I Am A Member Of The American Institute Of Architects (AIA) Because... I want to connect with like-minded professionals who share related goals and interests in our community and beyond! AIA gives us the common ground to come together and learn from one another. I see so much potential for Las Vegas and I want to do my part to help further improve the city, helping it become a staple sustainable community in the desert.

I attended Washington State University (Go Cougs!) to obtain my undergraduate degree, but then having a strong passion for urban design and tall buildings, I moved to Chicago and obtained my Master of Architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). Having been in Las Vegas for over nine years, it’s now the city I’m proud to call home. Being a part of Gensler for over five years, and as an Associate, I get the chance to collaborate with great talent every day in not only our Las Vegas office but offices worldwide.

I am very excited to be taking on the role of the AIA Las Vegas Emerging Professionals Director for the upcoming term. I have always had a strong interest in the architectural community and love meeting new people in the city. I look forward to further promote our profession among the community, make connections as well as connecting others in our industry. Next year, EPYAF will be focusing on increasing career development including project tours, firm crawls, network events and more. We also plan to coincide some of these events with the local AIAS chapter at UNLV, where we can encourage leadership not only among young architects, but emerging and future architects currently working on their degrees or licensure. I want to help connect young architects in Las Vegas through our common goal of achieving design excellence.

As with many people, I’d like to think my past has helped mold me into who I am today. Being brought up on a farm in central Washington state, I learned the value of good work ethic, teamwork, and how important it is to meet deadlines at an early age. When the crops are ready, they’re READY and you better be quick to get everything harvested by the time that thundercloud approaches. I knew I wanted to be an architect from an early age and always had a wanderlust to travel to any city and explore. Coming from the wide-open fields and walking into a dense urban environment was a whole other world for me, and I wanted to be a part of it! Now that I’m a licensed architect, I enjoy coming into work every day and collaborating with amazing talent to help better our built environment. I now work on amazing projects inside and outside of Las Vegas, focusing on urban and tall building design, master planning, and hospitality design. When I’m not working away, one of my favorite things to do is do yardwork and landscaping in my backyard. As my dad likes to say, ‘You can take the boy out of the farm, but you can’t take the farm out of the boy.’

What is the most important thing you’ve learned? Be Confident! A little confidence goes a long way when you are creating, presenting to clients, or really anything in life! I’ll be honest when I say I have times of self-doubt when a certain task gets too hard. I’ve learned to step away, go for a walk and take a breather to try and clear my mind. Upon approaching the task again, I almost always have a clear direction or path ahead. Confidence helps us keep going if things don’t quite work out the first time, and it helps us move forward with new opportunities. Always believe in yourself and you’ll be surprised at what you can achieve!

What is your favorite piece of architecture? Why? The John Hancock Center in Chicago. The way the structure of the tower is expressed on the perimeter and the tapering of the tower that help brace the tower against the wind loads is fascinating to me. It’s such a powerful building when you’re in its presence, and to think how revolutionary it was during its construction in the 1960’s, yet still such a great statement today shows how timeless it is.

What person, living or dead, would you most like to talk with? Relating to our industry, I would have to say my thesis professor from IIT, Peter Land. He really challenged me, and I believe I learned some of the most valuable insights to design from him. His studio focused on sustainable long-span and high-rise architecture, believing that architects need to address renewable resources and energy conservation in a world where fossil fuels are diminishing. He would always gladly take the time to sit and have conversations about design, his experiences and we would explore methods in which our studio projects could harvest energy to be self-sufficient. I was saddened to hear of his passing in 2020.

How do you think the profession will evolve in the next 5-10 years? Resiliency in design and construction will be more important in the next few years. We all keep hearing about renewable energy and finding sustainable ways to power our buildings, but it will become more important to find ways to achieve carbon neutrality. We can only truly achieve this if we remove the embodied carbon used in constructing buildings, as well as the emissions related to using buildings.

I AM AIA LAS VEGAS MEMBER SPOTLIGHT 2
WELLBE BARTSMA, AIA

AIA LAS VEGAS PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

It is with great honor and gratitude that I am back for 2023 to serve another term as your AIA Las Vegas President. As a chapter, we ended the year moving forward financially in a positive direction. We focused on The Business of Architecture with several successful in person events including our 48th annual golf tournament, the Learn About/ Turn About Product Show, a new event our Top Golf Tournament, and a well-attended Mock Trial for our members. I want to take this opportunity on behalf of the Board to thank John Sawdon, AIA for many years of dedicated service to the AIA Las Vegas Board and for his leadership as President during 2022. John will be continuing his service as the President of the AIA Nevada Board in 2023 and I look forward to the governance he will provide to the AIA chapter of our great state of Nevada.

For everyone who attended the AIA Nevada Design & Service Awards Gala at the Four Seasons, I first introduced to you the theme for 2023: DESIGNING THE FRAMEWORK FOR ADVOCACY. I told the attendees how in September of 2022, I had the privilege of representing AIA Las Vegas in Washington D.C. with 250 local business owners with the Vegas Chamber and Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance. For me it was an awakening to what we as Architects, Engineers, Contractors, Owners, and Owners Reps can and must do in terms of advocacy. Both AIA national and AIA Las Vegas have made advocacy part of a statement of our values. Over the course of 2023 our member meetings will highlight each of the committees represented in our chapter and how we align with the following values listed by National:

• We stand for equity and human rights

• We stand for architecture that strengthens our communities

• We stand for a sustainable future

• We stand for protecting communities from the impact of climate change

• We stand for investing in the future

• We speak up, and policymakers listen

I left Washington D.C. realizing that we have a voice in policy when we speak up and go to the table. I know that as individuals we have differing opinions on politics, but that is not our focus, Policies are the focus.

As I close this first letter of the year, I want to thank all of our sponsors who you will find listed throughout the newsletter. Each of you make a difference and allow AIA Las Vegas to provide our members; FAIA, AIA, Associate AIA and Allied AIA members the quality programs and events we look forward to each year.

Let us all make 2023 a successful year! May we enjoy each other’s company, and may we choose to create a better, stronger, and more equitable and sustainable society with AIA Las Vegas.

I look forward to seeing each of you in the coming year at our member meetings and events.

Sincerely, James Horvath, AIA

Pet Portraits at the Government Center Rotunda Gallery

What is it about our pets? For people of all ages and walks of life, pets fill a special place in our families and daily lives. They bring us joy, affection, peace of mind, compassion, and eventually heartache when they cross the rainbow bridge. Most of all, they bring us their irresistible, abounding love. This exhibition offers an opportunity to share our pets with others.

Exhibition: November 20,2022 – January 19, 2023

Some people wear weather-inappropriate clothes, but this guy has taken it to a whole new level.

Reminds me of me in junior high--always out of sync with the current fashion. When bell bottoms were cool, all I had were straight leg Toughskins jeans from Sears. The next year I showed up to school with bell bottoms only to discover everyone was now wearing baggies. One year, my mom made me a super awesome disco shirt that I couldn't wait to wear the first day of school, only to show up and find all the cool guys wearing "Disco Sucks" t-shirts. I never wore that shirt again after that day. Tragedy.

Visual imagery and written language share historical points of intersection: from early image-based alphabetic symbols, to medieval manuscripts, to the development of the printing press and mass use of typography, finally appearing in Modern Art around the turn of the 20th century. Seeking to extend the technique of artmaking, Modern Artists pushed the understanding of Art beyond formalistic boundaries. New frontiers for creative expression were opened, paving the way for art to evolve through contemporary genres such as pop art, conceptual art, and street art. In visual art today, words and alphabetic symbols are commonly used independently as graphic visual elements, or to illustrate ideas such as irony, meaning, narrative, enigma, or humor. We invite artists to submit artwork that includes text as a stand-alone or as a contributing element. Works across a broad range of mediums in both 2D and 3D are encouraged.

Marginalized communities in Florida’s Miami-Dade County are disproportionately impacted by rising temperatures linked to climate change. In general, low-income areas typically get up to 14 degrees hotter than their more affluent counterparts, which causes myriad problems. The county took a bold step—hiring the world’s first chief heat officer. See how civic leaders across the U.S. are partnering with architects to design sustainable, equitable, economical solutions that benefit everyone.

AIA's Blueprint for Better campaign is a call to action for AIA members, architecture professionals, civic leaders, and the public to transform the practice of architecture to achieve a zero-carbon, resilient, healthy, just, equitable future for everyone.
