On board the train was photographer Paul Fusco\, who during the journey photographed the many bewildered mourners paying their final respects. A cross-section of American society—Black and White\, city-dwellers and country folk—all stared at the slowly passing train. \nWe hope you’ll join us to hear photographer Rein Jelle Terpstra talk about his project to search for the reverse photographic perspective: pictures and films made by the bystanders that stood along the railroad that day. Here\, the mourners do not merely play a role in someone else’s pictures\, but are the photographers and filmmakers themselves. With their cameras\, they gazed back at the train and recorded it in their own fashion. On his research trips\, Terpstra visited almost all of the places that the funeral train passed through in an effort to track down people who took photographs of the train passing. This project is entirely based on memories\, snapshots\, home movies\, and sound\, recorded by bystanders standing along the tracks that day. \nThe project was on show at the Museum of Modern Art\, San Francisco\, in Les Rencontres D’Arles (France 2018)\, the International Center of Photography (New York City 2018) and the Nederlands Fotomuseum\, Rotterdam (2019). \n  \nAbout the Speaker: \nRein Jelle Terpstra teaches fine arts and photography at Minerva Art Academy\, Groningen (NL). After a residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten (Amsterdam)\, he began investigating the relationships between perception\, memory and history by making slideshow installations and books. His work is held in various collections\, including the collection of the SFMOMA (San Francisco)\, MoMA Library (New York)\, EYE Film Museum (Amsterdam)\, Nederlands Fotomuseum (Rotterdam)\, The Royal Museum of Arts (Brussels)\, Yale University Library (New Haven)\, and the Getty Research Institute (Los Angeles). During the spring of 2017\, Terpstra undertook a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship in Washington\, D.C. to work on the subject of this lecture.

SUMMARY:Celebrating Culture and History Of Baltimore Through The Evolution of Space
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our 3rd and final Lunch Lecture as part of the 43rd AIA Baltimore/BAF Spring Lecture Series\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. \nBaltimore is one of the oldest cities in America. Its development and neighborhoods are not only an impression of its past but a reflection of its present and future. Today\, many of our present spaces and buildings pay homage to the many years of life\, people\, and culture that preceded this moment. The Frederick Douglass- Isaac Myers Maritime Park\, the Chick Webb recreation center in the Perkins/Somerset/Olde Town redevelopment project\, and the Pennsylvania Arts District are examples of the evolution of how that culture is expressed in community development. \nOn its face\, it may seem that these are extremely different\, but they both represent pivotal points\, and the importance of the African-American presence\, commerce\, culture\, and development of Baltimore. Today we celebrate them in place and design for all to experience through not only historical interpretation\, but allowing their stories to continue by breathing new life into the buildings and sites. The Frederick Douglass- Isaac Myers Maritime Park\, the Chick Webb recreation center\, and the Pennsylvania Arts District represent the intersection of how the built environment meets everyday life\, the arts\, community design\, preservation\, and the evolution of equity and social justice in a 21st Century Baltimore. \nAbout Our Presenters \nChris Ryer\, Director of Baltimore City Department of Planning \nChris Ryer began working in community development over 30 years ago as an intern at the Baltimore Planning Department. After ten years as a community planner with the Department\, he moved to the non-profit sector where he worked for the Trust for Public Lands and a community-based organization in southwest Baltimore. \nIn 2002 he returned to the Baltimore Planning Department where he served as Chief of Comprehensive Planning and Deputy Director. After a short period at the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development\, he served as the Director of the Southeast Community Development Corporation for over ten years before returning to the Planning Department as Director in 2019. \nTamara Woods\, Chief of Urban Design\, Baltimore City Department of Planning \nTamara Woods has been with the Department of Planning since 2002. As a Planning\, Redevelopment and Policy Administrator she combines her expertise in land use planning and neighborhood planning to work primarily on land use policy initiatives and regulatory writing\, such as working extensively on the zoning code rewrite. In addition\, she focuses on project development and management of large-scale or complex development efforts that are multi-phased and/or have high neighborhood transformation impacts. \n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n\n\nThank You To Our Generous Sponsors!\nMajor Sponsor  \nAyers Saint Gross \nHord Coplan Macht \nMaryland ASLA  \nWilldan \nSupporting Sponsor \nOak Contracting \nDesign Collective \nGensler \ninPLACE Design \nJMT Architecture \nMerritt Construction \nPrice Modern \nTW Perry \nVision Technologies \nWhiting-Turner  \nWohlsen \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCapitol Sponsor \nShaw \nCorinthian Sponsor \nGWWO Architects \nJames Posey Associates \nMurphy Dittenhafer Architects \nMohawk Group \nNorthpoint Builders \nPotomac Valley Brick & Supply \nSite Resources \nMueller Associates \nIonic Sponsor \nHope Furrer Associates \nCraig Gaulden Davis Architects \nAPA Maryland  \nAmerican Cedar & Millwork \nAmes & Gough \nBudova Engineering  \nCraig Gaulden Davis Architects \nDoubleEdge Design \nMorabito Consultants \nMoseley Architects \nPlano Coudon \nQuinn Evans \nSouthway Builders \nSuzane 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.

Generations of Baltimoreans have picnicked under its tall tulip poplars\, strolled the deeply curved paths and enjoyed the rich architectural design of this 137-acre East Baltimore park. \nThis presentation will touch on the park’s history\, from its earliest beginnings as a 6-acre “Public Walk” donated to the city by William Patterson in April 1827\, to its growth and development under the guiding hands of George A. Frederick\, designer of City Hall\, who served as Park Architect from 1863 to 1895\, and of Charles H. Latrobe\, who served as Engineer and General Superintendent of Parks from 1884 to 1902. Both were responsible for such impressive structures as the iconic Patterson Park Pagoda\, a 60-foot tall Observatory built at top Hampstead Hill for its incredible views of the harbor and the city. \nIn 1904\, the Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architects were hired to prepare a plan for the Eastern extension of the park. Their 1904 “Report Upon the Development of Public Grounds for Greater Baltimore” had urged for an expansion of the park to “offer the working people of East Baltimore a conveniently accessible body of refreshing scenery\, retired to a great degree from the turmoil of the city.” The firm\, founded by Frederick Law Olmsted\, designer of Central Park\, and continued by his sons\, Frederick Law Olmsted\, Jr. and John Charles\, were the leading park architects of the day and continued to enhance the park’s design through 1915. \nIn Patterson Park\, one can see the two sides of the Olmsted vision: the pastoral vistas and sweeping hills championed by the senior Olmsted and carried on by his sons\, as well as the recognition by the younger Olmsteds of the features required by the active recreation movement of the period. The role of Patterson Park in creating social cohesiveness and quality of life is still paramount\, nearly two centuries from its humble beginnings. This presentation will feature fascinating insights and rich historical imagery of this Jewel of Baltimore’s Eastside. \nPresenter \nTim Almaguer has been hiking through\, learning from and working with urban parks for over 20 years\, first with the Friends of Patterson Park for over 10 years and now as the Chief of Community Engagement and Strategic Partnership at Baltimore City Recreation and Parks. Tim received a Master degree in Recreation and Parks Management from Frostburg State University and wrote “Baltimore’s Patterson Park” in 2006\, published by Arcadia Publishing.

April 2nd’s Virtual History will feature Barbara Wilks\, FAIA\, FASLA\, one of the few professionals elected to both the College of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects (in 1999) and to the College of Fellows of the American Society of Landscape Architects (in 2010)\, the highest honor in those professions. During her residence in Baltimore\, she rose to become the first woman president of the AIA Baltimore Chapter\, serving for two years from 1983-1984. \nAbout Our Presenter \nBarbara Wilks\, FAIA\, FASLA\, is a leader in design and interdisciplinary thinking\, with over 40 years of experience in urban design\, public\, and institutional projects. After graduating from Cornell University\, she settled in Baltimore\, attracted by the city’s efforts at renewal in the mid-seventies. In 1974\, she founded Cho/Wilks Architects with Diane Cho and directed such noteworthy projects as Canton Cove\, Brown’s Arcade\, the Eubie Blake Jazz Museum\, Goucher’s Dance Studio\, and the Light Rail Stations\, among many others. \nAfter receiving a Masters of Landscape Architecture from University of Pennsylvania in 1993\, she founded W Architecture and Landscape Architecture\, a design-oriented\, multidisciplinary practice in New York in 1999. Her projects range from urban public spaces\, infrastructure\, architecture\, to parks\, with her goal being to use design to create access and a means of participation — a public route to discovery\, engagement and stewardship. Her award-winning public waterfronts can be found in Baltimore (Tide Point)\, Calgary\, Tampa\, St. Petersburg\, Buffalo\, and New York. https://w-architecture.com \nShe will discuss the development of her early waterfront work in Baltimore’s harbor and how that grew into her focus today\, addressing places where city and nature come together and form new relationships\, and how well-designed places can result in more sustainable relationships between ourselves\, our communities\, and the earth. \nIntroducing Barbara Wilks is Jillian Storms\, AIA\, who once worked with Barbara for over a decade at Cho Wilks & Benn Architects (now Quinn Evans Architects). She more recently led 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. \nRegister Here

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.

The influential landscape architecture firm was established in 1898 by brothers John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.\, sons of the eminent landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The Municipal Art Society hired them to produce the City’s first comprehensive park system plan in 1904\, the Development of Public Grounds for Greater Baltimore Report. The Wyman family had donated land for Johns Hopkins University in 1902 for use as a northern campus and that same year\, the University gave the remainder of the land to the City of Baltimore to serve as a public park. \nIn the 1904 Report\, the Olmsted Brothers identified Wyman Park\, with its old beech trees and bold topography\, as one of the finest single passages of scenery to be so near a large city and advocated for it to become a stream valley reserve and extended north and south Bookending the University to the southeast and fitting into the City grid is the intact Wyman Park Dell\, a 16-acre public park noted for its steep enclosing slopes and a large\, sweeping lower lawn\, fully realized and conceived by the Olmsted Brothers. The presentation will focus on their vision and what remains today from Stony Run’s headwaters at the city’s northern border to where the stream joins the Jones Falls River to the south. \nIn addition to the Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage\, Inc.\, this Virtual History is co-sponsored by the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes (FMOPL) and the Maryland Society of Landscape Architects. \nPresenters’ Bios: \nSince 1986\, Sandy Sparks\, founding president of the FMOPL\, is strongly committed to the non-profit organization’s involvement in streetscape\, park system and watershed planning\, in addition to its significant archive of Olmsted drawings.

Your support helps us make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create more virtual programs like this. \nThis presentation will outline the history of Baltimore’s Lake Clifton High School. Completed in 1971 as the crown jewel of a massive school-building effort\, the sprawling and state-of-the-art campus was expected to stimulate racial integration and ease school overcrowding. However\, white students immediately rejected the school and the campus’ huge capacity was never filled. Lake Clifton developed a poor reputation around the city\, and recently closed for good after years of restructuring and physical dilapidation. The campus is likely to soon be acquired and demolished by Morgan State University; thus\, now is an ideal time to examine and commemorate Lake Clifton’s role in a tumultuous period of Baltimore’s history. \nJulian Frost\, grew up in Baltimore and graduated from Baltimore City College in 2019 and is currently a sophomore at Haverford College. He is majoring in the Growth and Structure of Cities program at Haverford’s sister school\, Bryn Mawr. Over the past year Julian has developed a great interest in the history of Baltimore’s built environment\, and is currently thinking about how to direct this interest into productive\, creative\, and potentially professional avenues. Julian started an Instagram page (@baltimorebuilthistory) as a repository for his casual research and findings.

SUMMARY:The Baltimore Greenway Trails Network: Connecting Baltimore's Trails
DESCRIPTION:The Baltimore Greenway Trails Coalition seeks to create a 35-mile world-class network of urban trails that links Baltimore together\n\n\n\nThis 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 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. \nThe Baltimore Greenway Trails Coalition seeks to create a 35-mile world-class network of urban trails that link together the diverse neighborhoods\, cultural amenities and outdoor resources that make up the landscape of Baltimore City. The Coalition seeks to fill in the 10 remaining miles to create a connected urban trail network serving all of Baltimore. Incredible opportunities exist to complete this network by repurposing unused railroad corridors\, outdated road networks\, industrial brownfields\, and inaccessible waterfronts into multi-use shared paths which will connect every corner of the city. Participants in this discussion will learn how a coalition of public\, private\, non-profit\, and neighborhood led groups are seeking to turn these barriers in the built environment into community connectors through the Baltimore Greenway Trail Network. \nJoin us to learn how we are building a coalition as diverse as Baltimore to advance this important project and learn how we have been able to engage with AIA’s Urban Design Committee to bring the power of design thinking to this critical project for Baltimore’s future. As a recent study by EY examined\, the potential economic and social benefits of implementing the Greenway will provide a significant economic impact to Baltimore in addition to providing equitable\, healthy\, low-stress access to open space and reliable transportation\, healthy living\, and recreation for people of all ages and abilities in every corner of the city. The neighborhoods within a half mile of the Greenway are composed of 58% African-American residents and have a home ownership rate of 48%\, which represents similar demographic diversity and home ownership rates to Baltimore. The completed trail will bring economic and social benefits to a wide cross section of Baltimore’s population. \nAbout the Presenters:  \nEthan Abbott \nEthan Abbott is the project manager for the Baltimore Greenway Trails Coalition at Rails-to-Trails Conservancy.

SUMMARY:Society’s Cage: an Interpretive Design Pavilion for the Black Lives Matter Movement
DESCRIPTION:Society’s Cage: an Interpretive Design Pavilion for the Black Lives Matter Movement\n\n\nSociety’s Cage is a timely interpretive installation on the National Mall in Washington\, DC on view from August 28-September 13. The project was conceived and designed by the architecture firm SmithGroup in partnership with the Architects Foundation in the aftermath of the George Floyd and Breonna Taylor murders as our society reckons with institutional racism and white supremacy. The public installation features a bold interpretive pavilion sculpted to symbolize the historic forces of racialized state violence. The experience educates visitors and functions as a sanctuary to reflect\, record and share personal thoughts. It is conceived in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement as a mechanism for building empathy and healing. \nThe initial installation coincided with the March on Washington in support of Black Lives\, held in Washington\, DC on August 28\, 2020\, and is located on the National Mall at 12th Street and Madison Drive NW. \nSociety’s Cage reminds visitors that the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor are not anomalies\, but rather the latest examples in a 400+ year historic pattern of unmitigated\, unbound\, systemic anti-Blackness in the United States. The installation provides an opportunity to acknowledge and reckon with the severity of the racial biases inherent in the institutional structures of justice and creates a space for collective reflection\, contemplation\, sharing\, and healing. \nThe pavilion is a series of bars that are hung to form a cube with a cavernous void that symbolizes our imperfect society and justice system. The void is shaped by historical data and serves as a visual metaphor to represent the primary institutional forces of racism that embody the Black American experience. \nFinancial donations to this Virtual History program will support this project\, and the possibility of bringing it to Baltimore. Additional donations will benefit the Architects Foundation’s Diversity Advancement scholarships. \nPresenters \nDayton Schroeter\, AIA\, Julian Arrington\,  and Chris Wood\, SmithGroup \nDayton Schroeter\, AIA\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. \nJulian Arrington\, Associate AIA\nJulian Arrington is a lead designer in SmithGroup’s DC Cultural Studio. A proud graduate of Howard University\, Julian has shaped concepts for multiple museum projects including a museum to address the history of slavery in Richmond\, Virginia\, the Universal Hip Hop Museum\, the Museum of Pop Culture and others. A proponent of community-informed design\, Julian has helped to lead stakeholder-engagement efforts to craft designs that reflect the goals and aspirations of the people they serve. \nChris Wood\, AIA LEED AP BD+C\nChris Wood has led all phases of museum and collections center work\, from visioning and programming through construction. As director of the Cultural Studio at SmithGroup’s Washington\, DC office\, Chris has helped to sustain and build a team of interdisciplinary designers focused solely on Cultural work – something rarely found in the architectural field. He believes that focus is necessary to tackle the unique challenges inherent in these projects – successfully integrating the institutional mission\, collections care\, and the visitor experience. \nMore info: \nhttps://www.smithgroup.com/societys-cage  \nArchitectural Record article: \nhttps://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/14777-designers-quantify-racial-injustice-in-data-driven-installation-on-national-mall?oly_enc_id=7210G7507989A9B \nDonations: \nhttps://architectsfoundation.networkforgood.com/projects/106171-society-s-cage-pavilion-project \nPromotional Partners
