Accelerated Bridge Construction Using Precast Concrete (SEI Maryland)
2021-07-29 12:00 - 13:00
Receive (1.0) PDH / AIA LU
Since its introduction in the United States in 1949, precast, prestressed concrete has rapidly become the preferred composite material for bridge design and construction as well as many other transportation-related projects. Today, it remains the solution of choice for transportation agencies and their designers across the country. This growth came, and will continue to come, from the commitment of precast producers to develop, improve, and implement advanced materials, products, and technology all aimed at enhancing the performance of bridges and transportation structures. Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) is a unique approach to project planning, material acquisition, and on-site work for bridge construction, rehabilitation, and replacement. A trusted method that professionals all over the world have employed for more than twenty years, ABC uses prefabricated road and bridge elements to support cost-effective and fast project completion.

The Church of the Redeemer made it to the semifinals of BAF’s Architecture Madness tournament, which included 64 exceptional Baltimore buildings built between 1870 and today, hosted in celebration of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary. We’ll explore what makes this modernist church so beloved by Baltimoreans.
The Church of the Redeemer was built in 1958 and designed by architect Pietro Belluschi in collaboration with RTKL. It is a Mid-Century Modern, re-interpretive addition to the original 1856 church by R. Snowden Andrews (1830-1903). Its sophisticated design integrates original stone and like materials to create a modern spirituality of the time.
Peitro Belluschi (1899-1994) was born in Italy, and moved to Portland, Oregon in the 1920’s. His churches and residences reflected a Pacific Northwest vernacular of wood and stone, while his seminal commercial work was more modern in its materials vocabulary. We will tour the 1856 historic chapel, and the 1958 church and supporting administration wing and will view some of the original drawings and documentation of the Belluschi work.
This program will be presented by We’ll be joined by Mark Schroeder, Director of Facilities at the Church of the Redeemer.

Last year, Woodberry became a local historic district in recognition of its historic significance to Baltimore. Its industrial past is largely intact including the original mill village. The story of Woodberry’s growth is a story of the Industrial Revolution at the local scale. As the factories grew, so did the neighborhood, and many styles of homes for working families can be seen in Woodberry today.
Nathan Dennies, Associate Director of BAF, Chair of the Greater Hampden Heritage Alliance, and a Board Member of the Friends of The Jones Falls, will walk us through Woodberry’s history beginning with the flour mills of the 18th century and ending with how the neighborhood’s industrial legacy is being preserved and celebrated today.

Restoring the Hawley-Hutzler House (Doors Open Baltimore)
2021-09-22 13:00 - 13:30
Friday, October 22 | 1:00 – 1:30 pm | Donation Based
In 2019, the grand Victorian 8,000 square foot Hawley-Hutzler Mansion went on the market. The mansion was once the home of the Hutzlers, who owned the famous department store of the same name. The mansion has gone through significant alterations since it was built in 1887, including being converted to offices, and in the 1970s, split up into apartments. Needless to say, there would be a lot of work to do to restore this mansion to its former grandeur.

Join us and Luke McCusker of the Irish Railroad Workers Museum as we explore Henry McShane, his bell foundry and the churches where they were installed. His work was vital in the proclamation of religious freedom throughout America’s cities and towns. By McShane’s death, his foundry had 1,000 employees. He and his workers had made and shipped over 200,000 bells, supplying 75% of the bells found in America’s churches. Ships and civic memorials also purchased bells from the firm. McShane is also credited with naming Dundalk, having established a factory there and naming it after Dundalk, Ireland where his father was born.
