We’ll explore what makes this modernist church so beloved by Baltimoreans. \nThe Church of the Redeemer was built in 1958 and designed by architect Pietro Belluschi in collaboration with RTKL. It is a Mid-Century Modern\, re-interpretive addition to the original 1856 church by R. Snowden Andrews (1830-1903). Its sophisticated design integrates original stone and like materials to create a modern spirituality of the time. \nPeitro Belluschi (1899-1994) was born in Italy\, and moved to Portland\, Oregon in the 1920’s. His churches and residences reflected a Pacific Northwest vernacular of wood and stone\, while his seminal commercial work was more modern in its materials vocabulary. We will tour the 1856 historic chapel\, and the 1958 church and supporting administration wing and will view some of the original drawings and documentation of the Belluschi work. \nThis program will be presented by We’ll be joined by Mark Schroeder\, Director of Facilities at the Church of the Redeemer. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Accelerated Bridge Construction Using Precast Concrete (SEI Maryland)
DESCRIPTION:Receive (1.0) PDH / AIA LU \nSince its introduction in the United States in 1949\, precast\, prestressed concrete has rapidly become the preferred composite material for bridge design and construction as well as many other transportation-related projects.

This growth came\, and will continue to come\, from the commitment of precast producers to develop\, improve\, and implement advanced materials\, products\, and technology all aimed at enhancing the performance of bridges and transportation structures. Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) is a unique approach to project planning\, material acquisition\, and on-site work for bridge construction\, rehabilitation\, and replacement. A trusted method that professionals all over the world have employed for more than twenty years\, ABC uses prefabricated road and bridge elements to support cost-effective and fast project completion. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Project Pipeline Program 2021 (NOMA)
DESCRIPTION:Project Pipeline is a National Initiative established in 2006 by The National Organization of Minority Architects.\nProject Pipeline Program is hosted nation-wide\, has taught thousands of students\, over many hours through the endless efforts of volunteer mentors\, and sponsors. Students are introduced to the people\, professions\, and ideas that make up the architecture and design profession. The five (5) day camp offers students with varied skills levels and interests to work both individually and collaboratively through a virtual environment to address community focused issues through creativity and design innovation. Pipeline students are asked to think creatively about the spaces around them and are given the opportunity to investigate how they can best influence those spaces. Each day consists of various hands-on activities and learning sessions designed to encourage students to synthesize and interpret new information as they design a new building for their city to engage with. By the end of camp\, Pipeline students would have created the building that would fit within their city blocks for a better city and designed a community that reflects their academic\, cultural\, and design interests! \nThere is a pro-rated $25 registration fee to cover T-shirts\, build kits\, technology\, and supplies. \nLearn More & Register Here

At the same time\, the Federal Government began housing production for war workers. Frederick Law Olmsted\, Jr. (FLO Jr.) headed the Town Planning division of the new United States Housing Corporation. Several colleagues in the nascent profession of city planning who had worked with FLO Jr. on Roland Park and Forest Hills Gardens were all directly involved in designing Dundalk\, including Baltimore architect Edward Palmer\, Roland Park Company leader Edward Bouton\, and architects Grosvenor Atterbury and Charles Wellford Leavitt. Their plans were inspired by their designs for more affluent areas\, including curvilinear streets\, separation of uses\, green spaces\, and restrictive covenants. We will explore how these plans created a new community for workers and managers\, but was segregated by race. \nPresenters \nAmy E. Menzer is executive director of Dundalk Renaissance\, a 20 year-old non-profit community development organization\, and is deeply interested in planning history and neighborhood change. She also serves as a Board member of the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks and Landscapes. She previously worked for Citizens Planning and Housing Association on housing and transportation advocacy\, and has served as President of the Community Development Network of Maryland\, NeighborSpace Baltimore County\, the Patterson Park Neighborhood Association\, and the Transit Riders League of Metropolitan Baltimore. She holds a Ph.D in Human Geography from Johns Hopkins University. \nJoining this presentation is Meg Fairfax Fielding\, past president of BAF\, and member of BAF’s Dead Architects’ Society. By day\, Meg is the head of the History of Maryland Medicine at MedChi\, which was founded in 1799\, but on weekends\, loves to explore Baltimore and the surrounding areas and take deep dives into the historical contributing architects\, such as Palmer & Lamdin.

SUMMARY:The History and Award Winning Renovation of the Pratt Central Library
DESCRIPTION:Sandra Vicchio and Jillian Storms discuss the design of the Pratt Central Library\, one of Baltimore’s most beloved buildings.\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom. 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 the Virtual Histories Series: 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. Hosted every Friday at 1:00 pm EST. This special program is hosted in partnership with the George Peabody Library. \nTickets are donation based. We encourage you to give what you can to support 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. \nAbout this Presentation: \nThe Pratt Central Library achieved second place in BAF’s Architecture Madness tournament of Baltimore’s best buildings built between 1870 and today and hosted in celebration of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary. In today’s Virtual History\, we’ll explore what makes this library so special and how it served as a national model for libraries that followed. \nIn 1882\, Enoch Pratt gave a whopping $1 million gift to Baltimore City to launch the nation’s first free library system\, proclaiming\, “My library shall be for all\, rich and poor without distinction of race or color…” This welcoming vision was echoed in the 1929 design of the system’s new central branch\, starting with its street-level main entrance on Cathedral Street\, going against the grain of architectural design for grand civic institutions at the time. Architect Clyde N. Friz hoped to give the library “a dignity characterized by friendliness rather than aloofness” avoiding the old-fashioned institutional character of past libraries. When Baltimore’s Central Library opened on Cathedral Street in 1933\, it displayed its featured content in large bay windows along its street facade enticing all to enter\, much like department stores on nearby Howard Street. \nToday\, the Central Library serves more than half a million people a year and recently received a $115 million\, three-year renovation. Its exterior and interiors were gorgeously restored and fully transformed for the digital age with up-to-date systems and technology masterfully integrated into the historic fabric. Dropped ceilings were removed to reveal fabulous stenciling\, decorative molding damaged in prior renovations was restored by artisans\, and historically appropriate new lighting was installed to make the rooms feel light and airy. The results are stunning. \nCome join us as we hear from our two presenters about this award-winning library\, inviting and comfortable for all who enter\, and one that will fill you with civic pride. Gordon Krabbe\, Chief Operating Officer of the Enoch Pratt Free Library\, will be introducing our presenters. \nAbout the Presenters: \nJillian Storms\, AIA\, has done extensive architectural research on numerous architects who practiced in Maryland\, including Clyde N. Friz\, AIA\, who holds the first architectural licence issued by the State of Maryland. She is a former President of the BAF and now serves as co-chair of its research committee\, the Dead Architects’ Society. She serves as a capital programs manager at the School Facilities Branch of the Maryland State Department of Education. \nSandra Parsons Vicchio\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, is founding principal of Sandra Vicchio & Associates\, LLC\, with more than 30 years of experience in programming\, planning\, architecture\, and design. Her portfolio includes historic preservation\, renovation\, and new construction encompassing laboratory\, office\, academic\, administrative\, visitor center\, library\, and museum spaces. She co-authored the 2015 book The Living Library: An Intellectual Ecosystem and served as consulting architect on the Pratt Central Library renovation project team\, along with lead architects\, Beyer Blinder Belle\, and managing architects\, Ayers Saint Gross. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Hillandale Gateway Case Study:  Large Mixed Use/Multi-Family Passive House
DESCRIPTION:Hillandale Gateway is a mixed-use project targeting ambitious sustainability goals including LEED\, Passive House\, EnergyStar\, and NZE.\n\n\nThe Hillandale Gateway Project is a new multi-building\, mixed use\, mixed income development located in eastern Montgomery County\, Maryland. The project is prominently located adjacent to the Capital Beltway (I-495) affording it excellent visibility. Such prominence offers an opportunity to set a highly visible example of exceptionally sustainable development within the region. This Project represents a partnership formed in 2015 between two long-term community stakeholders with deep roots in Montgomery County: The Housing Opportunities Commission of Montgomery County and The Duffie Companies as represented by sustainability focused partner PS Ventures\, LLC. \nAs long-term holders of real estate\, the ownership team has recognized the values of quality\, durability\, and resilience from the very beginning. Hillandale Gateway will seek achievement of a variety of third-party certifications demonstrating the team’s commitment to setting new standards in sustainability and resiliency. The Project is targeting certifications including LEED for Homes Platinum\, Energy Star for Multi-Family\, Passive House (via Passive House Institute US – PHIUS)\, and Net Zero Energy (on one of the two residential buildings). Each of these ‘above code minimum’ standards offers a different focus which will be briefly explored during the session. \nSuch ambitious goals require the coordinated efforts of many professionals all working together and pulling in the same direction. Early in the entitlement process the Hillandale team was assembled (from all over the Country) for a number of design charrettes where Project goals were outlined\, significant obstacles were identified\, and various design approaches were discussed and challenged. The importance of assembling the correct team and ensuring that efforts are coordinated early in the development process will be a focus of this session. \nHIllandale Gateway will feature two separate residential structures connected by a common above ground parking structure. The design team worked together to identify products and systems which would allow for the achievement of our sustainability goals as close to cost parity with a code minimum approach as possible. The team’s methodology\, which favors use and adaptation of reliable systems\, iteration\, and a focus on simplicity will be discussed. The major systems being employed in Hillandale will be outlined and discussed (i.e. structure\, envelope\, heating/cooling\, ventilation\, & water heating). \nFinally\, with a long-term perspective\, the team has also demonstrated a “best value” vs purely “first cost” approach throughout the design and development process. The advantages of refocusing on the question of “Is it worth it?” compared to the far more common “How much does it cost?” will be explored. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Understand what the Passive House Standard is (PHIUS) and how it differs from LEED. \n2. Recognize the value of early design team coordination in the implementation of a large-scale multi-family passive house project. \n3. Recognize the benefits of research\, adaptation\, iteration\, and simplicity in the design of systems. \n4. Understand the challenges and lessons already learned in the selection of products and systems utilized on the Hillandale Gateway Project. \n5. Understand the benefits of a “Best Value” vs a pure “First Cost” approach to development. \nPresenters: \nShane Pollin – Principal PS Ventures\, LLC \n Brandon Nicholson – Principal NK Passive \n\nREGISTER HERE

We’ll explore what makes Camden Yards one of the top ballparks in the world. \nOriole Park at Camden Yards consistently ranks among the top ballparks in the world\, and has had a profound influence on ballpark design since it opened in 1992. The design broke away from the idea that stadiums should be on the outskirts of cities surrounded by massive parking lots. Instead\, Camden Yards was placed near the heart of Downtown and designed to complement its historic surroundings and incorporates the site of Camden Station with the 1905 B&O Warehouse. Camden Yards ushered in the trend for retro ballpark design and demonstrated that the best stadiums are those that are integrated into the urban fabric of the city. \nJanet Marie Smith is best known in baseball for her work on Oriole Park at Camden Yards\, which set the standard for a new wave of ballparks after its opening in 1992. Smith worked for the Orioles from 1989-94 as vice president of planning and development during the design and construction of the park. She later re-joined the club from 2009-12 to direct renovations and expansion of the Orioles’ spring training facility in Sarasota\, FL.\, and upgrades to Camden Yards.From 2002-2009\, Smith served as senior vice president of planning and development for the Boston Red Sox\, overseeing the preservation and expansion of Fenway Park. Smith was president of Turner Sports and Entertainment Development and vice president of planning and development for the Atlanta Braves from 1994-2000\, when she helped transform the 1996 Olympic Stadium into Turner Field and she oversaw the development of the Philips Arena\, then home to the NBA Hawks and NHL Thrashers. \nOutside of baseball\, Smith has worked on development projects including Battery Park City in New York\, unfulfilled plans for Pershing Square in LA\, redevelopment of former industrial buildings on Baltimore’s waterfront as well as renovation plans for the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena\, CA. \nSmith holds a bachelor of architecture degree from Mississippi State University and a masters’ in urban planning from City College of New York. In 2017\, Smith was the Edward P. Bass Visiting Professor at Yale University School of Architecture. A native of Jackson\, Miss.\, Smith resides in Baltimore with her husband\, Bart Harvey\, and has three children. Smith is currently the Executive Vice President Planning and Development for the Los Angeles Dodgers. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Morgan State University: National Treasure and Model for Preservation
DESCRIPTION:On its five-year anniversary as a designated National Treasure\, we will hear about the University’s stewardship of its historic buildings.\n\n\nIn this Virtual Histories Series\, the Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage host weekly 30-minute lunchtime live presentations on Zoom focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation\, and history. Upon registering\, you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact ndennies@aiabalt.com at least 1-hour prior to the start of the program or cannot guarantee admittance. \nReservations are donation-based. We encourage you to give what you can to support 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. This presentation is also co-hosted by Morgan State University and the Baltimore Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects. \nAbout this Presentation: \nIn May 2016\, the nation’s leading preservation organization\, the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, designated Morgan State University a National Treasure. The designation served to recognize the University’s significance as an HBCU (Historically Black College and University) and as a compelling example of the challenges that colleges across the country face in stewarding their historic buildings while redeveloping their historic campuses. \nFounded in 1867 as one of the nation’s earliest institutions to offer post-secondary education for African Americans and the largest in the state of Maryland\, Morgan State University’s urban campus has an impressive collection of historic buildings. The University’s varied built landscape features 20 contributing structures—ranging from Classical and Italianate to Modern and Brutalist—eligible for listing on the National Register. Buildings on the campus were designed by pioneering and celebrated black architects such as Albert Cassell\, Hilyard Robinson\, Louis Fry\, and Leon Bridges. In addition\, the University is home to one of six HBCU accredited architecture programs and the only one accredited in historic preservation. \nIn its effort towards preserving the rich cultural legacy of HBCUs\, the National Trust joined forces with the University to envision a forward-thinking stewardship strategy for preserving HBCU campuses. The partnership aimed at developing a campus heritage preservation plan for Morgan State University – a critical tool to inform campus master planning – that could be applied at other HBCUs across the country. \nOn its five-year anniversary as a designated National Treasure\, we will hear about the University’s progress to create a preservation roadmap that stewards the many historic buildings on campus\, while planning wisely for the university’s long-term\, sustainable future. \nAbout the Presenter: \nDale Glenwood Green is a descendant of Reverend Samuel Green\, Sr. (a Visionary Founder of Morgan State University)\, Morgan Alumnus (a inaugural student of the Morgan undergraduate architecture program)\, and Professor of Architecture and Lead Faculty for Historic Preservation at Morgan State University School of Architecture and Planning. He has been teaching and leading research on Morgan’s campus heritage since he joined the faculty in 2008. He along with his faculty colleagues and students have collaborated with the University and the National Trust for Historic Preservation on preserving the campus and individually listing the University Memorial Chapel on the National Register of Historic Places. He has been leading the Preservation in Practice summer program with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation\, National Parks Service and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. \nRegister Here
