SUMMARY:Spring Garden Party: The English Garden City Movement and its Influence in Baltimore
DESCRIPTION:Register here to join AIA Baltimore’s Historic Resources Committee for a spring garden party! \n  \nThe Historic Resources Committee will be hosting Charlie Duff for a discussion of the English Garden Cities movement and how it influenced development in Baltimore.  This event will be held as a Garden Party in a prime example of this trend: Edgevale Park\, a hidden gem in Roland Park that was developed in 1913 based on the cottages of the English village architecture. \nCharlie Duff is a planner\, teacher\, developer\, and historian. Since 1987\, Mr. Duff has been President of Jubilee Baltimore\, a non-profit group that has planned some of Baltimore’s most successful neighborhoods and built or rebuilt more than 300 buildings. A graduate of Gilman\, Amherst\, and Harvard\, he has been President of the Baltimore Architecture Foundation and has participated in numerous civic initiatives. His book The North Atlantic Cities was published in the UK in 2019 and is now available in the US. \nThis garden party will take place outside in Edgevale Park\, weather permitting. Snacks and drinks will be provided. \nThank you to our generous Garden Party sponsor:

SUMMARY:Estuary Urbanism: An Interdisciplinary Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 10\, 2024\n8:30 AM – 6:30 PM\nThe Center for Architecture and Design\n100 West Fayette St.\nSuite P-101\nBaltimore\, MD 21201 \nFREE  \n[REGISTER HERE] \nAbout this Event: \nIn the fall of 1985\, an interdisciplinary panel sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)\, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)\, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) met to exchange views on the history of ecological change within the Chesapeake Bay. The directive to the speakers was simple –– How might humankind learn from the past in order to protect and restore our natural resources for future generations? Fast forward nearly 40 years\, Estuary Urbanism has a similar intention –– inviting scientists\, humanists\, designers\, managers\, and engaged citizens –– to share long-term perspectives and valuable lessons motivated by natural events\, human activities\, and climate change. Although the discussion will be focused on the Chesapeake\, we hope the insights gained will be applicable to estuaries across North America and the world and the communities that dwell within them. The symposium will conclude with a narrated boat tour within the greater Port of Baltimore\, highlighting the privately and publicly owned marine terminals comprising it\, how these facilities operate\, and the depth of their importance to the local\, state\, regional\, and national economies. \nASLA LACES approved (full symposium 7 PDH|HSW\, morning or afternoon only 2.5 PDH|HSW\, boat tour 2 PDH|HSW). \n4 AICP CM credits approved.  \nRegister for the FULL symposium or MORNING (AM) or AFTERNOON (PM) sessions. See the full schedule below. Registration for the FULL symposium includes breakfast and lunch; the MORNING session includes breakfast and the AFTERNOON session includes lunch.

SUMMARY:Through a Glass Darkly: The Social History of Stained Glass in Baltimore
DESCRIPTION:Among its many architectural treasures\, Charm City has an abundance of stained-glass windows dating back to the 19th century.

SUMMARY:Artist Talk - Alberto Cavalieri
DESCRIPTION:Catalyst Contemporary and the Baltimore chapter of the American Institute of Architects partner to present sculpture by Alberto Cavalieri at the Center for Architecture and Design. The works on display come from Cavalieri’s series of twisting and elegant “Knots.” In solid cast iron and fabricated\, modular aluminum these knot sculptures take viewers on a journey through the beautiful potential of Cavalieri’s elegant forms and into the context of the much larger-scaled possibilities of architecture. \nAIA Baltimore is excited to exhibit Alberto Cavalieri’s works to promote dialog about form\, materiality\, and construction and\, on a deeper level\, the artist’s use of knots in response to the built environment of his native Venezuela. \nJoin AIA Baltimore and Catalyst Contemporary in conversation with Alberto Cavalieri Thursday\, August 3 from 6-7pm to discuss Minimalist construct principles\, an art making process that marries computer-aided design and traditional metal working and finding inspiration in abandoned promises. This talk will be recorded and the recording will be made available to all registrants. \nRegister for free here.

SUMMARY:The AIA Baltimore Health & Wellness Committee’s 7th Annual Design Showcase
DESCRIPTION:The AIA Baltimore Health & Wellness Committee will be hosting its 7th Annual Design Showcase- Good Design=Good Health. \n[REGISTER HERE]\nThe AIA Baltimore Health & Wellness Committee will be hosting its 7th Annual Design Showcase- Good Design=Good Health on Wednesday\, March 1st\, 2023 from 6-8 PM. This exhibition is intended to be a fun way for architects\, engineers\, urban planners\, interior designers\, contractors\, and others to show the local community how they have been creating healthy spaces. The goal of this exhibition is to showcase designs that promote health and wellness in a variety of ways. \nThe theme of the showcase\, Good Design=Good Health\, paints a broad stroke of healthy design. Cities and communities that foster healthy living\, mental well-being and social connectedness don’t just happen. It takes forward thinking and innovative designers to create spaces that elevate a community’s way of life.

SUMMARY:Preservation for the People: The Fight for Development Without Displacement
DESCRIPTION:Photo of Sonia Eaddy by Charles Cohen/Poppleton Photo. \nDate: September 29\, 2022\nTime: 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM EDT\nLocation:\nMICA Brown Center/ Falvey Hall\n1300 Mt. Royal Ave Baltimore\, MD 21217 \n[REGISTER HERE] \nAbout this event\nAfter an 18-year fight to save her home from condemnation by Baltimore City\, Sonia Eaddy won. The historic Sarah Ann Street alley houses will be preserved and offered for homeownership after being rehabbed by Shelley Halstead of Black Women Build. However\, the story of redevelopment in Poppleton illustrates how Baltimore City failed to see and hear the people of this historically Black neighborhood along the Highway to Nowhere. Working with residents on research\, public programming\, and organizing to amplify the stories of legacy residents fighting for development without displacement\, we were able to achieve a reset on a misguided redevelopment project underway since 2004. The City’s stance is that we cannot change the past and must move forward in good faith. As a cultural historian and preservationist\, I argue we must honor and remember the past and how we got here in order to do the hard work to repair and make amends for the damage done to Black neighborhoods and people in Baltimore. We need real change on how development works in Baltimore and cities like it. \nAbout the Speaker\nNicole King\, Ph.D. is an associate professor in the Department of American Studies and director of the Orser Center for the Study of Place\, Community\, and Culture at UMBC. Her research focuses on issues of place\, power\, and economic development.

SUMMARY:Direct Dimensions: Leveraging 3D Scanning Technologies to Document AEC Existing Conditions
DESCRIPTION:About this event\nAdoption of reality capture as the best way to achieve existing conditions documentation is growing every year. Even if you’re not employing it yourself\, chances are someone associated with a current or future architectural project is. This course will teach the basics of how the equipment works\, and how reality capture and the digital twin is being utilized today in nearly every stage of a construction project as well as where it’s going in the future. The instructor will also discuss integration with other emerging tech like drones\, VR/AR\, 3D printing\, and CNC machine fabrication. Attendees will receive 1 AIA CEU credit. \nWith over 20 years of 3D laser scanning experience\, Joe Nicoli\, Manager of AEC Services at Direct Dimensions Inc.\, has been a pioneer in the field of three-dimensional as-built building documentation. From the first portable laser scanning systems\, to the latest in Wi-Fi-controlled high-speed instruments\, Joe has been on the cutting edge of 3D data collection since the beginning. Today\, Joe leads the AEC Laser Scanning team at Direct Dimensions. With his extensive background in historical preservation and laser scanning\, he often lectures to a wide variety of architectural\, engineering\, and preservation groups. \n[REGISTER HERE]

SUMMARY:Baltimore’s Highway to Nowhere: A Forum on Reconnecting Communities
DESCRIPTION:The Highway to Nowhere is a lasting remnant of past efforts to connect Interstate 70 with Interstates 83 and 95 around Baltimore’s Central Business District. Largely uncompleted\, only a 1.4-mile stretch of Route 40 was constructed\, resulted in the demolition of homes and businesses and the displacement of approximately 1\,500 residents of West Baltimore. Roughly 50 years later\, the Highway to Nowhere remains as both a physical and scar in the community dividing large swaths of West Baltimore that were once connected. \nWith this event\, AIA Baltimore’s Urban Design Committee wants to provide stakeholders a platform and to honor to see and present ideas that have already been developed over the years. Featuring fast-paced Pecha Kucha style presentations\, the speakers will discuss past and ongoing grassroots organizing efforts\, development opportunities\, academic work focused on the Highway to Nowhere\, planning studies\, and Baltimore City’s current efforts to obtain federal funding through the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program. Presentations will be followed by a question and answer session and then time for informal discussions. Drinks and light snacks will be provided. \n  \n[REGISTER HERE]
