SUMMARY:Best Products “Tilt” Showroom (Doors Open Baltimore)
DESCRIPTION:OCT 28.  |  5:00 – 5:30 PM\nBest Products “Tilt” Showroom \nSuggested Donation: $10 \nThis presentation will dive into the history of the Best Products “Tilt” Showroom\, a lost post-modern landmark in the suburbs of Baltimore. The building opened its doors in October of 1978 in the Eudowood Plaza shopping center in Towson and immediately drew praise\, criticism and crowds of curious shoppers. This eye-popping architectural illusion was more than just a publicity gimmick; it was a surrealist-inspired work of art that sought to fuse public sculpture and architecture. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Eutaw Farm and the Creation of Northeast Baltimore - (Offering In-Person AND Virtual Experience)
DESCRIPTION:Archaeologists Jason Shellenhamer and Lisa Kraus will share the results of their six-years of field work and research in Herring Run Park\, which has uncovered the remains of one of Baltimore’s largely forgotten great estates\, Eutaw Farm. Like most of Baltimore’s homes of the rich (and sometimes famous)\, including the Carrolls of Homewood and the Garretts of Evergreen\, the history of Eutaw speaks to a wealthy white family’s rise and fall. But the archaeology of Eutaw Farm also reveals remarkable and astonishing stories about the development of Northeast Baltimore and the founding families of Baltimore\, those you may have heard of and those whose stories have never before been told. \nPLEASE NOTE: This HYPRID IN-PERSON + VIrtual EVENT is part of Doors Open Baltimore\, a citywide festival of architecture and neighborhoods sponsored by the Baltimore Architecture Foundation. If you have opted for a virtual ticket\, you will receive a Zoom link closer to the event. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS \nLisa Kraus (Ph.D.\, University of Texas at Austin) and Jason Shellenhamer (M.A.A.\, University of Maryland) are professional archaeologists with a combined 40 years of experience in historical archaeology. They are also the co-directors of the Herring Run Archaeology Project\, a free\, community-based archaeology program in Baltimore City. Since 2015\, they have conducted excavations\, research\, and public outreach at the Eutaw Farm site in Herring Run Park and the Ship Caulkers’ Houses in Fells Point. \nREGISTER FOR A VIRTUAL TICKET \nREGISTER FOR A IN-PERSON TICKET

SUMMARY:Baltimore’s Vernacular Churches
DESCRIPTION:This program is hosted on Zoom. Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact ndennies@aiabalt.com. If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance. \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present the Virtual Histories Series: 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. Hosted every Friday at 1:00 pm EST. \nTickets are donation based. We encourage you to give what you can to support BAF and Baltimore Heritage. Your support helps us make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create more virtual programs like this. \nAlong with its famous\, architecturally distinguished churches\, Baltimore retains many lesser-known but architecturally and socially interesting church buildings. Some are modest\, simple structures\, some are grander\, and probably all of them have been ignored when we think about Baltimore’s architectural heritage. If we stop to look at them\, however\, we see the evidence of Baltimore’s spatial and population growth in the years before the Civil War. They tell a tale of geographic and social mobility\, changing tastes\, and even theological change. You can see all this\, if you know what you’re looking at. \nMichael S. Franch\, Ph.D.\, is a historian\, board member and past president of the Baltimore City Historical Society\, He is especially interested in Baltimore urban growth and religious community in the early 19th century. \nView all Doors Open Baltimore programs at www.doorsopenbaltimore.org \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:AIA Baltimore & BAF Spring Lecture Series: Architecture + Social Justice
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Baltimore and The Baltimore Architecture Foundation for the 2021 Spring Lecture Series…\n\n\nCover photo: National Slavery Museum at the Lumpkin’s Slave Jail\, image courtesy of SmithGroup \n1.5 AIA LU HSW Available\, ASLA 1.5 LU/HSW \n\n\nArchitecture is a manifestation of culture. On the occasion of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary\, the AIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation 2021 Lecture Series will explore how the built environment simultaneously reflects and influences culture\, in Baltimore and beyond. Each lecture will expose how cultural values shape design. The three lectures are focused around themes with specific local resonance in Baltimore\, a city in which the arts and culture are key to community identity\, history\, and future vitality: Architecture and Identity\, Art and Architecture\, Architecture and Social Justice. Visiting and local speakers will examine and highlight the built environment and its relationship with the arts\, community initiatives\, sustainability goals\, preservation\, equity\, the vernacular\, and more\, as we reflect on how these have been shaped by design practice throughout AIA Baltimore’s 150 year history. \nArchitecture + Social Justice lecturers will speak about designing for social justice in urban and landscape projects.\n \n\nRegister Here\n  \n \nNational Slavery Museum at the Lumpkin’s Slave Jail\, image courtesy of SmithGroup \nDayton Schroeter\, AIA\, SmithGroup\, Design Principal \nDayton Schroeter\, AIA with SmithGroup will address how architecture has the power to uncover buried stories and hidden history. The African American experience is a story of disruption and lost history compounded by the transatlantic slave trade\, colonialism\, imperialism and capitalist globalization. As such African American history has been tragically distorted\, removed and/or hidden from contemporary discussions about race and Black life in America. Architecture can be a redeeming force in reconciling this loss\, reconnecting African Americans with their history and telling a more complete story of American history. \n \nDear Chinatown\, DC\, Image courtesy of The Urban Studio \nMaisie Hughes\, ASLA\, APA\nThe Urban Studio\nCo-Founder + Treasurer\, Urban Planner | Landscape Architect | Certified Arborist \nMasie Hughes will discuss a project that precedes the Urban Studio; co-Founders Maisie Hughes and Kendra Hyson piloted a 10-week environmental education program that taught high school students how to develop design solutions to some of the DC-area’s most pressing stormwater issues. The students were tasked with addressing stormwater and water quality issues in the students’ neighborhoods\, which are located in some of the most polluted watersheds in the city according to DOEE. These brilliant students developed a comprehensive landscape plan that included much-needed community amenities and green infrastructure strategies to capture and clean the stormwater on their perspective sites. The program not only inspired us to launch the Urban Studio\, it inspired us to put values at the center of our work. This presentation will discuss how values centered work can inform and transform how we practice. \n  \nAbout the Presenters \nDayton Schroeter\, AIA\, SmithGroup\, Design Principal \nDayton is a Design Principal who has championed design justice advocacy throughout his career at SmithGroup. As a leader of the firm’s Justice\, Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion Committee\, his charge is to lead design projects that address the systemic injustice that architecture and planning have perpetuated for historically disenfranchised communities of color. Leveraging his tenacious passion for design justice with authenticity and creativity\, he is currently leading antiracism efforts in design projects including an installation called Society’s Cage that sheds national awareness of the intersectional effects of racism on our society’s collective health\, safety and welfare\, as well as Lumpkin’s Slave Jail\, also known as the “Devil’s Half Acre\,” an interpretive museum in Richmond\, Virginia. \nMaisie Hughes\, ASLA\, APA \nThe Urban Studio\, Co-Founder + Treasurer\, Urban Planner | Landscape Architect | Certified Arborist \nMaisie brings decades of leadership and management to her practice. As a 2018-2019 Leadership and Innovation Fellow with the Landscape Architecture Foundation\, she brings honest and unvarnished insights to provide a framework for people-centered design. Maisie won the National Capital Area Chapter of the American Planning Association 2016 Fredrick Gutheim Award for Distinguished Leadership by a Professional Planner and the 2014 Award of Merrit for the “Citizen Advocate Handbook”. Maisie is an ISA Certified Arborist\, with an Executive Certificate in Nonprofit Management from Georgetown University\, a Master of Landscape Architecture degree from Morgan State University\, and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Afro-American studies from Howard University. \nThank You To Our Generous Sponsors!\nMajor Sponsor \n\n\n \n \n \n \n  \nSupporting Sponsor\n\n  \n \n  \n                                               \n \n \n \n \n \nCapitol Sponsor \nShaw \nCorinthian Sponsor \nGWWO Architects \nJames Posey Associates \nMueller Associates \nMurphy Dittenhafer Architects \nMohawk Group \nNorthpoint Builders \nPotomac Valley Brick & Supply \nSite Resources \nSTV Inc. \nIonic Sponsor \nAPA Maryland \nAmerican Cedar & Millwork \nAmes & Gough \nBudova Engineering \nCianbro \nCraig Gaulden Davis Architects \nDoubleEdge Design \nHope Furrer Associates \nMorabito Consultants \nMoseley Architects \nPella Mid-Atlantic \nPlano Coudon \nQuinn Evans \nSouthway Builders \nSuzanne Frasier\, FAIA \nT3XTURE \nZiger|Snead \n\n\n  \n \nThis project was made possible by a grant from Maryland Humanities\, with funding received from the Maryland Historical Trust in the Maryland Department of Planning.

SUMMARY:2021 AIA Baltimore & BAF Spring Lecture Series: Signal Station North: On Light and Visibility in Baltimore City
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Baltimore & The Baltimore Architecture Foundation for a Lunchtime Lecture.\n\n\nPhotograph Courtesy of Merrell Hambleton \nArchitecture is a manifestation of culture. On the occasion of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary\, the AIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation 2021 Lecture Series will explore how the built environment simultaneously reflects and influences culture\, in Baltimore and beyond.

For the past year and half\, Signal Station North\, a project of the Neighborhood Design Center\, has sought to understand the nightscape of the Station North Arts District through analysis\, observation\, activation and conversation. We’ve learned that light can be warm and welcoming\, but also aggressive; that it can invite us in or keep us out; and that at its best it can make us feel safe\, secure\, and at home. Through a history of light in Baltimore and insights from the Signal analysis\, research\, and engagement process\, this talk will explore how light impacts our neighborhoods—and how neighbors can impact light in their places.  Learn More About Signal Station Here \nRegister Here\n  \nAbout The Presenter \n \nMerrell Hambleton leads Signal Station North\, an NEA-funded project to plan for\, invest in\, and improve access to high-quality lighting in the public realm. As Program Manager for the Neighborhood Design Center\, Merrell supports implementation and design-build services\, including a forthcoming Designer-in-Residence program that will activate key green spaces in East Baltimore neighborhoods. Prior to her work with NDC\, Merrell produced pathbreaking public art projects with NY-based nonprofit Creative Time and artist Stephen Powers.

SUMMARY:2021 AIA Baltimore & BAF Spring Lecture Series: Art + Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Join AIA Baltimore and The Baltimore Architecture Foundation for the 2021 Spring Lecture Series…\n\n\nCover photo: United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum (Diller Scofidio + Renfro) \n1.5 AIA LU\,  1.5 LA/CES LU Available \nArchitecture is a manifestation of culture. On the occasion of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary\, the AIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation 2021 Lecture Series will explore how the built environment simultaneously reflects and influences culture\, in Baltimore and beyond.

Speakers will discuss globally renowned cultural projects and museums\, and local art and culture in Baltimore. \n\nRegister Here \n\nBenjamin Gilmartin\, AIA of Diller Scofidio + Renfro\, will discuss how the studio’s significant cultural projects were acts of conservation\, adaptation\, and radical rethinking for contemporary use.  With the transformation of the Lincoln Center for Performing Arts campus and the recent MoMA expansion\, DS+R sought to preserve the original DNA of two of New York’s most iconic modernist projects\, while opening up and democratizing these traditional citadels of “high art.” The recently completed US Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs remediates an industrial brownfield area at the edge of the city center\, to both revitalize the downtown core and build one of the most universally accessible museums in the nation. \n \nCara Ober\, Founding Editor and Publisher of BmoreArt will address artist and museum culture and the way they intersect and collide\, assessing how this impacts art communities and establishes hierarchies of value. \nAbout the Presenters \nBenjamin Gilmartin \nBenjamin Gilmartin joined Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) in 2004 and became a partner in 2015. Ben led the redesign of Alice Tully Hall\, multiple public spaces within the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts campus\, and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive at the University of California\, Berkeley. Most recently\, Ben completed the United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum in Colorado Springs\, hailed as one of the most accessible museums in the country. He is currently leading multiple projects in London\, including a 5 kilometer-long public space network at Greenwich Peninsula. In addition to completing DS+R’s first building in Australia at the University of Sydney\, Ben is also currently co-leading the design of a facility for MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning in Cambridge and a major tech headquarters in the Pacific Northwest. \nCara Ober  \nCara Ober is an artist\, arts writer\, curator\, and the founding editor and publisher at BmoreArt\, Baltimore’s art and culture magazine. She writes regularly about artist\, museum\, and material culture\, with emphasis on context and subtext in the art world. \nIn 2019\, she was awarded a Rabkin Art Writers Grant and was commissioned by the Warhol Foundation to write “Artspeak and Audience” for Common Field’s Field Perspectives Series. In addition to her regular writing and editing for BmoreArt\, Ober has published articles in Vulture: New York Magazine\, Hyperallergic\, Burnaway\, Art Papers\, ARTnews\, and The Baltimore Sun. Cara has taught classes and lectured at MICA\, Johns Hopkins\, American University\, UMBC\, and Goucher College. \nShe holds an MFA in painting from MICA and a degree in fine arts from American University. Over the past decade\, Ober’s critical reviews\, essays\, and interviews have explored the political and economic impact of the arts in Baltimore and the way artists maintain a professional practice and thrive in a city full of rich and diverse cultural traditions as well as serious social issues. \n  \nThank You To Our Generous Sponsors!\nMajor Sponsor\n\n \n \n \n \n  \nSupporting Sponsor\n\n  \n \n  \n                                               \n \n \n \n \n \nCapitol Sponsor \nShaw \nCorinthian Sponsor \nGWWO Architects \nJames Posey Associates \nMueller Associates \nMurphy Dittenhafer Architects \nMohawk Group \nNorthpoint Builders \nPotomac Valley Brick & Supply \nSite Resources \nSTV Inc. \nIonic Sponsor \nAPA Maryland \nAmerican Cedar & Millwork \nAmes & Gough \nBudova Engineering \nCianbro \nCraig Gaulden Davis Architects \nDoubleEdge Design \nHope Furrer Associates \nMorabito Consultants \nMoseley Architects \nPella Mid-Atlantic \nPlano Coudon \nQuinn Evans \nSouthway Builders \nSuzanne Frasier\, FAIA \nT3XTURE \nZiger|Snead \n\n\n\n\n \nThis project was made possible by a grant from Maryland Humanities\, with funding received from the Maryland Historical Trust in the Maryland Department of Planning.

Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact ndennies@aiabalt.com. If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance. \nVirtual Histories are back in 2021! The Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present a series of 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. \nTickets are donation based. We encourage you to give what you can to support BAF and Baltimore Heritage. Your support helps us make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create more virtual programs like this. This presentation is also co-hosted by the AIA Baltimore EQUITY Committee and the Maryland Chapter of ASLA.\n \nAs part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Baltimore Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA)\, we are hosting conversations with trailblazing architects in Baltimore\, discussing their impact on the profession and our communities. To cap off Women’s History Month\, we are featuring Kathleen P. S. Sherrill\, AIA\, NOMA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, the first (and only) African American to serve as president of AIA Baltimore in 2012 and AIA Maryland in 2016. Kathleen founded the AIA Baltimore’s Women in Architecture Committee in 2012 (now EQUITY Committee) who are co-hosting this event. \nKathleen will highlight her work along the Pennsylvania Avenue corridor\, Maryland’s only designated Black Arts and Entertainment District\, as well as touch on several other projects in different areas of Baltimore\, including Edmondson Village\, Hampden\, Upton and Reservoir Hill.  In highlighting these projects\, she will call on the needed leadership development of the professional community. She firmly believes that architects should challenge themselves to play a key role in improving and supporting Baltimore’s underserved neighborhoods. Guiding communities to invest in themselves and the next generation through ownership. Raising awareness of what a community can become through revitalization\, not gentrification. Helping residents discover “pride of place” in where they identified as home. It’s critical to the survival of these communities and our city. \nAbout Our Presenter \nKathleen founded her firm of SP Arch Inc. in 2005 with former partner Mahendra Parekh (who retired in 2008). It offers a broad array of planning\, architectural design\, and landscape architecture services. In 2011\, Kathleen was awarded both Top 100 Minority Business Enterprises in the Mid-Atlantic Region and outstanding alumni by the School of Architecture and Planning at Morgan State University (MSU). She has served as a guest lecturer at MSU and as an adjunct professor teaching Management\, Practice\, and Law. In 2017\, Kathleen helped establish the local chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) and served as its first president. She enjoys mentoring aspiring architects through her office and leadership roles. www.spa-corp.com \nIntroducing Kathleen Sherrill is Jillian Storms\, AIA\, who co-chaired the Women in Architecture Committee with her and went on to lead the Early Women of Architecture in Maryland project\, culminating in a traveling exhibit and extensive programming for which she received BAF’s Roger Redden Award and Preservation Maryland’s Volunteer Award. She currently serves as co-chair of BAF’s research committee\, the Dead Architects Society\, and continues to highlight the stories of women’s achievements in the design profession. \n\n\nRegister Here

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. For our showcase\, we are encouraging architects\, engineers\, general contractors\, landscape architects\, urban planners\, and artists to submit projects and designs that broadly speak to community health. From the urban planner who designed new bike lane routes throughout the city\, to the landscape architect’s healing garden for children\, to the contractors bringing the adaptive reuse vision to life\, to the architect’s design of community schools bringing to life one’s vision of academics and healthcare access coming together under one roof- everyone brings their own idea of a healthy environment and how to create it. \nWhat you can look forward to: The AIA Baltimore Health & Wellness Committee is interested in bringing members of the design community together with a BRAND-NEW forum to showcase their designs with peers\, while also being afforded the opportunity to observe the creative work of others. On this night we will come together to celebrate our successes\, share best practices\, strategize solutions\, and discuss adaptation. To ensure our committee and community members maintain their health\, this year’s event will be held virtually. Break out groups will be created\, with 5 submissions in each\, coupled based on a common underlying theme. This will allow for more intimate conversation and a deeper dive into each project. \nCost \nPresenters: $25 for AIA Baltimore and MD ASLA members; $45 for non-members. \nAttendees (those not presenting): FREE for AIA Baltimore and MD ASLA members; $20 for non-members. \nSubmissions: We are seeking submissions from the design community for projects that speak to the idea of a healthy city or a healthy environment. The promotion of good health comes in so many shapes and sizes; we want to celebrate them all! \nEligibility: Projects must have been designed or constructed within the past 3 years (2018-2020). Projects may be of any size or value. \nFormat: Slides (in PDF format)\, maximum of 4. Slides are due to AIA Baltimore by August 19th.

On the occasion of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary\, the AIA Baltimore and Baltimore Architecture Foundation 2021 Lecture Series will explore how the built environment simultaneously reflects and influences culture\, in Baltimore and beyond. Each lecture will expose how cultural values shape design. The three lectures are focused around themes with specific local resonance in Baltimore\, a city in which the arts and culture are key to community identity\, history\, and future vitality: Architecture and Identity\, Art and Architecture\, Architecture and Social Justice. Visiting and local speakers will examine and highlight the built environment and its relationship with the arts\, community initiatives\, sustainability goals\, preservation\, equity\, the vernacular\, and more\, as we reflect on how these have been shaped by design practice throughout AIA Baltimore’s 150-year history. \nOur first lecture will explore the overall theme and how architecture and the built environment are directly influenced by cultural values. It will examine this through the lens of community-based design initiatives nationally and projects specific to Baltimore. \nWatch Full Lecture On Youtube \nStephen Luoni\, Associate AIA\, Director of University of Arkansas Community Design Center will address public-interest design and its role in producing public goods\, the very definition of what it means to be a professional. Placemaking platforms in housing and food will be discussed through urban design projects underway. \nArchitects are asked with greater frequency to solve for complex public-interest problems\, or “wicked problems” with multi-variate challenges characterized by social complexity. The University of Arkansas Community Design\, a teaching office with professional staff\, has developed building blocks for a new ecology of the city. A repertoire of eight placemaking platforms triangulates public policy\, best practices\, and design in agricultural urbanism\, missing middle-scale housing\, context-sensitive street design\, development-oriented transit\, watershed urbanism\, and low impact development. Our focus on expansive problem-solving through new design tools and pattern languages address the public good in addressing the grand challenges that enlarge the design professions. \n \nGreenmount West Bright Lane: Community Design Workshop \nBecky Slogeris\, Associate Director at the Center for Social Design at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) will present Made You Look: Design as if People Mattered. \nThe Center for Social Design at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) is dedicated to demonstrating and promoting the value of design in advancing equity and social justice\, and to inspiring and preparing the next generation of creative changemakers. In July 2018\, a team of students and staff at the Center launched Made You Look\, an ongoing initiative to create a safer Baltimore for pedestrians and bicyclists. In collaboration with community stakeholders and the support of Maryland Department of Transportation\, Made You Look aims to make Baltimore a safer place for pedestrians and bicyclists by increasing visibility on two levels: (1) raising the visibility of individuals walking or biking in the city and (2) making local safety concerns visible to policymakers. \nAbout the Presenters \nStephen Luoni \nStephen Luoni is Director of the University of Arkansas Community Design Center (UACDC) where he is the Steven L. Anderson Chair in Architecture and Urban Studies and a Distinguished Professor of Architecture. UACDC is one of a few university-based teaching offices in the United States dedicated to delivering urban design work. His work at UACDC specializes in interdisciplinary public-interest design combining ecological\, urban\, and architectural design. UACDC has developed several place-making platforms to shape civic design and public policy\, including work in missing middle housing\, agricultural urbanism\, transit-oriented development\, context-sensitive street design\, watershed urbanism\, and low impact development. \nUnder his direction since 2003\, UACDC’s work has won more than 175 awards for urban design\, research\, and education\, including Progressive Architecture Awards\, American Institute of Architects Honors Awards for Regional and Urban Design\, Charter Awards from the Congress for the New Urbanism\, American Society of Landscape Architecture Awards\, Environmental Design Research Association Awards\, American Architecture Awards\, and the international LafargeHolcim Awards. \nLuoni directed production of the center’s books: Houses for Aging Socially\, Conway Urban Watershed Framework Plan\, and Low Impact Development: a design manual for urban areas—which has been translated into Chinese. His work has been published in Architectural Record\, Landscape Architecture\, Progressive Architecture\, Architect\, Places\, and in international journals. He was appointed a 2012 United States Artists Ford Fellow. Luoni has a BS in Architecture from Ohio State University and a Master of Architecture from Yale University. \nBecky Slogeris \nBecky Slogeris is Associate Director at the Center for Social Design at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA)\, where she brings MICA students together with outside partners to advance equity and social justice through design. Her work touches many of the most pressing challenges in Baltimore – from hearing healthcare for older adults to underage drinking prevention\, reproductive justice for women to smoke free homes\, HIV stigma to pedestrian and bicyclist safety. She is a graduate of MICA with a BFA in graphic design and an MA in Social Design. \nQuinton Batts & Vilde Ulset are Associates at MICA’s Center for Social Design and graduates of the MA in Social Design program. As leads of the Center’s Made You Look initiative in collaboration with the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) Highway Safety Office\, they work to equip communities with the tools needed to create safer places for pedestrians and bicyclists. \n  \nThank You To Our Generous Sponsors!\n\n\n\nMajor Sponsor\n \n \n \n \n  \nSupporting Sponsor\n\n  \n \n  \n                                               \n \n \n \n \n \nCapitol Sponsor \nShaw \nCorinthian Sponsor \nGWWO Architects \nJames Posey Associates \nMueller Associates \nMurphy Dittenhafer Architects \nMohawk Group \nNorthpoint Builders \nPotomac Valley Brick & Supply \nSite Resources \nSTV Inc. \nIonic Sponsor \nAPA Maryland \nAmerican Cedar & Millwork \nAmes & Gough \nBudova Engineering \nCianbro \nCraig Gaulden Davis Architects \nDoubleEdge Design \nHope Furrer Associates \nMorabito Consultants \nMoseley Architects \nPella Mid-Atlantic \nPlano Coudon \nQuinn Evans \nSouthway Builders \nSuzanne Frasier\, FAIA \nT3XTURE \nZiger|Snead \n\n\n\nThis project was made possible by a grant from Maryland Humanities\, with funding received from the Maryland Historical Trust in the Maryland Department of Planning.
