SUMMARY:Alberto Cavalieri Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Catalyst Contemporary and the Baltimore chapter of the American Institute of Architects partner to present sculpture by Alberto Cavalieri at the Center for Architecture and Design located at One Charles Center. The works on display come from Cavalieri’s series of twisting and elegant “Knots.” In solid cast iron and fabricated\, modular aluminum these knot sculptures take viewers on a journey through the beautiful potential of Cavalieri’s elegant forms and into the context of the much larger-scaled possibilities of architecture. The Center for Architecture and Design exhibit will feature the small-scaled minimalist style pieces. \nJoin Catalyst Contemporary and AIA Baltimore on Thursday\, June 15 6-8:00pm for an opening reception. All are welcome to attend to view and learn more about Alberto Cavalieri’s work. Wine and cheese will be provided. RSVP here.

SUMMARY:Baltimore: A History\, Block by Block
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Baltimore’s Historic Resources Committee to learn more about a documentation project photographing Baltimore neighborhoods. \n  \nJames Singewald is a photographer and archivist currently documenting Baltimore’s architecture and researching its history. Before residing in Baltimore\, he spent ten years photographing neighborhoods and industrial spaces in Philadelphia prior to the city’s rapid redevelopment and gentrification. He received his BFA from The University of the Arts in 2002 and his MFA from Maryland Institute College of Art in 2010. \nThe artist’s photographic practice is focused on Baltimore’s architecture\, informed by years of studying the complicated and multifaceted history of this city. Singewald began mapping\, archiving\, and memorializing Baltimore while a graduate student at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Since 2011\, Singewald’s work has expanded into a larger project entitled\, Baltimore: A History\, Block by Block\, photographing ten main streets in Baltimore and over 100 city blocks to date. \nThrough this project the photographer aims to leave the audience not only with a sense of the condition of our city\, but also a feeling of urgency to see that it is preserved and improved\, and that the rich history behind the architecture and the community is not lost\, but rather embraced. \n1.0 LU AIA approved \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:Baltimore SketchWorks 2023 Workshops
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThese 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.” \nWorkshop 7 – Massing \nDate: Saturday\, July 8\nTime: 10:00am – noon\nLocation: This session will take place at the Mount Royal Station. RSVP for exact meeting details.\nBring: pens\, pencils or watercolors along with sketch and/or watercolor paper \nProfessor Gabriel Kroiz\, of Morgan State University\, will lead the workshop and discuss sketching a building’s overall massing. Participants will meet and sketch at the Mount Royal Station. Please email Eric Jenkins (ericjenkinsarchitect@gmail.com) if you would like to attend or have any questions. Registration is limited to 20 participants. To sign up\, please contact Eric Jenkins (ericjenkinsarchitect@gmail.com). \nBaltimore 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.

SUMMARY:Healing Architecture with Andrea Möhn
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Baltimore’s Health and Wellness Design Committee for a partner program at the University of Maryland. \n3835 Campus Drive\nArchitecture Building (145 ARC)\nCollege Park\, MD 20742 \nAlso viewable on Zoom. \n1.0 LU|HSW approved \nRSVP here. \nThe 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. \nPeople 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. \n \n  \nAndrea 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.

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.” \nWorkshop 11 – “Putting Things in Perspective” \nDate: Saturday\, November 4\nTime: 10:00am – noon\nLocation: Walters Art Museum\, 600 N Charles St.\nBring: sketchpad and pencils \nThis session\, led by Professor and architect Gabriel Kroiz\, is for intermediate experienced sketchers and will discuss the uses of underlying order and geometry of a space to develop a one-point perspective grid as the basis for more detailed drawings. For more information or to register\, please email Eric @ ericjenkinsarchitect@gmail.com \nBaltimore SketchWorks is an evolving\, informal group of Baltimore-based architects and sketchers who celebrate architectural sketching in Charm City.

SUMMARY:Lunch+Learn: Thin Brick for Precast Applications [Baltimore]
DESCRIPTION:DATE: November 09 2023 \nTIME: 12:00pm – 1:00pm \nADDRESS\n600 S Broadway\nBaltimore\, MD 21231\nUnited States \n  \nLunch will be provided. \nOur events are open to architectural\, design\, and building industry professionals only. \nThin Brick for Precast Applications – Design Considerations\nBrick 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. \nThis 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. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nReview physical property and tolerance requirements of ASTM C 1088 for thin brick units.\nCompare recommendations within PCI specifications for thin brick with ASTM C 1088 requirements.\nIdentify characteristics of thin brick faced precast that result in enhanced aesthetics\, resilience\, quality and economy.\nApply design and specification best practices that promote design flexibility and optimal appearance.\n\nQuestions/Comments?\nEmail: events@glengery.com

SUMMARY:Renovation\, Retrofit and Reversibility: Structural Reinforcement at Peabody Library
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nFounding 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. \nContinuing Education: AIA 1.0 LU|HSW approved \nRegister here: Renovation\, Retrofit and Reversibility: Structural Reinforcement at Peabody Library | TicketHive AIA Baltimore members $5; non-members $10

SUMMARY:The Restoration of St. Ignatius Church – Chapel Point
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWith 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. \nIn 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. \nAIA Continuing Education: 1.0 LU|HSW approved \nAbout the presenter: Gage Pepin is a Project Manager at BECS (Building Envelope Consultants & Scientists)\, based in Baltimore\, MD. After gaining his BS and MS degrees in civil engineering from Washington State (Go Cougs!) and Virginia Tech (Go Hokies!)\, respectively\, he worked for several years as a structural design engineer in Seattle\, WA before relocating to Baltimore and entering the building enclosure industry. He has been with BECS for four years and in that time has managed projects ranging from residential roofing and façade renovations\, to structural investigations and repairs\, to historic preservation and restoration.

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.

Baltimore Penn Station – reimagined by Gensler & Quinn Evans alongside Penn Station Partners & Amtrak – is one of those projects. Consisting of a refresh to the historic head house\, a station expansion\, a commercial office development\, and the addition of connective public plazas\, BPS puts an exclamation point on the idea of inclusive and forward-facing design. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS\nAlan Gombera \nAlan is a Zimbabwean born Architect and Studio Director at Gensler Baltimore.
