CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE
LENORE M. LUCEY, FAIA CHANCELLOR 2017 Washington, DC

elcome to Fall – the season of apple picking, pumpkin flavored everything, Halloween and anticipating the coming end of one’s service as Chancellor. Come early December, I’ll pass the Chancellorship to Skipper Post, FAIA, and along with Ed Vance, FAIA and Peter Kuttner, FAIA we’ll welcome John Castellana, FAIA as the 2018 Executive Committee. We’ve had an excellent year, one that saw us continue our valuable relationship with the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC), deepen our relationship with the AIA Council of Architectural Component Executives (CACE), provide even more support for the Emerging Professionals Component (EPC) Grants, and celebrate the third year of awarding our Young Architect Award recipients with an honorarium as well as the honorific. A small group, the ExCom continues to function as a strong team focused on longrange goals, expressed as “A Passion for Doing More”, and featuring increased messaging, improved financials, and enhanced mentoring. You’ve all noted the vast improvement in our Newsletter — our messaging — under our talented Editor Jeff Pastva, AIA. Stories this year highlighted 4

the successes of the EPC Grants — hopefully enticing you to try something new in your component; coverage of our Latrobe Prize , whi c h will provide research you will be able to use in your practice; profiles of the incredible next generation of architects — the recipients of the Young Architects Award; and more. In the future, the Newsletter will continue to feature stories of how your donations are put to great use each year. If you continue to support the College of Fellows (COF) Fund we’ll be able to continue Doing More! We continue to strengthen our relationship with our colleagues in Fellowship in the RAIC as we share many goals in common. Attending the RAIC Festival (their Annual General Meeting) and seeing their Fellowship Investiture for the first time was a moving experience. It is the ExCom’s intent to continue both our attendance at the Festival and additional meetings during the AIA Conference on Architecture. One new area of focus for us is our relationship with CACE, where, in addition to the EPC Grants, we now contribute support to their Annual Meeting. Attending the CACE Annual was an invigorating experience. As

Guillot, FAIA (Guillot Vivian Viehmann Architects), and Marilyn Jordan Taylor, FAIA (SOM, University of Pennsylvania).
a former CACE Exec (I served as the AIA NY Chapter Exec), it reminded me that CACE is the lynch-pin of our efforts to mentor future architects. CACE brings together the efforts of Fellows and Young Architects as the three groups seek to improve the experience of growing, developing and succeeding in the profession. Please talk to your CACE Exec and your COF Regional Representative about how you can get involved. As Chancellor, I attended terrific meetings. This year included the Latrobe Jury in Dallas, TX in February; the ExCom Spring Meeting in Austin, TX in March; A’17 (the AIA Conference on Architecture) in Orlando, FL in April; the RAIC Festival in Ottawa, ON in May; CACE in Portland, OR in August and the ExCom Fall Meeting in New York City in September. It is not the most travel a member of the ExCom undertakes. During their first year on the ExCom the newest member become liaison to the Young WWW.AIA.ORG/COF
Architects Forum (YAF). That adds an additional four meetings in their year, but is a valuable contribution that advances the goals of the College. Each meeting has deepened our commitment as we’ve seen the spaces that architects occupy when they build for themselves. In Austin, the ExCom experienced the wonderful restoration and renovation that houses AIA Austin. At the RAIC Festival, I toured the magnificent Canadian War Museum and enjoyed the COF Investiture at the Canadian Museum of History. During the CACE meeting, the group was invited to experience the neighborhood-friendly home of AIA Portland and AIA Oregon. In New York, we enjoyed that same commitment to design excellence in the Center for Architecture. My deepest thanks to AIA NY President David Piscuskas, FAIA and Executive Director Ben Prosky, Assoc. AIA for graciously hosting us OCTOBER 2017

CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE
in the Chapter’s hard-working hub for public engagement. Our thanks also to Director of Operations James Fallarino and Managing Director Suzanne Mecs, Hon. AIA NYS who significantly contributed to the evening.
It has been an honor to serve as your Chancellor and I appreciate the support you provided. Enjoy the rest of 2017, the COF ExCom will be back with more in 2018. Thank you. ■
For me it was a “homecoming” to an architectural chapter home that did not exist during my time in NY. We are a profession that influences each and every person, each and every day. Look around at your component, your office, your projects, maybe even your home — they tell the world that architects and architecture are important.
Lenore M. Lucey, FAIA Chancellor 2017
During the meeting in September with NY Fellows I commented: “This Chapter formed my deepest roots in the profession. From the beginning, it gave me mentorship and friendship. It provided me with study groups and support for the ARE, with committees to join in my various alternative careers in the profession, with several years of elected Board service and eventually as Executive Director. This Chapter was the foundation for the career success that led to my Fellowship decades ago. It is also the root of much mentoring, many friendships and extraordinary collegial relationships in the profession including a large percent of Fellows gathered here tonight.” Your membership in AIA and in the College contributed, and continues to supply oxygen to your career. Take advantage of what those memberships can offer, give back of your “time, talent and treasure” to the profession, and always enjoy the contribution architecture makes to the wellbeing of people each and every day.

CHAIR’S MESSAGE
RON BLITCH, FAIA, FACHA CHAIR | COF REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVES New Orleans, LA
We lco m e !
T
he COF Regional Representatives are the liaison between the membership of the Institute and the COF ExCom . The Regional Reps cover the 19 regions of the AIA (some with multiple reps) and are charged with promoting AIA members on the path to Fellowship as well as supporting the COF Mission: • Promote research & Scholarly Work • Mentor Young Architects & Emerging Professionals • Sustain the College During the past few years, the Regional Reps communicated through conference calls and written reports to share “best practices” to assist the RR community with furthering this mission. The Regional Reps will soon reorganize into a more focused structure with committee chairs and reporting responsibilities. The five committees will be: Communications will support the Newsletter and Jeff Pastva, our editor (Jeff was the chair of the YAF version when he was with YAF). This group will also work with the Secretary to update

the new Welcome Packet each year and coordinate with CONNECTION, AIArchitect, and the digital family of Web site, Facebook, and Twitter presence. Knowledge will support the Latrobe process around awarding and reporting on outcomes, and will promote the other kinds of research we support and disseminate. Community will focus on our efforts to encourage and recruit new Fellows, and to create a better sense of engagement within the College. At the other end of the age spectrum, Community will address the mentoring and support of emerging professionals. Many efforts would naturally integrate both groups. Advocacy will run across the work of the other committees as needed, or address unique issues they identify. Development will address the financial aspect of “Sustain the College.” While all RR’s should be the known faces for “asks” in
their regions, a more focused committee would be good support for the new COF Development Council that is being developed. The goal is also to develop a partnership with the NAC (National Associates Council) and the YAF (Young Architects Forum). Both NAC and YAF want better connections to the COF RRs. This reorganization of the RRs is in the feedback period from our current reps and hopefully will be implemented within the next few months. Any comments and suggestions are appreciated! â–

bac kgro und o n he r: Upon receiving a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Virginia Tech, Helene followed a career path largely beyond the bounds of traditional architectural practice and now serves as the interim Executive Director of the National Architectural Accrediting Board.

HOW FELLOWS CAN ENGAGE WITH LOCAL AIA COMPONENTS by Ca th y R o sse t
T
he College of Fellows (COF) plays a unique role in supporting Components at the local and state levels of the AIA. The COF supports the Council of Architectural Component Executives (CACE) by providing grants to chapters to help develop programs which foster the mission of young architects and associates. Thes e grants include the Emerging Professional Component Grant and the Latrobe Prize, which is a biennial $100,000 award from the COF to support a two-year program of research. AIA Fellows can also support components and their members by lending their time and talent. Here are a few ways to engage with members and potential new members at the state and local levels: Mentor an emerging professional: Participate in a mentorship program through your local comp onent to mentor an emerging professional. Several components offer mentorship exchanges and/or opportunities to foster relationships and share your experiences with those who are beginning their careers. Speak or sit on a panel about an educational or licensing preparation topic: Components often seek speakers to discuss various issues in the architecture field. Volunteer with your local component by offering to speak at or sit on a panel for one of the sessions. Help components recruit members by spreading the word about the benefits of AIA membership: Take the time to inform other architects about the value of AIA membership. Share what the Institute means to you and how it has helped your career. Encourage your colleagues to join and especially reach out to emerging professionals to encourage them to get involved at the start of their careers. If you are still practicing, work with your firm to try to offer complimentary membership or discounts for your employees.
WWW.AIA.ORG/COF
Serve on a committee for your local component: Volunteer to serve on a committee with your local component. Your knowledge, service, and time will benefit not only the other committee members, but also those within your component. AIA Fellows are some of the Institute’s greatest ambassadors. Your role and work with components not only helps further the institute’s mission, but also advances the field and helps cultivate future leaders. ■

YAF PRACTICE INNOVATION LAB SUMMIT 25
by Peter Kuttner, FAIA
M
ore than sixty young professionals from around the country gathered in Washington for three days of conversation and brainstorming on the future of design and architectural practice at the Young Architects Forum’s Practice Innovation Lab. YAF organized the event to promote a positive look towards the future of practice, rather than circular discussions of what is not working in the current state of the profession. The goal was an extended collaboration focused on creating new business models within the practice of architecture. Ultimately, YAF sees the Lab as an opportunity to create new value for the profession and its future. YAF has held a summit every five years to define mission, vision, and goals for the group. Summit 15, for example, developed the 2007 YAF Strategic Plan, and Summit 20 (held in postrecession 2012) re-aligned the previous plan with the new conditions in the economy and the profession. For 2017, the Practice Innovation Lab took Summit 25’s planning objectives to a wider group of young participants and addressed a broader range of concerns. Participants in the Lab covered an inspired range of practitioners across the US, all working in the architectural space. A call for applications went out earlier in the year to AIA members and many others. A jury selected the final group and then notified them in August, with the AIA covering the costs of participation. Rounding out the Lab, participants also included liaisons from other AIA member groups like the College of Fellows and the Strategic Council.
When the Lab finally convened, participants collected at the Crystal City campus of 1776, a global incubator and shared workspace whose members are already defining new business models. Everyone listened, ate, debated, and reported together in the same space for both days. At the center of the exercise, teams were tasked with designing an innovative new practice and presenting it to the rest of the attendees, all over the course of the two days. The time alternated between breakout team design sessions and fascinating talks from a range of designers with intriguing alternative approaches to practice. Laura Weiss, Assoc. AIA, an architect turned strategist, facilitator, and consultant who addresses the innovation challenges of organizations, was the Summit Moderator, and a perfect example of one alternative practice approach. Laura addressed the difficulties of innovation, and the challenges for Summit 25. Robert Ivy, FAIA then welcomed the whole group and stressed the need for change in the industry. James Patten, an interaction designer and TED Senior Fellow, kicked off the stage-setting presentations highlighting his own Patten Studios. James studied at MIT’s Media Lab, and became interested in adding interactive technology to architecture. He stressed his selfinitiated projects, and a focus on “experience design.”
By the end of September the YAF committee formed ten, six-person teams, based on the manifestos each had created, and shared a curriculum designed to help begin the planning process ahead of time. Weekly group conference calls gave them a chance to get to know each other, identify challenges in the built environme nt, and begin to think about practice models that might better serve the profession.

At midday Susan Chin, FAIA, Hon , ASLA, presented her work as Executive Director of the Design Trust for Public Space, a nationally recognized non-profit that helps transform the city’s landscape working with public agencies and community collaborators. They address issues like rapid urbanization, adaptation to climate change, conflict and migration, and disaster recover y, to name an ambitious few. Susan talked about flexibility and adaptability in the profession, and the need to collaborate. Towards the end of the day, Laura moderated a panel with three speakers who also founded and direct other non-profit office examples. Gregory Kearley, AIA, the Executive Director of Inscape Publico, Kathryn Meairs, AIA, co-founder of The RED Office, and Andrea Sreshta, the co-founder of LuminAID, a renewable energy lighting for humanitarian aid, all described the evolution of their alternative business models.
WWW.AIA.ORG/COF
In the breakout rooms between these conversations, the teams did not disappoint. Ten proposed new firms emerged, complete with logos and corporate identities like 4pie, the NEW [net]WORK, Dataia, [JAMB], COVALENCE, Daedalus, Design on Demand, ReThread, Mom + Dad, and Prostruction. Beyond the metaphorical names there was a clear commitment to firms designed around solving societal problems and empowering the architectural profession overall. The majority of the new innovative models were not necessarily prosperity-driven practice models per se, but rather aggregators, networks, portals, and partnerships. They admirably proposed these alternative data-driven, knowledge based collaborations to provide shared resources and extend the reach of the architect. The YAF and AIA will soon be shar ing the ideas generated by the Practice Innovation Lab through a variety of outlets. Each team prepared a presentation, and the AIA is creating a video to be released in the near future. More information on the different models, and the conference in general, will be covered in AIA publications, and presented at A’18 in New York. ■ OCTOBER 2017
