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.

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 URL:https://www.aiabaltimore.org/event/trailblazing-architects-barbara-wilks-faia-fasla/ CATEGORIES:Virtual Histories,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.aiabaltimore.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/BW-New-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210331T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210331T193000 DTSTAMP:20260403T172744 CREATED:20210205T204106Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210312T210522Z UID:26150-1617213600-1617219000@www.aiabaltimore.org SUMMARY:2021 AIA Baltimore & BAF Spring Lecture Series: Art + Architecture DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Baltimore and The Baltimore Architecture Foundation for the 2021 Spring Lecture Series…\n\n\nCover photo: United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum (Diller Scofidio + Renfro) \n1.5 AIA LU\,  1.5 LA/CES LU Available \nArchitecture is a manifestation of culture.

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.

To cap off Women’s History Month\, we are featuring Kathleen P. S. Sherrill\, AIA\, NOMA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, the first (and only) African American to serve as president of AIA Baltimore in 2012 and AIA Maryland in 2016. Kathleen founded the AIA Baltimore’s Women in Architecture Committee in 2012 (now EQUITY Committee) who are co-hosting this event. \nKathleen will highlight her work along the Pennsylvania Avenue corridor\, Maryland’s only designated Black Arts and Entertainment District\, as well as touch on several other projects in different areas of Baltimore\, including Edmondson Village\, Hampden\, Upton and Reservoir Hill.  In highlighting these projects\, she will call on the needed leadership development of the professional community. 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).

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.

In this talk\, Mary Rizzo will examine forgotten moments from Schaefer’s terms as mayor\, from the creation of a failed local version of the Oscars\, called “The Don” awards to honor Baltimore’s film business\, to the Baltimore Promenade\, a public art project designed to integrate city neighborhoods through the act of walking. While Schaefer is remembered for large-scale projects like Harborplace and stunts like posing with a mermaid for the opening of the Baltimore aquarium\, his legacy should include his reimagining city government to include arts and culture–for good and ill. \nPresenter Bio: \nMary Rizzo is Assistant Professor of History at Rutgers University-Newark. She works at the intersection of inclusive public history\, digital humanities\, urban studies\, and 20th century U.S. cultural history. She is the author of Come and Be Shocked: Baltimore Beyond John Waters and The Wire (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2020) and Class Acts: Young Men and the Rise of Lifestyle (University of Nevada Press).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Take part in this interactive course that demonstrates how energy-efficiency goals—when addressed beginning early in design—can be successfully achieved\, saving valuable resources such as design time and client budgets. The session begins with an overview of comparative analysis towards achieving energy conservation goals alongside factors that drive energy use. A real case study forming the basis of the charrette will be presented\, including an overview of conservation strategies available for consideration. Participants will utilize live polling to assemble “bundles” of selected energy efficiency measures to play out what-if scenarios. Facilitators will run real-time energy modeling simulations to show the results of bundled measures and discuss the merits and challenges of each. Charrette results will be revealed alongside energy-savings trends\, dispelling common misconceptions about the link between budget and energy savings. Actual energy performance of the case study building will be reviewed. \nLearning Objectives \n• Recognize the value early energy analysis provides to the design process and client decision-making \n• Identify a range of energy-efficiency options and their impacts on energy outcomes during various stages of design \n• Interpret building performance and financial information provided by energy analysis results \n• Understand how decisions made early in design can increase energy savings opportunities URL:https://www.aiabaltimore.org/event/aligning-budgets-with-energy-conservation-goals/ CATEGORIES:Allied Professional Member CES Provider,Webinars,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.aiabaltimore.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/27ce0914deb822fa6ab6492118d9e7c6-1UMf5d.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210301 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210413 DTSTAMP:20260403T172744 CREATED:20210201T165628Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210414T154649Z UID:26010-1614556800-1618271999@www.aiabaltimore.org SUMMARY:Baltimore Architecture Madness DESCRIPTION:Baltimore Architecture Foundation is celebrating AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary with a March Madness tournament of Baltimore buildings built between 1870 and 2021. Public voting will determine which buildings advance to each round of the tournament. \nCongratulations to Architecture Madness Champion:\nAmerican Visionary Art Museum  – Alex Castro\, Rebecca Swanston\, and Davis\, Bowen & Friedel (1995)\, Diane Cho\, Cho Benn Holback + Associates (2004)\nView Championship Voting Results \nVIEW THE ARCHITECTURE MADNESS BRACKET \n  \nVisit Our Championship Match-Up Page \n\nView Early Round Voting Results:\nSee Round of 64 voting results\nSee Round of 32 voting results\nSee Sweet 16 Match-Up Page!\nSee Sweet Sixteen Voting Results\nSee Quarterfinals Voting Results \n\nHow We Selected the Building Nominations \nBAF sought to include a diverse selection of buildings built over the course of AIA Baltimore’s history. 10 buildings were selected from each decade. AIA Baltimore and BAF committee leaders led the effort to select buildings using sources such as the AIA Baltimore Design Awards\, The Architecture of Baltimore: An Illustrated History\, A Guide to Baltimore Architecture\, and National Register listings. Public voting then determined which buildings were entered into the tournament. \nThe following rules were used: \n\nBuildings must be in the Baltimore region (AIA Baltimore zone)\n\nBaltimore City\, Baltimore County\, Howard County\, Harford County\, Carroll County\, Cecil County\n\n\nBuildings must be built within AIA Baltimore’s lifespan (1870-2021)\nBuildings must be extant\n\nFor the most part\, BAF avoided including single-family homes to protect the privacy of current homeowners. \nWhy Create an Architecture March Madness Tournament? \nThe tournament is intended to celebrate 150 years of architecture since the founding of AIA Baltimore in 1871. This is not a definitive ranking of the ‘best’ buildings in Baltimore. We want to see which buildings you love and learn why you love them.  BAF’s overall goal is to spread more awareness about Baltimore architecture.  As the tournament goes on we will be including articles about the buildings and from experts about the features of architecture that stand the test of time. \nPlease direct questions and comments to Nathan Dennies at ndennies@aiabalt.com.  URL:https://www.aiabaltimore.org/event/aia-baltimore-150-architecture-march-madness/ CATEGORIES:Special Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.aiabaltimore.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/BAF-MADNESS.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210226T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210226T133000 DTSTAMP:20260403T172744 CREATED:20210208T205329Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210208T205422Z UID:26231-1614344400-1614346200@www.aiabaltimore.org SUMMARY:Design for Distancing: Reopening Baltimore Together DESCRIPTION:Learn how local designers are working to make public spaces safer during the pandemic\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

The existence of these communities and their buildings helped to preserve their mostly overlooked history. But development and societal changes are adversely impacting these historic places. In rural Northern Baltimore County many have already disappeared leaving few traces. You have probably driven past or even lived nearby many of them without even realizing it. Those that do remain are important for what they can teach us about this largely undocumented part of Maryland’s history. \nThis presentation will give an overall view of that history and look at several of the remaining communities or structures in more detail. \nTopic: Baltimore County’s Historic African American Communities \nTime: Feb 20\, 2021 03:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/87090707612 \nMeeting ID: 870 9070 7612 \nOne tap mobile \n+13017158592\,\,87090707612# US (Washington DC) \n+13126266799\,\,87090707612# US (Chicago) \nDial by your location \n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) \n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) \n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York) \n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) \n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose) URL:https://www.aiabaltimore.org/event/vanishing-heritage-baltimore-countys-historic-african-american-communities-preservation-alliance-of-baltimore-county/ CATEGORIES:Partner Programs END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210220T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210220T120000 DTSTAMP:20260403T172744 CREATED:20201221T135229Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201221T135229Z UID:25614-1613815200-1613822400@www.aiabaltimore.org SUMMARY:Achieving Registration Together: ARE 5.0 Study Sessions DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Baltimore in preparing with these essential ARE study sessions\, tips\, and practice with fellow emerging professionals!\n\n\n\n2021 is the year to get started or revisit your quest to becoming a registered architect! \nTo help you on the path to licensure\, AIA Baltimore Emerging Professionals Committee organizes Achieving Registration Together (ART)\, a series of ARE study sessions with tips\, discussions and practice led by fellow EPs who have recently completed the exams.* \nJoining a virtual study group is an effective strategy to maximize your time as you prepare for your exam.

A portion of donations will also go to Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes (FMOPL). \nWyman Park and the Stony Run Stream valley demonstrate the premier design work of the Olmsted Brothers from 1903 to 1947. The influential landscape architecture firm was established in 1898 by brothers John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.\, sons of the eminent landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The Municipal Art Society hired them to produce the City’s first comprehensive park system plan in 1904\, the Development of Public Grounds for Greater Baltimore Report. The Wyman family had donated land for Johns Hopkins University in 1902 for use as a northern campus and that same year\, the University gave the remainder of the land to the City of Baltimore to serve as a public park. \nIn the 1904 Report\, the Olmsted Brothers identified Wyman Park\, with its old beech trees and bold topography\, as one of the finest single passages of scenery to be so near a large city and advocated for it to become a stream valley reserve and extended north and south Bookending the University to the southeast and fitting into the City grid is the intact Wyman Park Dell\, a 16-acre public park noted for its steep enclosing slopes and a large\, sweeping lower lawn\, fully realized and conceived by the Olmsted Brothers. The presentation will focus on their vision and what remains today from Stony Run’s headwaters at the city’s northern border to where the stream joins the Jones Falls River to the south. \nIn addition to the Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage\, Inc.\, this Virtual History is co-sponsored by the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes (FMOPL) and the Maryland Society of Landscape Architects. \nPresenters’ Bios: \nSince 1986\, Sandy Sparks\, founding president of the FMOPL\, is strongly committed to the non-profit organization’s involvement in streetscape\, park system and watershed planning\, in addition to its significant archive of Olmsted drawings. Since the 1990s\, Sandy has served as the designer/editor of The Olmstedian monograph series focused on Olmsted designs in the Baltimore region. A strong believer in the value of stakeholder-based parks friends groups\, Sandy launched the Friends of Wyman Park Dell (1983)\, Friends of Mt. Vernon Place (2000) and Friends of Stony Run (2011). With support from the Central Baltimore Partnership\, she led the launch of the Friends of the Jones Falls\, becoming the group’s first President in 2019. A graduate of the University of Illinois (BFA) and Maryland Institute of Art (MFA)\, Sandy remains an active leader in Charles Village\, where she has lived since 1966 and continues to design/edit The Charles Villager. \nJillian Storms\, AIA\, is an architect in the School Facilities Branch of the Maryland State Department of Education. She once served on the Board of Directors and Inventory Committee of FMOPL. She is a former President of the BAF and now serves as co-chair of its research committee\, the Dead Architects’ Society.
