2020 AIA Cleveland Year In Review

Year In 2020 Review

A Letter From the President Dear Colleagues,

02

As I reflect on 2020, it has been an unprecedented and tumultuous year in our world! We have lost loved ones, we have dearly missed one another, and we have deeply contemplated our values as a society. This is a year which we will never forget. At our annual Board retreat last December, there was a fresh energy which permeated the air. We were motivated to focus on The Future of Practice, and we each shared what that meant to each of us. We discussed humanizing the profession, the social implications of the built environment, the significance of human sustainability and wellness; and most importantly, that we must lead with our values and use our platform to stand up for what we believe in. We were each energized by the dialogue.

Once March came along, an extreme pivot was essential.

The Future of Practice was here. A day when we feared for our health and wellbeing. A day when it became imperative for us to speak up against racial injustice and inequity. A day when we realized that to remain relevant as a profession, we must be nimble and have diverse perspectives. That day was upon us.

Our Cleveland Board, our leaders across our design community, our sister chapters across the state, and our Ohio Board all came together as human beings. The kindness and the support were unparalleled as we worked together to provide our members with much-needed information and encouragement. All of our programming went virtual and became tied together as a statewide initiative. Our Covid-19 Task Force readied state leaders to prepare for the peak in cases, and we used our designthinking to study the safest ways to get our children back into the classroom. We pivoted.

There were many good things which came out of this year. Our community has expanded. We have leaned on one another as friends. We deftly juggled practice, homeschooling, and leadership. We became closer to our families, and we value our colleagues even more than before.

As the world grows more complex, it will be critical for architects to represent a more diverse cross-section of humanity. This year, our pipeline initiatives included the creation of a digital Home Architecture Camp, which reached thousands and traveled to ten countries. We shared architecture with the Girl Scouts of Northeast Ohio, and we reached eight-hundred students at Shaker Heights Schools through our dreamARCHITECTURE program.

I hope that with each coming year we continue to welcome change to the profession, to encourage the inclusion of diverse perspectives. This diversity will allow us to respond to the future problems of our world, and it will be key to remaining relevant as a profession. As this year comes to a close, this is a time to reflect and a time to be grateful.

I am thankful to have served as President during this memorable year.

Wishing you and your families a safe and happy holiday season!

Very best,

Jodi van der Wiel AIA, NCARB, LEED AP BD +C, WELL AP

2020 The Future of Practice

American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

Using our Platform

Harnessing the passion of our members and the broader design community, AIA is taking steps to advance racial justice and equity in our organization, in our profession, and in our communities.

As we work to break down barriers, we recognize we don’t have all the answers. To succeed, our action must be guided by greater understanding. These resources represent just a few tools to help bridge the gap – the gap between complacency and knowledge, between knowledge and action, and between action and progress. Through listening sessions with internal and external stakeholders and partner groups, we’re further exploring concrete ways to effect change.

Equity, Diversity + Inclusivity

We are committed to broadening equity, diversity, and inclusion to create a stronger profession. The American Institute of Architects, as part of the global community, champions a culture of equity, diversity, and inclusion within the profession of architecture to create a better environment for all. Achieving this vision has a direct impact on the relevance of our profession and the world’s prosperity, health, and future.

Pipeline Initiatives

AIA’s K-12 Initiative build relationships between chapters, members, and allied and educational partners. By supporting and developing architecture and design programs, AIA seeks to • Inspire emerging generations by showing them the global power of design through real-world examples • Motivate our budding learners to study and understand the impacts of design at an early age • Nourish the curiosity of young students to engage in solving current and future challenges with design thinking with early programming

The Future of Architectural Education

Three areas of concentration are: preparation for practice, commitment to equity, and action on climate change.

These issues are obviously all vital, and interrelated—the Venn diagram of prosperity, justice, and sustainability totally overlaps. Climate Action – Programs must demonstrate how the curriculum prepares all students to apply climate action goals of decarbonization and adaptation with an understanding of the performance outcomes of integrated design solutions.

Climate Action

Designing and constructing buildings that can combat the greenhouse effect will improve our chances of repairing our planet while creating a healthy, resilient, and regenerative future.

Human Sustainability

Wellness Architecture – the practice of architecture that relies on the art and science of designing built environments with socially conscious systems and materials to promote the harmonious balance between physical, emotional, cognitive and spiritual wellbeing while regenerating the natural environment. Human health, wellbeing and comfort are key design considerations that augment a foundation rooted in sustainable and regenerative design practices.

Technology + Practice

High technology is revolutionizing architectural design.

The shift is altering both the process and end result of a new breed of innovative architecture that is disrupting the industry and heading in unexpected and exciting directions. We are pursuing new horizons in design, chasing algorithms, experimenting with adaptability, robotics, 3D printing and reality. We have access to data and analytics that allow us to focus more on innovation versus production while optimizing performance.

AIA National Grassroots, February 17-21, 2020 New Orleans, Louisiana

AIA Ohio Advocates for the Profession of Architecture AIA Ohio Mission

Architects Leading the Design of the Built Environment AIA Ohio Vision

AIA Ohio Influence Policy Lobbying at the Statehouse, February 4, 2020 AIA Ohio Advocacy Day in Columbus, Ohio Leadership from Ohio’s seven chapters met with State Representatives and Senators to discuss important legislative bills effecting architecture and the built environment. Topics included SB 136 (Architect’s Payment Assurance Legislation), HB 402 (Interior Design Certification) and safe school design. AIA Cleveland was represented by 2020 AIA Ohio Advocacy Committee Chair Dave Robar, AIA, 2020 AIA Cleveland President Jodi van der Wiel, AIA, 2020 AIA Cleveland Advocacy Committee Chair Wayne Mortensen, AIA, 2020 AIA Ohio Secretary Aaron Hill and 2019 AIA Cleveland President Christopher Toddy, AIA.

Chapter leaders from throughout the AIA gathered in the French Quarter to network, share ideas, and expand their leadership capacity. This year’s event featured a series of facilitated conversations on the role of architects as impactful civic leaders, be it as responders to natural disaster and climate change or as part of the solution to housing affordability and racial equity. The Institute carved out a conference-wide session wherein field experts partnered with YAF leaders to host salons spanning these topics. The conversations culminated in a panel of mayors moderated by AIA PresidentElect Peter Exley and a presentation from longtime Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett on the importance of walkable cities and public health (the prescience of which we would soon understand). Continuing with a recent tradition, the winners of several honor awards were recognized, including Rona Rothenberg, FAIA, the 2020 recipient of the Thomas Jefferson award for Public Architecture. Grassroots is also a time for regional peers to network and the Ohio Valley Region took advantage of the opportunity to discuss regional initiatives, have facilitated dialogue around regional realignment, and introduce component leaders to oneanother.

Payment Assurance Legislation (SB 136) AIA Ohio (with AIA Cleveland leadership) designed and introduced a no-opposition (Architects) Payment Assurance (Lien Rights) Bill in early 2019. Over the 2019-2020 Ohio legislative session, we successfully completed three Committee hearings, but did not gain a senate vote. Disappointing. Only 40 of over 1000 bills moved forward. We will reintroduce this legislation in January and will work to convince the new committee chair to move this forward. In the meantime, please support the state congress-people of your choice and support the AIA Ohio PAC.

Build Collaborative Relationships Design for Safety Schools Charrette In June, AIA Ohio hosted an ideation charrette to generate guidelines for students and teachers in the quest to return to the classroom in the Fall.

The Coronavirus pandemic has disrupted standard processes surrounding how we educate students at every level. As a result, all schools, colleges, and universities were ordered to transition to a virtual platform by the Ohio Department of Health. Current policy and protocols for how we interface with the current educational environment need to be reshaped, and our local and statewide leaders needed to hear from design-thinkers to inform pressing decisions.

The truth is that there is nothing noble in being superior to some body else. The only real mobility is in being superior to your former self.

Remembering Whitney Young Jr. Early in 1968, AIA President Robert Durham, FAIA, extended an invitation to the executive director of the National Urban League, Whitney M. Young, Jr., inviting him to deliver a keynote speech at AIA’s National Convention in Portland, Oregon.

President Durham’s invitation came at a time of unprecedented turmoil. In the 1950s and ‘60s, federal money fueled urban renewal projects and the Interstate Highway Program. Intended to improve the conditions of the urban poor, the programs often uprooted entire neighborhoods and had the opposite effect. With a few exceptions, the architectural profession and AIA were silent in the face of the damage being done. Durham sought to change that by inviting Young, saying, “Seldom has there been such a broad public consciousness of the presence of a storm in human affairs.”

American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

AIA Ohio rallied architecture students, emerging professionals, and experienced architects to explore alternate solutions for K-12 and higher education facilities which aided administrators in the preparation for students returning to in-person classes. Policymakers considered these innovative solutions to influence their plans and to justify resource allocation in the transformation of our education environments and to improve keep our communities safe during this unprecedented time.

Expand our Sphere of Influence AIA National Statement: Systemic Racial Injustice “As Americans, we are mindful of this nation’s dark history of racial inequality. We are appalled by any actions that further threaten the universal respect and human dignity that everyone deserves. As architects, we remain committed to advancing civil rights protections, fair housing policies, and accessibility in the built world to help achieve the more perfect union we all seek. The fact is that architects and AIA, in our more than 160year history, have not always felt compelled to share our perspectives. But the times we live in, the horrific nature of the events we witness, and the role we see for every member of our society demands that we speak out.”

Use our Voice Everyone deserves universal respect and human dignity.

We stand for equity and human rights.

AIA Cleveland Statement: Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Our hearts go out to the friends and families of Amhaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, George Floyd, and all those tragically lost in 2020. AIA Cleveland joins others whom we know are deeply troubled by the lack of accountability for unjustified police violence against individuals and communities of color. We denounce racism and bigotry in all forms and commit to exploring new ways in which to be proactive in the promotion of equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Equitable and inclusive practices should not only be entrenched in our workplaces, but also evident with the communities and end users that the profession serves to produce a more flourishing built environment. As community needs become deeper and more urgent, encompassing broad concerns such as resiliency and social justice, architects will do well to adopt solutions created in partnership with those communities. By practicing greater equity, the profession increases its value to society as well as its visibility among potential partners and future practitioners.”

Covid-19 Task Force In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, AIA Ohio created a task force in late February to empower and lead our state agencies with the information they needed to engage architects, engineers and contractors in response to the developing healthcare crisis. As the state and local government agencies worked to flatten the curve, plans were needed to increase that capacity.

The task-force created a database of individuals and organizations committed to serving our region in an emergency response framework to be a resource in the design and construction of new and retrofit health wards. A list of contacts was shared with the Ohio National Guard and State Office of Emergency Management in late March.

AIA Ohio’s efforts and leadership in this category were recognized by AIA national as a model effort to empower architects and others to be not only responsive, but proactive in our service. On the same day the Ohio governor engaged the Ohio National Guard to lead the build-out effort, we were able to furnish them with our database of contacts.

Promote Diversity across the Profession

American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

To Further The Profession As a unified body, we create greater visibility for the profession Communicate Policy Code of Conduct To support local professional conduct, AIA Cleveland updated its Professional Code of Conduct in March 2019. Christopher Toddy, AIA led the revision, which was refined by the board in October 2019 and September 2020. This policy, which is published on the AIA Cleveland website, allows the board to address concerns of unprofessional behavior within our chapter.

Anti-Harassment Policy An AIA Ohio led task force looked to support safe chapter environments and expanded chapter diversity.

Sandra Madison, AIA served as the AIA Cleveland rep in this state-wide collaboration. As a result, AIA Cleveland created its Anti-Harassment Policy, which can be found on the chapter website.

View Initiatives through the EDI Lens Equity, Diversity + Inclusivity Increasingly, architects will be called to lead efforts in finding solutions to many of our society’s most pressing issues. To meet these challenges, as well as the unknown ones ahead, we must have the talent, passion, and creativity of a diverse cohort of students, professionals, and leaders.

Foster Mentorship Cleveland Connect The winter Cleveland Connect Mentorship Mixer was a great opportunity for protégés to meet and mix with the program mentors. Beginning with informal mixing, attendees were then asked to break into small group discussions, each led by a mentor. Mentors leading the conversations were given a topic to frame a discussion around: emotional intelligence in the workplace, negotiation, gaining business development skills as a young professional and communication, specifically, how to handle difficult situations in the office. The event was very successful; the smaller groups allowed for each protégé to speak up and add their voice to the conversation.

KSU Career Fair In February, several AIA Cleveland members attended the annual Kent State University Career Fair on behalf of the Chapter. Creating a combined table with the KSU AIAS chapter, both organizations interfaced with students, recent graduates, and professionals about the importance and value of the AIA and AIAS. Students were able to pre-register to become an AIA Associate member based on their graduation date, and “AIA Cleveland Swag” was raffled off to all of the students who visited the AIA/AIAS tables.

Pascale Sablan: I Was Asked to Stand!

OHIO: SAY IT LOUD! March 12, Karamu House Pascale Sablan aia educates and empowers to understand the cause and the potential solutions for the disparity in representation, documentation, and acknowledgement of the great works of women and diverse designers. The lecture unpacks the history and how we may proactively change the profession while advocating for Equity.

AIA Cleveland WIA+ championed and hosted the statewide exhibit OHIO: SAY IT LOUD which features women and minorities at the National level. AIA Cleveland leaders secured grants from The Cleveland Foundation, The AIA Ohio Foundation, and AIA Ohio. OHIO: SAY IT LOUD, curated by Beyond the Built Environment, is the activation of a national movement of sharing, protecting and celebrating the underrepresented to inspire the next generation. We had an unprecedented 186+ registrants, 24 sponsors, 44 exhibit entrants, and 33 video entries for OHIO: SAY IT LOUD. Upon its opening at Karamu House, the oldest African American Theatre in the country, OHIO: SAY IT LOUD premiered as the largest exhibit of its kind in history. The team garnered sponosrships from local architects, designers, and community partners in excess of $25,000 which will allow the exhibition to travel the state. SAY IT LOUD continues to tour, visiting local component chapters and schools of Architecture, conferences, and signature events. Over three thousand viewed the highlights to vote for people’s choice, making this curation the most impactful outreach initiative by AIA Cleveland to date.

Beyond the Built Environment The exhibit was curated by BBE, which engages community through architecture to advocate equitable, reflectively diverse environments.

Elevate Knowledge and Expertise

American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

Support Leadership Development Elevate your career path—AIA provides a community of resources.

Historic Resources Committee The Historic Resources Committee (HRC) demonstrated the Chapter’s interest in sustaining the commemorative and useful value of existing buildings by monitoring local landmarking and demolition activities.

The Committee worked with the Cleveland Restoration Society on the shared, annual Celebration of Preservation. HRC and WIA+ collaborated on providing a discounted showing of the Joseph Hillel film, “City Dreamers.”

Women in Architecture Committee The WIA+ Committee’s 20-25 design professionals dedicated to its mission: to educate, advocate, and empower on matters of gender equity in the profession, visibility and influence of women architects and designers, and leadership and mentorship of all members. When we look back on all that was achieved this year despite COVID 19, we hit our mark.

Committee on the Environment The Committee on The Environment (COTE) explores current events related to the environment and design, and reviews topics from the AIA Framework for Design Excellence. Recent presentations from members include Design for Energy, Biomimicry, and an Intro to INTRO (the timber frame mixed-use project south of the West Side Market). COTE has been meeting via video conference beginning in June 2020.

Young Architects and Associate Members The Young Architects and Associate Members (YAAM) Committee is dedicated to bridging the gap between practice and passion. The group fosters mentorship, promotes learning and camaraderie, and offers emerging professionals a platform to share ideas and become leaders.

Design for Aging Committee The DFA Committee built on last year’s initiative of exploring trends, features, and amenities that promote aging in place in a natural occurring retirement community (NORC). DFA defined a local developer and will partner with CSU’s Levin College of Urban Affairs for their Spring 2021 Capstone Project. The Committee will serve as the client and will engage with students in a multi-disciplinary analysis to develop a master plan for the midtown campus. The master plan will prioritize improving the environment through real estate development in a way that is sustainable, benefits Clevelanders of all backgrounds, promotes a thriving urban neighborhood.

Healthcare Committee The Healthcare Committee provides an avenue for firms as well as the world class healthcare institutions in Cleveland to come together to discuss the latest technologies, trends, and projects in healthcare. This provides us all with the knowledge to stay at the top of the industry.

Description: COVID-19 is a generational event that will impact our lives and our decisions for decades. Just as 9/11 changed our protocols around security and surveillance, the coming years will be shaped by public health and safety. A new world is unfolding before our eyes and we as designers, architects, and strategists, play a critical role in shaping the health and safety of the people that live, work and play in the spaces we create. This three-part lecture series begins to unpack how architects and designers create spaces for our clients and how those spaces promote safety and wellbeing.

The series explores the future of workplace for our clients and for ourselves as designers, exploring technological tools that allow us to collaborate as we once did in our studio environments. Finally, the closing lecture contemplates how we may sustain those human interactions and resume gathering in meaningful ways which are crucial to mental health and wellbeing.

Catalyze Cross-Programming SMPS | AIA In January, the two organizations partnered on a clientcentric session which reimagines sales through the client’s perspective. The session explores behavioral best practices and sales coaching tools with a clear roadmap bridging ROI and client experience.

BEC | ASHRAE | COTE | AIA In February, our Committee on the Environment partnered with the Cleveland chapters of the Building Enclosure Council (BEC) and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to organize a lecture by Dru Crawley, Ph.D. Attendees learned about the impacts of climate change and urbanization on future building performance. In just the US, roughly 40 percent of greenhouse gases can be attributed to carbon produced by buildings.

CEA | CES | NEO | AIA In July, CEA, CES, AIA and NEO partnered on a webinar: Northeast Ohio Economy & Workforce Focus on Architecture, Construction & Engineering which discussed current challenges, pivots, future trends and the value of association and volunteer leadership. Each organization shared pipeline initiatives to broaden the building industry.

Cleveland 2030 District | AIA Each year the 2030 District and AIA partner on our Building Education Series. This year our sessions included Great Retrofit and New Construction Projects as well as the Post-Covid series providing resources on Wellness, Air Quality, Returning to Work and Designing the Workplace for Social Distancing.

Engage the Media #ASKED TO STAND Leading up to the 2020 Women in Architecture Celebration, AIA Cleveland elevated our members through daily social media features. Over 30 architects and designers answered the question “As an architect/ designer, when have you been called to action and “asked to stand?”, and shared how they advocate to make a difference within the profession and community. With responses ranging from mentorship and sponsorship of women and minority architects, facilitating community engagement to provide equitable amenities, and advancing awareness of marginalized groups by sharing experiences to instigate new dialogues, this social media campaign illustrated AIA Cleveland’s members’ diversity, passion, and commitment to our community.

Home Architecture Camp Generate Externally-Focused Programming An Educational Resource Created by AIA Cleveland 24

The Toolkit In March of this year, we all found ourselves confronted with a new reality and were introduced to a “Stay at Home” policy for parents and children. This situation provided us with both a challenge and an opportunity. Parents were tasked to provide an educational experience with little practice and a need to entertain their children. Under these circumstances, those of us in the architecture community came to recognize that we might provide leadership in producing a resource parents could access to provide both education, as well as, entertainment. By developing such a resource, we could both contribute to young people gaining a greater appreciation and understanding of architecture. To this end, we developed an activity package and curriculum available to local communities and individuals to support the effort to educate and entertain through architecture. The “Kid’s Home Architecture Camp” was distributed nationally for immediate use during the summer of 2020. Since, it has been used in 55+ cities, 26+ states, and 10 countries.

We hope this document can be shared with parents, educators, children, architects and others interested in the built environment. We are sure people will find its broad spectrum of programs in the areas of history, design, building, sustainability, drawing, coloring and creating to be an engaging and stimulating support for stay at home education.

A diverse profession will ensure that we have the rich perspectives to solve the issues of our time. girlsBUILD! ARCHITECTURE Pilot The Women In Architecture Committee led an initiative to provide an Architecture Patch to regional Girl Scouts. While the Boy Scouts have had an official national badge for over one-hundred years, this opportunity still does not exist for girls. We now have telling data confirming that girls are not likely to explore careers in STEM when not exposed at the K-5 level. This crucial enterprise expands our pipeline. A local patch is the first step towards a nationally recognized badge, which the WIA+ committee continues to explore. Our limited pilot program in October adorned 40 Girl Scouts with an architecture patch at Camp Ledgewood. Our embroidered patches were financially sponsored by Hallie Crouch assoc aia. Larissa Burlij aia and Jodi van der Wiel aia led the design. Robyn Wolf aia acted as lead organizer.

dreamARCHITECTURE dreamARCHITECTURE: The Introduction Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic the Shaker Heights School District schools have been closed since March 13th and appears as if they will remain so for the remainder of the school year. This unfortunate situation forced us to scale back and pivot our dreamARCHITECTURE plans. Our objective is to primarily focus on celebrating and collaborating with 5th and 6th graders at Woodbury Elementary School regarding their Woodbury Creating Change (WCC) Project. We have coined their project the ‘dreamPLAZA’. We initially planned to envelop that effort into the broader Pre-K through 4th grade and 9th grade initiative. Our augmented approach has been one that we have been able to develop and nurture remotely and it appears that we can continue to the complete the design process despite the current circumstances. dreamPLAZA: The Project 5.14Students were tasked with “designing” their very own outdoor plaza individually or in small groups. Our collaborative idea is to capture the essence of the top three or four student designs in an AIA CLE/NOMA led design charrettekeeping in mind that the ultimate goal is to construct the plaza as soon as possible. Members of our AIA CLE Team will complete the construction documents and specifications for the District and subsequently garner plan approval, assist in acquiring the building permit, Bidding and Negotiation, as well as Construction Administration for the project.

The students were exposed to national and international renowned architects/ designers for inspiration. Through that exposure the students were able to incorporate and express their respective influences within their design process.

“Ms. MC” and “Mr. B” (as the students so affectionately refer to their art teachers) led them through an exploration of design strategies, understanding 6.02 of materiality, scale, texture, geometry etc. The results were very interesting and some were stunning! I only included their graphic designs, but please be aware that their arguments for their designs were equally, if not more so, enlightening and quite frankly entertaining to read…

AIA Cleveland: Lake Erie Boy Scout Council Webinar Series AIA Cleveland partnered with the Lake Erie Boy Scout Council to provide two webinars promoting the Architecture Explorer Program, supported by AIA since 2014. Two sessions were broadcasted by the Scout Council. The webinars were hosted by Jodi van der Wiel aia, and Jud Kline faia with featured presenter TyJuan Swanson, an architectural graduate student and prior program member. Jud first presented a program overview with commentary by TyJuan describing his path, and an activity led by Jodi on plan, section and elevation.

The second session included a virtual field trip of projects underway at Vocon 6.03 and an activity considering how architecture can play a role in addressing social issues. In producing a virtual program for young people, the partners are planning additional sessions for the fall.

American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

Prepare + Promote our Members Champion an Issue-Based Task Force Structure Zoning Task Force During the past year, we have continued to study the zoning code and monitor various development projects.

Specifically, Section 337.031, Townhouses, which was amended in 2018 has presented several problems in its implementation. The lack of minimum lot size and dwelling unit size has tended to produce crowded autocourt-type buildings with often long and narrow interior frontages. As a building type, this form has been met with resistance from both neighbors and design review committee members. Development projects have gotten bogged-down in the review process over confusion regarding approval authority and potentially capricious zoning changes made without community knowledge or support.

The Cleveland Zoning Code, originally passed into law in late 1929, was primarily geared toward preserving the qualities of existing neighborhoods and limiting the ability to locate industrial and commercial uses in residential districts. It also sought to ensure that residential development included adequate space for daylight, ventilation and open space. Where it concerned new development, it tended to promote real estate development and sprawl. As is common with many zoning ordinances of the period, it lacks a zoning district that allows a “middle housing� option and includes only single family, two-family, townhouse and multi-family districts.

The various restrictions for A, B, RA, and MF districts provide for dramatic and often incompatible differences in building form (setbacks, height restrictions, FAR). In contrast, within each of these districts, the regulations affecting individual buildings and neighborhoods are remarkably subtle and nuanced, offering a sensitivity to context that is not always a component of newer formbased codes.

Connect Members Advance Member Experience The Communications Pivot It has been and continues to be an unprecedented year for all of the inhabitants of planet earth. With the constant influx of news and information, this AIA chapter, led by President Jodi van der Wiel, was compelled to serve our membership in the best ways possible. The weekly newsletter, the flagship platform for communicating information and events, went through a major transformation. It included material that would balance the challenging news by providing inspiration in the form of websites, design organizations and photographic imagery from our very own Dave Robar aia, coloring activities for adults & kids provided by Jeremy Smith aia of Bialosky, memos from local industry leaders, and “Perspectives”, a curated set of TED talks by Vocon’s Michael Christoff aia, to add levity. This overall effort was supported by our web and app platforms and we continue to explore ways to improve our connections and conversations as we move forward into unfamiliar circumstances.

American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

Demystifying the ARE, 01.23 Each year, AIA Cleveland kicks off its study sessions in January with a panel discussion on “Demystifying the Architectural Registration Exams”. Panelists cover basic topics such as study habits, helpful resources, and what to expect at the testing centers. The panelists range from those who are taking the exams themselves to those who recently finished. The event takes place over pizza and drinks, a casual setting to prompt all attendees to participate in the conversation.

LGBT Community Center Tour, 02.07 David Thal aia, of the firm Weber Murphy Fox, led the first Design Tour of 2020 at the LGBT Community Center of Greater Cleveland in the heart of Gordon Square. He shared with the group of over 25 attendees many of the challenges this project faced throughout design and construction. Attendees learned about many of the systems that are utilized to achieve their sustainable design goals, and they explored the social influences involved in the designed of a safe space for this community. The group later enjoyed Happy Hour at the Luxe next door.

Leadership Breakfast, Featuring Rhiannon Sinclair, 02.13 Our winter leadership breakfast was hosted at the Union Club of Cleveland and featured Rhiannon Sinclair of Agency Landscape + Planning. As an urban planner with a background in architecture, she focuses on complex urban systems across multiple scales. She uses data-driven strategies to better understand and enhance the relationships between people, buildings, systems and the public realm.

In this lecture, she presented Cleveland’s Vision for the Valley, “Cleveland’s Other Waterfront”, which represents an opportunity to integrate its commercial history with a future that includes recreation, housing, and transportation all converging along a transportation corridor that features maritime, bike, pedestrian, and rail transportation.

Tablet Sketching, Led By David Craun, AIA 02.27 + 04.23 Taught by one of Bialosky’s Design Directors, David Craun aia, shared how architects of all skill levels can save a considerable amount of time over conventional pen/paper sketching and drawing markups by adopting tablet sketching. He explained how going entirely digital in all phases of professional services can help practitioners become more effective at visual communication and, therefore, more profitable. The course covered a variety of tablet applications but focused on the functions and flexibility of Morpholio Trace on the iPad Pro. The session “drew” a large crowd and has inspired a number of designers to try sketching on tablets for the first time.

Community Oriented Design, Featuring Andrea Steele, AIA 10.06 Andrea Steele’s lecture focused on community engagement during design, while advocating for community-oriented engagement and programming within various development types. She discusses designing a facility and spaces that advance the goals and mission of both parties; public and private entities, while identifying how architects can be mindful of resources beyond the typical financial.

Annual Meeting, Featuring Peter Exley, FAIA, 10.28 Over 60 attendees gathered virtually for our chapter’s annual meeting, which voted-in the 2021 Slate of Candidates Congratulations to new and retained board members! We thank outgoing members for their service. We also had the great honor of hosting Peter Exley, FAIA, as our featured speaker. Peter will serve as our 2021 AIA National President. He shared key reflections on 2020 as well as key ongoing National initiatives.

Business of Architecture, Featuring Kathy Dixon, AIA, 11.10 Members from around the state joined this conversation coordinated by the WIA+ Committee. This roundtable was moderated by Nora Hoxha, Assoc. AIA, with panelists Kathy Dixon, AIA, Melanie Lewis, AIA, Allan Renzi, AIA, and Jonathan Lusin, AIA. 2020 | Year in Review
