2024 DESIGN AWARDS

PRESENTING SPONSOR

Moritz and I became friends after he and the Pastor from the Unitarian church hired HDG to do some work at the church. After buying the house that he had designed on 17th avenue a year or so later, we started having coffee every week or so.
That turned into visiting him more often, especially when I needed advice. He was a brilliant man, a brilliant Architect and an amazing friend. Having Moritz in my life was one of the greatest gifts that I have ever received.
I miss him dearly and still find myself driving to his place out of habit. I will spend my life aiming to be half the man, and half the designer he was.
To encourage excellence in all types and areas of architecture, the Spokane Chapter of the American Institute of Architects announces its Design Awards Program for 2024. Through the program, the Chapter seeks to honor works of distinction by its members and to bring public attention to outstanding architectural services rendered by its members.
Thursday, April 11 - Collaboration with 1AEC
1.5 LU/HSW
This speaker panel will explore the importance of art in the built environment and how to go about including it in your projects. This panel brings together the team involved in planning, designing, and executing the new SFCC Fine Arts Building. This project is not only a space to learn and to create art but incorporates art into the building itself, as a custom-made curtain wall facade by artist Jill Anholt of British Columbia.
Lecture: Thursday, April 18 at 5:00p
1 LU/HSW
Sketching techniques and tips to enrich concept design collaboration. During the conceptual phase it is critical to use visualization tools that allow the client to comfortably engage in critical review of the many design iterations. Quick sketches, pen and ink drawings, and watercolor washes are easy to produce and help build quick understanding.
Urban Sketching: Friday, April 19 at 9:00a
1 LU/HSW
Participants will learn new methods of sketching during the architectural design process. This workshop explores the belief that hand drawing is not an obsolete skill, that drawing allows us, as architects, to develop a natural grace in the way we design our projects and engage the world around us.

Interior Tech provides consulting services early in the design process, for fire separation, emergency egress and smoke control. Interior Tech works with architects, engineers and building officials to maintain the design vision while ensuring building code compliance. We also act as advisers for building retrofits and provide options for building owners and users regarding changes to their current security/life safety designs.
Interior Tech also provides and installs several operable glass wall and door solutions that can be seamlessly integrated with a project design, leveraging the ease of flexibility at the simple touch of a button.
Through the use of McKeon’s Model T2500 - vertical-acting fire doors with integral swing door egress, Architects West was able to keep the corridors completely clear, open to the side walls. And the normal application of IBC Section 1019.3 would have required the top of the stairway on third floor to be enclosed with a fire wall, (see photoshopped photo) but the use of McKeon’s three hour rated T2000 allowed the stair entry to be clear of obstruction with no walls blocking the view or the entry.
At the Maletis Beverage Headquarters in Portland, OR the kitchen and outdoor beer hall are connected by two hydraulic bi-fold Crown doors that create such a seamless transition between indoor and out that when open these two spaces function as one, promoting interaction. The Hydraulic Bi-Folding System opens vertically, allowing smooth, quiet access between environments with just the press of a button.
Ian has delivered numerous complex, awardwinning projects on time and within budget, including large mixed-use developments, civic and institutional work, campus buildings and master planning, affordable housing, and community led advocacy and policy projects. This diverse range of pursuits is bound by a process that engages the deeper underlying context of a project, focused on how broader societal and cultural influences can be translated to inform the built environment.
Ian is an active member of the academic, visual arts, and design communities, having contributed to numerous exhibitions, publications, and events. He has taught design studio at the University of Southern California, Washington University in St. Louis, and Arizona State University, and has served as an invited design critic for a number of additional academic institutions.
He has lectured internationally; contributed to publications, panels, and research journals for institutions such as the Getty Research Institute, the Arid Lands Institute, and the Milken Institute; and is currently a Visiting Artist at the Cranbrook Academy of Art.
