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.

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”.

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. 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.

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:20260407T065039 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Take part in this interactive course that demonstrates how energy-efficiency goals—when addressed beginning early in design—can be successfully achieved\, saving valuable resources such as design time and client budgets. The session begins with an overview of comparative analysis towards achieving energy conservation goals alongside factors that drive energy use. A real case study forming the basis of the charrette will be presented\, including an overview of conservation strategies available for consideration. Participants will utilize live polling to assemble “bundles” of selected energy efficiency measures to play out what-if scenarios. Facilitators will run real-time energy modeling simulations to show the results of bundled measures and discuss the merits and challenges of each. Charrette results will be revealed alongside energy-savings trends\, dispelling common misconceptions about the link between budget and energy savings. Actual energy performance of the case study building will be reviewed. \nLearning Objectives \n• Recognize the value early energy analysis provides to the design process and client decision-making \n• Identify a range of energy-efficiency options and their impacts on energy outcomes during various stages of design \n• Interpret building performance and financial information provided by energy analysis results \n• Understand how decisions made early in design can increase energy savings opportunities URL:https://aiabaltimore.org/event/aligning-budgets-with-energy-conservation-goals/ CATEGORIES:Allied Professional Member CES Provider,Webinars,Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://aiabaltimore.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/27ce0914deb822fa6ab6492118d9e7c6-1UMf5d.tmp_.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210226T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210226T133000 DTSTAMP:20260407T065039 CREATED:20210208T205329Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210208T205422Z UID:26231-1614344400-1614346200@aiabaltimore.org SUMMARY:Design for Distancing: Reopening Baltimore Together DESCRIPTION:Learn how local designers are working to make public spaces safer during the pandemic\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

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. \nBaltimore is a city filled with a wide range of architectural treasures. Some of the city’s most beloved treasures are its historic school buildings\, from the castle-like City College to the modernist Patterson Park High. The best architects in the city competed to design these impressive and important public buildings. \nLeading this architectural adventure is Meg Fairfax Fielding\, a past-president of BAF. Meg loves to explore Baltimore and the surrounding areas. By day\, she is the head of the History of Maryland Medicine at MedChi\, which was founded in 1799\, but on weekends\, you might find her on a lonely road on the Eastern Shore searching for a small\, ancient church. Follow her on Instagram at PigtownDesign.
