, decorative-arts aficionados, architects, historians, artists and crafters, students, city planners, social scientists, civil rights activists, and stained-glass makers—will view these feasts for the eye and hear the stories they tell.
Zion Church of the City of Baltimore, host of the talk, is featured in the book’s text and images. Church member Bernard Penner will share additional information about Zion’s history and its stained-glass windows.

Baltimore SketchWorks 2023 Workshops
2023-12-09 10:00 - 12:00
Baltimore-based architects Carlos Almeida (AECOM), Jerome Gray (Jerome C. Gray Architect), Eric J. Jenkins (University of Maryland), Omar Calderon Santiago (Perkins Eastman) and Gabriel Kroiz (Morgan State University) have organized a small group of sketchers called Baltimore SketchWorks. They invite everyone to help celebrate sketching and the architecture of Baltimore through sketching tours, lectures, and exhibitions. Their first initiative is series of monthly sketching workshops in and around Baltimore.
These architects, with varied backgrounds, practices and career paths, believe in those the inherently human and universal qualities of sketching that link mind and body. While architects in the 21st century must embrace and use the most advanced digital technologies and tools, architects also know that there is a need for “both/and” thinking and working and that practice requires varied tools for varied situations. A sketch’s inaccuracies, mistakes, and “beautiful ugliness” not only allow for, but advances, the design search and connects us to one another. As architect Toshiko Mori notes, “I think the essential aspect of drawing [is that it creates] an immediate relationship between human beings; drawing survived everything. When I go to the world, 90% of places don’t have computers. So, to be able to interact with people, you have to draw. And then people can draw back. It’s still a universal language.”
Workshop 12 – “Putting Things in Perspective”
Date: Saturday, December 9
Time: 10:00am – noon
Location: Center for Architecture and Design, 100 N Charles St. P101
Bring: iPhone or any tablet with a sketching app installed
On Saturday morning, December 9th, Omar Calderon, AIA, Principal at Perkins Eastman, will lead Baltimore SketchWorks’ second workshop on tablet-based digital sketching and offer tips on how to use digital sketching in design practice. While Omar will use an iPad Pro and Morpholio Trace Ap, participants can bring an iPhone or any tablet with a sketching app installed. The workshop is free but limited to 20 participants. Please contact Eric Jenkins if you have any questions or would like to register. ericjenkinsarchitect@gmail.com
Baltimore SketchWorks is an evolving, informal group of Baltimore-based architects and sketchers who celebrate architectural sketching in Charm City. The first initiative of this celebration is a series of once-a-month sketching sessions. For more information, please see the group’s Instagram feed: baltimore_sketchworks or contact Eric Jenkins, AIA (ericjenkinsarchitect@gmail.com). They invite everyone to participate.

Thin Brick for Precast Applications – Design Considerations
Brick and concrete are two of the oldest building materials known to man, with each being used since ancient times to create structures that are both magnificent and enduring. Brick facing has become a favorite option among precast applications because of the almost unlimited variety of colors, textures and finishes that can be achieved. This program will review system benefits and design considerations, as well as specific techniques used to manufacture thin brick and precast for these special applications that will aid the designer in realizing the highest performance and aesthetics expectations.
This program will review code and standard requirements relating to thin brick specification for embedding into precast panels. Information related to life cycle and environmental impacts, as well as management of water penetration is also presented.
Learning Objectives:

Review physical property and tolerance requirements of ASTM C 1088 for thin brick units.
Compare recommendations within PCI specifications for thin brick with ASTM C 1088 requirements.
Identify characteristics of thin brick faced precast that result in enhanced aesthetics, resilience, quality and economy.
Apply design and specification best practices that promote design flexibility and optimal appearance.

The space that surrounds us has a direct influence on our perception and thus on how we feel. Whether a room evokes a feeling of well-being or discomfort is directly related to how the room manifests itself. Architecture acts like a second skin. Atmosphere, light, color, acoustics and materials all play an important role. Nevertheless, it is not enough to simply add up these factors. In order to achieve the subtle spatiality that really “touches” us humans in the design, it is necessary to perceive and understand the real needs of the users, and not only the physical but also the psychological needs are of great importance. Only when the needs and identity of the users are perceived can one build for them.
People in healthcare facilities are particularly sensitive to the built environment because of their vulnerable condition. If this does not connect with their real needs, such as a sense of emotional security, this can lead to agitation, aggression and misunderstood behavior, while an environment with which users identify can create a sense of well-being and contribute to healing. Andrea Möhn has been researching this effect in her projects for years.

Andrea Möhn is managing director of AM__A Andrea Möhn Architects, an international architectural practice in Rotterdam, and a lecturer at the Academy of Architecture and Urbanism in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and the University of Applied Sciences Dortmund, Germany, and formerly at the TU Delft and the University of Applied Sciences Frankfurt. For the past 25 years, she has designed custom, high-quality architecture at all scales, from master plans to bespoke solutions, with a focus on healthcare design. Her primary interest lies on the influence of the built environment on human behavior, particularly architecture for mental health. She studied at the Technical University of Berlin, the University of Stuttgart and the Delft University of Technology. Her multidisciplinary design approach, based on research, intensive interaction with clients and building users, and her extensive experience with “evidence-based” design, has led to many innovative new concepts resulting in numerous successful projects, many of which have won international awards and appeared in publications around the world. In addition to her work, she is a board member of EUI – Epidemic Urban Initiative.
