The American Institute of Architects Supports Green Energy Education Act Washington, D.C. – April 23, 2009 – “We commend the House for its 411-6 vote to approve the Green Energy Education Act of 2009 (HR 957) that authorizes the Energy Department to distribute funds otherwise allotted to the department for energy research and development to the National Science Foundation (NSF) for its Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship program,” said AIA Vice President Government and Community Relations, Paul T. Mendelsohn. “The funds would then be used for graduate educational programs related to energy research and development, as well as for undergraduate or graduate interdisciplinary engineering and architecture education programs related to the design and construction of ‘high performance buildings.’” article continued on page 4
President’s Message Timothy J. Bement, AIA
Greetings to all! It is so nice to have finally pulled out of the cold and grey of winter and into warm and colorful spring! It has been a challenging start of 2009 for many AIA members. As a result, AIA Dayton has many activities planned for this year that will keep our members occupied, educated, entertained and focused on the future! The first four Architecture Basics and Bagels programs have been very well attended. They are free to members, so plan to attend this year to help fulfill your Learning Units and get back to the basics of architecture. The year began with a brainstorming session entitled “Let’s Talk Architecture.” Fifteen people attended including members, associates, and affiliate members. The goal: to identify ways that AIA Dayton can interact more with the community; increase member participation in chapter events; and increase membership in the organization. Great ideas were generated from the session and the notes from this gathering are posted on AIA Dayton’s website or follow the link here. Two ideas discussed will be pursued this year. The first is the continued support of activities occurring downtown by participating in Urban Nights scheduled for May 15 and September 11. On May 15, AIA Dayton members will be volunteering to man the AIA Dayton booth in the lobby of the Kettering Tower along with the Strategic Building Reuse Project banners. Our goal for this evening will be to act as a sounding board for people’s concerns about downtown and make them aware that AIA architects care about the health and vitality of our urban core. For the September 11 Urban Nights, AIA Dayton is planning an interactive venue that will encourage the participation of visitors and architects alike. Sound intriguing? We need volunteers! The other “big idea” is the Focus on Design event now scheduled for November 6, 2009. You may have seen a headline identifying this date in the last couple of News Briefs. I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but this will be a Focus on Design like no other. Plenty of design professionals will be attending and you will have a unique opportunity to meet new people. Look for details in News Briefs to come! As we move into late spring and early summer, plan to attend the myriad of programs, plant tours and the Dayton Dragons outing. Check out the official AIA Dayton schedule in this issue and fill out your calendars! As a final note, many of you are probably aware of the challenging legal circumstances that one of our member firms is currently facing. The local media does its best to paint a sensationalized picture to make it newsworthy, but only those involved know the actual details and events. As licensed professionals, architects are held in very high esteem among the general public because we are expected and required to keep the health, safety and welfare of our clients and general public our number one priority. I encourage you to take this opportunity to remind your clients of the benefits of hiring an AIA architect, why good design matters, and that AIA architects are leaders in the sustainable evolution of our society! As always, feel free to contact me at tim.bement@app-arch.com. Timothy J. Bement, AIA AIA Dayton President

Strategic Building Re-use Project Submitted by Jane Treiber Kudos to the AIA Dayton architects participating in the Strategic Building Re-use Project: New Ideas for Downtown Spaces and Places. The project was spearheaded by the Downtown Dayton Partnership and the results of the ten firms’ efforts were unveiled Wednesday, March 25, 2009 at a news conference in the former Third National/ Key Bank Building. Coverage of the event was televised by all the local networks, the Dayton Daily News and numerous other media outlets. Building owners and developers attended the news conference and reception, as did local government officials, business leaders, community activists, architects and many others. Mayor Rhine McLin, an enthusiastic supporter of the project, addressed the packed lobby and praised the creativity and applicability of the proposed designs for the vacant/underused buildings. Excitement was the key word for the event. The proposed possibilities for housing, retail, market, and landscape design were very diverse and electric. The architects’ visions of what downtown Dayton could be were exciting indeed.

UL & FM Rated Assemblies: Elastizell Roof Decks have numerous fire and wind uplift ratings. Elastizell is noncombustible. Low Cost & Permanent: An Elastizell roof deck is permanent insulation which performs better than rigid insulation and has excellent R-Value ratings. Life Cycle Benefit: The future cost savings of utilizing Elastizell is tremendous because it does not require tearoff, disposal, and replacement when the roof membrane is replaced. –GO GREEN– 2475 ARBOR BLVD.

2009 Art in Architecture Student Design Winners Submitted by Shawn Hicks
On April 7th, AIA Dayton announced the winners of its annual Art in Architecture Student Design Competition where students from the AIA Dayton area were invited to compete for $2000 in scholarships and prizes. This 2009 program was designed for college-bound high school students, grade 9 through 12, interested in art, architecture, or design. Thirty-three students from 14 area high schools participated in the 28th annual Art in Architecture Student Design Program. In partnership with the AIAS Student Chapter of Miami University and the Humane Society of Greater Dayton, this year’s program was to design a pet adoption center. Student designers included office space, meeting rooms, pet interaction area and relief areas within their projects. They took into account animal’s favorite activities such as fetching, swimming and climbing. Students were assisted with this project by their high school advisers as well as a team of designers including Laura McCaffrey, Assoc. AIA, Dan McNulty, Assoc. AIA, of App Architecture, Brian Petro of Interbrand Design Forum, the entire Trademark Drafting staff and Miami University Design and Architect Students.
Andrew Campbell, a senior at Centerville High School, for his project “Playful Paws”. An award for the Creative Use of Material went to the “Little Paws” project created by Fairborn High School Junior, Alyssa Critchley; while Oakwood Junior Marcel Georgin received the Future Architect Award awarded for a great concept, “Pet Adoption & Wellness Services.” Rounding out the prizes and receiving the Master Craftsman award for the best presentation entitled “Feline Valley,” was Danielle Parish, a Greene County Career Center Junior. This competition was judged on three criteria: creative design; artistic presentation; and sustainable design principles. Judging of the student’s projects occurred on Saturday March 21st by a panel of jurors prominent in the design field. The jury chairperson was Julie Sabourin, AIA, Garmann Miller Architects. The other jury members were Mary Rogero, AIA, Rogero Buckman Architects, and Ward Scantlin, Assoc. AIA , John Poe Architects. The Art in Architecture Student Design Competition and scholarships were sponsored by Contech Design, Inc. and John Wiley & Sons.
According to McCaffrey, chair of the Student Design Program, “The Art in Architecture program is a wonderful way to allow high school students to learn about architecture and its related professions. They get to talk to local professionals and Miami University architecture students, and then practice what they learn and put it all together. It was fun to see the different approaches that the students took to designing an animal adoption center. Just as in our professional lives some people had a fun iconic design, and others had sleek sophisticated designs, the students’ designs were very creative and we really enjoy the opportunity to work with them. “ Nicholas Hansford, a sophomore at Centerville High School, was awarded the 1st place Honor Award and a $1200 scholarship for his project “Cat Adoption Center.” Second Place Merit award and an $800 scholarship went to Bellbrook High School Senior, Scott Betz, for his project “Humane Society Rendezvous.” The two Honorable Mention Book awards were earned by Christopher Pettis, senior at Stivers School for the Arts, for his project “The Lost Kitties Cat Adoption Center,” and
