We’ll explore what makes this modernist church so beloved by Baltimoreans. \nThe Church of the Redeemer was built in 1958 and designed by architect Pietro Belluschi in collaboration with RTKL. It is a Mid-Century Modern\, re-interpretive addition to the original 1856 church by R. Snowden Andrews (1830-1903). Its sophisticated design integrates original stone and like materials to create a modern spirituality of the time. \nPeitro Belluschi (1899-1994) was born in Italy\, and moved to Portland\, Oregon in the 1920’s. His churches and residences reflected a Pacific Northwest vernacular of wood and stone\, while his seminal commercial work was more modern in its materials vocabulary. We will tour the 1856 historic chapel\, and the 1958 church and supporting administration wing and will view some of the original drawings and documentation of the Belluschi work. \nThis program will be presented by We’ll be joined by Mark Schroeder\, Director of Facilities at the Church of the Redeemer. \nRegister Here URL:https://aiabaltimore.org/event/the-church-of-the-redeemer-baltimores-beloved-modernist-church/ CATEGORIES:Virtual Histories,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aiabaltimore.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/4af61fff49908cda0254db39e02630be-SXoxMT.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210714T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210714T173000 DTSTAMP:20260407T050802 CREATED:20210622T150304Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210622T150923Z UID:27275-1626251400-1626283800@aiabaltimore.org SUMMARY:Architectural & Design Workshop (Schluter Systems) DESCRIPTION:This architectural and commercial workshop will discuss the challenges faced with traditional floor\, wall and shower applications.

Your support helps us make up for lost tour and program revenue from COVID-19 and create more virtual programs like this. \nThe Bethlehem Steel Mill at Sparrows Point launched an effort to create a Garden City-style town in 1917 just before the US entered WWI. At the same time\, the Federal Government began housing production for war workers. Frederick Law Olmsted\, Jr. (FLO Jr.) headed the Town Planning division of the new United States Housing Corporation. Several colleagues in the nascent profession of city planning who had worked with FLO Jr. on Roland Park and Forest Hills Gardens were all directly involved in designing Dundalk\, including Baltimore architect Edward Palmer\, Roland Park Company leader Edward Bouton\, and architects Grosvenor Atterbury and Charles Wellford Leavitt. Their plans were inspired by their designs for more affluent areas\, including curvilinear streets\, separation of uses\, green spaces\, and restrictive covenants. We will explore how these plans created a new community for workers and managers\, but was segregated by race. \nPresenters \nAmy E. Menzer is executive director of Dundalk Renaissance\, a 20 year-old non-profit community development organization\, and is deeply interested in planning history and neighborhood change. She also serves as a Board member of the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks and Landscapes. She previously worked for Citizens Planning and Housing Association on housing and transportation advocacy\, and has served as President of the Community Development Network of Maryland\, NeighborSpace Baltimore County\, the Patterson Park Neighborhood Association\, and the Transit Riders League of Metropolitan Baltimore. She holds a Ph.D in Human Geography from Johns Hopkins University. \nJoining this presentation is Meg Fairfax Fielding\, past president of BAF\, and member of BAF’s Dead Architects’ Society. By day\, Meg is the head of the History of Maryland Medicine at MedChi\, which was founded in 1799\, but on weekends\, loves to explore Baltimore and the surrounding areas and take deep dives into the historical contributing architects\, such as Palmer & Lamdin.

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. This special program is hosted in partnership with the George Peabody Library. \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. \nAbout this Presentation: \nThe Pratt Central Library achieved second place in BAF’s Architecture Madness tournament of Baltimore’s best buildings built between 1870 and today and hosted in celebration of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary. In today’s Virtual History\, we’ll explore what makes this library so special and how it served as a national model for libraries that followed. \nIn 1882\, Enoch Pratt gave a whopping $1 million gift to Baltimore City to launch the nation’s first free library system\, proclaiming\, “My library shall be for all\, rich and poor without distinction of race or color…” This welcoming vision was echoed in the 1929 design of the system’s new central branch\, starting with its street-level main entrance on Cathedral Street\, going against the grain of architectural design for grand civic institutions at the time. Architect Clyde N. Friz hoped to give the library “a dignity characterized by friendliness rather than aloofness” avoiding the old-fashioned institutional character of past libraries. When Baltimore’s Central Library opened on Cathedral Street in 1933\, it displayed its featured content in large bay windows along its street facade enticing all to enter\, much like department stores on nearby Howard Street. \nToday\, the Central Library serves more than half a million people a year and recently received a $115 million\, three-year renovation. Its exterior and interiors were gorgeously restored and fully transformed for the digital age with up-to-date systems and technology masterfully integrated into the historic fabric. Dropped ceilings were removed to reveal fabulous stenciling\, decorative molding damaged in prior renovations was restored by artisans\, and historically appropriate new lighting was installed to make the rooms feel light and airy. The results are stunning. \nCome join us as we hear from our two presenters about this award-winning library\, inviting and comfortable for all who enter\, and one that will fill you with civic pride. Gordon Krabbe\, Chief Operating Officer of the Enoch Pratt Free Library\, will be introducing our presenters. \nAbout the Presenters: \nJillian Storms\, AIA\, has done extensive architectural research on numerous architects who practiced in Maryland\, including Clyde N. Friz\, AIA\, who holds the first architectural licence issued by the State of Maryland. She is a former President of the BAF and now serves as co-chair of its research committee\, the Dead Architects’ Society. She serves as a capital programs manager at the School Facilities Branch of the Maryland State Department of Education. \nSandra Parsons Vicchio\, AIA\, NCARB\, LEED AP\, is founding principal of Sandra Vicchio & Associates\, LLC\, with more than 30 years of experience in programming\, planning\, architecture\, and design. Her portfolio includes historic preservation\, renovation\, and new construction encompassing laboratory\, office\, academic\, administrative\, visitor center\, library\, and museum spaces. She co-authored the 2015 book The Living Library: An Intellectual Ecosystem and served as consulting architect on the Pratt Central Library renovation project team\, along with lead architects\, Beyer Blinder Belle\, and managing architects\, Ayers Saint Gross. \nREGISTER HERE URL:https://aiabaltimore.org/event/the-history-and-award-winning-renovation-of-the-pratt-central-library/ CATEGORIES:Virtual Histories,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aiabaltimore.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/f354e7eaef0fd4fb87e15a9b3ec6166b-G3xSnh.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210622T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210622T180000 DTSTAMP:20260407T050803 CREATED:20210608T184007Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210608T184017Z UID:27177-1624381200-1624384800@aiabaltimore.org SUMMARY:Hillandale Gateway Case Study: Large Mixed Use/Multi-Family Passive House DESCRIPTION:Hillandale Gateway is a mixed-use project targeting ambitious sustainability goals including LEED\, Passive House\, EnergyStar\, and NZE.\n\n\nThe Hillandale Gateway Project is a new multi-building\, mixed use\, mixed income development located in eastern Montgomery County\, Maryland. The project is prominently located adjacent to the Capital Beltway (I-495) affording it excellent visibility. Such prominence offers an opportunity to set a highly visible example of exceptionally sustainable development within the region. This Project represents a partnership formed in 2015 between two long-term community stakeholders with deep roots in Montgomery County: The Housing Opportunities Commission of Montgomery County and The Duffie Companies as represented by sustainability focused partner PS Ventures\, LLC. \nAs long-term holders of real estate\, the ownership team has recognized the values of quality\, durability\, and resilience from the very beginning. Hillandale Gateway will seek achievement of a variety of third-party certifications demonstrating the team’s commitment to setting new standards in sustainability and resiliency. The Project is targeting certifications including LEED for Homes Platinum\, Energy Star for Multi-Family\, Passive House (via Passive House Institute US – PHIUS)\, and Net Zero Energy (on one of the two residential buildings). Each of these ‘above code minimum’ standards offers a different focus which will be briefly explored during the session. \nSuch ambitious goals require the coordinated efforts of many professionals all working together and pulling in the same direction. Early in the entitlement process the Hillandale team was assembled (from all over the Country) for a number of design charrettes where Project goals were outlined\, significant obstacles were identified\, and various design approaches were discussed and challenged. The importance of assembling the correct team and ensuring that efforts are coordinated early in the development process will be a focus of this session. \nHIllandale Gateway will feature two separate residential structures connected by a common above ground parking structure. The design team worked together to identify products and systems which would allow for the achievement of our sustainability goals as close to cost parity with a code minimum approach as possible. The team’s methodology\, which favors use and adaptation of reliable systems\, iteration\, and a focus on simplicity will be discussed. The major systems being employed in Hillandale will be outlined and discussed (i.e. structure\, envelope\, heating/cooling\, ventilation\, & water heating). \nFinally\, with a long-term perspective\, the team has also demonstrated a “best value” vs purely “first cost” approach throughout the design and development process. The advantages of refocusing on the question of “Is it worth it?” compared to the far more common “How much does it cost?” will be explored. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Understand what the Passive House Standard is (PHIUS) and how it differs from LEED. \n2. Recognize the value of early design team coordination in the implementation of a large-scale multi-family passive house project. \n3. Recognize the benefits of research\, adaptation\, iteration\, and simplicity in the design of systems. \n4. Understand the challenges and lessons already learned in the selection of products and systems utilized on the Hillandale Gateway Project. \n5. Understand the benefits of a “Best Value” vs a pure “First Cost” approach to development. \nPresenters: \nShane Pollin – Principal PS Ventures\, LLC \n Brandon Nicholson – Principal NK Passive \n\nREGISTER HERE URL:https://aiabaltimore.org/event/hillandale-gateway-case-study-large-mixed-use-multi-family-passive-house/ CATEGORIES:Lectures,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aiabaltimore.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/399882739c360c7460c23c451e560f06-Zqgc09.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210618T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210618T133000 DTSTAMP:20260407T050803 CREATED:20210611T154605Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210617T173315Z UID:27203-1624021200-1624023000@aiabaltimore.org SUMMARY:POSTPONED: The Underground Railroad in Baltimore County DESCRIPTION:This week’s virtual history is canceled.

This presentation is also co-hosted by Morgan State University and the Baltimore Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects. \nAbout this Presentation: \nIn May 2016\, the nation’s leading preservation organization\, the National Trust for Historic Preservation\, designated Morgan State University a National Treasure. The designation served to recognize the University’s significance as an HBCU (Historically Black College and University) and as a compelling example of the challenges that colleges across the country face in stewarding their historic buildings while redeveloping their historic campuses. \nFounded in 1867 as one of the nation’s earliest institutions to offer post-secondary education for African Americans and the largest in the state of Maryland\, Morgan State University’s urban campus has an impressive collection of historic buildings. The University’s varied built landscape features 20 contributing structures—ranging from Classical and Italianate to Modern and Brutalist—eligible for listing on the National Register. Buildings on the campus were designed by pioneering and celebrated black architects such as Albert Cassell\, Hilyard Robinson\, Louis Fry\, and Leon Bridges. In addition\, the University is home to one of six HBCU accredited architecture programs and the only one accredited in historic preservation. \nIn its effort towards preserving the rich cultural legacy of HBCUs\, the National Trust joined forces with the University to envision a forward-thinking stewardship strategy for preserving HBCU campuses. The partnership aimed at developing a campus heritage preservation plan for Morgan State University – a critical tool to inform campus master planning – that could be applied at other HBCUs across the country. \nOn its five-year anniversary as a designated National Treasure\, we will hear about the University’s progress to create a preservation roadmap that stewards the many historic buildings on campus\, while planning wisely for the university’s long-term\, sustainable future. \nAbout the Presenter: \nDale Glenwood Green is a descendant of Reverend Samuel Green\, Sr. (a Visionary Founder of Morgan State University)\, Morgan Alumnus (a inaugural student of the Morgan undergraduate architecture program)\, and Professor of Architecture and Lead Faculty for Historic Preservation at Morgan State University School of Architecture and Planning. He has been teaching and leading research on Morgan’s campus heritage since he joined the faculty in 2008. He along with his faculty colleagues and students have collaborated with the University and the National Trust for Historic Preservation on preserving the campus and individually listing the University Memorial Chapel on the National Register of Historic Places. He has been leading the Preservation in Practice summer program with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation\, National Parks Service and the National Trust for Historic Preservation. \nRegister Here URL:https://aiabaltimore.org/event/morgan-state-university-national-treasure-and-model-for-preservation/ CATEGORIES:Virtual Histories,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aiabaltimore.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/b0319991265fe78ec22fac6052f9a35b-2thMVq.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210525T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210525T180000 DTSTAMP:20260407T050803 CREATED:20210505T130456Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210524T170658Z UID:27000-1621962000-1621965600@aiabaltimore.org SUMMARY:Regenerative Design and Development DESCRIPTION:Join the AIA Baltimore Committee on the Environment + Resiliency for a webinar on regenerative design and development…\n\n\nRendering Courtesy of Onion Flats Architects \n1.0 AIA LUs/HSW Available \nOur regenerative design team is comprised of a mission-driven developer\, a community partnership facilitator\, a regenerative-minded architect\, and a sustainability and energy consultant.

Architect Rebecca Swanston\, FAIA and designer Alex Castro incorporated the curving Trolley Works building and enlarged it with an addition that echoes its curves and creates a strong sense of motion. Its playful\, eye-catching facade\, created by youth in the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services as a way to provide them with tangible skills and personal development\, was an echoing sentiment from Rebecca Alban Hoffberger\, Founder/Director and Primary Curator of AVAM that “social justice is life’s highest performance art”. The shimmering and whimsy exterior mirrors the artworks found inside by self-taught individuals that make AVAM one of the city’s most beloved institutions. Architect Diane Cho\, AIA of Cho Benn Holback + Associates (today Quinn Evans) led the 2004 expansion of the museum transforming an old whiskey barrel warehouse into AVAM’s Jim Rouse Visionary Center. Both projects are stellar examples of adaptive use – the creative repurposing of historic buildings. \nWhen asked to describe why they voted the way they did\, Architecture Madness voters emphasized how AVAM’s architecture embodies the museum’s spirit. As one voter put it\, “It feels alive. It feels like a building that embraces all people and inspires creativity and a sense of wonder.” \nRegister Here URL:https://aiabaltimore.org/event/designing-the-avam-winner-of-baltimore-architecture-madness/ CATEGORIES:Virtual Histories,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aiabaltimore.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/36c61e897c1e1ffb77bb9bfa6dbc5fbe-4qVZZr.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210507T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210507T133000 DTSTAMP:20260407T050803 CREATED:20210316T200707Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210316T200707Z UID:26640-1620392400-1620394200@aiabaltimore.org SUMMARY:The Robert F.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 URL:https://aiabaltimore.org/event/trailblazing-architects-barbara-wilks-faia-fasla/ CATEGORIES:Virtual Histories,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://aiabaltimore.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/BW-New-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210331T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210331T193000 DTSTAMP:20260407T050803 CREATED:20210205T204106Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210312T210522Z UID:26150-1617213600-1617219000@aiabaltimore.org 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.

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.

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 URL:https://aiabaltimore.org/event/trailblazing-architects-barbara-wilks-kathleen-sherrill/ CATEGORIES:Special Events,Virtual Histories,Webinars ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://aiabaltimore.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/KS-New.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210323T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210323T140000 DTSTAMP:20260407T050803 CREATED:20210305T170650Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210312T212438Z UID:26502-1616500800-1616508000@aiabaltimore.org SUMMARY:Demystifying AIA Fellowship DESCRIPTION:An informational meeting for 2021 FAIA candidates and those interested in learning more about AIA Fellowship and the application process.\n\n\nAIA Fellows are recognized with the AIA’s highest membership honor for their exceptional work and contributions to architecture and society.

In this talk\, Mary Rizzo will examine forgotten moments from Schaefer’s terms as mayor\, from the creation of a failed local version of the Oscars\, called “The Don” awards to honor Baltimore’s film business\, to the Baltimore Promenade\, a public art project designed to integrate city neighborhoods through the act of walking. While Schaefer is remembered for large-scale projects like Harborplace and stunts like posing with a mermaid for the opening of the Baltimore aquarium\, his legacy should include his reimagining city government to include arts and culture–for good and ill. \nPresenter Bio: \nMary Rizzo is Assistant Professor of History at Rutgers University-Newark. She works at the intersection of inclusive public history\, digital humanities\, urban studies\, and 20th century U.S. cultural history. She is the author of Come and Be Shocked: Baltimore Beyond John Waters and The Wire (Johns Hopkins University Press\, 2020) and Class Acts: Young Men and the Rise of Lifestyle (University of Nevada Press). She is the founder of the Chicory Revitalization Project\, which uses the black community poetry magazine Chicory to spur dialogue on place and identity. Follow it on Instagram @Chicory_Baltimore.

Acknowledging that COVID-19 is primarily spread as an airborne virus\, this discussion will review how MEP design can help mitigate those risks. We provide a base understanding of how viruses including COVID-19 are transmitted and review actionable items for reopening and long term strategies for pathogen control. \nWe will focus the discussion to assist participants in: \n\nUnderstanding the three primary transmission methods of COVID-19 & typical preventative measures\n\n\nUnderstanding infectious dose & viral load\n\n\nUnderstanding short term HVAC approaches to reduce transmission (including ventilation & filtration)\n\n\nUnderstanding long term solutions for pathogen control including air sanitization\n\n\nUnderstand other MEP design contributors to pathogen control\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\nSpeaker: \n David Van der Vossen \nAs Senior Vice President\, David Van der Vossen brings a vast array of design experience to his projects. During his tenure with the company\, Dave’s role has evolved – from his entry level position as a drafter in 1993 to his current SVP role where he is responsible for overseeing company operations. In his corporate role\, Dave works closely with Zack to assist with corporate business functions and with individual office leadership to ensure implementation of quality control measures\, client service\, profitability and team training. His business and broad engineering background brings a unique skill set to the company\, and he upholds the firm’s commitment to community engagement through not only providing direct design support to many local non-profits\, but also by actively participating in local organizations such as the Greater Salisbury Committee\, Salisbury Environmental Task Force\, Boy Scouts of America and ACE Mentoring. Most recently\, Dave oversaw the firm’s COVID-19 research\, education and response\, providing free seminars to over 60 groups and 800 individuals on aerosol transmission of COVID-19 and how to reduce it using HVAC systems. He is currently focused on opening the firm’s newest office location in Wilmington\, NC.

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. \nPhaan Howng is a Baltimore-based multidisciplinary artist focused on exploring the production of landscape through large-scale landscape painting\, sculptures\, installations\, and performance. Guided by philosophical\, anthropological\, and socio-political thinking\, Howng’s immersive environments are a response to the toxic extractive practices of global capitalism that hinder environmentally and socially just landscapes. Her work attempts to deconstruct man’s presumed power over nature by focusing on the geopolitics of displaced plant-life and questioning the labor and management that result from processing nature as product. Howng will provide an overview of her work and present on her latest exhibition\, A Bag Of Rocks For A Bag Of Rice\, urging us to rethink how gardening and landscaping practices can mobilize the development of more environmentally thoughtful and sustainable futures. \n\nRegister Here\n  \nAbout The Presenter \nPhaan Howng is a Baltimore-based multidisciplinary artist focused on exploring the production of landscape through large-scale landscape painting\, sculptures\, installations\, and performance.
