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 Call to Action

PHOTO BY PAT STEWART

“Paying it Forward"

A

Edward A. Vance, FAIA

s my year as Chancellor draws to a close, I am reminded of how fortunate we are to be part of this extraordinary group of individuals that continues to give back to the profession and the Institute that has given us so much in return. For me, our members are truly the unsung heros of the College. Their annual contributions to our Fund allow us to fulfill our missions of supporting scholarly work through the Latrobe Prize and mentoring our next generation of emerging professionals through our initiatives which include the Young Architect Award honorariums and our Emerging Professionals Grants.

I am grateful to those members who have made significant donations in the past, especially our Legacy Donors. These individuals cumulatively donate $10,000 or more over successive years or make a bequeathment to the College of Fellows Fund giving at the highest levels. Achieving Fellowship is a call to action and is a significant mark of every member’s contribution to the profession, to our Institute, to the public good, and to the value and standing of architecture and architects in our global community.

This call to action begins with financially supporting the College—an organization dedicated to advancing the practice and profession of architecture through research and mentorship. This charge goes out to

every member of this year’s class of Fellows and to those with many years of knowing the importance of achieving Fellowship and to generously give back to the College.

Next month, I will pass the baton on to Peter Kuttner, FAIA who along with Vice Chancellor John Castellana, FAIA, Bursar Roger Schluntz, FAIA and Secretary Frances Halsband, FAIA will form the 2020 Executive Committee. I could not have been more fortunate to serve with these servant leaders and can assure you without a doubt that the College is in excellent hands for the next four years. These fine individuals along with Regional Representative Chair Jeanne Jackson, FAIA and our new Newsletter Editor Yu-Ngok Lo will serve the College and our 3,200 members world wide with excellence and I ask you to help them in every way you can so that WE can continue to achieve our missions with pride.

Happy Holidays,

Edward A. Vance, FAIA 2019 Chancellor 5

REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE CHAIR’S MESSAGE Doing More

“TO OUR REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVES” Ronald Blitch, FAIA and Jeanne Jackson, FAIA It has been a pleasure to work with all of you for the last three years to advance the mission of the College and try to re-vision the Regional Rep program.

Three years ago, the Regional Rep program needed some freshening to respond to current methods of volunteering and service by our reps. The program has been simplified with the College assisting the reps with their needs for Fellowship development in their Regions, emerging professionals mentorship, and supporting the stewardship goals of the ExCom of the College. We also have had strong support from the ExCom and AIA to host Regional Rep meetings at the annual AIA Conferences which have been well attended and very productive. I am being succeeded by a very good friend and hard worker - Jeanne Jackson FAIA, who I know will move the Regional Rep. program forward to make the College better and of even greater service to our profession. Please offer any suggestions you have to Jeanne and get involved!

Ron Blitch, FAIA, FACHA 2019 Chair | COF Regional Representatives 6

As we move forward into 2020, Ron, our esteemed ExCom of the College and I will actively seek greater involvement from members of the College to advance our 3 missions; promoting research and scholarly work, mentoring young architects and emerging professionals, and sustaining the College. Sustaining the College is the crux of our overall mission since it involves advancing new Fellows and building the COF Fund and allows us to achieve Missions 1 & 2. Many of you may not realize that so few of our Fellows actually contribute to the COF Fund – only about 3%! Therefore, we intend to be more aggressive in pursuing regular financial commitments from all of you in the coming year.

We are also planning to create a bank of resources, tools and ideas to help you mentor your local colleagues. These resources will be useful for mentoring emerging professionals as well as those seeking elevation to the College. I am so looking forward to getting to meet more of you over the next three years and creating lasting friendships with you!

KID ARCHITECT A New Children's Book

By Gary Vance, FAIA 10

“The first in the Kid Architect series”

A

n insightful and unique children's book about architecture has recently been authored by Fellow Gary Vance.

The first in a planned series, “Kid Architect Goes to Columbus, Indiana”, is a hardcover book oriented to children from ages 5 to 95.

The content provides exploration, critical thinking and S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Architecture, and Mathematics) concepts in a fun, casual format for schoolaged children from Kindergarten through high school. Future books will follow the fictional character “Kid Architect” around cities, places, buildings, universities and public art in locations throughout the United States (and possibly beyond!).

One of the primary goals of the book is to introduce design and architecture to young children in a fun and appealing way through the adventures of Kid Architect. Many children do not have personal interactions with an architect, so Kid Architect serves to help them learn and understand what an architect and other design professionals do. An additional goal of the book is to make the design and architecture

professions accessible to all minorities, and as a result, Kid Architect is not a specific gender, race, color, creed, or ethnicity. The book—and Kid Architect—are designed so the reader can see themselves as the narrator during the exploration and adventures of architecture and public art and see the world around them in a new light.

Written by a former elementary school teacher, the S.T.E.A.M. activities take the content of the book a step further by providing thoughtful hands-on challenges that illuminate the text.

Using ordinary and everyday objects, children are presented with open-ended challenges directly related to the topics in the book to inspire their creative problem solving and critical thinking skills.

Editor's Note: Copies of the book can be purchased direct from the author at the website.

Frank Lucas, FAIA In Memoriam

By Thompson Penney, FAIA 12

“Frank Lucas, FAIA was an architect’s architect, a leader’s leader, and a gentleman’s gentleman.

Who would NOT wish TO BE as he?”

Raymond "Skipper" Post, FAIA

T

here are few times in one’s life when you feel as though you are in the presence of a truly great and special person. Even more rare is when you are blessed to have such a person as a dear friend. I first met Frank in 1968 when I applied for a job with him while I was in high school. He hired me when I was 17 years old and during the ensuing half century he became not only an incredible mentor, but a terrific business partner. As Frank, Edith and the girls would say, I was the son he never had. He was my mentor, partner, dear friend, brother and father all rolled into one.

Our unusual and unique relationship was recognized by both close friends and by leaders in the architecture profession from all across the nation. The week of his passing, I received countless e-mails from friends of Frank and Edith all across the country expressing their condolences. One was from Raymond “Skipper” Post, former president of the American Institute of Architects and former Chancellor of the AIA’s College of Fellows.

Frank was a man with a great sense of humor always quick with a witty saying, like “you can’t fry ice", a funny story that he could somehow immediately recall, or a timely joke. All were

always accompanied by his contagious laughter and his big smile that could open both doors and hearts. He was full of love and caring for everyone, no matter what.

Two weeks ago, during a visit with Frank at the nursing home, I was focused on helping him with his dinner and intently trying to hear every word he spoke. He kept telling me something, but I was having a hard time hearing him. With a tinge of frustration in his voice, he raised his very soft voice and I finally heard him. He said, “please help him”. The man sitting across the table from him was having a difficult time opening a can of coke. So I shifted my focus from Frank to the man and helped him.

Although Frank himself was not having an easy time, he was not so self-focused that he would EVER overlook helping a neighbor.

Frank was a talented artist and admirer of all beauty in the world. He always had a sketchbook close by and his manner of sketching reflected the man - soft, deliberate, thoughtful and full of light. And as no surprise, the subject was often that of his beloved Clemson Tiger. He was an incredibly gifted architect in every respect - design, construction and business a combination of all three in one person that 13

is unusual in our profession. He was also an extremely generous man, always giving of his time, his talent and his treasures.

He was a role model for me in many respects but this may have been the most meaningful aspect of his mentorship because it was not about architecture but about giving of one’s self for a truly rich life. Frank was always the sage mentor. No matter what the question or issue, he had the wisdom and good judgment to offer advice that could lead YOU to an answer.

He never told you what to do, but gently guided you to your own solution. And if there was ever a seemingly impossible conflict to resolve, he would simply say, “If you can’t make a friend, for heaven’s sake don’t make an enemy!”

By all counts he was a successful man - as a husband, a father, grand father, and greatgrandfather, as a brother, and as a businessmanNONE to the detriment of the other. Not too long ago Frank and I were seated together at a funeral of a mutual friend. As the preacher read the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, I quietly

wrote them down because they so reminded me of my dear friend sitting next to me…

“To laugh often and love much to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived …

--- this is to have succeeded.”

My dear friend and partner, Frank Lucas… has truly succeeded in life…and we all will miss him dearly.

- Thompson Penney, FAIA

Editor's note: The AIA and the College of Fellows lost one of its brightest stars earlier this year. Frank Lucas was a highly influential member, having a career that spanned half a century and included leading the College as Chancellor in 2007.

The previous is the edited eulogy given by 2003 AIA President Thompson Penney, FAIA at his service. For the full obituary, please click here.

FeedBack

BSA/AIA Mentorship Program

By Gabriela Baierle-Atwood, AIA 16

“As Steven Spielberg said, "The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves."

"FeedBack was an opportunity to work on creating ourselves together.”

Mentor Claudette L’Huillier, AIA Senior Associate at Arrowstreet

How can we as a profession encourage organic mentoring relationships to take place?

months, a mentee might have made long-lasting connections with one, a few, or all five mentors.

In answering this question, the Emerging Professionals Network (EPNet) of the Boston Society of Architects (BSA/AIA) launched a new mentorship program, called FeedBack.

Once paired, mentees are responsible for contacting their mentors, and coordinating the time and place for their meetings. The setting is up to each pair: lunch, coffee, office visit, or any other casual and appropriate outing that both mentor and mentee can agree on. After the program ends, it is up to each participant to build upon the foundation set by the initial meeting.

As the largest young architect committee within AIA New England, the EPNet runs programming grounded in mentorship, knowledge and networking that is free and open to the public. With a network that is 2,500 professionals strong, the goal to create a program for the AEC industry that facilitated the exchange of ideas across all stages of the profession became a significant part of the work of co-chairs Gabriela Baierle, AIA and Christopher Moyer, Assoc. AIA. The FeedBack program provides a framework for meaningful mentoring relationships to take shape.

It connects each mentee with five mentors, and proposes a framework for each pair to meet at least once throughout a five-month period. Each participant gets to know at least one person per month, which allows for a more varied understanding of the professional landscape. At the end of five

A meaningful aspect of FeedBack is that mentees are encouraged to mentor up. The informal outline, combined with the breadth of participants and the number of meetings, empowers emerging professionals to be active participants in the act of mentoring. As mentor Chris Johns, AIA explains, “the program encourages camaraderie and transparency in a mentor/mentee relationship that you may not have at your current firm. So it’s exciting to help elevate the profession by sharing openly about business lessons learned, financial management and metrics, helpful project management tips, and navigating a career in architecture.”

For 76 years, AIA Michigan and the Michigan Architectural Foundation have been hosting our AIA Michigan Mid-Summer Conference on Mackinac Island at the magnificent Grand Hotel.

For those of you who may not be familiar with Mackinac Island, it is located between the Lower and Upper peninsulas within Lake Huron and adjacent to Lake Michigan. No motor vehicles on the island – all transportation is by walking, horse drawn carriages and bicycles! It is a spectacular place and our AIA Michigan members have been so fortunate that this has been our “home” the first weekend in August for this many years.

AIA Michigan's Mid Summer Conference Mackinac Island, MI By John Castellana, FAIA 18

“The 76th Annual Mid Summer Conference was held this past August on historic Mackinac Island. Architects, designers & contractors gathered to celebrate the positive impact that the design and construction industries are making in Michigan."

John Castellana, FAIA

The Grand Hotel commands a beautiful setting high on a bluff overlooking the Straits of Mackinac and the stately Mackinac Bridge. The Grand was built in 1887, boasts the longest porch in the world at 660 feet in length, contains 397 rooms (are unique – no two are alike) and was designed by architects Mason and Rice from Detroit. Today Gene Hopkins, FAIA (former AIA President) and his partner Tamara Burns, FAIA (Hopkins Burns Design Studio in Ann Arbor) are the current architects of the Grand and have created wonderful enhancements to the hotel while protecting its rich history and legacy. Every year, the conference attracts architects and allied professionals for business and social activities. The three day event combines relevant architectural presentations and tours and each evening always culminates with a “Grand” reception on the beautiful

porch followed by dinner in the equally impressive dining room. It is traditional that AIA national officers attend this conference. This past August, Peter Exley, FAIA attended – Peter will be inaugurated in 2021 as AIA President. It was especially gratifying to have Peter in attendance as I will be Chancellor the same year as his presidency and it gave us a chance to get to better know each other.

Hopefully this tradition will continue next August with Jane Frederick, FAIA (2020 AIA President) and Peter Kuttner, FAIA (2020 Chancellor) to also be in attendance to interface with architects from Michigan and experience this special setting. On behalf of AIA Michigan, we look forward to welcoming them to the Island, perhaps playing some Bocce, but definitely toasting them on the porch and at dinner!

The COF Fall Meeting Minneapolis, Minnesota

By John Castellana, FAIA

“In late September, the COF ExCom journeyed to Minneapolis for our fall meeting. This was especially fitting for our Chancellor Ed Vance, FAIA as Minnesota was where he grew up and returning back to his roots was indeed special!"

John Castellana, FAIA

We were honored to be joined by members of AIA Minnesota where the ExCom hosted a welcome reception at their new headquarters location. It was gratifying to meet many Minnesota Fellows and their guests and have a chance to socialize and collaborate together.

A highlight of their office location was an outdoor terrace overlooking the Mississippi River and the vibrant downtown area. This location includes an abundance of diverse new residential developments interspersed with many warehouse structures that had 21

been adapted into exciting urban housing with wonderful amenities and views. Our meeting agenda for the following two days consisted of regular business items with an emphasis on the following major discussion topics: • Peter Kuttner, FAIA, who will be inaugurated our new Chancellor in December, presented an update on venues for the College at the Los Angeles A’20 Conference – mark your calendars for 14-16 May 2020!

• Roger Schluntz, FAIA (Bursar) reported on the financial aspects of the College and our

current emphasis on fund raising to allow COF to continue its great work with: • Mentoring young professionals through the Young Architects Awards program and Emerging Professionals Component Grants.

• Focus on research through the Latrobe Prize (to date, since the inception of the Latrobe Prize 20 years ago, $1 million has been awarded to a diverse group of research teams).

Fellow's Reception • Sustaining the College through increased contributions so that we can continue and enhance the above missions.

• John Castellana, FAIA (Secretary) presented the updated “Call for Bursar Nominations” that are due by February 4, 2020 – refer to this edition of the Newsletter for detailed information.

• Terri Stewart (our COF Executive Director) and Ed Vance, FAIA presented an update of the College of Fellows enhanced web site through the AIA KnowledgeNet – wonderful improvement!

• Ed Vance, FAIA provided an update on the 2019 Latrobe Prize and John Castellana, FAIA gave an update of the recent Upjohn Jury deliberations.

• As part of our focus on sustaining the College, we have been in regular contact with our COF Regional Representatives to have them lead an effort within their regions to encourage more active participation with the College through contributions – this effort is being jointly led

by Roger and John. As you may know, AIA National is embarking on an exciting Strategic Planning initiative called the “Big Move” – Terri has been active with this and was able to give the ExCom an interim update.

Ed Kodet, FAIA, from Minneapolis and former Chancellor in 2010, graciously hosted a session at his office that included presentations by the architects and landscape architects of the Walker Art Sculpture Garden. Following this, we had a delightful walking tour of the Garden (right across

The IRA Charitable Rollover lets you make an immediate impact on the lives of emerging professionals.

AIA College of Fellows

32

Here’s how it works: If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can rollover up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to support the College Fund. You won’t be taxed and it counts against your required minimum distribution.

Best of all - it’s easy!

Contact us or your IRA plan administrator to request an IRA charitable rollover (qualified charitable distribution) directly to the AIA College of Fellows. Have your IRA plan administrator include your name and The AIA College of Fellows on the memo line of the check.

Notify Terri Stewart (tstewart@aia.org) of your gift.

Please include the name of your IRA plan administrator.
