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.

CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE A Journey to Recovery

“I am honored to be your 2021 Chancellor of the College of Fellows. ”

A

John J. Castellana, FAIA

long with our esteemed Executive Committee: Roger Schluntz, FAIA, Vice Chancellor; Frances Halsband, FAIA, Secretary; and Ronald Blitch, FAIA, Bursar, and Executive Director and Assistant Director, Terri Stewart, Hon. AIA CAE and Muza Conforti, we look forward to a year of serving our College by protecting the traditions of the past interjected with new action initiatives to strengthen our institution.

Thank you to all who attended my Inauguration on 9 December 2020. Although we could not hold the ceremony in person, I am immensely appreciative of those who attended the virtual ceremony, which included former Chancellors, former AIA Presidents, a large contingent of my colleagues from Michigan, and my TMP office partners. It was great to “see” all of you and receive so many best wishes during and after the event. I was especially pleased that my family members (Barbara, Christina, Francisco and Catherine) were with me that evening to be introduced and share this extreme honor.

2020! What a year for the entire world to endure with sadness due to how COVID-19 affected so many families. Hopefully, with the vaccine now being produced in record numbers, the herd immunity that we have all been waiting for will become a reality. It cannot come too soon.

Our College leadership throughout 2020 was in the excellent hands of Chancellor Peter Kuttner, FAIA. Through his continued commitment to our college, Peter was able to steer our COF Executive Committee with passion, dedication and light-hearted cartoons that have become a trademark of his wit and unique sense of humor. Thank you to Peter and his lovely wife, Elaine, for helping all of us through this past year.

The last time our Executive Committee met in person was in December of 2019 at Peter’s Inauguration; since then we have had numerous ZOOM sessions that allowed the business of the College to continue and flourish despite the pandemic.

The Mission of the College of Fellows has guided us through many years and we are committed to enhancing that mission in 2021 as follows: Mentoring Young Architects and Emerging Professionals • We will continue our important support of awards programs to recognize outstanding achievements by individuals and AIA components.

• We also are on a mission to bring more youth to our College. We need current Fellows to encourage young architects at their firms to get involved early with 5

CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE (Continued) AIA and ultimately apply for Fellowship.

We need their passion and energy.

Promote Research and Scholarly Work • The Latrobe Prize is the major kingpin of this objective. We are committed to enhancing this program by reinforcing research that is relevant and readily useful to our entire profession.

Sustaining the College • Assuring that existing and new programs will continue to flourish is a priority.

• We are on a mission to increase the financial support of our members to allow on-going enhancements to our programs.

Currently only two-to-three percent of our +3200 Fellows contribute on a regular basis. This obviously needs to improve.

We were all looking forward to being at A’21 in Philadelphia this June to meet as a College and celebrate the 2020 and 2021 New Fellows with Investiture Ceremonies; however, COVID 19 had other plans for us. Sadly, A’21 will not happen in person but will shift to an abbreviated virtual venue.

For our newest Fellows from 2020 and 2021, please know that your Executive Committee is exploring alternatives to Philadelphia so that we can still have inperson Investitures later this year. We all remember the special day of our Investiture and elevation to the College of Fellows and we are absolutely committed to carry on this tradition for our newest Fellow classes. As soon as alternative plans are finalized, I will be sending a personal message to all new Fellows with the details. Until then, congratulations on your outstanding accomplishments. We look forward to finally being able to present your medals in person!

Along with these enhancements to our mission Enough of me….it is time for all of you to enjoy reading statements, we need to move forward with additional our first Newsletter of 2021. goals toward reinforcing the joint initiatives of AIA and COF in celebration of what architecture can do to Stay safe and well! improve racial injustice and promote a greener and more sustainable built environment. As we all realize, there is a great need to improve diversity in our profession, and the COF is committed to initiate positive actions to help make this happen. Our Executive Committee is currently exploring joint action opportunities with John J. Castellana, FAIA NOMA and other allied groups to further reinforce 2021 Chancellor these important goals.

The Inauguration of the 59th AIA College of Fellow Chancellor, John Castellana, FAIA

YAF UPDATE From the COF Executive Committee

Listening to the Young Architects Forum

by Ronald B. Blitch, FAIA

As a new member of the COF ExCom, I serve as

the Liaison to the Young Architects Forum (YAF). In this unusual year where it is only possible to meet via Zoom and other collaboration tools, we have all had to adapt to these new realities.

I spent two days in a YAF/NAC Joint Transition Meeting in the late fall of 2020 and attended educational workshops and breakouts that focused in particular on some of the ways the College of Fellows can assist the YAF in their efforts. Visioning sessions and impact analyses of the YAF’s past and future impact on young architects offered true “bluesky” potentials.

The sessions focused on assessing the YAF’s strengths, accomplishments, weaknesses, shortcomings, and opportunities related to the 2020 YAF themes: • Climate Action • JEDI • Practice Innovation And, of course, no two-day meeting would be complete without a virtual happy hour session at the end to mark the completion of a lot of hard work.

10

The Joint YAF/NAC Annual meeting was held at the end of January; there was a full agenda and introductions of key AIA staff to orient new YAF members. Monthly AdCom calls from the YAF leadership are ongoing to keep things on track, as well as monthly happy hours.

The 30th Anniversary of the founding of the YAF is also coming up, and the COF is poised to assist in this impressive achievement.

“Board of Director Visibility Network” monthly calls have been initiated, pairing AIA Board members with regional YAF Directors. These are designed to improve communication between the YAF and AIA in general, and to be sure that the YAF has advocates on the Board to advance their priorities and missions.

The energy and vitality of the YAF should be inspiring to all of us in the College of Fellows and a reminder that all donations to the COF’s funds do provide much-needed support to groups like the YAF. Please work with your COF Regional Representatives and Jeanne Jackson FAIA (Chair of the Regional Representatives Council) to support the COF, and please consider including the College in your estate

THE HERITAGE SOCIETY OF THE AIA COLLEGE OF FELLOWS At its June 2020 meeting the COF Executive Committee approved the founding of the HERITAGE SOCIETY of the AIA COLLEGE OF FELLOWS The primary purpose of the Society is to formally recognize those individuals who have demonstrated a life-long commitment to the mission and programs of the AIA College of Fellows with a revocable estate bequest.

By virtue of having included a commitment in their estate plan a bequest for the future benefit of the College and its programs, the following distinguished individuals are the initial Charter Members of the Heritage Society of the AIA College of Fellows: Ellis W. Bullock, FAIA John A. Busby, FAIA William D. Chilton, FAIA Brian P. Dougherty, FAIA Betsey Olenick Dougherty, FAIA Harry M. Falconer, Jr., FAIA L. Jane Hastings, FAIA Edward J. Kodet, FAIA John R. Sorrenti, FAIA Ivenue Love-Stanley, FAIA Frank E. Lucas, FAIA (deceased) Robert L. Ooley, FAIA Roger L. Schluntz, FAIA Jeffrey A. Scherer, FAIA William J. Stanley, III, FAIA Edward A. Vance, FAIA

Membership in the Society is conferred upon formal notification to the College of a planned estate gift with a minimum value of $10,000.

We cordially invite you to undertake a similar, revocable, commitment in your estate plan, and with that becoming a member of the Heritage Society. It’s simple to accomplish and it costs nothing!

With additional Members the future support of our programs and long-term viability of the College will be substantially enhanced and extended well into the future. For additional Information and application, please contact Terry Stewart, Tstewart@aia.com

History In 2000, then Chancellor of the College of Fellows, Robert A. Odermatt, FAIA, presented the first Spirit of Fellowship award to Leslie N. Boney Jr., FAIA, for his outstanding service and commitment to the College. Later that same year, the Executive Committee (ExCom) of the College voted to name the award after the first recipient, and thus it became known as the Leslie N. Boney Spirit of Fellowship Award.

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.

The Inauguration of John Castellana, FAIA The 59th Chancellor of the AIA College of Fellows Bloomfield Hills, Michigan

26

The 2021 COF Chancellor John Castellana, FAIA and his family (L to R) - John's son-in-law Francisco Duran, his daughters Christina Castellana and Catherine Castellana Barry, himself, and his wife Barbara Castellanarances Halsband, FAIA.

On December 9, 2020, John J. Castellana, FAIA, was virtually inaugurated as the 59th Chancellor of the AIA College of Fellows.

The Ceremony originated from John’s office in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and was attended by over one hundred sixty guests that included John’s family, former Chancellors, former AIA Presidents, AIA and College of Fellows members, a large contingent of Fellows from Michigan and John’s TMP Architecture partners.

Peter Kuttner, FAIA, the 58th Chancellor, opened the evening with a warm welcome to the guests and gave an overview of the important 2020 College activities. Peter also invited AIA CEO Robert Ivy, FAIA, and AIA President Jane Frederick, FAIA, to speak about the initiatives of AIA in partnership with the College. Jane concluded her talk by presenting Peter with the AIA Presidential Citation certificate in recognition of his outstanding service and leadership as Chancellor during 2020.

Bill Rose, FAIA, Chancellor from 1990, gave a brief invocation; he was followed by Peter Exley, 2021 AIA President, who then turned the “virtual podium” back to Peter Kuttner, who proceeded to bestow (with the assistance of John’s wife Barbara) the Chancellor Medal to officially inaugurate John as the 2021 59th Chancellor. Skipper Post, FAIA and 56th Chancellor, then offered the first “virtual toast” to John as he starts his journey as Chancellor.

John began his remarks by acknowledging the last Chancellor from Michigan, Bill Jarratt, FAIA, who served in 1982, thirty-eight years ago. He then acknowledged his family and guests and reminisced about his career and diverse opportunities with AIA and the College, culminating with being inaugurated as Chancellor. John also gave accolades to Former Chancellors Lenore Lucey, FAIA, Skipper Post, FAIA, Ed Vance, FAIA, and Peter Kuttner, FAIA, who he had the honor to serve with while on the Executive Committee.

“At every turn, we must live our values and commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion."

by Peter Exley, FAIA

In 1966, American artist Edward Ruscha generated two continuous photographic views of a mile-and-a-half section of a landmark stretch of West Hollywood, one for each side of the thoroughfare, in the seminal work Every Building on the Sunset Strip. Six years later, Yale architecture students and their professors Denise Scott Brown, Robert Venturi, and Steven Izenour replicated the exercise in the Learning from Las Vegas studio.

This book cover’s adaptation of Ed Ruscha’s Every Building on the Sunset Strip depicts some landmarks, monuments, and works of architecture present in our lives at formative moments. The process of making this drawing is one of the ways in which we explore beauty and play in architecture.

Architecture Is Fun makes everyday life fun. Our ethos is based on the idea that architecture is one of the gateways to a more empathetic and equitable future. We believe making accessible places of learning, living, working, and playing to be indispensable for human growth and development.

rchitecture Is Fun, led by Peter Exley, FAIA and Sharon Exley, MAAE, is a collaborative practice which explores the nexus of architecture education and experience. For the past quarter century this small yet successful studio has spread its influence as educative design strategists consulting with major organizations in myriad fields from museums and schools to foundations and associations on a wide range of issues but always with a long-standing commitment to build accessible places of learning living and fun that are indispensable for human growth and development. Thanks to its seminal approach to play, Architecture Is Fun has been tapped to work on a visually compelling and socially engaging host of museum, library, school, healing, community, and public space projects.

Renown collaborators, architects, and educators, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, called the studio’s oeuvre “work of significance and relevance, joy and seriousness, range and depth."

2021 Architecture Is Fun book

Architect Peter Exley, FAIA, RIBA, and educator/ designer Sharon Exley, MAAE, ASID, cofounded Architecture Is Fun as a multidisciplinary studio in 1994. Fun is an important part of the firm name and a critical part of our educative design process. The ideology – design that makes education fun and design that is fundamentally educated - is fulfilled through its participatory nature.

My friend, Peter Exley, FAIA, is also the 97th President of the American Institute of Architects. I spent some time with him (virtually) to talk about the future of the Institution and the College of Fellows.

John Castellana (JC): For 2021, what are the major challenges facing architects?

Peter Exley (PE): Ahead of last fall’s general election, the AIA published the Policy Platform 2020 outlining three of the most consequential issues we face together— healthy and equitable communities climate action 31

St. Chrysostom's Day School, Chicago, Illiniois Photo by Doug Snower Photography

and a future economy—for legislators and architects.

The word “infrastructure” appears several times in the AIA’s guidance, and I think it’s important to distinguish the vertical infrastructure of schools and hospitals, buildings for culture, and affordable housing, from the physical infrastructure of roads and bridges. Both have a place in the healthy America we all would like to see in 2021 and beyond. Both have the capacity to incentivize sustainability and carbon neutrality. Both require human capital. As architects we are well positioned to provide solutions.

JC: To meet these challenges, please articulate some important actions that you are planning on initiating in 2021?

PE: The AIA Board is a continuum, and I have the privilege of leading this year. The work we will be continuing this year with its genesis in the work of the Boards of Presidents Vonier, Elefante, Bates, and Frederick. It’s the work embedded in our strategic plan and the imperatives to catalyze equity and to emphasize

32

climate action. If there’s an additional layer that I’d like to champion this year, it is the future of architecture education. That’s work that always has a place at AIA and with our collaterals. As an adjunct professor and school administrator for thirty years alongside my practice, this is something on the front lines for me.

JC: Knowing that the AIA has a strong focus on improving social justice and to promote a more sustainable environment, please remind our readers the positive actions that AIA has already taken in regard to these issues.

PE: That's a long list. The work with systemic injustice begins by looking inwardly to dismantle barriers within all AIA systems. That includes governance, honors and awards, internal policies, et al. We are working to expand inclusiveness and diversity within the profession through K-12 and higher education engagements and advocating for effective pathways into the profession.

This will take time. Collaborations between the AIA and the NOMA Boards are one step made already.

“AIA's Climate Action Plan of 2020 categorized three important directives: Mitigation, Adaptation, and Leadership. AIA has taken steps to embed climate action in key awards and programs.”

Peter Exley, FAIA

At every turn, we must live our values and commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion. As another example, AIA will engage students in NAAB-accredited HBCU architectural programs for internship opportunities during the upcoming building renovation at 1735 New York Avenue NW which will be aligned with the 2030 Commitment.

AIA’s Climate Action Plan of 2020 categorized three important directives: Mitigation, Adaptation, and Leadership. AIA has taken steps to embed climate action in key awards and programs. In 2020 we introduced the Framework for Design Excellence criteria into all our project-based awards. Taking this further, we can train the next generation of architects by reframing and rewarding “good design” in design studios using the Framework or COTE Top Ten for Students as a learning tool. Imagine if every architecture graduate had all the fundamental tools and skillset to design a carbon zero building.

In our advocacy effort, which is robust and constant, our Policy Platform continues as a non-partisan comprehensive policy platform to address the needs of our economy climate and communities. The platform addresses climate action and crushing student debt, among many other pertinent issues that impact our work and the built environment.

JC: Our College of Fellows joined the AIA by issuing letters to President Biden urging him to rescind an Executive Order that requires Federal Buildings to include “classical style architecture.” Any updates to share?

PE: The recent success in overturning this Executive Order is a result of a year of negotiation and discussion led by the AIA advocacy team. By overturning this order, the current Administration has restored communities with the freedom of design choice that is essential to designing federal buildings that best serve the public.

This is fundamental to an architect’s process and to achieving the highest quality buildings possible.

JC: We love the name of your firm – Architecture is Fun – tell us more about the genesis of this and how you and your wife Sharon collaborate together in your studio?

PE: Architecture Is Fun defines a culture for Sharon and me, and for our clients who make a serious commitment and investment in their missions and futures. It’s a participatory, collaborative process, that ought to be fun. We are very serious about that, and it reaps rewards.

Peter Exley, FAIA has established an internationally recognized practice of award-winning architecture for children, families and communities that elevates the standards of design for learning and play environments.

He is the co-founder of Architecture Is Fun, a Chicagobased architecture design and consulting firm.

Dedicated to helping the next generation of architects Peter has also been an adjunct professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) for more than twenty-five years. Peter was elected to serve as the 97th President of the. American Institute of Architects in 2021.

Mentorship

is a critical to fostering conversations to cultivate the next generation of Architects, whether introducing young students to Architecture, aiding college students in navigating internships and graduate school, helping interns adjust to “the real world”, or fostering future leaders in their pursuit of opportunity. Mentorship is directly tied to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion- providing resources and support to those who need it most, Individuals who have had less exposure to opportunities in our profession. The past year has brought increased awareness and activism for social, political, and environmental change that has stretched and challenged what we do.

AIA is fortunate to have many successful mentorship programs around the country that have provided opportunities to empower Architects – both Fellows and emerging professionals. AIA Chicago’s Bridge Program and AIA New York’s Torch Program are two examples of highly successful programs.

In an effort to expand beyond these existing mentorship programs, and reach members who are not currently supported, our group of young architects and Fellows is developing NEXUS, a fully virtual platform – capitalizing on our newfound familiarity with online interaction.

This program aims to create meaningful dialogue between generations around topics such as work culture, professional knowledge, leadership strategies, and interacting with society at large.

We are now contacting chapters around the country to gauge interest and find individuals for a first round of participants/applicants.

NEXUS aims to have a class of 40-50 mentormentee pairs who will meet over the course of the year in a bi-monthly/quarterly format of informal evening discussion sessions. We anticipate starting this first group May 1, 2021.

An Architecture of the Earth an interview with Edward Mazria, FAIA

By Kira Gould

The Rio Grande Botanic Garden Conservatory Albuquerque, New Mexico Design Workshop © Mazria, Inc.

“During 50 years of architectural practice, I've never heard a client say they wanted an inefficient building that costs more to operate and damages the environment.”

Edward Mazria, FAIA

T

his spring, Ed Mazria, FAIA, will receive AIA’s highest individual honor, the Gold Medal. This transpires at an auspicious time for architecture and the world. The U.S. just rejoined the Paris Agreement; emissions-related policy is actively being discussed in the government; and climate-responsive design and practice are becoming normalized. I have worked with Ed for several years on advocacy around design and climate change through his organization, Architecture 2030 (I serve as a Senior Fellow) and through AIA (and its Committee on the Environment). I spoke with Ed about the state and future of the profession for ARCHITECT magazine's March 2021 issue. This is an expanded version of that conversation (which also ran in COTE news).

Kira Gould (KG): You were just awarded the AIA Gold Medal. This seems like a significant departure and a signal about how we view, practice, and celebrate leadership in architecture. Does it feel that way to you?

Ed Mazria (EM): Definitely. In January, [Archimage cofounder] Richard Buday, FAIA, wrote in a provocative article for Common Edge that we are in desperate need of a new “style” of architecture and proposed “buildings of the earth not on it” as an opportunity, evoking Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian design style.

By awarding me the Gold Medal this year, the AIA forced the issue of architecture and style into the open, recognizing that we’re transitioning toward an “Architecture of the Earth” – not just as a style, but as substance and actions – integrating existing and new architecture with the Earth’s systems, renewable resources, and energy, while protecting the planet's ecosystems and biodiversity.

KG: Some architects still balk at transitioning toward a climate-responsive “architecture of the Earth.” They say, “clients aren’t asking for it,” or “it costs more.” This is despite the fact that clients are increasingly demanding solutions that address climate and resilience factors, that the AIA Code of Ethics requires practitioners to address climate with clients, and that projects and communities face increasingly clear, costly, climaterelated risks? How do you respond?

EM: That response is a red herring, a deflection, a way to abdicate responsibility. Look, change is not easy, it requires work, education, retooling, and ... it can be threatening. There are no “additional costs” to designing responsibly. Architects have almost total design flexibility as long as a client’s programmatic requirements are met and the project is brought in on-budget.

During design, architects influence and make hundreds of decisions – siting and landscapes, building shape, orientation, location and size of fenestrations, spatial configurations, circulation patterns, structural and enclosure materials, finishes and systems, and even whether an existing building is saved and renovated or replaced – and each has environmental and cost implications. We control and are continually trading off design and cost options.

During 50 years of architectural practice, I’ve never heard a client say they wanted an inefficient building that costs more to operate and damages the environment.

KG: From your perspective, how is AIA 2030 Commitment progressing? WIth 822 signatory firms, many of them responsible for significant square footage, where do we stand?

37

EM: The comment we hear is that “just 27 firms met the 70% energy-reduction benchmark set forth by the AIA 2030 Commitment.” This is not correct! Why? Because the 2030 Challenge 70% reduction benchmark is not an energy reduction but a fossil-fuel reduction -- and there is a big difference.

To explain, the 2019 AIA 2030 Commitment Report details a 49% average energy use intensity (EUI) reduction--the actual energy a building uses regardless of the source – for buildings reported to the AIA that year. For these projects, most of the energy and emissions decisions were made in the early stages of design. The buildings tabulated in the 2019 report were designed for their energy consumption and emissions in 2017 to 2015, or even earlier.

The 2030 Commitment called for a 60% fossil fuel reduction prior to 2015 and 70% from 2015 to 2020, with the reduction accomplished by energy efficiency (measured by building EUI) and by adding onsite and/ or off-site renewable energy (up to 20% of the total reduction). This means that to meet the 2030 Challenge targets, a building's EUI would need to have a minimum 48% reduction from baseline if designed before 2015, and 56% if designed after that, with the remaining fossil fuel reduction coming from renewable energy.

So, in fact, the average 49% EUI reduction of buildings reported in the 2019 report is an incredibly encouraging sign and is why the U.S. building sector’s emissions reduction today is so promising.

KG: What should architects be doing at the local level to ensure that our sector, the built environment, meets the 1.5°C targets set out in the Paris Climate Agreement -on embodied carbon, building decarbonization, codes, or other things?

EM: The architecture community, both individually and through their national, local and state chapters, has 38

considerable influence and can promote and advocate for low to zero carbon policies, zoning ordinances and building codes.

For example, building energy codes regulate all new building designs. The AIA, with the support of Architecture 2030, successfully introduced the Zero Code Renewable Energy Appendix (a zero-carbon commercial building code standard) as part of the 2021 IECC. With many states and local jurisdictions on the IECC code system, local chapters and firms can, and are now, promoting its adoption.

With support from the architecture community, New York State and New Jersey have proposed legislation to increase the competitiveness of low carbon concrete, through a discounted rate for bids on state and statefunded construction projects – basically promoting a race to zero carbon concrete.

We can also promote infill, repurposing and renovation, instead of sprawl, tear-down and rebuilding when possible. And as important, firms can sign on to the AIA 2030 Commitment and design to meet or exceed its targets.

KG: How do you advise architects who are exploring the role that climate justice plays in climate action?

EM: We know that fossil fuel emissions and climate change impacts have a disproportionate effect on lowincome and underserved communities, which have also been hit the hardest by COVID-19. With few options and limited resources, they must contend with heat waves and heat-related occupational illness, climate hazards and air pollution, and displacement from flooding, fires, drought, and other natural disasters. These impacts will only deepen and exacerbate current injustice if the root cause of climate change is not immediately addressed.

Tackling emissions is critical to seeking a healthy, equitable future for all. Our opportunity to slow

“Today, we have a remaining global CO2 emissions budget of approximately 340 GtCO2 to retain a 67% chance of meeting the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target and avert the most dangerous aspects of climate change.”

Edward Mazria, FAIA emissions and then reverse warming is right now -- it requires urgent and sustained action.

KG: What is your position on the climate world's slogan, "net zero is not zero" and their effort to downplay offsetting as a solution (on the theory that people will always do the least they can rather than the most they might)?

A “zero-net” or “net-zero” carbon (ZNC) building definition was established just after the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement as: “the balance achieved when an equivalent unit of carbon-free renewable energy is produced (on or off-site) to offset each unit of fossil fuel energy used by a building.” The “net” balance of carbonfree energy provided a path to achieve ZNC for buildings and developments that use some form of fossil fuel energy or are unable to produce sufficient renewable energy on-site.

However, today, we have a remaining global CO2 emissions budget of approximately 340 GtCO2 to retain a 67% chance of meeting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target and avert the most dangerous aspects of climate change. To stay within this budget, we must rapidly reduce and phase out all global fossil fuel carbon emissions by 2040.

Put simply, we must now design and renovate all buildings to “zero carbon” operations standards – or buildings with no on-site fossil fuel combustion that produce on-site, or procure, only carbon-free renewable energy.

Remembering an exceptional educator Marvin Malecha, FAIA

By Peter Kuttner, FAIA

“Looking at life ... is not done from a distance; it is realized in the joyful present” From his book "To Profess", Marvin Malecha, FAIA

M

arvin Malecha, FAIA, who died May 4, 2020 after heart transplant surgery, was seventy years old. Marvin excelled as a design educator, dean, architect, industrial designer, artist, and author. He earned his B.Arch from the University of Minnesota and his M.Arch from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Early in his career he became Dean of the College of Environmental Design at the California State Polytechnic University in Pomona, and a lifelong commitment to architectural education began. After CalPoly, he became the distinguished dean at the College of Design at North Carolina State University. Following 20 years at NCSU he accepted the challenge to become President of the New School of Architecture and Design in San Diego.

Marvin extended his commitment to the building environment through his myriad activities in the

AIA, NCARB, NAAB, and ACSA. He served on the AIA Board, eventually becoming the National AIA President in 2009. He steered AIA through the worst of the Great Recession. Marvin was named Distinguished Professor by ACSA and the next year was recognized by both the ACSA, and AIA who awarded him the Topaz Medallion for Excellence in Architectural Education.

Marvin’s career influenced generations of students, young professionals, and seasoned architects. His passing was felt by many. Friends can read more about Marvin’s numerous activities, awards, and contributions through the praise given him from his schools, such as the CalPoly Pomona tribute and the North Carolina State tribute, both of which are online, as well as in the May 5, 2020 Architect Magazine article. Marvin’s influence and love spread throughout our profession.

PRAGUE. A gifted illustrator and artist, Marvin Malecha's artwork was often incorporated into college publications and products. His talent was recognized numerous times by the Amercian Institute of Architects with citations and awards throughtout the 1980s. Marvin was also the 2009 president of the AIA.

Don Stull, FAIA celebrating the legacy of a premier architect

By Peter Kuttner, FAIA

42

“He was a brilliant draftsman, a wonderful designer, and a thoughtful philosophical practitioner. He enjoyed the respect of his peers.”

David Lee, FAIA

Don Stull, FAIA was a pioneer in Boston,

both as a Black architect and a committed community advocate. He graduated from Ohio State in 1961, where he went on to earn the Distinguished Alumni Award, and then the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Don began his career at The Architects Collaborative, working under Walter Gropius and followed with work for Samuel Glaser Associates. He founded Stull Associates in 1966, quickly becoming the premier Black firm in the region, and an early exemplar of a diverse and inclusive firm. Later, Don was joined by M. David Lee, FAIA, together they formed today’s Stull and Lee Inc. I first met Don when I interviewed with him and David over forty years ago. They were returning to the office after facilitating a community meeting for their Southwest Corridor project.

Stull and Lee served as the master planners and architects for this $747 million urban swath,

which included multiple subway stations and a major linear park relinking neighborhoods.

Dressed casually in jeans, carrying presentation boards in two languages, and excited about user involvement, they exemplified a new kind of practice. Though I lacked the experience they needed back then, I was completely entranced by them living their vision of an engaged practice and a future Boston.

Don left us on November 28, 2020. His legacy in Boston includes the MBTA Ruggles Station at Northeastern University, Roxbury Community College, Boston Police Headquarters, and the Harriet Tubman House in the South End, among others, along with new generations of Black architects and a diverse cadre of designers who intersected with him as an employer, role model, and mentor.
