2021 AIA Cleveland Year in Review

Year In 2021 Review

A Letter From the Executive Director Thank you to all our members, designers, sponsors, volunteers, community partners, and Board members for making 2021 an amazing year for AIA Cleveland! Your generosity and leadership helped us navigate another challenging year, and together we sustained our architecture and design community. AIA Cleveland will continue to support our members’ efforts to create a meaningful professional impact in their careers and communities. Every day I am reminded that your talents, passion, and dedication help make AIA Cleveland better, while also bringing national recognition to our Chapter. I am most grateful for the opportunity to work with a passionate Board who values our members, community engagement, inspires leadership, and promotes diversity.

Membership offers many opportunities to pursue your passions, advance your career, and share your stories. Currently, AIA Cleveland has 540 members who tell me they value the connections within the AIA community, leadership opportunities, and events. It’s easy to get involved, and you have the flexibility to participate as much as your schedule allows. New graduates can take advantage of a free 18 month AIA membership, ARE training and resource library, and scholarships. All members can benefit from design inspiration, enriching educational events, mentorship, community advocacy and leadership development. We want to give you an opportunity to make a difference in the areas in which you are most passionate.

As we begin to look toward the future, our events will be a combination of virtual and in-person. You’ll have the opportunity to meet inspirational speakers, advance your career, and connect with friends. There are many activities to choose from throughout the year. Annual events include Sand Fest, Celebration of Preservation, Design Awards, Design Cruise, Golf Outing, and Women in Architecture Celebration. Additional programs will include Design Award Lectures & Tours, Hard Hat Tours, and Coffee with the Fellows. Young Architects & Associates can participate in ARE Study Sessions, Dragon Boat Races, Mentorship, and Speakers on the Square. The best part is meeting new people, having fun, and sharing ideas about architecture and design.

I invite you to join this dynamic community and enhance your professional training, no matter what the stage of your career. In 2022, AIA Cleveland will continue its commitment to fostering the advancement of architecture and design, collegiality, networking, advocacy, and education for its members.

American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

A Letter From the President Why become an Architect? For me it was a simple formula of adding up a few known strengths with an unexpected passion that clearly pointed to a profession. The strengths were what you might expect with drawing, math and logic, but I found my passion as a kid walking through Downtown Cleveland on bitter cold December days going to Browns games. Maybe it was the excitement of the game mingled with awe at the sheer scale, rich detailing, and unique mix of buildings Downtown, but I was convinced it was more than a fleeting admiration, it was a calling. I’m sure everyone has their own unique story of why they became an architect, but I’m guessing because most of us were drawn to the Power of Architecture.

I believe everyone in this noble profession feels the call to use this power to make the world a better place. More than 20 years after starting this journey I found myself walking through Downtown Cleveland again rekindling that awe on a warm sunny July day while participating in the Sketch Crawl event put on by AIA Cleveland. That day I remembered not only my love for sketching and our great city, but also felt a kinship with my fellow architects that inspired me to get involved with our local AIA chapter so I could help others feel the same way. Since then I have found that collaboration and comradery through service on the AIA Cleveland board were the missing pieces outside of my daily practice that could keep my passion for architecture alive. That passion drives me to help our profession in any way I can so that all of us, collectively, can design a better future for Cleveland.

No words can fully express how grateful I am to our 2021 Board of Directors for their outstanding work this year in service to our members. While the ongoing Covid Pandemic dampened some of our plans going into this year, it has also caused us to be even more creative and resilient. Like many of our design projects, the pragmatic restraints on our vision often result in a more carefully edited and distilled outcome that is better than we originally thought possible. As you turn through this Year In Review booklet, I think you will share my enthusiasm and gratitude for all that our Board, and many of you as Committee Volunteers, have accomplished despite the challenges we faced, and the results speak for themselves.

You will find this booklet organized in chapters based on the five facets of our Strategic Plan: Advocacy, Inclusivity, Inspiration, Outreach and Value. Many of the inspiring programs and events that AIA Cleveland put on this year were selected through the lens of Promoting Design Excellence to support these strategic initiatives and to highlight the power of architecture. Thank you to all our AIA Cleveland members for entrusting us to lead your chapter this year. Please consider how we can better uplift you and our profession in 2022!

American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

2021 Theme

Design excellence means more than beautiful buildings. This year’s theme aspired to elevate all areas of architectural practice through the lens of design.

Strengthen Design Advocacy

Encourage the Progression of Design Ideas

Our chapter pulled together leading voices in our city through panels such as, Design Through Powerful Influence, and Designing Cleveland Panel. It is imperative that we build these relationships and be part of the conversation that influences the design landscape in our communities. Programs like these remind us that architects cannot design in a vacuum; that design has the power to shape communities and organizations.

If we do not evolve, we cannot thrive. Our profession must continue to investigate best practices in designing architecture and cities. In 2021, our chapter created programming on equitable cities and calibrating our practices to do this work. The event Disruptive Practice: Practice, Pedagogy, and Policy challenged us to (re) consider new ways to approach community-building, city planning, design and development.

Engage Broader Design Community

Reflect on Historic Design Precedent

This year, AIA Cleveland prioritized partnerships with our broader design community through joint programs and initiatives. Our chapter engaged over 20 organizations, including NOMA Cleveland, Cleveland Restoration Society, and the Cleveland 2030 District. We value holding conversations and celebrations about architecture and design together as a community.

Cleveland has a rich heritage of historic landmark buildings and districts that anchor us to the past and provide lessons for the future. Preserving our history through restoration and rehabilitation of these buildings often requires delicate new additions or all new buildings surrounded by historic context. To acknowledge this important and difficult task, we created two new design awards categories in partnership with the Cleveland Restoration Society for the Celebration of Preservation: Compatible Addition to a Historic Structure and Compatible New Building in a Historic District.

Celebrate Award-Winning Design Year Round AIA Cleveland has exemplary design firms that continue to impress esteemed architect-jurors nationwide. While our annual Design Awards Ceremony remains a signature event and a member favorite, we challenged ourselves this year to celebrate this work all year long. Our Design Award Lecture Series pulls award-winning projects into themed groups, allowing attendees a behind-the-curtain conversation on the challenges and successes of these exemplar projects.

Visit Inspiring Architecture Architectural exploration allows us to pause, look up, and remember why we pursued this profession. This year the chapter organized a guided tour of Oberlin College, a place of rich architectural heritage, advanced green buildings, and award-winning design. Our chapter thrives when our members intake inspiring architecture, near and afar, that can promote a growth mindset of leaning forward, seeking improvement and believing in a better future. Design matters!

AIA National Grassroots: Bring it Home

Payment Assurance Legislation (SB 49)

February 26, 2021

July 1, 2021

Grassroots 2021 Leadership and Advocacy Conference shared ideas and initiatives related to design influence, Justice Equity Diversity and Inclusion, and climate action.

AIA members also dedicated time to speak virtually with lawmakers, asking that they support legislation to include buildings as infrastructure and to support climate action through adoption of net zero building codes.

Ohio Architects lost their mechanics’ lien rights in 1932.

Ohio Architects, Engineers, Surveyors and Landscape Architects now have Professional Lien Rights for commercial projects. SB 49, AIA Ohio’s Payment Assurance Legislation, was officially signed into law on July 1, 2021, in Governor DeWine’s office at the Ohio Statehouse. First introduced as SB 136 in 2019, the bill took two legislative sessions and a lot of work by the AIA Ohio’s Payment Assurance Committee, our lobbyist Luther Liggett Jr., partnership professional organizations, and Statehouse sponsorship support to make this into law. Thank you, primary joint sponsors State Senators Jay Hottinger and Vernon Sykes. Following a 90-day wait period, the bill went into effect on September 30, 2021.

Dan Roam, author of Draw to Win and Blah, Blah, Blah: When Words Don’t Work, reminded us that architects’ ability to communicate visually is our greatest asset and that when it is coupled with design thinking, our influence is boundless.

Stacey Abrams, author of Lead from the Outside and Our Time is Now, challenged us to put aside our egos to connect to others and find POWER WITH. She impressed upon us that we must stay present and engaged and continue to struggle through the specific context in which we exist to achieve a more equitable and inclusive practice.

Contributer

Christopher Toddy aia

Katharine Hayhoe, Director, Texas Tech Climate Center, reframed how we communicate about climate action, stressing that it is not a part of our priority list, it affects everything on our priority list.

Build Collaborative Relationships Design Through Powerful Influence

Designing Cleveland Panel

A moderated panel of three Cleveland design influencers discussed current design trends and future goals of the architectural profession. Mark Mistur, AIA, Dean of the KSU College of Architecture and Environmental Design; Lillian Kuri, Executive VP & COO of the Cleveland Foundation; and Walter B. Jones, Jr. AIA, Senior Vice President of Campus Transformation at MetroHealth spoke. As architects in academia, philanthropy, and healthcare, the discussion focused on how their non-traditional design roles influenced the physical, emotional, and social well-being of the Northeast Ohio community. Larissa Burlij, AIA, Senior Associate at Bialosky Cleveland, moderated this virtual event.

Designing Cleveland featured Terry Schwarz, FAICP, director of Kent State University’s Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative, Chris Ronayne, President of University Circle Inc, and Kandis Williams, Vice President for Economic Opportunity at Cleveland Neighborhood Progress. The panel analyzed past challenges and successes in Cleveland and explored how our elected officials, local organizations, and planners can collaborate with local architects and design professionals to help create a more equitable city that is accessible to all. Attendee takeaway: “I’m hearing a theme of ‘oneness’ and ‘connection’ which I love”.

Advocacy

Expand our Sphere of Influence Virtual Hill Appointments February 16, 2021

In meeting virtually with lawmakers, AIA members around the country stressed that the Federal Infrastructure package must include building infrastructure for hospitals, civic centers, schools, and federally backed affordable housing. Even before the pandemic, our nation’s public building store was in dire need of investment. According to a 2016 poll commissioned by AIA, 82% of Americans agree that public buildings are as important as transportation in defining community infrastructure. Members stressed that this policy should include green building infrastructure, and that the carbon footprint of public building stock needs to be addressed. Investments in public buildings should incentivize best practices in retrofits to existing building stock and new construction.

Regional Restructure The 2018 AIA Convention Resolution 18-7, “A Study of AIA Regions,” asked AIA to document the wide variety of regional structures, missions, resources, and programs. to review the relationship between the Strategic Council and regions; and to identify opportunities to increase member value, promote collaboration among components, align the components at all levels, and make efficient use of dues. We found that by eliminating regions, we can create a more direct, streamlined connection between the state components and national allowing for more unified efforts and stronger communications. Moving to a statesbased model provides all states with an equitable path for representation thereby increasing diversity of leadership and diversity of thought. Additional leadership opportunities will strengthen the pipeline of young national leaders, beginning with National Associates Committee (NAC) and Young Architects Forum (YAF) representatives.

AIA Ohio Political Action (PAC)

National Rebrand

The Ohio Architects’ PAC is ONE tool that AIA Ohio can use to help increase our influence in the legislative arena.

The Ohio Architects’ PAC represented the collective voice of individual members. AIA Ohio had 2,150 active members who benefit from the advocacy work we do every day. So far this year, 127 of them have contributed to the AIA Ohio PAC. AIA Ohio used funds from the Ohio Architects’ PAC to thank and recognize legislators and legislative candidates who heard AIA Ohio on the issues that were important to architects and to architectural firms. PAC fund contributions help legislators and legislative candidates remember who we are, and what issues are important to architects.

As an organization, AIA is evolving to reflect new, 21st century challenges. An updated visual identity, approved by the Board, signals that evolution and reinforces commitment to achieving meaningful change in the built environment. A simple red circle with the acronym AIA centered in the field streamlines the effort to help provide consistency for all levels of the organization. Architects understand how design communicates meaning, and this logo underlines AIA’s commitment to designing a zero-carbon, resilient, healthy, just, and equitable future for everyone.

Annual WIA+ Celebration: Disruptive Practice March 24, 2021

The annual Women in Architecture Celebration event increased awareness of and recognized the contributions of women to architecture and allied design professions.

“Would we design better places if we put the values of equality, inclusion, or equity first?” In Disruptive Design: Practice, Pedagogy & Policy, we featured Toni L. Griffin founder of Urban Planning & Design for the American City and Professor in Practice in Urban Planning at Harvard University Graduate School of Design, and Katie Swenson Senior Principal of MASS Design Group. The two trailblazers shared their work and the framework they developed that is rooted in creating necessary positive change in our communities by delivering architecture that promotes justice, human dignity, and resilience. We learned to recognize the importance of policies that have a major effect in the community and city planning, design and development. Toni and Katie shared how architects are essential to creating and driving societal change to break down systems of oppression, inequality, and lack of access.

This event influenced our efforts in continuing the conversations for Greater Urban Equity by connecting with our very own local civic leaders, which inspired the Designing Cleveland Panel.

Parallel Paths That Divided Our Built Environment & Races May 11, 2021

Virtually presented by Richard Rothstein, this lecture explored the details of segregation in America both past and present.

The captivating discussion identified the vast impacts that segregation continue to have on our communities across the country. Using history, policy and evidence, Rothstein explained how government programs, policies, and untruths directly impacted African American’s quality of life, welfare and economics through exclusion and suppression in the housing market. Attendees gained an understanding of the impacts of how government policies rooted in racism reinforced and solidified racial division in cities across the county. As a group we recognized the importance of developing equitable policies in the field that use design to address urban injustice. AIA Cleveland supplied 100 copies of Rothstein’s book, The Color of Law, to attendees and sponsors.

OHIO: SAY IT LOUD(er) Exhibit September 22, 2021 - October 6, 2021

In 2020 AIA Cleveland, WIA+ championed and hosted Pascale Sablan, FAIA, NOMA, LEED, founder of Beyond the Built Environment, LLC (BBE) for the sixth annual Women in Architecture Celebration. As part of the celebration, the OHIO: SAY IT LOUD! exhibit, curated by BBE, launched at Karumu House and featured the work of diverse design professionals from Cleveland, Columbus, Akron, Dayton, and Cincinnati. In October 2021, the OHIO: SAY IT LOUD! exhibit made its first traveling debut at KSU College of Architecture & Environmental Design as it celebrated the journey of elevating underrepresented professionals and inspired the next generation of architects.

The exhibit is expected to tour other local chapters, schools of architecture, conferences, and signature events in 2022. Plan to view the exhibit at its next stop, OSU Knowlton School of Architecture from January 10th – February 11th, 2022. For those who cannot see the exhibit, visit BBE’s website where designers featured in OHIO: SAY IT LOUD! are also featured on the Great Designers Library. BBE is positioned to uniquely address the inequitable disparities in architecture by providing a holistic platform aimed to support and elevate the identities and contributions of minority architects and designers through exhibitions, curated lectures, and documentaries that testify to the provided value of their built work and its spatial impact.

This undertaking has been possible due to our hard-working team, grants from The Cleveland Foundation, the AIA Ohio Foundation, AIA Ohio, and sponsorships from many local architects, architecture firms, and community partners.

Jodi van der Wiel, AIA, serves as a strategic thinker and partner as an at-large member of the Institute’s EQFA Committee. Through this forum, she and her peers advise the National Board on matters of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. They equip component leaders with resources to advance equity, and refine the Institute’s content prior to launch. EQFA members supported the Institute’s new pilot association leadership program Next to Lead. To create an architecture profession that serves everyone, we must include everyone. Next to Lead removes barriers to AIA leadership positions for ethnically diverse women.

It’s part of AIA’s commitment to advancing racial equity in our organization, in the architecture profession, and in our communities.

To promote health equity, Jodi liaised AIA National leaders with the International WELL Building Institute through a round table discussion in August 2021. She led a rich and diverse conversation to inform WELL on their upcoming Health Equity rating platform. Health equity means everyone has equal and just access to be as healthy as possible.

The Search For Public Good Featuring Roy Decker, FAIA September 29, 2021

Presented by Roy Decker, FAIA, Principal at Duvall Decker, this event looked to expand the practice of architecture to elevate social health, environmental health, and community good as the highest order of achievement. Design excellence is an achievement in a meaningful form, the result of an imaginative search that embodies the collective values and human needs of a particular community. As cities become more characterized by corporate/market interests, public space becomes filled with instructions aimed to promote division and consumption. We discussed shifting authority from institution/market instruction to individual investigation. We evaluated how to make spaces and buildings that are loose in their fit to program and flexible, to leverage our creative investment into the future and flexibility for the community.

The training included an education on key EDI terms and concepts and guided activities to explore and understand privilege and bias. Case studies related to equity and inclusion in architecture, planning, and real estate were discussed. A SOAR analysis helped determine organizational immediate, short-term, and long-term goals.

Leadership Training November 10, 2021 November 17, 2021

WIA+ partnered with Gestalt Institute of Cleveland for a two-part series, in an interactive process of learning to provide an opportunity to focus on and explore how our unique styles and skills of leadership are expressed. Gayla Feinstein, LCSW (an international trainer, supervisor, Gestalt therapist, and transformational leadership coach) helped AIA Cleveland members through shared diverse perspectives and experience, to learn the benefits of a collaborative, co-creative process of working together and how empowering each other enhances leadership; thus, our workplace and communities.

These workshops enabled participants to cultivate self-awareness techniques, develop deeper listening skills, evaluate contributing factors to help build a strong foundation for their leadership, and practice leadership techniques to connect, support, uplift, and empower each other.

Create Member-Focused Programming Speakers on the Square

Small Firm Exchange

Speakers on the [Virtual] Square is an annual signature event organized by the Young Architects and Associate Members (YAAM) Committee to explore broad top-ofmind subjects. The pandemic and the recession has affected every industry in some capacity. The current state of the world informed this year’s topic, “Pivot”, where the panelists and moderator have all either taken an “alternative” career path within the architectural industry or have left it altogether. Our moderator and panelists reflected on the influence of the last recession on their careers and how a foundation of an architectural education prepared them for their current positions.

Matthew Clapper, AIA, 2021 SFx Chair, and Bruce Sekanick, AIA, presented the reorganizaion of the Small Firm Exchange and its benefits to AIA members. They also discussed small firm data, how SFx initiatives had helped small firms, and ways that you can become involved with the SFx at local, state, and national levels.

Utilize the Fellows Coffee with the Fellows Coffee with the Fellows is an ongoing series centered around a conversation between one Fellow and one emerging professional, interviewing each other. The podcast-like format allows for the inviting conversation to be live, recorded, and archived as a library of multigenerational design professionals. Coffee with the Fellows has allowed emerging designers to bloom as public speakers and design professionals and has activated Fellows as mentors and storytellers in a new way.

In 2020 and 2021, the series earned the competitive Emerging Professionals Grant from the AIA National College of Fellows which has allowed Coffee with the Fellows to be shared more widely. AIA Ohio Foundation also awarded a grant to the series in 2021.

dreamARCHITECTURE: The Continuum - dreamPlaza The community outreach initiative in conjunction with the Shaker Heights School District’s Woodbury Elementary School had moved from initial thoughts of conducting a student art contest to conceptualizing and constructing a project that embraced the bi-annual ‘WCC’- Woodbury Creating Change art class plaza design project. The students were tasked with designing a multi-faceted outdoor plaza for 5th and 6th student use. Art teacher, Mrs. C-M, and our committee invited contest winners, their families, teachers and our architectural community to attend a virtual award ceremony celebrating the 6 future designers out of over 800 entries in December 2020. Our chapter provided the winners with professionally framed, AIA member designed certificates and budding architects supplies. Through a charrette held in March 2021, our committee assembled the winning entries, extracted and massaged universal themes presented as part of the student’s curriculum’s rubric and also those incorporated within their schemes and used that analysis as launching point to begin to create architecture.

Scholarships KSU Endowment In 2017, AIA Cleveland made a five-year commitment to fund a traditional scholarship for Kent State University.

In the October Board Meeting, the board unanimously decided to not only continue this commitment but establish an endowment fund which will create and grow scholarships for disadvantaged students in perpetuity.

This significant commitment was first announced by AIA Cleveland President David Craun, AIA at the virtual Design Awards on November 5th.

AIA Cleveland has earmarked $25,000 to establish the endowment, with the goal of additional fundraising to reach $40,000 by the end of 2021. AIA Members, Board Members, and our Executive Director are presently reaching out to our design community of alumni, firms, sponsors, and industry allies to reach this goal. We ask individuals, organizations, and firms consider a taxdeductible contribution to this important endowment in this season of giving.

Former KSU Liaison, Steve Kordalski, AIA championed this long-haul initiative with compelling research and investigation on logistics. We are thankful to Steve, Marti Ring, and our board for launching this pivotal fund.

This past year the Zoning Task Force [ZTF] advocated on behalf of our members to address concerns on several fronts with the City of Cleveland including ongoing conversations about the revised Townhouse Code, the proposed Form Based Zoning, and modifications to the setbacks along Opportunity Corridor. A meeting was held between the ZTF and City Planning staff to offer up constructive criticism of the Townhouse code that has already led to improvements to the review process, clarity of intent, and critical setbacks to retain light/air of adjacent structures.

Mission Statement Ad-Hoc Committee

[New] Mission Statement

AIA Cleveland uplifts our members and profession to engage and inspire our community through the power of architecture.

At the beginning of the year, the AIA Cleveland Board Members discussed our current Mission Statement and determined the need for an update to simplify the statement and better reflect the organization’s purpose.

In June, we established the Ad-hoc Committee that took the initiative to develop an engaging, transparent, and inclusive process to ensure the new Mission Statement is relevant, inspiring, and attainable.

The process also included a Steering Committee Team to provide support, feedback, and guidance. With the belief that transparency leads to better results, the Ad-hoc Committee went through an iterative process, collecting feedback and reactions on the proposed Mission Statement to analyze, refine, and update to ensure the new AIA Cleveland Mission Statement is a true reflection of our members, peers, profession, and the community we serve.

Advance Member Experience Tours and Urban Exploration Hard Hat Tour: INTRO August 25, 2021

The INTRO Hard Hat Tour was an interactive experience demonstrating the use of mass timber framing and cross-laminated timber (CLT). At the time of the tour, INTRO was the tallest mass timber-framed building in the U.S. Attendees learned about the benefits of mass timber framing, present-day processes for sourcing material, fabrication, erection, meeting building codes and lessons learned from the contractor.

While popular in Europe, mass timber framing is a newer construction technique in the U.S., making the tour a unique experience.

Missing Middle Unfortunately, large areas of our cities are often zoned exclusively for the construction of detached single-family homes. This type of zoning not only further entrenches the sprawling car-dependent design of our communities but also pushes up the cost of housing by creating a limit on the number of residences a city can have and prohibiting more diverse types of housing that can create a broader spectrum of price points for a city’s residents. Many of our cities used to build and still have what is coined “missing middle” housing: the duplexes, townhomes, courtyard apartment buildings and other typologies that fit the gap between detached single-
