AIA College of Fellows Founded in 1952, the College of Fellows is composed of members of the Institute who are elevated to Fellowship by a jury of their peers. Fellowship is one of the highest honors the AIA can bestow upon a member. Elevation to Fellowship not only recognizes the achievement of the architect as an individual, but also elevates before the public and the profession those architects who have made significant contributions to architecture and to society. 2

“We look forward to a day of celebration to finally accord the 2020 and 2021 New Fellows our collective CONGRATULATIONS!” John J. Castellana, FAIA

s you can see by the cover, this current newsletter is featuring the AIA College of Fellows 2020 and 2021 jury and applauding them for their outstanding service. As a former Jury Chair (2015), I am intimately aware of the commitment it takes while serving over a threeyear period to review and ultimately select our newest members. On behalf of AIA College of Fellows, a BIG THANK YOU goes out to all members of the AIA who have served on this jury! Of course, the real proof of the work done is clearly illustrated by the class of 2021 New Fellows who are also prominently featured in this issue. CONGRATULATIONS to the newest members of AIA College of Fellows! To properly recognize the outstanding achievements of the 2020 and 2021 New Fellows, I am pleased to announce that we will conduct a joint investiture ceremony on the afternoon of 8 December 2021 in Washington DC during AIA Governance Week at the Kennedy Center Opera House. Peter Kuttner,

FAIA, our 2020 Chancellor, and I will co-host the Investiture along with 2020 Jury Chair Paul Mankins, FAIA, 2021 Jury Chair Nancy Rogo Trainer, FAIA, 2020 AIA President Jane Frederick, FAIA, 2021 AIA President Peter Exley, FAIA, and our AIA CEO, Robert Ivy, FAIA. Following the ceremony, we will host a cocktail reception at the Kennedy Center REACH, a magnificent architectural venue designed by Steven Holl, FAIA. We look forward to a day of celebration as we finally accord the 2020 and 2021 New Fellows our collective CONGRATULATIONS! Before we get to December, I would like to go over some other important recent activities of our College Executive Committee: • To help streamline sustaining the College through contributions, we are pleased to announce a new user-friendly platform that is now “live”! For more information, please 5

CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE (Continued) look for the announcement in this issue. Special thanks to Ron and Muza Conforti, our AIA Managers of Knowledge and Practice Operations, for their work on this endeavor. • Our Executive Committee seeks to strengthen our alliances with other allied groups; to begin this journey we have supported a research effort focused on minority architects in conjunction with NOMA (National Organization of Minority Architects). We look forward to continuing our collaboration with NOMA far into the future amd offer special thanks to Frances Halsband, FAIA, who has led this effort. • As some of you may know, Peter Exley, FAIA , has initiated a two-year “Member Voice Task Force” that focuses on overall AIA Governance. During conversations with Peter, I stressed that the College voice (through a former Chancellor) needs to be part of the task force membership. Peter readily agreed, and I am pleased to announce that Ed Kodet, FAIA, our 48th Chancellor, has been selected to serve on this important task force! • Our Executive Committee is in the process of finalizing our 2021 College of Fellows Business Meeting which is now scheduled for 30 June 2021 from 1PM to 3PM (EDT). Please register in advance by following the link here. • The Latrobe Prize for 2022 “Call for Submissions” will be issued shortly. Billie Faircloth, FAIA, a partner specializing in Research at Kieran Timberlake, has accepted our invitation to chair the Latrobe Jury. Billie, a 2021 New Fellow who also served on the 2019 Latrobe Jury, is in the process of finalizing the other jury members and overall theme of submissions. Thank you Billie. We look forward to your outstanding leadership and commitment to the Latrobe Prize!

Finally, our Executive Committee will be meeting in-person 18-20 June 2021 here in my hometown of Birmingham, Michigan. We have been meeting virtually on a monthly basis since Peter Kuttner’s inauguration in December of 2019 and are looking forward to being able to collaborate together in person. Our ExCom will be hosting a reception one evening for Michigan Fellows and their guests. Thank you to Dave Richards, FAIA, partner at Rossetti Architects for offering their Detroit office rooftop terrace for this event. It will also give us the opportunity to personally congratulate the 2020 and 2021 New Michigan Fellows (Brian Craig, FAIA, Brian Hurttienne, FAIA and Saundra Little, FAIA)! We will also be meeting early August at Mackinac Island in conjunction with AIA Michigan MidSummer Conference. It feels good to have the opportunity to actually plan events and see them through to reality. As we approach the summer season and look forward to having our lives back to some sense of normalcy, we remember all who passed away from this tragic pandemic and their families. Please keep them all in your thoughts as we work our way through to a brighter future.

John J. Castellana, FAIA 2021 Chancellor

REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE CHAIR’S MESSAGE In Memory of the Fellows passed away this year.

“Since the first of the year, an astounding number of thirteen Fellows have left our company.” Jeanne Jackson, FAIA

Hey Friends! It seems like we are headed into a whole new world, doesn’t it?! After fifteen months of being at home, my partner RK Stewart and I headed out on an actual air-assisted vacation last month. Wow! Ninety minutes on an airplane was a real treat. We have been so enjoying the privileges of the “fully vaccinated”, from visiting our local restaurants, a trip on our favorite airline, the opportunity to visit and hug grandchildren, as well as looking forward to attending the ninemonth postponed wedding of my niece at the end of June. I am hoping that all of you have been enjoying this recaptured freedom as well. On a more serious note, there are incidents to ponder that should make us consider the

contributions we have made throughout our lives, and our legacies as well. An unusual number of our esteemed and beloved peers have passed on in the last month. You may already know that one of the somber duties of the Regional Representatives to the College of Fellows is to write condolence notes to the families of those who have departed our clan. Since the first of the year, an astounding number of thirteen Fellows have left our company. I am attaching links to the obituaries of these amazing people. For an uplifting experience I highly recommend you read their stories, enjoy learning about their wonderful lives, and then raise a glass to them!

REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE CHAIR’S MESSAGE (Continued)

“May these giants whose shoulders we stand upon rest in peace.” Jeanne Jackson, FAIA

Leaving us in January was James Nagle, FAIA, a rebel known as one of the “Chicago Seven” (obituary here). In February, our esteemed colleague and Regional Representative Jesse Cannon, FAIA, left us (obituary here), as did William Roger Yost, FAIA (obituary here). In March, on the same day, we lost two Fellows from Washington D.C.: Hugh Newell Jacobsen, FAIA (obituary here), and Frank Schlesinger, FAIA (obituary here). Also that month, and also from Washington D.C., Mr. Ewing H. Miller II, FAIA, departed this world (obituary here). In April, Charles Kahn, FAIA, Dean of the University of Kansas School of Architecture & Urban Design (coincidentally RK’s first dean), departed this world (obituary here).

Our tribe was particularly hard hit in the month of May, with the loss of Helmut Jahn, FAIA (obituary here), in a tragic bicycle accident, M. Arthur Gensler Jr., FAIA, (one of RK’s long-time mentors and associates, whom I am guessing influenced many of us) (obituary here), Ed Friedrichs, FAIA (aka “Fast Eddie”) (Obituary Here), Donald E. Sporleder, FAIA (Obituary Here), and Kenneth Norman Berry Sr., FAIA (Obituary Here). May these giants whose shoulders we stand upon rest in peace. Jeanne (Also, a reminder to ALL of you Fellows please send the name of any Fellow you hear has passed to me at jjackson@vcbo.com)

2020 COF Boney Award recipient John R. Sorrenti, FAIA

AIA College of Fellows The IRA Charitable Rollover A tax-wise way to support the College of Fellows for those 72 and older! With the end of the 2020 CARES Act, those individuals who have reached the age of 72 (or older) in 2021 must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from their IRA account - the actual amount as determined by the IRS Tax Code. The RMD amount is taxable as personal income, unless it is “rolled over” directly from your Plan to a qualifying non-profit organization. In essence, to avoid tax on your RMD, the law provides the opportunity for an individual to Fellows.. direct tthe he RMD amount (some or all) to the AIA College of Fellows Many choose to make a gift to the AIA College of Fellows Fund from their IRA because 1. It is an easy and convenient way to make a gift from one of your major assets. 2. The designated RMD amount can be excluded from your gross income; i.e., a tax-free rollover.

Benefits of an IRA Charitable Rollover: Rollover: • • • •

Avoid taxes on transfers of up to $100,000 from your IRA to the AIA College of Fellows. Satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. Reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions. Support the programs of the College, and be recognized in both the COF Newsletter and the COF Annual Report.

For your gift to qualify: • •

You must be 72 or older; The transfer must go directly from your IRA custodian to the AIA College of Fellows. [The gift will only count as tax-free if the check is made out and mailed directly to the AIA/COF.]

It’s easy! Here’s how it works – three easy steps: steps: 1.

Contact your IRA plan administrator to request an IRA Charitable Rollover (i.e., a qualified charitable distribution) 2. Have your plan administrator include your name and “The AIA College of Fellows” on the memo line of their check, to be mailed directly to the AIA College of Fellows, 1735 New York Avenue NW, Washington DC 20006. 3. Notify Terri Stewart (tstewart@aia.org) of your anticipated gift, including the name of your IRA Plan Administrator.

Please note that IRA charitable rollover gift distributions do not qualify for a charitable deduction, but reduce the donor’s taxable income, even if you itemize deductions. *** The AIA College of Fellows Fund, Inc., a 501 (c)(3) Tax Exempt Organization, is organized and existing under the laws of the District of Columbia, with principal business address of 1735 New York Ave. NW, Washington DC 20006. Federal tax identification # 71-0887547

YAF UPDATE From the COF Executive Committee

Get Involved and Make a Difference by Ron Biltch, FAIA

Working with the YAF about Civic Engagement

is an easy task as members of the YAF already understand what volunteering, activism, and leadership is all about. Civic Engagement for most of the YAF probably began in grammar school and high school as they led their classes in activities and advanced issues of importance to them at that age. In college they most likely led their classes as well, so the move to get involved in our chosen profession was an easy move. I took the same path throughout my education years. I got involved with AIA in high school assisting my father’s firm at AIA State conventions and seminars, moved into Chapter and State activities after I was licensed, and then began volunteering on AIA National committees - long before Knowledge Communities were even around. I saw a need for AIA to address Design for Aging issues, as our firm specialized in senior living, and co-founded the DFA community in 1988 when I was thirty-four and led that Knowledge Community as Chair for twelve years. If you see a need for AIA to get involved in an issue, take the lead to get AIA to address it. Volunteering and engaging in professional and civic activities prepares you to be fearless in addressing issues and challenges in everything you do, whether it’s getting ready for an important interview or client presentation, or addressing a public body as a town committee chairperson or an elected official. We have a deficit of architects in public service as elected or 14

appointed officials, and yet we are trained to lead a profession that creates structures and environments with collaboration skills as second nature. Listening and collaboration are key skills in elected service. As Historic Commission Chairman in my small town for over twenty years, I assist residents and developers through the process of working within guidelines and processes to create projects for the public good. Sometimes it is hard to work with applicants who do not even accept the concept of a “public good”, and that requires one to focus on an outcome that leaves everyone satisfied that they were heard and respected and with a result acceptable to all. That is not easy, but it is necessary, and architects have the skills to guide and lead these efforts. YAF members should consider volunteering for local commissions (volunteers are always needed) and consider running for office, where leaders that are proficient in seeing the “big picture” and building solutions are of utmost importance. It is imperative to work to get appointed by a Governor to the State architects’ licensing board; the average age of Governor appointed licensing board members that determine how we practice is far too old. That is an area when diversity is critically needed and is thankfully beginning to be embraced. We need to stay involved, ask the tough questions, solve the challenges we have now and those that are to come!

WHY WE GIVE ! Those who have been fortunate enough to be successful in this profession need to give back - not only to young architects, but to the profession as a whole. The College of Fellows, through grants, mentoring, and other critical activities, enhances our profession. John Sorrenti, FAIA, FRAIC Mineola, NY

***

Give? Yes! The Fund supports programs that have advanced the practice of architecture, and promoting the scholastic awareness and importance of architecture. John A. Busby, FAIA Atlanta, Georgia

***

When we created a list of philanthropies that we have a passion for with our Trust attorney, the College of Fellows Fund was first in line. We each have several legacy gifts in our estate plans, our kids will be fine without it. This costs us nothing today and will support the College in the future. It is easy to do, and so impactful. Imagine the difference that we can make if we all make the same choice. Join us - please! Betsey Olenick, FAIA, and Brian Paul Dougherty, FAIA Costa Mesa, California

***

I support the College of Fellows because we are able to fund research, components, and support young architects. My contributions provide an opportunity for me to advance the profession through the College’s programs and professional engagement. Edward Kodet, FAIA Minneapolis, Minnesota

***

Why give to the COF Fund? Because your legacy should be a commitment to the next generation of architects. Our annual donations enhance the excellent programs of the Young Architects Forum, enables the AIA Components to provide innovative programs through the Emerging Professionals grants, and supports the efforts our COF Regional Directors to mentor those who will be the future leaders. It is why I donate each year - you can too! Please, give as generously as you can. Lenore M. Lucey, FAIA, FRAIC Washington DC 17

New COF Funds Donation Website The College of Fellows is pleased to announce that a new website has been launched to accept donations to the College to advance its mission.

Donors will also be able to make "recurring" donations monthly if desired., easily designate their donation to a cause or individual, and get immediate recognition from the Chancellor of the COF that their donation has been received and is appreciated.

EP Architalk - The Podcast AIA COF Component Grant 2020 by Cara Longobardi, AIA New York State

s recipients of the COF Emerging Professionals Grant in both 2018 and 2019, AIA New York State was eager to bring our projects to the next level. In 2018 and 2019, roundtable programs were offered via live stream while our local Chapters hosted viewing “parties” to engage the audience and provide live interaction. Often overlooked yet relevant and timely topics were tackled with the “Cooling the Burn in Burnout” program and the “Overcoming Communication Challenges During Design & Construction” forum, both of which helped educate our emerging professionals on the nuances of working with the entire project team. To keep the momentum going and still keep the content fresh, we pivoted in 2020 and introduced – the Podcast. While a live format is always ideal, the current world we live in, from social distancing to limited budgets, busy schedules and demanding careers, can make it difficult to achieve. A recorded podcast also increases our audience reach. Podcasting is a format that is accessible to all, available on demand - and at no cost. An increasingly popular medium, podcasts are sought out more and more for both entertainment and professional development. As a result, EP Architalk was created. EP Architalk seeks to cover relevant topics for Emerging Professionals, all while keeping the content light, engaging and entertaining. The first episode was an interview with Ryan Gann, Assoc. AIA, At-Large Director. Ryan is clearly no stranger to the proverbial “table”, and in this initial episode the discussion centered around how YOU can get a seat at that table. In Episodes two and three, architects who use their design background to create side or alternate careers were interviewed. Scott Reynolds, founder 20

of UpCodes, created a product you may be using every day yet probably do not know how it all began. Talisha, the moderator, was also joined by guests Ellen Abraham (Architect Pins) and Zachary Goldstein, RA (self-made) to discuss how their architecture backgrounds have helped them ignite their entrepreneurial spirit and create their side businesses. The most recent episode, the “Superwomen of Architecture” was released to coincide with Women’s History month. The host sat down with Graciela Carrillo, AIA, and Sara Jazayeri, AIA, both leaders in their industry and within the AIA. The podcast received positive feedback and achieved overwhelming success, allowing it to continue through 2021 as one of the best things to come from grant funding. A one-day event is great, but we have been able to develop continuing content and build an audience following from AIA New York State and beyond. You can listen to EP Architalk anywhere you get podcasts, or on our hosting site here. The AIA New York State Emerging Professionals are excited about submitting their application for 2021.

AIA Helping Emerging Professionals with Resilience Opportunities AIA COF Component Grant 2020

by Francis Leonard T. Sinon, Assoc. AIA, AIA Marianas

he Marianas, comprised of Guam and the CNMI, are tiny islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but their small size is overshadowed by their strategic importance to our country’s national defense, as well as the regional security in the Pacific. However remote, the “island nation” was not spared from the COVID-19 pandemic. It is estimated that 38,000 Guamanians were unemployed due to the economic impact of the virus. Because of these daunting circumstances, architects should continue to be vigilant in keeping up the ideals of the profession and reinforce the value an architect brings and contributes to the struggle against and amidst the pandemic. The AIA Marianas’ A’ H.E.R.O. Awareness Campaign (AIA Helping Emerging Professionals with Resilience Opportunities) spearheaded by Francis Sinon, Assoc. AIA, was a COF EP Grant recipient last 2020. The campaign was awarded $4,000, the total amount of the grant requested. The goal of this campaign was to bolster support and understanding of the role architects play in providing optimism to the EP group through raising awareness that community outreach and education will create opportunities, opportunities will produce projects, and projects will lead to job tenure. The focus of this campaign was to market the architects through the organization and component programs. It also engaged AIA members in contributing to community efforts in battling and overcoming the virus; e.g., connecting to gov’t/ non-gov’t agencies and organization for pro bono

consultation related to effective planning and design. The campaign promotes activism and social awareness for architects that will run in a twelvemonth featured newspaper insert. This insert targets students, graduates, job seekers, industry partners and businesses. The A’HERO awareness campaign has resulted in camaraderie between EP members. It produced EP programs such as the “Huddle”, where EP members meet monthly to brainstorm content for the monthly publication. It also helped jumpstart the social media exposure of the component. Rarely does the public sees advertisements promoting what architects do or can do in the Marianas. The campaign has opened a large window of opportunity for architects through the component’s campaign that informs the public of its presence and role. Once viewers are connected to the social media page, it will be easier for them to get news and updates even when the monthly publications end. The campaign can be a model for every component to adopt. It not only engages the participation of the EPs but also promotes business for architects and firms of the component. In times of crisis like the recent pandemic, architects should lead as partners of social good. Society looks up to us because we have the skills and ability to see the big picture; we find solutions beyond solving problems and elevate the human experience. We can do this by getting the attention of our clients – who are our family, community, nation and the planet – and inform them that we are here, ready and available. 23

Associates Conference AIA COF Component Grant 2020 by Julianna Sorrell, Assoc. AIA, AIA Arizona

he 13th Annual AIA Arizona Associate Conference was hosted on February 26, 2021. The Executive Planning Committee surveyed the Associate members based across Arizona and the greater WMR region; results found that members preferred a day of programming that began later (11am-5:30pm MST). This year’s conference theme was FIELD CONDITION. A Field Condition is a formal or spatial matrix that unifies diversity while respecting individual identity. In the context of the 2021 AIA Associate Conference, Field Condition signifies the emerging professionals current exploration of architecture and design to challenge existing ideas, processes and forms and push the boundaries of creativity in an effort to identify “Fields of Action” in our profession and communities beyond. Successes & Lessons Learned Event planning took on a new meaning in consideration of COVID-19. The committee made the collective decision early on to proceed with planning a virtual-only event. This provided the stability needed to make decisions decisively and confidently. The conference and social mixer was successfully hosted through Zoom. We met with conference guest speakers and moderators prior to the event to make introductions and coordinate topics and technology. The programming took a wide range of influences under consideration and into the spotlight, among them being mental health and well-being, social design, alternative career paths and the bridge between academia, research, and professional life.

Benefits The College of Fellows Grant provided financial support that helped the committee expand the influence of the event beyond Arizona. The grant provided the opportunity to procure influential speakers and provide incentives in support of licensure (ARE 5.0 Exam vouchers and study materials) and member engagement (AIA AZ state conference and Design Awards Gala tickets). 2021 Executive Planning Committee 1.

“This mid-sized firm [Jones Studio] has received over 220 design awards recognizing about fifty projects." by Roger Schluntz, FAIA

or the first time in the History of the AIA College of Fellows, two brothers were advanced to Fellowship simultaneously earlier this year. Eddie Jones, FAIA, and Neal Jones, FAIA are also partners in the lively, somewhat idiosyncratic, and energetic firm, Jones Studio, located in Tempe, Arizona. Both friends of mine dating back to my earlier years at Arizona State University in the ‘80s, over the decades it has been a distinct pleasure to have observed the growth and success of the two brothers. Despite what might seem oddly divergent personalities but with complementary skills and interests, Eddie and Neal have achieved a highly successful, award-winning practice in the Southwest desert region of our country. In 2011 Jones Studio received the AIA Western Mountain Region’s Firm of the Year Award.

Where did you attend architecture school, and why there? Eddie: University of Oklahoma had the Bruce Goff legacy but Oklahoma State University had the School of Architecture in the College of Engineering. There was a time when I was practical… Go figure! Neal: Oklahoma State University. Because that is where my Dad said I was going. I didn’t have a choice. It turned out to be a GREAT choice! Fortunately, Eddie was ahead of me and could vouch for the superior education. From Oklahoma State, I went to the University of Illinois where I received a double master’s degree: M. Arch and an MBA. -Best career decision I ever made. How did you begin your practice?

This mid-sized firm has received over 220 design awards recognizing about fifty projects. These include the Arizona Cardinals NFL Corporate Headquarters & Training Facility, the River Legacy Living Science Center (Arlington, Texas), the ASU Beus Center for Law & Society (in association with ENNEAD), the San Luis US Land Port of Entry in southern Arizona, the earlier US Mariposa Land Port of Entry (Nogales, AZ), and the College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture at the University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ), along with numerous residences. Completed in 2016, their own office building also serves as a model of sustainability in desert environments. The firm is widely respected as one of Arizona’s most innovative architectural practices. Jones Studio website. To share with you a little insight of their background, office practice, and convivial nature and good humor shared by these new Fellows, following is a (slightly edited) interview conducted electronically with Eddie and Neal earlier this year.

Eddie: Having “moonlighted” my first residential commission, I began Jones Studio out of my spare bedroom (and on my old college drafting table) in order to build the house I had designed. It was June 8, 1979, three months before my 30th birthday. The Tatham house never won an award and it was never published but it was a milestone educational experience. Only after my brother joined the little firm did Jones Studio become a real company, now at 42 years and counting. Where did you work prior to licensing? And following before going on your own? Eddie: After graduation, I worked one year in Oklahoma City and then moved to Phoenix in 1973 to work for the oldest firm in Arizona - Lescher and Mahoney. What was your motivation to starting you own firm? Eddie: Naiveté! I was either too optimistic or too dumb 27

to be scared. But I was motivated to take responsibility and risk for my own work.

Eddie: Each year I feel I understand, a little more, the power of restraint.

Why Phoenix?

Why did you decide to let Neal join your firm?

Eddie: Sunsets, saguaros, Frank Lloyd Wright history, Paolo Soleri’s work - and it wasn’t Oklahoma.

Eddie: It was always our plan (dream) since we were kids.

Starting out in practice, what architects did you most admire, or influence your work?

Is that true, Neal? Did you have to convince Eddie?

Eddie: Wright and Bruce Goff were my heroes. As architects, they seemed to be always “becoming.” Then, Paul Rudolph and Louis Kahn got under my skin, fortunately. When did you first aspire to become an architect? Eddie: I discovered a grainy, black and white photo of Fallingwater… hooked at six years old. Neal: When I was in 3rd grade. Eddie wanted to be an architect. As his little brother, he was my idol. I did what he did. How has your design thinking grown or evolved over the last three or so decades? 30

Neal: No, I didn’t. From a very early age, we knew we wanted to work together and have our own firm someday. We were fortunate to always know our path. Our father instilled in us our “old school” work ethic that we maintain to this day. How would you describe the primary roles of the firm’s two principals? Neal: I am President and responsible for all business aspects of the firm. Eddie is the Principal-In-Charge of Design for all projects produced by the firm. But we can each participate in both and we are really good at doing that. Can your brother fire you? Eddie: Only you would ask a question like that, Roger.

Johnson Jones Residence Photo by Tim Hursley

I can’t think of any situation where Neal would fire me. Neal: No, Eddie cannot fire me. Only I can fire me. But there are times, though, I will look in the mirror and fire myself! Or give myself a good talking too! Does the older brother ever need to exert “seniority status” when differences of opinion arise? Eddie: Differences of opinion are always resolved with logic; this doesn’t require assertiveness. Neal: Eddie is six years older but, no, he has never ever exerted “seniority status.” We are in sync on everything. What do you think is the optimum size (staff) of your firm? Eddie: We are like water. We seek a level. It’s more organic than business driven. Neal: Fifteen is our sweet spot. We can do twenty in a pinch. Remaining small lets us keep a hand in all aspects of our practice. We do not impose corporate standards in our office.

Eddie: Everyone has an important job title requiring focused effort beyond each pay grade. Frequently swapping “hats” makes it fun. Neal: I am President. Eddie is Principal In Charge of Design. Jacob Benyi is a new Principal/Partner. Brian Farling is a new Principal/Partner. Rob Viergutz and Maria Salenger are Senior Associates. Rob Huff is an Associate. The other family members (we refer to the people who we work with as “family”) are Project Managers/Project Architects, Marketing Director, Studio Coordinator. Our Project Designer roles means they are on their way to licensure. We are all equal to each other here. There is no hierarchy to speak of; everyone has a say, whether it is regarding business or design. Of the two senior partners, who is most popular with the staff? …Any reason why? Eddie: I’m pretty sure they know who’s the pushover. -Gulp! Neal: Eddie is! He is way nicer, kinder, and more patient. I’m the “business guy.” That means sometimes I have to be the “bad guy.” I take the bullets… not always fun.

Does your firm have an org. chart? 31

“Our practice has always recognized responsibility in sustainable designs. It's just the right thing to do. We've always known that” Neal Jones, FAIA If you could change one thing regarding your brother’s work habits, what would it be? Eddie: Convincing Neal he is not too old to learn new technology! Neal: His addiction to watching webinars, podcasts, etc. on his computer. It’s like, “Hey Bro… time to get some work done man!” Seriously though, he is in a continuous "learning mode". He is a sponge for new information and anything architecture. I admire him a lot for that. What do you and your brother disagree about most frequently? Eddie: How much to charge clients. Neal always wins on that one.

always known that. When the coronavirus abates, do you see any permanent changes going forward in the workplace and routine at your office? Eddie: Certainly less travel for business meetings (I love Zoom!), but more travel for personal experience and education. Neal: Not really any changes. Everyone will return back to the office. Our office is designed so that we are already spaced wide apart and around our Family Table. And I am no different than before all this started last year. Does your office have a succession plan? shareholders?

-Other

Neal: Nothing! What keeps you awake at night? Eddie: Racist presidents in past years. But I sleep quite well now. Neal: Getting the next job and getting paid on time. Fortunately, we have never had an issue with getting paid on time. That’s probably attributed to not working with developers!

Neal: Yes. We implemented a succession plan in 2014. It took me a year to research it and pull all the legal paperwork together. As I mentioned previously, Jacob Benyi is a Principal/Shareholder. He will be the new “Me.” Brian Farling is a Principal/Shareholder. He will be the new “Eddie.” They are extraordinarily talented and symbolize all that is great about our firm and our firm’s unique culture. Jones Studio is in good hands as the firm moves into the future.

How has climate change affected your practice?

When did you first aspire to become a Fellow of the AIA?

Eddie: Water shortage has helped our water research and conservation ethics generate architectural form.

Eddie: One year ago, having been an AIA member for only 10 years at that time. I am thankful I did.

Neal: Not a lot because we were “green” before it was cool. Our practice has always recognized responsibility in sustainable design. It’s just the right thing to do. We’ve

Neal: Probably about 10 years ago. I was too lazy to fill out the application though. We have been subjected to peer pressure from other Fellows. I’m happy we both finally got off our ass and came to our senses.

As attaining the status of AIA Fellow is but one step in a career trajectory, albeit a significant one – what do you now intend to do to move the needle up and advancing the profession? Eddie: I hope to leverage the credibility of all Phoenix Fellows to become a resource for municipal leadership and a force in public policy.

Neal: Hank The Tank is my family’s Bassett Hound. He is huge…80 pounds and five years old. At the Jones Studio office our family pet is “Timmy the Tortoise.” He is 30 years old and has the run of the place. We also have a bird menagerie at the office, along with a pack of feral cats we feed. And our family members are always welcome to bring their dogs. Do you have any hobbies outside of architecture?

Neal: I am committed to helping my colleagues with their application process. I will participate in Arizona’s Fellows meetings and help where I can. I am available for duty, SIR!! RS: As a new AIA Fellow, how do you hope to engage other Fellows as well aspiring Fellows?

Eddie: I think hobbies, like watching sports, are a waste of time. Neal: I work in my yard every weekend when I am in town; it is my therapy. My wife and I love to travel. We have been many places around the world. Obviously,

“I hope to leverage the credibility of all Phoenix Fellows to become a resource for municipal leadership and a force in public policy” Eddie Jones, FAIA Eddie: Through reliability and trust. Neal: I have already started! I’m mentoring three of my colleagues!

last year put a pause on all our planned activities. We have several plans for this summer but it is looking doubtful again - that really annoys the hell out of me. Where/when was your last real vacation?

Do your families socialize after work? often, why? Eddie: We do family holidays together. Usually, we end up at our beach house.

Where, how Eddie: “Real vacations,” like watching sports, are a waste of time. It’s great.

Neal: …Absolutely - we are a closely knit family – lot’s of love! - and spend a lot of time together. Eddie and Lisa have a house on the beach in Puerto Penasco, Mexico. We go there a lot. We survived the wild Spring Break this past March!

Neal: San Diego in July. We go every year - every year to get the hell out of scorching Phoenix! 117 degrees gets old really fast. What do you do to relax? Eddie: I used to smoke cigars and drink wine. Now, I just drink more!

Do you have any pets? Eddit: No, but my wife, Lisa, does.

Neal: I enjoy watching documentaries and sports on TV. I love to read but don’t have a lot of time to do it. Few people know it, but I am a very good table tennis player and a decent juggler! 37

Any plans to retire?

Neal: This is the first I have ever heard about this as well. -Need more information, please!

Eddie: Retirement is for sissies. Neal: Yes! -In the next few years. Eddie will never leave though. He will keel over on to his drafting table! Were you aware that you would now be asked to contribute to COF Fund, such that the College’s missions can be sustained and enhanced? Eddie: I have never heard of the COF Fund. Neal: No one ever told me this. And maybe you are thinking about including a bequest to the College of Fellows in your estate plan? Eddie: Is this what our interview is really all about?

Thanks Gentlemen! I look forward to your membership in the Heritage Society of the AIA College of Fellows, as well as seeing you in Washington DC at the College of Fellows Investiture Ceremony in December.
