WEST REGION CORNER
By Stephen Nash, West Region CSI Director
In my last West Region Corner I urged everyone to vote in favor of amending the Institute bylaws to create a single “Professional Member” classification. I’m really pleased the membership classification revision has passed. Proof, no doubt in the bully pulpit power of the West Region Corner! Now the Professional Member, Industry Member, and Associate Member classifications are combined to create a single class of voting members, titled Professional Member. The Intermediate Member is reclassified into “Emerging Professional Member” to better associate it with professionals just entering the construction community. Emerging Professional Members have all the rights and privileges of Professional Members, except that they shall not be eligible to vote in Institute elections and not be eligible to hold elective Institute office. This new structure firmly establishes equality amongst our voting members and provides a more affordable option to young professionals to become acquainted with the value of CSI membership. CSI’s other membership classifications (ex. Student, Retired) are not affected. Please note
that your chapter should review their bylaws as many chapter bylaws have provisions tied into the old membership classifications. The Institute will soon have updated model chapter bylaws available for chapters looking for assistance.

CURMUDGEON CORNER
Etched
I n Stone by Sheldon Wolfe, RA, FCSI, CCS, CCCA What is the value of a signature? More to the point, what is the value of a “wet” signature? Although some states have taken steps to modernize the requirements for certification of construction documents and other legal documents, others are mired in practices that haven’t made sense for a long time. Of those states that allow something other than a manual signature to certify documents, some allow only software encryption, while others allow a facsimile of a signature. The result is a mix of methods, requiring design professionals to verify requirements for each state. To make things more interesting, states and local agencies are inconsistent in the way they interpret or use state statutes. WHAT REALLY MAKES SENSE? IS A WET SIGNATURE NECESSARY? WHAT DOES IT PROVE? The history of wet signatures is nearly as old as writing. Centuries ago, when few people
AUGUST
could read or write, laws allowed a person to sign a contract merely by making an “X” or other mark. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that many documents were explained in terms not used in the documents, then used against those who “signed” them, the argument being that they agreed to the terms, even though they could not read them. Those laws are still with us, and remain subject to abuse. Despite what is permitted by statutes, many architects and engineers refuse to make use of alternative methods of certification, and insist
Federal and state governments not only approve, but encourage the use of both electronic and digital signatures.
2011
documents were produced from an original with a wet signature. Heck, I could have done the same thing years ago with old-fashioned cut-and-paste. Consider a document that has a wet signature. Unless you were present when the document was signed, you can’t tell if it had been signed by the person whose signature you see, or by someone else. So what does it prove? Should we take it a step further, and require notarization? Then we would have a signature, and a notary seal. But does that really prove anything? Not really; all it would prove is that a person with proper credentials - which might have been forged - signed the document. It reminds me of a M*A*S*H episode, when Radar asked the colonel to sign a document, then initial his signature to show that he signed it. ELECTRONIC AND DIGITAL SIGNATURES
on manually signing documents. If wet-signed documents are required by statute there is no point in arguing, but when facsimile signatures are acceptable, there is no reason to continue using wet signatures. With today’s technology, I can go to the builders exchange, get a certification page, create an image of a signature, and put that signature into another document. After copying or printing, it will be virtually impossible to tell if copies of the new
The terms electronic signature and digital signature often are used interchangeably, but there is a difference. To make it interesting, each state has its own definitions, and rules for how they are used, while the federal government has definitions and rules that apply to interstate commerce. In general, an electronic signature is any electronic thing that is used to show that Continued on page 11 Ð 8
AUGUST
CURMUDGEON CORNER Continued from page 10 Ð the intent the person who uses it is to sign a document. In common definitions, it can be a symbol, a process, or even a sound. In many cases, the symbol is a facsimile of the person’s signature, reproduced as an electronic image, typically a jpg image or an electronically reproduced document bearing a “real” signature. Most of us use a form of electronic signature without thinking about it; any time you use an ATM or pay a bill online, you are using a process that indicates you agree to making that particular transaction. In contrast, a digital signature is a form of encryption that can be used not only to verify the origin of a document, but to indicate if the contents have been changed. In practice, it is more “real” than a wet signature. For example, someone could alter the content of a fifty page paper document without much trouble, and with little chance of detection, as long as the page with the signature was left intact. Although technically possible, it is extremely difficult to break the encryption and alter a digital document. Digital signatures would appear to be the best certification method, but I doubt that many firms have the necessary software. Even if encryption were used, it’s likely that many recipients would be unfamiliar with it, and would insist on “real” signatures. Use of both electronic and digital signatures is essential for today’s commerce. If we still relied on wet signatures, there would be no ATMs,
eBay, or credit cards. We would be required either to appear in person, or to send paper documents with wet signatures (which are easily forged) for every purchase and bank deposit. Not quite what we’ve become accustomed to! Federal and state governments not only approve, but encourage the use of both electronic and digital signatures. The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) states that “electronic” means form, and that a contract or signature “may not be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form”. The Government Paperwork Elimination Act (GPEA) required federal agencies to use electronic forms, electronic filing, and electronic signatures to conduct official business with the public whenever possible. A practical result many of us enjoy is electronic filing of our income tax returns, if anything related to the IRS can be considered enjoyable. CERTIFICATION OF CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS Given the widespread acceptance of electronic signatures, requiring wet
2011
signatures for construction documents simply doesn’t make sense. Beyond that, the statutes that govern certification of construction documents vary widely from one state to another. Of the states I have worked in, most have a single licensing board for all design professionals, but one has one board for architects and another for engineers and surveyors. In that state, the governing statutes are similar, but not identical. Some states require the use of a seal, while others allow an electronic image of the seal. Some require wet signatures, others do not. Some require that all drawings be signed, while others allow signatures to appear on only the cover page. All accept a single certification page for project manuals. When wet signatures are required, the number of copies required, and the purposes for which they are required vary. As if that weren’t confusing enough, interpretation can vary within a state. I think we’re making progress, but until you know what is required, find the applicable statutes, and then ask the agencies you’re working with what they require. © 2011, Sheldon Wolfe, RA, FCSI, CCS, CCCA, CSC.

Summertime is traditionally for lighter reading and so it will be with this BuchNotes. 50 Buildings You Should Know by Isabel Kuhl fits this category very well since it is largely a book of architectural photos combined with capsule commentary on each building. The author, an art historian based in Barcelona, presents the buildings, “you should know”, not necessarily the ones most important in the history of architecture.
Angor Wat
It’s an unusual list and an interesting one since it includes several buildings that aren’t usually included in traditional surveys of the history of architecture. In addition to many familiar buildings, important in the history of architectural styles, it also presents several that have mostly historical, rather than architectural significance. Among these are the Hradcany in Prague, Angor Wat, Castel Del Monte, the United States Capitol, and the Kremlin. Of those with architectural significance three of the most interesting are
the National Stadium in Beijing, (the Bird’s Nest), the Jewish Museum in Berlin, and Philip Johnson’s Glass House. The book is curious in several respects. It lacks any information on the author. I think it’s good to know something about the author to fully appreciate a book. It also doesn’t have an introduction, or preface, or forward, so there’s no clue to the author’s purpose in writing the book Continued on page 11 Ð 10

When you’re selecting only 50 buildings from the hundreds of potential candidates around the world, it’s easy to find 50, but why this group? Additionally, in the capsule description of each building there’s no mention of the architectural or historical thread that links each building to the others. The descriptions do provide the historical significance of each building but only a few include very much on their architectural significance.
For an architect with any recollection of architectural history, the book will probably not provide too much new information. What it does provide is an opportunity to revisit many

On Saturday April 9, 20011, Eric Lloyd was recognized by the Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Directors and named a 2011 BOARD DISTRICT 1 COMMUNITY TRAILBLAZER. Marguerite P. LaMotte, Board of Education Member, District 1, presented Eric with the award for his contributions and “unrelentingly support” of youth in the greater Los Angeles area. It wasn’t long after the catastrophic 2010 Haiti earthquake that Eric felt he had to find some way to help. Three million people on the tiny island were affected by the 7.0 magnitude quake. Nearly 100,000 lives were lost, countless people were injured and estimates were that 1.5 million Haitians were now homeless. Eric’s response to the tragedy started modestly when he decided to donate a box or two of his own unwanted clothing to Haiti. Mentioning this to his customers, many decided to join the effort and donate even more. It wasn’t long before Eric

had a full-fledged clothing drive on his hands and needed help to sort, fold and box all the clothing that had been collected. With the permission of the Los Angeles Unified School District, Eric reached out to the Johnny Cochran Middle School’s after school program and in no time, had an army of student volunteers ready to lend a hand. Eric organized the day into an event, buying the student volunteers pizza while giving them each gift of making difference in the lives of the less fortunate. Fifty boxes of good usable clothing were donated and shipped to Haiti as a result of Eric’s charitable actions.. NOTE: Eric is a past Member of the LACSI Board of Directors. 14

IN MEMORIAM
ANNAMARIA CLARK FIRST LADY of LACSI during the terms of President of Clifton H. Clark 1980 --1982. Annamaria was very active with the LACSI Complementary Corps LACSI Complementary Corps For those who may not be familiar with the LACSI Complementary Corps (CC’s), the CC’s were primarily the wives whose husbands were active in LACSI. The CC’s contributed their time and talents to the Chapter by volunteering in tasks of almost any type: helping out with clerical work, odd jobs and duties as needed. Each year they organized and hosted a fund raising event with proceeds of the party providing scholarships for two students pursuing studies in architecture or construction management.
Born in Trieste, Italy December 27, I928 to Mario and Maria Raldi, Annamaria grew up in Italy and attended the University in Trieste. Working for the American Military, her first job was with the office responsible for the movement of goods from the port in Trieste to the American occupation troops in Austria. At the request of her girlfriend, Annamaria reluctantly agreed to teach Italian to an

American soldier. The soldier turned-out to be her future husband, Clifton Clark. The two were married November 15, 1948 in Trieste, Italy. Annamaria came to the United States as a War Bride in May 1950. Her husband Clifton was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army and the two purchased an automobile in New Jersey and toured the area, then drove across the country to Indiana. Annamaria and husband had already decided they would settle in California where three brothers and two Uncles of Clifton lived and where work was plentiful. They drove across the country arriving in Los Angeles on July 12, l950. They moved into a beautiful apartment in Huntington Park and Annamaria found work as secretary to the Sales Manager of a large company (Budget Pack). Annamaria and Cliff both worked, studied, and traveled until 1959 when their first daughter, Lisa, was born. Annamaria THEN elected to become a stay-at-home mother. Larry, Annmaria’s son, was born three years later in 1962. During her years raising her children, Annamaria volunteered countless hours at the Cathedral Chapel Elementary School, Notre Dame Academy and Daniel Murphy High School. She also devoted many hours to supporting her Church and other charities. Annamaria and Cliff were married 62 years until the Lord claimed her in January 2011, at the age of 82. She will always be loved, remembered, and honored by her husband Cliff. May God have mercy on her soul.
