Installing Fenestration in Exterior Insulated Walls (Pella Architecture Solutions)
2020-07-16 11:00 - 12:00, 2020-07-15 11:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York)
Fiberglass Fenestration in Commercial Buildings
1 AIA/CES LU, 1 Contact Hour, 1 Hour of Health/Safety/Welfare, 1 Hour of Sustainable Design
Learning Objectives

List the evaluation design criteria used by architects and owners when researching, designing, and specifying windows and doors for sustainable buildings.
Describe how the strength, durability, energy efficient, and sustainable qualities of fiberglass composite make it a suitable material choice for windows and doors.
Compare the environmental attributes of fiberglass composite with aluminum and vinyl windows.
Design appropriate window installation details for new construction projects that meet human safety and welfare requirements while contributing to an energy efficient building envelope.

Program Description
Whether designing sustainable commercial or institutional building types, architects carefully consider the qualities and long-term advantages of fenestration materials. Windows and doors provide essential protection and architectural character to a building, and must also respond to owner-driven requirements like aesthetics, cost, performance, maintenance, and life cycle.
Fiberglass composite is suitable for windows and doors in any climate or building type. More durable than aluminum or vinyl, with the thermal efficiency of wood, fiberglass composite windows are an economically competitive alternative to aluminum and vinyl windows. The multiple advantages and benefits of fiberglass composite make it a versatile fenestration choice because of its strength, durability, low maintenance, energy efficiency, and sustainable qualities, as well as its resistance to corrosion, dents, and scratches.

Exteriors at Evergreen Series - Part II: An Ever-Expanding Evergreen (Johns Hopkins)
2020-07-14 14:00 - 15:00
This three-part, virtual lecture series will explore different facets of Evergreen Museum & Library’s exterior, shedding light on how the house and its grounds changed over the course of a century. Originally constructed in 1858, the home was occupied by two generations of the wealthy Garrett family between 1878 and 1952. During its near 100 years as a private residence, the house expanded in size and scope to accommodate the needs of its residents and changing tastes in architectural and landscape design. Using photos and architectural drawings, these virtual presentations will explore those changes, the reasons for them, and their impact on the exterior aesthetics of Evergreen.
Part II – An Ever-Expanding Evergreen
Lori Finkelstein, the Philip Franklin Wagley Director & Curator of Evergreen Museum & Library, will examine the myriad expansions to Evergreen made between the early 1880s and early 1900s by the first generation of Garretts to occupy the house. Many of the “Victorian” changes were intended to support both the growing number of workers on the premises and the growing number of objects acquired by Evergreen’s owner, T. Harrison Garrett (1849-1888). Highlights will include the North Wing and porte cochère, the two-story entryway, and the famous Gold Bathroom.
This event will be presented on Zoom.
Please, join us for Part I: Historic Gardens and Grounds, on July 7th and for Part III: Evergreen in the 20th Century on July 21st.

Queries & Theories \ June 23: Embodied Carbon and Climate Action
2020-06-23 16:00 - 16:30
Join us for our third Queries & Theories webcast on June 23, 4:00 – 4:30 pm ET. Carl Elefante, FAIA, FAPT will moderate as Erin McDade, Senior Program Director at Architecture 2030 & Julia Siple, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, Director of Sustainability at Quinn Evans, explore the challenges of addressing “embodied” greenhouse gas emissions (GhG) from the manufacture of building materials and products, the construction process, and associated transportation. The building sector is responsible for more global GhG emissions than industry, transportation, or agriculture. For operating buildings, this includes both burning fossil fuels on site, as well as consuming electricity generated with fossil fuels. But whether designing a new building or renewing an existing building, we must also account for embodied carbon emissions. Our discussion will address questions such as: Why has embodied carbon emerged as a crucial climate action topic? Is embodied carbon a significant factor, and how? How should embodied carbon be addressed when planning a building project? How does it differ with new buildings and the renovation of existing buildings? How does addressing embodied carbon make better buildings? We welcome you to submit your questions & comments when registering for this event, as well as during the live discussion via GoToWebinar’s Chat feature.

Tickets are donation based. We encourage you to give what you can to support the 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.
The Garrett-Jacobs Mansion is a National Register Historic Landmark, a contributing structure to the Mount Vernon Historic District, and arguably the finest example of Gilded Age architecture in Baltimore. It comprises parts of 4 rowhouses built in the 1850s (7, 9, 11 and 13 West Mount Vernon Place). Over a period of 60 years, the Mansion grew from one elegant rowhome (No. 11) located in the finest residential community of Baltimore, into a showplace celebrating the wealth and good taste of its owner.
21 year old Mary Frick Garrett arrived at No. 11 West Mount Vernon Place in 1872 as the bride of Robert Garrett, scion of the Garrett family, grown fabulously wealthy through its ownership in the B&O railroad.
About the Presenter:
Lisa Keir is a Trustee of the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion Endowment Fund and a life-long fan of historic architecture. She developed a tour of the Mansion and trained docents to lead the tours.
The Taste and Tour, which features a signature cocktail and an hour-long tour of the principal rooms of the mansion, is held (during non-virus months) on the second Tuesday of the month. For a cocktail suggestion for June, she suggests a mint julep, the signature drink of the Triple Crown races, usually run in June.

Architectures of Socialization & Control: A Conversation about Schools, Prisons, and Housing (SAH, Latrobe Chapter)
2020-06-18 18:00 - 19:00
Presented by the New York Review of Architecture + Interference Archive, the event will focus on the intersections of schools, prisons, and housing. It will feature Latrobe’s 2020 symposium keynote speaker Dr. Amber Wiley in conversation with Dr. Joy Knoblauch, and will be moderated by Dante Furioso. Dr. Wiley’s research concerns architecture of schools in Washington, DC and prior to earning her PhD from GWU, she served on the board of directors of the Latrobe Chapter.
Speakers
Amber Wiley specializes in architecture, urbanism, and African American cultural studies. Her research interests are centered on the social aspects of design and how it affects urban communities – architecture as a literal and figural structure of power. She focuses on the ways local and national bodies have made the claim for the dominating narrative and collective memory of cities and examines how preservation and public history contribute to the creation and maintenance of the identity and “sense of place” of a city.
Joy Knoblauch is an Assistant Professor of Architecture teaching history and theory of architecture as an exploration of architecture’s engagement with politics and science. She is on the steering committee of the University of Michigan’s Science, Technology & Society Program and the steering committee for the Graduate Certificate in Healthy Cities. Her first book on The Architecture of Good Behavior: Psychology and Modern Institutional Design in Postwar America is forthcoming in the spring of 2020. Her current research expands this critique of functional theories of psyche into sensory and empathic arenas including a critical interpretation of ergonomics.

Nicholas Redding, Nakita Reed, and John Renner will speak about the preservation and community revitalization advocacy efforts of Preservation Maryland and the on-the-ground experience of the proven value of this work in Maryland – and the policy changes that are needed to expand the scale and impact.

Brutalism is an architectural style that everyone loves to hate, but is worth a second look for three main reasons: its value to architectural history; its connections to its communities; and our climate future.
Drawing on examples from her work as an architect and preservationist at Quinn Evans, Lucy Moore will dig in to those reasons to preserve, adapt, or reuse brutalist architecture. She will also outline the challenges facing its preservation.

Join architect Jessica Damseaux to learn about how Alexander Design Studio adapted the historic Noxzema factory into a vibrant mixed-use community of apartments and artist workspaces.

The Fox Building is an adaptive reuse of a 20th century Noxzema factory located in Hampden just blocks from the Avenue on 36th Street. Noxzema got its start in Maryland and became famous for its skin cream in little blue glass jars.
The building has been transformed into a vibrant mixed-use community of apartments and artist workspaces. Many of the building’s original features have been retained and restored including the original maple wood flooring, glass block windows, soaring 15’ factory ceilings, and massive mushroom shaped concrete columns. The renovation was designed to meet the requirements of both National and State Historic tax credits.
The result is a decidedly modern mixed use building that celebrates its industrial origins. It includes 96 loft style and studio apartments with original concrete floors and modern kitchens, studio artist space and gallery, and common areas including a theater, gym, and pool.
Learn about its transformation from the architect.
