SUMMARY:AIA Baltimore & BAF Spring Lecture Series: Architecture + Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Baltimore and The Baltimore Architecture Foundation for the 2021 Spring Lecture Series…\n\n\nCover photo: National Slavery Museum at the Lumpkin’s Slave Jail\, image courtesy of SmithGroup \n1.5 AIA LU HSW Available\, ASLA 1.5 LU/HSW \n\n\nArchitecture is a manifestation of culture. On the occasion of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary\, the AIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation 2021 Lecture Series will explore how the built environment simultaneously reflects and influences culture\, in Baltimore and beyond. Each lecture will expose how cultural values shape design. The three lectures are focused around themes with specific local resonance in Baltimore\, a city in which the arts and culture are key to community identity\, history\, and future vitality: Architecture and Identity\, Art and Architecture\, Architecture and Social Justice. Visiting and local speakers will examine and highlight the built environment and its relationship with the arts\, community initiatives\, sustainability goals\, preservation\, equity\, the vernacular\, and more\, as we reflect on how these have been shaped by design practice throughout AIA Baltimore’s 150 year history. \nArchitecture + Social Justice lecturers will speak about designing for social justice in urban and landscape projects.\n \n\nRegister Here\n  \n \nNational Slavery Museum at the Lumpkin’s Slave Jail\, image courtesy of SmithGroup \nDayton Schroeter\, AIA\, SmithGroup\, Design Principal \nDayton Schroeter\, AIA with SmithGroup will address how architecture has the power to uncover buried stories and hidden history. The African American experience is a story of disruption and lost history compounded by the transatlantic slave trade\, colonialism\, imperialism and capitalist globalization. As such African American history has been tragically distorted\, removed and/or hidden from contemporary discussions about race and Black life in America. Architecture can be a redeeming force in reconciling this loss\, reconnecting African Americans with their history and telling a more complete story of American history. \n \nDear Chinatown\, DC\, Image courtesy of The Urban Studio \nMaisie Hughes\, ASLA\, APA\nThe Urban Studio\nCo-Founder + Treasurer\, Urban Planner | Landscape Architect | Certified Arborist \nMasie Hughes will discuss a project that precedes the Urban Studio; co-Founders Maisie Hughes and Kendra Hyson piloted a 10-week environmental education program that taught high school students how to develop design solutions to some of the DC-area’s most pressing stormwater issues. The students were tasked with addressing stormwater and water quality issues in the students’ neighborhoods\, which are located in some of the most polluted watersheds in the city according to DOEE. These brilliant students developed a comprehensive landscape plan that included much-needed community amenities and green infrastructure strategies to capture and clean the stormwater on their perspective sites. The program not only inspired us to launch the Urban Studio\, it inspired us to put values at the center of our work. This presentation will discuss how values centered work can inform and transform how we practice. \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nDayton Schroeter\, AIA\, SmithGroup\, Design Principal \nDayton is a Design Principal who has championed design justice advocacy throughout his career at SmithGroup. As a leader of the firm’s Justice\, Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion Committee\, his charge is to lead design projects that address the systemic injustice that architecture and planning have perpetuated for historically disenfranchised communities of color. Leveraging his tenacious passion for design justice with authenticity and creativity\, he is currently leading antiracism efforts in design projects including an installation called Society’s Cage that sheds national awareness of the intersectional effects of racism on our society’s collective health\, safety and welfare\, as well as Lumpkin’s Slave Jail\, also known as the “Devil’s Half Acre\,” an interpretive museum in Richmond\, Virginia. \nMaisie Hughes\, ASLA\, APA \nThe Urban Studio\, Co-Founder + Treasurer\, Urban Planner | Landscape Architect | Certified Arborist \nMaisie brings decades of leadership and management to her practice. As a 2018-2019 Leadership and Innovation Fellow with the Landscape Architecture Foundation\, she brings honest and unvarnished insights to provide a framework for people-centered design. Maisie won the National Capital Area Chapter of the American Planning Association 2016 Fredrick Gutheim Award for Distinguished Leadership by a Professional Planner and the 2014 Award of Merrit for the “Citizen Advocate Handbook”. Maisie is an ISA Certified Arborist\, with an Executive Certificate in Nonprofit Management from Georgetown University\, a Master of Landscape Architecture degree from Morgan State University\, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Afro-American studies from Howard University. \nThank You To Our Generous Sponsors!\nMajor Sponsor \n\n\n \n \n \n \n  \nSupporting Sponsor\n\n  \n \n  \n                                               \n \n \n \n \n \nCapitol Sponsor \nShaw \nCorinthian Sponsor \nGWWO Architects \nJames Posey Associates \nMueller Associates \nMurphy Dittenhafer Architects \nMohawk Group \nNorthpoint Builders \nPotomac Valley Brick & Supply \nSite Resources \nSTV Inc. \nIonic Sponsor \nAPA Maryland \nAmerican Cedar & Millwork \nAmes & Gough \nBudova Engineering \nCianbro \nCraig Gaulden Davis Architects \nDoubleEdge Design \nHope Furrer Associates \nMorabito Consultants \nMoseley Architects \nPella Mid-Atlantic \nPlano Coudon \nQuinn Evans \nSouthway Builders \nSuzanne Frasier\, FAIA \nT3XTURE \nZiger|Snead \n\n\n  \n \nThis project was made possible by a grant from Maryland Humanities\, with funding received from the Maryland Historical Trust in the Maryland Department of Planning.

SUMMARY:Patterson Park - The Jewel of Baltimore's Eastside
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will cover the park’s history and the Olmsted vision for the site.\n\n\nIn this Virtual Histories Series\, the Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage host weekly 30-minute lunchtime presentations on Zoom focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation\, and history. Attendees have the opportunity to ask questions of the presenter(s). 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 admittance cannot be guaranteed. \nThis presentation is also co-hosted by the Maryland Chapter of American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA)\, the Friends of Patterson Park\, and the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes (FMOPL) as part of Olmsted 200 celebration of the Bicentennial of Frederick Law Olmsted Sr’s birth. Reservations are donation-based. Please give what you can to support BAF\, Baltimore Heritage\, and FMOPL. Your support helps ALL three non-profit organizations make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create future programs of interest. \nPatterson Park is an urban oasis – a beloved green space surrounded by brick rowhouses\, diverse cultures and neighborhoods. Generations of Baltimoreans have picnicked under its tall tulip poplars\, strolled the deeply curved paths and enjoyed the rich architectural design of this 137-acre East Baltimore park. \nThis presentation will touch on the park’s history\, from its earliest beginnings as a 6-acre “Public Walk” donated to the city by William Patterson in April 1827\, to its growth and development under the guiding hands of George A. Frederick\, designer of City Hall\, who served as Park Architect from 1863 to 1895\, and of Charles H. Latrobe\, who served as Engineer and General Superintendent of Parks from 1884 to 1902. Both were responsible for such impressive structures as the iconic Patterson Park Pagoda\, a 60-foot tall Observatory built at top Hampstead Hill for its incredible views of the harbor and the city. \nIn 1904\, the Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architects were hired to prepare a plan for the Eastern extension of the park. Their 1904 “Report Upon the Development of Public Grounds for Greater Baltimore” had urged for an expansion of the park to “offer the working people of East Baltimore a conveniently accessible body of refreshing scenery\, retired to a great degree from the turmoil of the city.” The firm\, founded by Frederick Law Olmsted\, designer of Central Park\, and continued by his sons\, Frederick Law Olmsted\, Jr. and John Charles\, were the leading park architects of the day and continued to enhance the park’s design through 1915. \nIn Patterson Park\, one can see the two sides of the Olmsted vision: the pastoral vistas and sweeping hills championed by the senior Olmsted and carried on by his sons\, as well as the recognition by the younger Olmsteds of the features required by the active recreation movement of the period. The role of Patterson Park in creating social cohesiveness and quality of life is still paramount\, nearly two centuries from its humble beginnings. This presentation will feature fascinating insights and rich historical imagery of this Jewel of Baltimore’s Eastside. \nPresenter \nTim Almaguer has been hiking through\, learning from and working with urban parks for over 20 years\, first with the Friends of Patterson Park for over 10 years and now as the Chief of Community Engagement and Strategic Partnership at Baltimore City Recreation and Parks. Tim received a Master degree in Recreation and Parks Management from Frostburg State University and wrote “Baltimore’s Patterson Park” in 2006\, published by Arcadia Publishing.

SUMMARY:An Ecology of Equity (Morgan SA+P)
DESCRIPTION:The built environment reveals how architecture and its respective commissioned process embodies spatialized psychologies (mental perceptions and behaviour) towards the authorship of human value. All too often to the detriment of reinforcing and architecting perceptions of supremacy\, inequity\, and dehumanization. \nTransdisciplinary applications steeped in this understanding will invoke the necessary pedagogy and methodologies to interrogate/dismantle/abolish existing paradigms while co- actualizing representations of a spatialized ecology of equity. \nApril De Simone’s lecture will be followed by a panel discussion with: \n\nThijs van Spaandonk\, Dean of Urban Design\, Rotterdam Academy of Architecture and Urban Design (RAvB)\nDr. Roberto Rocco\, spatial planner and researcher at the Section of Spatial Planning and Strategy of the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)\n\nTIME & REGISTRATION\n3:30pm EDT Maryland time\, which is 21.30 CET Netherlands time. The lecture is approximately 1 hr\, followed by 30 min panel discussion and audience Q&A. \nOpen to the public. \nAdmission is free but we invite people to register using the ‘Donation Ticket’ and pay whatever you can afford\, for example $3 (€3)\, $5\, $10\, or $30. Donations go to the speaker and her organization ‘designing the WE’ to support the powerful work they do to bring positive systematic changes to the urban landscape! \nAdvance registration required. \nThe webinar will be conducted in English language. \nAbout the speaker: \nApril De Simone is a transdisciplinary design practitioner focused on the intersectionality of systems thinking human condition and design to advance equitable strategies within the built environment. Ms. De Simone explores how dominant mental models and perceptions centered on hierarchical value systems inform design outputs that perpetuate unsustainable and inequitable systemic conditions. In 2015 she co-founded designing the WE. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Materials passports for the built environment (Morgan State/Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee)
DESCRIPTION:Madaster considers the earth as a closed system where there should not be any waste. Raw materials are limited editions and scarce. Through registration and documentation of products and materials used in the built environment\, they can be reused in a circular economy and waste can be eliminated. Marijn Emanuel will discuss: \n\nCircular building strategies and case study\nMaterials passports\nInitiatives for (inter)national guidelines and standards\nThe Madaster platform\n\nTIME & REGISTRATION\n1pm ET Maryland time\, which is 19.00 CET Netherlands time. The lecture is approximately 1 hr\, followed by 20 min panel discussion with Q&A. \nOpen to the public. Admission is free. Donations are optional; proceeds will be used for architecture education programs. \nREGISTER HERE \nAUDIENCE\nThe lecture is geared towards architects\, developers\, construction companies\, engineers\, building deconstruction companies\, and students. \nAbout the speaker\nMarijn Emanuel is one of the six founders of Madaster\, the register for materials of the built environment. Before founding and working for Madaster\, he has been an architect at the office of RAU architects in Amsterdam\, where is he still active. Currently\, he is working on the content of this platform on a daily basis. \nRecent article by Emanuel: Mind over Matter \nAbout Madaster\nThe Madaster platform was established in 2017 and went live immediately with one goal: to eliminate waste in the construction sector. The philosophy is clear. A management system that gives materials a future is desperately needed. There is a need for more insight and cooperation in order to clarify the environmental impact of materials. Risks must be reduced and business cases must be worked on to increase the value of used materials. And that starts with a first step: establishing who owns which materials. Waste is material without identity. It is time to exchange the linear economy for a circular one. Because only a circular system can eliminate waste. Moreover\, material with identity always retains its value. Madaster is neutral and independent\, but above all easy to use. The target group that can use it is quite broad: From property owners\, design teams\, app developers\, facility companies to the general public. It is available 24/7. \nVideo about Madaster platform \nAbout this lecture series\nThis lecture is one of a series of lectures in 2021 organized by Cristina Murphy\, Assistant Professor at Morgan State University School of Architecture + Planning (MSU SA+P)\, with assistance from Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee (BRSCC). The lecture series includes speakers from the U.S.A. about Baltimore’s cityscape and urban design\, and speakers from the Netherlands about innovative construction materials and circular design systems such as reuse\, remanufacturing\, and recycling in the built environment. Special thanks to Jeremiah Ekoja\, Graduate Assistant at MSU SA+P\, for his help with coordinating the lecture series. \nSee other lectures in this series

SUMMARY:2021 AIA Baltimore & BAF Spring Lecture Series: Signal Station North: On Light and Visibility in Baltimore City
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Baltimore & The Baltimore Architecture Foundation for a Lunchtime Lecture.\n\n\nPhotograph Courtesy of Merrell Hambleton \nArchitecture is a manifestation of culture. On the occasion of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary\, the AIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation 2021 Lecture Series will explore how the built environment simultaneously reflects and influences culture\, in Baltimore and beyond. Each lecture will expose how cultural values shape design. The three lectures are focused around themes with specific local resonance in Baltimore\, a city in which the arts and culture are key to community identity\, history\, and future vitality: Architecture and Identity\, Art and Architecture\, Architecture and Social Justice. Visiting and local speakers will examine and highlight the built environment and its relationship with the arts\, community initiatives\, sustainability goals\, preservation\, equity\, the vernacular\, and more\, as we reflect on how these have been shaped by design practice throughout AIA Baltimore’s 150 year history. \n \nPhotograph Courtesy of Neightborhood Design Center \nThe infrastructure of public lighting in Baltimore City is often overlooked\, and yet our street lamps\, porch lights\, illuminated windows and park lights animate the nighttime environment. For the past year and half\, Signal Station North\, a project of the Neighborhood Design Center\, has sought to understand the nightscape of the Station North Arts District through analysis\, observation\, activation and conversation. We’ve learned that light can be warm and welcoming\, but also aggressive; that it can invite us in or keep us out; and that at its best it can make us feel safe\, secure\, and at home. Through a history of light in Baltimore and insights from the Signal analysis\, research\, and engagement process\, this talk will explore how light impacts our neighborhoods—and how neighbors can impact light in their places.  Learn More About Signal Station Here \nRegister Here\n  \nAbout The Presenter \n \nMerrell Hambleton leads Signal Station North\, an NEA-funded project to plan for\, invest in\, and improve access to high-quality lighting in the public realm. As Program Manager for the Neighborhood Design Center\, Merrell supports implementation and design-build services\, including a forthcoming Designer-in-Residence program that will activate key green spaces in East Baltimore neighborhoods. Prior to her work with NDC\, Merrell produced pathbreaking public art projects with NY-based nonprofit Creative Time and artist Stephen Powers. She has a dual MA in Social Design and Critical Studies from MICA and BA in History from Columbia University. \n\n\nThank You To Our Generous Sponsors!\nMajor Sponsor  \nAyers Saint Gross \nHord Coplan Macht \nMaryland ASLA  \nWilldan \nSupporting Sponsor \nOak Contracting \nDesign Collective \nGensler \ninPLACE Design \nJMT Architecture \nMerritt Construction \nPrice Modern \nTW Perry \nVision Technologies \nWhiting-Turner  \nWohlsen \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCapitol Sponsor \nShaw \nCorinthian Sponsor \nGWWO Architects \nJames Posey Associates \nMurphy Dittenhafer Architects \nMohawk Group \nNorthpoint Builders \nPotomac Valley Brick & Supply \nSite Resources \nMueller Associates \nIonic Sponsor \nHope Furrer Associates \nCraig Gaulden Davis Architects \nAPA Maryland  \nAmerican Cedar & Millwork \nAmes & Gough \nBudova Engineering  \nDoubleEdge Design \nMorabito Consultants \nMoseley Architects \nPlano Coudon \nQuinn Evans \nSouthway Builders \nSuzane Frasier\, FAIA \nT3XTURE \nZiger|Snead \n\n\n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from Maryland Humanities\, with funding received from the Maryland Historical Trust in the Maryland Department of Planning.

If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance. \nVirtual Histories are back in 2021! The 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 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 the AIA Baltimore EQUITY Committee and the Maryland Chapter of ASLA. \nAs part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Baltimore Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA)\, we are hosting conversations with trailblazing architects who have impacted Baltimore’s built environment and rose to leadership positions in their profession. April 2nd’s Virtual History will feature Barbara Wilks\, FAIA\, FASLA\, one of the few professionals elected to both the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects (in 1999) and to the College of Fellows of the American Society of Landscape Architects (in 2010)\, the highest honor in those professions. During her residence in Baltimore\, she rose to become the first woman president of the AIA Baltimore Chapter\, serving for two years from 1983-1984. \nAbout Our Presenter \nBarbara Wilks\, FAIA\, FASLA\, is a leader in design and interdisciplinary thinking\, with over 40 years of experience in urban design\, public\, and institutional projects. After graduating from Cornell University\, she settled in Baltimore\, attracted by the city’s efforts at renewal in the mid-seventies. In 1974\, she founded Cho/Wilks Architects with Diane Cho and directed such noteworthy projects as Canton Cove\, Brown’s Arcade\, the Eubie Blake Jazz Museum\, Goucher’s Dance Studio\, and the Light Rail Stations\, among many others. \nAfter receiving a Masters of Landscape Architecture from University of Pennsylvania in 1993\, she founded W Architecture and Landscape Architecture\, a design-oriented\, multidisciplinary practice in New York in 1999. Her projects range from urban public spaces\, infrastructure\, architecture\, to parks\, with her goal being to use design to create access and a means of participation — a public route to discovery\, engagement and stewardship. Her award-winning public waterfronts can be found in Baltimore (Tide Point)\, Calgary\, Tampa\, St. Petersburg\, Buffalo\, and New York. https://w-architecture.com \nShe will discuss the development of her early waterfront work in Baltimore’s harbor and how that grew into her focus today\, addressing places where city and nature come together and form new relationships\, and how well-designed places can result in more sustainable relationships between ourselves\, our communities\, and the earth. \nIntroducing Barbara Wilks is Jillian Storms\, AIA\, who once worked with Barbara for over a decade at Cho Wilks & Benn Architects (now Quinn Evans Architects). She more recently led the Early Women of Architecture in Maryland project\, culminating in a traveling exhibit and extensive programming for which she received BAF’s Roger Redden Award and Preservation Maryland’s Volunteer Award. She currently serves as co-chair of BAF’s research committee\, the Dead Architects Society\, and continues to highlight the stories of women’s achievements in the design profession. \nRegister Here

Speakers will discuss globally renowned cultural projects and museums\, and local art and culture in Baltimore. \n\nRegister Here \n\nBenjamin Gilmartin\, AIA of Diller Scofidio + Renfro\, will discuss how the studio’s significant cultural projects were acts of conservation\, adaptation\, and radical rethinking for contemporary use.  With the transformation of the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts campus and the recent MoMA expansion\, DS+R sought to preserve the original DNA of two of New York’s most iconic modernist projects\, while opening up and democratizing these traditional citadels of “high art.” The recently completed US Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs remediates an industrial brownfield area at the edge of the city center\, to both revitalize the downtown core and build one of the most universally accessible museums in the nation. \n \nCara Ober\, Founding Editor and Publisher of BmoreArt will address artist and museum culture and the way they intersect and collide\, assessing how this impacts art communities and establishes hierarchies of value. \nAbout the Presenters \nBenjamin Gilmartin \nBenjamin Gilmartin joined Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) in 2004 and became a partner in 2015. Ben led the redesign of Alice Tully Hall\, multiple public spaces within the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts campus\, and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive at the University of California\, Berkeley. Most recently\, Ben completed the United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs\, hailed as one of the most accessible museums in the country. He is currently leading multiple projects in London\, including a 5 kilometer-long public space network at Greenwich Peninsula. In addition to completing DS+R’s first building in Australia at the University of Sydney\, Ben is also currently co-leading the design of a facility for MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning in Cambridge and a major tech headquarters in the Pacific Northwest. \nCara Ober  \nCara Ober is an artist\, arts writer\, curator\, and the founding editor and publisher at BmoreArt\, Baltimore’s art and culture magazine. She writes regularly about artist\, museum\, and material culture\, with emphasis on context and subtext in the art world. \nIn 2019\, she was awarded a Rabkin Art Writers Grant and was commissioned by the Warhol Foundation to write “Artspeak and Audience” for Common Field’s Field Perspectives Series. In addition to her regular writing and editing for BmoreArt\, Ober has published articles in Vulture: New York Magazine\, Hyperallergic\, Burnaway\, Art Papers\, ARTnews\, and The Baltimore Sun. Cara has taught classes and lectured at MICA\, Johns Hopkins\, American University\, UMBC\, and Goucher College. \nShe holds an MFA in painting from MICA and a degree in fine arts from American University. Over the past decade\, Ober’s critical reviews\, essays\, and interviews have explored the political and economic impact of the arts in Baltimore and the way artists maintain a professional practice and thrive in a city full of rich and diverse cultural traditions as well as serious social issues. \n  \nThank You To Our Generous Sponsors!\nMajor Sponsor\n\n \n \n \n \n  \nSupporting Sponsor\n\n  \n \n  \n                                               \n \n \n \n \n \nCapitol Sponsor \nShaw \nCorinthian Sponsor \nGWWO Architects \nJames Posey Associates \nMueller Associates \nMurphy Dittenhafer Architects \nMohawk Group \nNorthpoint Builders \nPotomac Valley Brick & Supply \nSite Resources \nSTV Inc. \nIonic Sponsor \nAPA Maryland \nAmerican Cedar & Millwork \nAmes & Gough \nBudova Engineering \nCianbro \nCraig Gaulden Davis Architects \nDoubleEdge Design \nHope Furrer Associates \nMorabito Consultants \nMoseley Architects \nPella Mid-Atlantic \nPlano Coudon \nQuinn Evans \nSouthway Builders \nSuzanne Frasier\, FAIA \nT3XTURE \nZiger|Snead \n\n\n\n\n \nThis project was made possible by a grant from Maryland Humanities\, with funding received from the Maryland Historical Trust in the Maryland Department of Planning.

She firmly believes that architects should challenge themselves to play a key role in improving and supporting Baltimore’s underserved neighborhoods. Guiding communities to invest in themselves and the next generation through ownership. Raising awareness of what a community can become through revitalization\, not gentrification. Helping residents discover “pride of place” in where they identified as home. It’s critical to the survival of these communities and our city. \nAbout Our Presenter \nKathleen founded her firm of SP Arch Inc. in 2005 with former partner Mahendra Parekh (who retired in 2008).

SUMMARY:Good Design = Good Health: AIA Baltimore Health & Wellness Annual Showcase
DESCRIPTION:This event has been moved to September 1\, 2021 and is now tentatively planned as an in-person event. More information to follow… \nJoin the AIA Baltimore Health & Wellness Committee in the 6th Annual Design Showcase- Good Design=Good Health. \nDate: September 1\, 2021\nTime: 5:00-6:00 PM \n\n\n\nProject Submission Deadline: August 19 \nThe AIA Baltimore Health & Wellness Committee will be hosting its 6th Annual Design Showcase- Good Design=Good Health on Wednesday\, March 24th\, 2020 from 5-6PM. This exhibition is intended to be a fun way for architects\, engineers\, urban planners\, interior designers\, contractors\, and others to show the local community how they have been creating healthy spaces. The goal of this exhibition is to showcase designs that promote health and wellness in a variety of ways. \nThe theme of the showcase\, Good Design=Good Health\, paints a broad stroke of healthy design. Cities and communities that foster healthy living\, mental well-being and social connectedness don’t just happen. It takes forward thinking and innovative designers to create spaces that elevate a community’s way of life. For our showcase\, we are encouraging architects\, engineers\, general contractors\, landscape architects\, urban planners\, and artists to submit projects and designs that broadly speak to community health. From the urban planner who designed new bike lane routes throughout the city\, to the landscape architect’s healing garden for children\, to the contractors bringing the adaptive reuse vision to life\, to the architect’s design of community schools bringing to life one’s vision of academics and healthcare access coming together under one roof- everyone brings their own idea of a healthy environment and how to create it. \nWhat you can look forward to: The AIA Baltimore Health & Wellness Committee is interested in bringing members of the design community together with a BRAND-NEW forum to showcase their designs with peers\, while also being afforded the opportunity to observe the creative work of others. On this night we will come together to celebrate our successes\, share best practices\, strategize solutions\, and discuss adaptation. To ensure our committee and community members maintain their health\, this year’s event will be held virtually. Break out groups will be created\, with 5 submissions in each\, coupled based on a common underlying theme. This will allow for more intimate conversation and a deeper dive into each project. \nCost \nPresenters: $25 for AIA Baltimore and MD ASLA members; $45 for non-members. \nAttendees (those not presenting): FREE for AIA Baltimore and MD ASLA members; $20 for non-members. \nSubmissions: We are seeking submissions from the design community for projects that speak to the idea of a healthy city or a healthy environment. The promotion of good health comes in so many shapes and sizes; we want to celebrate them all! \nEligibility: Projects must have been designed or constructed within the past 3 years (2018-2020). Projects may be of any size or value. \nFormat: Slides (in PDF format)\, maximum of 4. Slides are due to AIA Baltimore by August 19th. Firms may make multiple submissions\, if interested\, but will need 1 presenter for each project to accommodate this year’s virtual format. \nAfter purchasing your presenter ticket please: Click Here To Access Your Project Submission Form! \nQuestions? \nContact Kathleen Lane\, Executive Director at klane@aiabalt.com \n  \nRegister Here\n  \n\nBecome A Sponsor For This Event! \nSponsoring the showcase is a great way to bring exposure to your company at an event promoting the best in healthy design. \nMajor Sponsor ($500)\nCompany logo listed on the AIA Baltimore event page\, newsletter promotion\, and logo recognition in the virtual Showcase presentation.

SUMMARY:Not Nontraditional: Women In The Building Trades (Preservation Maryland)
DESCRIPTION:According to the Department of Labor\, construction is a “nontraditional” career field for women because they account for fewer than 25% of the registered workforce. The term “nontraditional”\, however\, implies that women did not and do not traditionally participate in construction work. This is inaccurate. This misconception erases women’s contribution to historic structures and disservices present-day women working in building trades. This webinar will delve into women’s roles in construction\, historically and today. \n  \nSpeakers: \n\nShelley E. Roff\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor\, College of Architecture\, Construction and Planning\, University of Texas at San Antonio\nLisa Sasser\, Principal\, Quid Tum Historic Structures Consulting\nAmy McCauley\, Preservation Joiner\, George Washington’s Mount Vernon\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Using MEP Systems to Reduce Transmission Rates
DESCRIPTION:Join BEC-Baltimore & AIA Baltimore in discussing how MEP systems can help mitigate the spread of airborne pathogens.\n\n\nOver the past twelve months\, practitioners in design and construction fields have grappled with the realities of a global pandemic and its far-reaching impacts on our indoor environments. Acknowledging that COVID-19 is primarily spread as an airborne virus\, this discussion will review how MEP design can help mitigate those risks. We provide a base understanding of how viruses including COVID-19 are transmitted and review actionable items for reopening and long term strategies for pathogen control. \nWe will focus the discussion to assist participants in: \n\nUnderstanding the three primary transmission methods of COVID-19 & typical preventative measures\n\n\nUnderstanding infectious dose & viral load\n\n\nUnderstanding short term HVAC approaches to reduce transmission (including ventilation & filtration)\n\n\nUnderstanding long term solutions for pathogen control including air sanitization\n\n\nUnderstand other MEP design contributors to pathogen control\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\nSpeaker: \n David Van der Vossen \nAs Senior Vice President\, David Van der Vossen brings a vast array of design experience to his projects. During his tenure with the company\, Dave’s role has evolved – from his entry level position as a drafter in 1993 to his current SVP role where he is responsible for overseeing company operations. In his corporate role\, Dave works closely with Zack to assist with corporate business functions and with individual office leadership to ensure implementation of quality control measures\, client service\, profitability and team training. His business and broad engineering background brings a unique skill set to the company\, and he upholds the firm’s commitment to community engagement through not only providing direct design support to many local non-profits\, but also by actively participating in local organizations such as the Greater Salisbury Committee\, Salisbury Environmental Task Force\, Boy Scouts of America and ACE Mentoring. Most recently\, Dave oversaw the firm’s COVID-19 research\, education and response\, providing free seminars to over 60 groups and 800 individuals on aerosol transmission of COVID-19 and how to reduce it using HVAC systems. He is currently focused on opening the firm’s newest office location in Wilmington\, NC.

SUMMARY:Applying circular economy principles to the built environment (Morgan State/Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee)
DESCRIPTION:The general concepts of the circular economy are widely agreed upon: material reuse and refurbishment leading to zero waste and lower environmental degradation\, but what does that mean for buildings and campuses\, architects and developers? This talk will walk through the practical applications of circular economy principles in the built environment – at every level from design to deconstruction and at every scale from building to region/nation. We will cover topics from urban mining to circular building design and circularity in neighborhood development. \nRelated article from Metabolic: Urban Mining and Circular Construction \nTIME & REGISTRATION\n1pm ET Maryland time\, which is 19.00 CET Netherlands time. The lecture is approximately 1 hr\, followed by 20 min panel discussion with Q&A. \nOpen to the public. Admission is free. Donations are optional; proceeds will be used for architecture education programs. \nREGISTER HERE \nAUDIENCE\nThe lecture is geared towards architects\, developers\, construction companies\, engineers\, building deconstruction companies\, and students. \nAbout the speakers\nNico Schouten works as a Green Building Consultant at Metabolic where he helps governments\, architects and developers make their projects more sustainable. Here he focuses on the building phase (weighing different types of embodied impacts and the impact of design interventions) as well as the use phase and how to create incentives for the users of the building to behave more sustainably. While studying Architecture at TU Delft\, Nico became interested in using architecture to make a more sustainable world. This led him to further research the concept of systems thinking and implementing circular strategies in his designs. After his graduation Nico worked at the AMS Institute as an in-house designer for the transformation of their office\, where he helped design a circular meeting space. He also worked at the Centre for Sustainability of the LDE alliance where he was a program manager for research projects on inclusive circular design in metropolitan areas. \nAndrew McCue is Sustainability Consultant at Metabolic. He has been involved in food and food systems for many years. Aiming to bring quality\, varied\, and sustainable food to larger populations\, he pursued work on sustainable agriculture with both soil-based and hydroponic farms. Towards the end of this period Andrew worked as a key account manager helping nascent hydroponic farms to build their businesses. Frustrated with the scale of environmental and social issues he saw in the food system\, Andrew took to the teachings of Donella Meadows and began to pursue systems thinking as a way to understand the roadblocks continually encountered in the industry. From this perspective\, it became clear that redesigning the relationship between urban regions and the food they consume was going to be key in unlocking the change needed to build a sustainable and just food system. The reputation of the Netherlands as a hub of sustainable cities and high tech agriculture\, drew Andrew to Amsterdam where he joined Metabolic as a sustainability consultant and business developer for projects in Agrifood and Circular Cities. Andrew is passionate about food and cities\, and even more so about making the connections needed to build a fundamentally sustainable\, just\, and enjoyable future. \nAbout Metabolic\nMetabolic is a consulting\, research\, and venture building firm focused on tackling global sustainability challenges and advancing a circular economy. We advise governments\, businesses\, and NGOs on how to adapt to a fast-changing global context\, while creating disruptive solutions that can dramatically shift how the economy functions. Combining systems thinking and data science\, we map and understand local and global systems to assess where to intervene for the biggest impact. \nHeadquartered in Amsterdam\, Metabolic has three core areas of operation. Our consulting arm has developed systems analyses and circular economy strategies for numerous global clients\, including WWF\, Danone\, Duracell\, and Akzo Nobel\, and city governments such as Amsterdam\, Rotterdam\, Charlotte. Our non-profit think tank works at the intersection of academic research and real-world experimentation\, advancing open-source knowledge on global sustainability issues\,\, and our venture building arm has launched spin-offs focused on the renewable energy transition\, green chemistry\, and sustainable urban development in underserved communities. \nAbout this lecture series\nThis lecture is one of a series of lectures in 2021 organized by Cristina Murphy\, Assistant Professor at Morgan State University School of Architecture + Planning (MSU SA+P)\, with assistance from Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee (BRSCC). The lecture series includes speakers from the U.S.A. about Baltimore’s cityscape and urban design\, and speakers from the Netherlands about innovative construction materials and circular design systems such as reuse\, remanufacturing\, and recycling in the built environment. Special thanks to Jeremiah Ekoja\, Graduate Assistant at MSU SA+P\, for his help with coordinating the lecture series. \nSee other lectures in this series

SUMMARY:2021 AIA Baltimore & BAF Spring Lecture Series: Money & Hose
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Baltimore & The Baltimore Architecture Foundation for a Lunchtime Lecture.\n\n\nPhotograph Courtesy of Phaan Howng \nArchitecture is a manifestation of culture. On the occasion of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary\, the AIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation 2021 Lecture Series will explore how the built environment simultaneously reflects and influences culture\, in Baltimore and beyond. Each lecture will expose how cultural values shape design. The three lectures are focused around themes with specific local resonance in Baltimore\, a city in which the arts and culture are key to community identity\, history\, and future vitality: Architecture and Identity\, Art and Architecture\, Architecture and Social Justice. Visiting and local speakers will examine and highlight the built environment and its relationship with the arts\, community initiatives\, sustainability goals\, preservation\, equity\, the vernacular\, and more\, as we reflect on how these have been shaped by design practice throughout AIA Baltimore’s 150 year history. \nPhaan Howng is a Baltimore-based multidisciplinary artist focused on exploring the production of landscape through large-scale landscape painting\, sculptures\, installations\, and performance. Guided by philosophical\, anthropological\, and socio-political thinking\, Howng’s immersive environments are a response to the toxic extractive practices of global capitalism that hinder environmentally and socially just landscapes. Her work attempts to deconstruct man’s presumed power over nature by focusing on the geopolitics of displaced plant-life and questioning the labor and management that result from processing nature as product. Howng will provide an overview of her work and present on her latest exhibition\, A Bag Of Rocks For A Bag Of Rice\, urging us to rethink how gardening and landscaping practices can mobilize the development of more environmentally thoughtful and sustainable futures. \n\nRegister Here\n  \nAbout The Presenter \nPhaan Howng is a Baltimore-based multidisciplinary artist focused on exploring the production of landscape through large-scale landscape painting\, sculptures\, installations\, and performance.

SUMMARY:2021 AIA Baltimore & BAF Spring Lecture Series: Architecture\, Identity\, & Place
DESCRIPTION:Cover Photo: New Beginnings Homeless Transition Village Fayetteville\, UACDC \n1.5 AIA LU\,  1.5 LA/CES LU Available \nArchitecture is a manifestation of culture. On the occasion of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary\, the AIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation 2021 Lecture Series will explore how the built environment simultaneously reflects and influences culture\, in Baltimore and beyond. Each lecture will expose how cultural values shape design. The three lectures are focused around themes with specific local resonance in Baltimore\, a city in which the arts and culture are key to community identity\, history\, and future vitality: Architecture and Identity\, Art and Architecture\, Architecture and Social Justice. Visiting and local speakers will examine and highlight the built environment and its relationship with the arts\, community initiatives\, sustainability goals\, preservation\, equity\, the vernacular\, and more\, as we reflect on how these have been shaped by design practice throughout AIA Baltimore’s 150-year history. \nOur first lecture will explore the overall theme and how architecture and the built environment are directly influenced by cultural values. It will examine this through the lens of community-based design initiatives nationally and projects specific to Baltimore. \nWatch Full Lecture On Youtube \nStephen Luoni\, Associate AIA\, Director of University of Arkansas Community Design Center will address public-interest design and its role in producing public goods\, the very definition of what it means to be a professional. Placemaking platforms in housing and food will be discussed through urban design projects underway. \nArchitects are asked with greater frequency to solve for complex public-interest problems\, or “wicked problems” with multi-variate challenges characterized by social complexity. The University of Arkansas Community Design\, a teaching office with professional staff\, has developed building blocks for a new ecology of the city. A repertoire of eight placemaking platforms triangulates public policy\, best practices\, and design in agricultural urbanism\, missing middle-scale housing\, context-sensitive street design\, development-oriented transit\, watershed urbanism\, and low impact development. Our focus on expansive problem-solving through new design tools and pattern languages address the public good in addressing the grand challenges that enlarge the design professions. \n \nGreenmount West Bright Lane: Community Design Workshop \nBecky Slogeris\, Associate Director at the Center for Social Design at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) will present Made You Look: Design as if People Mattered. \nThe Center for Social Design at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) is dedicated to demonstrating and promoting the value of design in advancing equity and social justice\, and to inspiring and preparing the next generation of creative changemakers. In July 2018\, a team of students and staff at the Center launched Made You Look\, an ongoing initiative to create a safer Baltimore for pedestrians and bicyclists. In collaboration with community stakeholders and the support of Maryland Department of Transportation\, Made You Look aims to make Baltimore a safer place for pedestrians and bicyclists by increasing visibility on two levels: (1) raising the visibility of individuals walking or biking in the city and (2) making local safety concerns visible to policymakers. \nAbout the Presenters \nStephen Luoni \nStephen Luoni is Director of the University of Arkansas Community Design Center (UACDC) where he is the Steven L. Anderson Chair in Architecture and Urban Studies and a Distinguished Professor of Architecture. UACDC is one of a few university-based teaching offices in the United States dedicated to delivering urban design work. His work at UACDC specializes in interdisciplinary public-interest design combining ecological\, urban\, and architectural design. UACDC has developed several place-making platforms to shape civic design and public policy\, including work in missing middle housing\, agricultural urbanism\, transit-oriented development\, context-sensitive street design\, watershed urbanism\, and low impact development. \nUnder his direction since 2003\, UACDC’s work has won more than 175 awards for urban design\, research\, and education\, including Progressive Architecture Awards\, American Institute of Architects Honors Awards for Regional and Urban Design\, Charter Awards from the Congress for the New Urbanism\, American Society of Landscape Architecture Awards\, Environmental Design Research Association Awards\, American Architecture Awards\, and the international LafargeHolcim Awards. \nLuoni directed production of the center’s books: Houses for Aging Socially\, Conway Urban Watershed Framework Plan\, and Low Impact Development: a design manual for urban areas—which has been translated into Chinese. His work has been published in Architectural Record\, Landscape Architecture\, Progressive Architecture\, Architect\, Places\, and in international journals. He was appointed a 2012 United States Artists Ford Fellow. Luoni has a BS in Architecture from Ohio State University and a Master of Architecture from Yale University. \nBecky Slogeris \nBecky Slogeris is Associate Director at the Center for Social Design at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA)\, where she brings MICA students together with outside partners to advance equity and social justice through design. Her work touches many of the most pressing challenges in Baltimore – from hearing healthcare for older adults to underage drinking prevention\, reproductive justice for women to smoke free homes\, HIV stigma to pedestrian and bicyclist safety. She is a graduate of MICA with a BFA in graphic design and an MA in Social Design. \nQuinton Batts & Vilde Ulset are Associates at MICA’s Center for Social Design and graduates of the MA in Social Design program. As leads of the Center’s Made You Look initiative in collaboration with the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) Highway Safety Office\, they work to equip communities with the tools needed to create safer places for pedestrians and bicyclists. \n  \nThank You To Our Generous Sponsors!\n\n\n\nMajor Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n  \nSupporting Sponsor\n\n  \n \n  \n                                               \n \n \n \n \n \nCapitol Sponsor \nShaw \nCorinthian Sponsor \nGWWO Architects \nJames Posey Associates \nMueller Associates \nMurphy Dittenhafer Architects \nMohawk Group \nNorthpoint Builders \nPotomac Valley Brick & Supply \nSite Resources \nSTV Inc. \nIonic Sponsor \nAPA Maryland \nAmerican Cedar & Millwork \nAmes & Gough \nBudova Engineering \nCianbro \nCraig Gaulden Davis Architects \nDoubleEdge Design \nHope Furrer Associates \nMorabito Consultants \nMoseley Architects \nPella Mid-Atlantic \nPlano Coudon \nQuinn Evans \nSouthway Builders \nSuzanne Frasier\, FAIA \nT3XTURE \nZiger|Snead \n\n\n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from Maryland Humanities\, with funding received from the Maryland Historical Trust in the Maryland Department of Planning.

SUMMARY:A vessel for change: Floating Office Rotterdam (Morgan State/Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee)
DESCRIPTION:Moored at Rijnhaven port in Rotterdam\, the Floating Office Rotterdam (FOR) for the Global Center on Adaptation is a building for a new age. Built in timber\, it’s off grid and carbon-neutral\, it will float – rather than flood – if water levels rise due to climate change. Fun as well as functional\, it also forms a key element in a newly redeveloped port environment by providing public waterside space – and even a swimming pool. Powerhouse Company designed the floating office to reflect the values of its inhabitants: the Global Center on Adaptation. This Rotterdam NGO aims at promoting planning\, investment and technology to mitigate climate change. With its own solar energy source and water-based heat-exchange system\, the Floating Office Rotterdam is completely self-sufficient. \nTIME & REGISTRATION\n1pm ET Maryland time\, which is 19.00 CET Netherlands time. The lecture is approximately 1 hr\, followed by 20 min panel discussion with Q&A. \nOpen to the public. Admission is free. Donations are optional; proceeds will be used for architecture education programs. \nREGISTER HERE \nAUDIENCE\nThe lecture is geared towards architects\, developers\, construction companies\, engineers\, and students. \nAbout the speaker\nAs associate and design director at Powerhouse Company\, Albert Takashi Richters heads the so-called pitch-team where initial design concepts are conceived ranging in scales from villas all the way up to urban strategies. In 2016 Albert joined Powerhouse Company after winning the competition for the Çanakkale broadcasting tower and visitor center in Turkey for which he was part of the collaborating design team at IND [Inter.National.Design]. \nIn his work as an architect\, Albert understands the architect’s role as one of mediation between parties. As such he has been involved in various competitions and large-scale urban strategies such as the recently presented Codrico Masterplan for the Rijnhaven in Rotterdam. A masterplan that demands a good balance between the place’s history\, the city’s needs and the developer’s requirements by means of an architectural ensemble. \nThis holistic approach is one that is carried through in the architecture projects that Albert has been worked on\, where an understanding of ambitions\, feasibility and technical solutions becomes a way to mediate between design and a project’s further development. It is here where the Floating Office Rotterdam fits in as a design that is part of larger ambitions of the city whilst being a design that requires a representative and elegant building that is efficient\, sustainable and of course\, buoyant. \nAs a TU Delft graduate Albert has been a design tutor at the TU Delft for the Chair of Complex Projects under Prof. Kees Kaan and currently is tutoring at the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture and Urban Design. \nAbout Powerhouse Company\nWe give meaning to space through profound form and function. \nWe are Powerhouse Company\, an award-winning architecture office based in Rotterdam\, the Netherlands. Our story begins in 2005. Newly founded back then\, we operated from kitchen tables in Rotterdam and Copenhagen. We have since grown into a multidisciplinary office of around 100 professionals\, with international studios in Beijing\, Oslo and Munich. Along the way we have won a number of prizes\, including the Dutch Design Award\, the Maaskant Prize and the World Architecture Festival Award. \nSome things don’t change however. We are still led by founder Nanne de Ru\, these days along with Paul Stavert\, Stijn Kemper\, Stefan Prins\, Sander Apperlo (Munich) and Johanne Borthne (Oslo). \nOur mission is to create meaningful spaces that enhance people’s lives. \nWe shape our projects through the collective intelligence of our dedicated team\, plus our in-depth research into the historical and future context. We love to be close to our clients\, thinking along with them so that we can embrace their social\, economic and sustainability goals. Our multi-disciplinary team and collaborative ethos allow us to take full responsibility for any project\, from sketch to construction. \nWe pride ourselves on the sensorial richness of our work\, which results from our constant search for the sweet spot between constraints and possibilities. This process enables us to make conscious design decisions that enhance the subconscious design experience. Our approach to function is based on our belief that every inch in and around a building should enrich the overall sensation it creates. This is how we intertwine context\, aesthetics and function. The outcome is the serene clarity that people sense in all our projects. \nWe are Powerhouse Company. We give meaning to space. \nAbout this lecture series\nThis lecture is one of a series of lectures in 2021 organized by Cristina Murphy\, Assistant Professor at Morgan State University School of Architecture + Planning (MSU SA+P)\, with assistance from Baltimore-Rotterdam Sister City Committee (BRSCC). The lecture series includes speakers from the U.S.A. about Baltimore’s cityscape and urban design\, and speakers from the Netherlands about innovative construction materials and circular design systems such as reuse\, remanufacturing\, and recycling in the built environment. Special thanks to Jeremiah Ekoja\, Graduate Assistant at MSU SA+P\, for his help with coordinating the lecture series.
