Founded in 1952, the College of Fellows is composed of members of the Institute who are elevated to Fellowship by a jury of their peers. Fellowship is one of the highest honors the AIA can bestow upon a member. Elevation to Fellowship not only recognizes the achievement of the architect as an individual, but also elevates before the public and the profession those architects who have made significant contributions to architecture and to society.

College of Fellows Class of 2022 at the Chicago Auditorium.

Message from the CONGRATULATIONSChancellorAIAFELLOWS;CLASSOF2022!

Friends and Colleagues, Please let me again extend a hearty greeting to the new Fellows of the AIA, the Class of 2022, introduced to you in the last issue of our Quarterly. On behalf of our 3500 AIA Fellows and the members of your Executive Committee, I salute you, the Class of 2022 Fellows, for your stellar accomplishments, records of outstanding suc cess, and prominence in the American Institute of Architects. A’22 in Chicago

The College’s headline event - the formal Investiture of the 2022 Fellows! It was a huge privilege and an incomparable honor for me to welcome these outstanding architects to the College of Fellows at the Investiture Ceremony. Held in the marvelous setting provided by Louis Sullivan’s remarkable and historic Chicago Auditorium, the assembled guests were wit ness to the “official” elevation of the new AIA Fellows.

Following remarks by AIA President Dan Hart and myself, Ste phen Spurlock, FAIA, the 2022 Fellows Jury Chair, introduced the 88 new Fellows and our two International Honorary AIA Fellows. On the stage of this historic edifice, each received the personal congratulations of AIA First Vice-President Em ily Grandstaff-Rice, along with the members of the College’s Executive ImmediatelyCommittee.preceding the Investiture, the special New Fellows Luncheon ensued at the stately University Club of Chicago. Joined by a number of our Former Chancellors and the members of the College’s Executive Committee, here in this regal atmosphere former Chancellor Ed Vance, FAIA, took the opportunity to provide a brief overview of the College. In his brief “Introduction to Fellowship”, expectations of Fellow ship and of all Fellows were underscored.

The week at A’22 in Chicago kicked off with the College of Fel lows 24th Annual Chancellor’s Cup Golf Open. Held at the prestigious Cog Hill Golf and Country Club, over 70 players from across the country competed in teams for the stunning 2022 Championship Cup. This tournament was first conceived and organized by Al Rubeling, FAIA, then a member of the College’s Executive Committee, with the first event held in New Orleans in 1987. I hasten to note that this golf tournament is a major fundraiser for the College; over the years a total amount exceeding $600,000 has provided critical and on-going support for the College’s sponsored initiatives and grant programs, including the Latrobe Prize for architectural research.

As with past national conferences of the AIA, Ed invited two accomplished senior Fellows - Curtis J. Moody, FAIA (Co lumbus OH) and Warren Techentin, FAIA (Los Angeles) and two gifted and recent AIA Young Architect recipients - Jesse Turck, AIA, with BWBR in St. Paul, MN, and Ozzie Tapia, AIA with LPA in Irvine, CA - to share their perspectives on achiev ing design excellence in their respective practices.

The following day the celebration continued. Held in the impressive and historic ballroom afforded by the Union League Club of Chicago, we convened the College of Fellows Recognition Luncheon, where we again saluted the new AIA Fellows. Along with those congratulations, an overview of the College’s annual Business Meeting held earlier in June was presented. (This long-standing Saturday event, formerly our traditional Annual Business Lunch, was recast this year as the College’s formal business meeting is now conducted virtually.)

The program included a summary of the Latrobe Prize for Re search and the 2022 theme by the chair of the 2022 Jury, Billie Faircloth, FAIA, partner with Kieran Timberlake in Philadelphia. Her succinct overview was followed by a presentation given by Michelle Laboy, Professor of Architecture at Northeastern University, a lead member and principal investigator with the winning team for the 2022 Latrobe Prize. Here she was able to provide the attendees with a brief slide presentation of their an ticipated research effort - titled “Common SENSES -Standards for Enacting Sensor networks for an Equitable Society.” On a more serious A’22 conference note, Ed Kodet, FAIA, Former Chancellor of the College of Fellows, organized and moderated a well-attended AIA Continuing Education Ses sion, “2+2”

On this festive occasion we were also able to celebrate and toast the 20th Anniversary of the Young Architects Forum along with 70th Anniversary of the AIA College of Fellows

At the aptly named “Celebration with the Fellows” held earlier in the week (this the rebranded “Party with the Fellows” annual event), we welcomed not only our new AIA Fellows but also the most recent recipients of the AIA Young Architect Award.

The College’s A’22 festivities concluded on Saturday evening at the Chicago Sheraton Grand Ballroom where the College of Fellows hosted the annual cocktail Reception and the Gala Convocation Dinner. Over 450 formally attired guests en joyed this elegant evening, to again honor and commemorate our newest Fellows. Following remarks at by myself and AIA President Dan Hart, FAIA, each of the 2022 Fellows and AIA Honorary Fellows were introduced to enthusiastic applause. This soirée concluded with music and dancing long into the Inevening.thelast issue of the COF Quarterly we noted our profound sadness with the recent passing of two of our greats, Former Chancellors Norman Koonce, FAIA; and Harold Adams, FAIA. As many of you know, since the time of our going to press we are further dismayed to learn of the passing of another distin guished leader, Thomas H. Teasdale, FAIA, the 32nd Chancel lor of the College of Fellows. We have included a brief feature on Harold and Tom in this Quarterly.

Held at the historic Chicago Cultural Center (originally the City of Chicago Public Library), AIA President Dan Hart, FAIA, and First Vice President Emily Grandstaff-Rice, FAIA, were on hand to recognize and personally congratulate each Young Architect of 2022 - as well as shining the spotlight on those similarly recognized as AIA Young Architects for the years 2020 and 2021.

Details regarding the process for self-nomination, includ ing deadlines, will be made available to you shortly. The COF ExCom will receive ALL nominations and will select candidates based on diversity of gender, ethnicity and location. Also, a part of the mix will be your Object of Fellowship and the year of elevation, (please note that longer isn’t necessarily more favorable.) We want Fellows who are excited to communicate, and those who want to advance our missions.

By Jeanne Jackson, FAIA Hello Wow!Friends!Forthose of you able to venture to Chicago for A’22 – wasn’t that amazing?! First of all, the city – so great for us architects to visit! Chicago never gets old. For those of you who couldn’t join us, please know we missed you. From what I’ve heard, people thought the tours were quite interesting. RK and I were able to tour the back of house of the Shedd Aquarium, and were delighted to hear about the terrific measures they have taken to bring down the energy demand of a building type with a very high energy need. Bravo Shedd!

Regional Representatives Message

We are still chatting with Fellows in the Gulf States and neighboring Regions, as well as those Fellows in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Please email me if you have an opinion. If you aren’t a member of these areas – you are still in the same Region that you were before.

Having reported on our Regional Rep conversation, you should also be aware that we are rolling out a new protocol for the selection of Regional Representatives to the College. You may be nominated by your Region, or you may now self-nominate if you’re interested in serving.

Opening up at the end of 2022 are positions in California, Central States, (IA, KS, MO, NE, OK), Florida Caribbean, Gulf States, (AL, AR, LA, MS, TN), Michigan, New England, (CT, MA, NH, RI, VT), New Jersey, Ohio Valley, (OH, KY, IN), Penn sylvania, South Atlantic, (GA, NC, SC), Texas, and Western Mountain Region (AZ, CO, ID, MT, NM, NV, UT, WY). If you are interested in an RR position, please think about applying. The duties of an RR can be found in this link and the application format will be available soon.

The Investiture, and the lunch for New Fellows prior to the ceremony, both had amazing venues – the University Club of Chicago and the Louis Sullivan Auditorium, respectively. I would say that both spaces made the New Fellows’ experience something very special to remember. The Convocation Dinner, a chance to cheer our New Fellows, was equally memorable. Now to business. As most of you are doubtless aware, the Col lege has been studying the switch of the AIA to a state repre sentation model, and whether that could work for us. As I men tioned in the last Quarterly, we have determined that this state model is not feasible for a group with a limited representation in 29 of our states/jurisdictions – 25 Fellows or less in these. However, as we talked with the current Regional Representa tives, we determined that a few areas of the country need a bit more discussion. I’m delighted to announce that Montana and Idaho are joining the Western Mountain Region – my Region in fact. Welcome Montana and Idaho!

Finally, we must sadly share the news that a number of our esteemed colleagues have passed on this year. Please see page 39 in the Quarterly for this news. We truly stand on the shoulders of giants. My best to all of you, and especially to the new 2022 Fellows –Jeanne Jackson, FAIA

Following the Approval of 2021 Business Meeting Minutes, a report was delivered by Vice Chancellor Frances Halsband, chair of the 2022 Nominations Committee, who recommended Jeanne Jackson, FAIA, as the 2023-25 Bursar of the College.

The election of the 2023 Bursar of the College ensued, along with a proposed slate of officers for the 2023 Executive Com mittee. These individuals were presented to the membership for consideration and duly voted upon. With that formal action, our current Vice-Chancellor, Frances Halsband, FAIA, will become the 61st Chancellor of the College in December; Ron Blitch, FAIA, the incoming Vice Chancellor, Kate Schwennsen, FAIA, will continue for a second year as the Secretary, and Jeanne Jackson, FAIA, will be the incoming Bursar of the College of Fellows. Also noted was the recent appointment of Michigan’s Stuart Pettitt, FAIA, to succeed Jeanne Jackson as the Chair of the College’s Council of Regional Representatives com mencing in 2023. Each of the Executive Committee members, who also serve as officers of the AIA College of Fellows Fund, Inc., provided an overview of the College’s meetings and activities that trans pired thus far in 2022. Reporting on our budget and the status of the COF permanent fund was our Bursar and Treasurer, Ron Blitch, FAIA. The Secretary’s remarks (Kate Schwennsen, FAIA) included a discussion of our publication efforts as well as a summary of the in-person meeting of the Executive Com mittee conducted in Charleston, SC in April. Jeanne Jackson, FAIA, as the Chair of the Council of Regional Representatives, presented an overview of the “redistricting” of College of Fellows regions. This was followed by a discus sion of the methods of appointments of Regional Representa tives, and an appeal for nominations and self-nominations of Fellows in those Regions where vacancies will occur at the beginning of 2023.

The Chancellor, along with Vice Chancellor Frances Halsband, FAIA, delivered commentary on current and future initia tives of the College. These include the 2023 Latrobe Prize for Research, the AIA Component Grants Program for Emerging Professionals, and the Young Architect awards program. Not ed as well was the financial support provided by the College for the “Say it Loud” exhibition that just opened at the Octogen in Washington DC, and funding for upcoming YAF Leadership Summit to be held in Pittsburgh this Fall.

Announcements: COF Annual Business Meeting

By Kate Schwennsen, FAIA; Secretary For the third consecutive year the College of Fellows conducted its annual Business Meeting – virtually - on June 2, with over 200 Fellows attending. Following a welcome by Chancellor Roger Schluntz, FAIA, former Chancellors of the College and the Jury members for 2022 New Fellows and Honorary Fellows were introduced. Also on hand to provide brief remarks and welcome members of the College were AIA President Dan Hart, FAIA, and Lakisha Woods, CAE, EVP/CEO of the AIA. A moment of silence to both recognize and honor those emi nent Fellows who passed away in 2021 ensued. (See page 39 for a listing of these distinguished professionals.) Their many accomplishments have provided society and our profession consequential benefits, and they will be missed.

Personal remembrances from a few other former chancellors follow.•"He was amazingly intelligent, and perceptive, and always had that calm manner to make things happen. A true hero of architecture, the AIA, and Texas A&M, and a proud familyRaymondman." G. Post, Jr., FAIA, 1995-1996 AIA President, 56th Chancellor of College of Fellows

Harold Adams, FAIA, died April 12, 2022 at his home in Bryan, Texas. Harold had a most distinguished career, yet was always approachable, eager to mentor emerging and seasoned professionals, and ready to serve his profession. His calm demeanor and sincerity disarmed those who might expect otherwise of a man of his accomplishments. He was, in fact, a great storyteller, and when he “got tickled” while telling a story, it was impossible not to join in the laughter.

FellowsAnnouncements:Remembered

Bill Rose, FAIA, 28th Chancellor, 1989 – 1990

• "A real gentleman who was always so passionate about architecture and a big supporter of our College of Fellows. #36 will certainly be missed; he is now having a reunion with #45 (Frank Lucas) and #50 (Norman Koonce) - three outstanding leaders. Their legacy lives on."

Harold L. Adams, FAIA, RIBA, JIA

John J. Castellana, FAIA, 59th Chancellor, 2020 - 2021

• "We are all the beneficiaries of Harold's contributions and achievements to architecture, AIA and COF. He will be missed." Ellis W. Bullock, Jr., FAIA, 34th Chancellor, 1995 - 1996

• "He was a very, very special person and icon for our profession. We’ve lost someone who cannot be replaced and will always be remembered for his contributions."

Adams is credited with founding the Large Firm Roundtable for the American Institute of Architects (AIA), giving execu tives of large design firms a collegial setting to discuss shared issues. The AIA awarded Adams with the Edward C. Kemper Award, for his leadership in the profession, and membership in its College of Fellows. He served as the 36th chancellor of the College of Fellows in 1997–1998. In 2014, he received the College of Fellows’ highest honor, the Leslie N. Boney Spirit of Fellowship Award, for his years of service.

• "A brilliant professional filled with kindness and a pleasure to work with, he will not be forgotten." Jack DeBartolo, 35th Chancellor, 1996 - 1997 41st Chancellor of College of Fellows

Born in Palmer, Texas, Harold Lynn Adams graduated from Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1962. After college, he was hired by John Carl Warnecke and Associates and began working with Warnecke, and then-Presi dent John F. Kennedy and then-First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy on a variety of projects. Adams joined RTKL in 1967, became president in 1969 (at the age of 30), CEO in 1971, and chair man in 1987. As head of RTKL, Adams brought business savvy and led the transformation of a one-office architectural firm in Baltimore to a global design practice with projects in more than 60 countries. He retired from RTKL in 2003. In 2018 he returned to his alma mater as a “Professor of Professional Practice”, sharing his priceless expertise with the next genera tion of architects.

By Kate Schwennsen, FAIA

Thomas H. Teasdale, FAIA, of Kirkwood, Missouri, died April 27, 2022. He was 89 years old. He is survived by his wife June, three children, (Laura, Tom, Marjorie Sara), and a grandson. After receiving his degree in architecture from Washington University in St. Louis, Tom served three years in the U.S. Air Force, and then joined The Wischmeyer Architects, becoming a partner in 1965, and president in 1993. In 1996 he left the firm to provide independent consulting as a specialist in long-term care facilities. Tom was in many ways a “citizen architect”, providing signifi cant local community service in addition to remarkable service to the profession. Tom was a former president of the St. Louis Chapter of the AIA, a former national AIA Vice President, and the 32nd Chancellor of the College of Fellows, 1993 - 1994. For his contributions he received many honors and awards, including the St. Louis AIA Gold Honor Award for lifetime achievement, the Outstanding Architect Award from the Mis souri Council of Architects, and the Distinguished Alumni Award from the Washington University School of Architecture. He provided leadership to the Rotary Club of St. Louis, and also received numerous awards from that organization for his outstanding service. The cause of Adams’ death was glioblastoma, an aggressive form of cancer that occurs in the brain. He is survived by his wife, Janice; children Harold Lynn II, Abigail, Ashley John, and Samuel, and 11 grandchildren.

Obituaries are available at The Baltimore Sun and The Archi tect's Newspaper.

"I looked up to Tom as a leader. Our lives had very different starts, but our goals were the same.

•

• "Tom was a terrific person and great Chancellor. He was special to me since that was 1994, I received my Fellowship. It was after that, we talked often. He will be missed. " Ed Kodet, 48th Chancellor, 2009 - 2010

Personal remembrances from a few other former chancellors follow.•"He was one of the finest orators and debaters on behalf of the AIA that we’ve ever had - one Board member referring to him as “Senator Teasdale”. Bill Rose, FAIA, 28th Chancellor 1989 - 1990

Thomas H. Teasdale, FAIA

• "I was fond of Tom. He was a real leader." Ted Pappas, 44th Chancellor, 2005 - 2006

5. Supporting AIA policy reviews and revisions

3. Strengthening networks within communities affected by socio/spatial isolation and various inequities.

4. Diversifying AIA Central New York Leadership

23 Feature | YAF

Written by Amanda Henrie and John Giles Jr. For the AIA, the question is no longer whether BIPOC or EDI hold value but rather how we as collective advocates can work to accelerate the unmuting of those values across the synergies of our professions. Even today there remain multi-faceted and deeply historic civil issues at the heart of BIPOC / EDI, which all erupted in the events of 2020, especially after the death of George Floyd at the hands and knees of four Minneapolis law-enforcement agents. As the nation gasped in the aftermath of this disturbing event running concurrent with a breath stealing global pandem ic, key individuals from our local AIA CNY chapter recognized the need to act immediately and make change. This movement was the inception of the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Task Force which eventually became the EDI Committee in the fol lowing year of 2021.

The Value of Building BIPOC: The EP Component Grant and EDI1 Progress

There are six (6) spheres of influence around which the mission for the EDI Committee is building:

EP Component Grant Recipient: AIA New York, "Building BIPOC"

1. Provide education and programming that increases awareness of issues impacting BIPOC and EDI and simultaneously increases access to resources for historically underserved groups throughout the A/E and Construction industries.

2. Support ongoing mentorship of local youth and future design professionals at every level, especially middle school aged and upwards by engaging local school districts, Syracuse University groups; including FDS, NOMASS, etc.

6. Address and implement proactive strategies to mitigate human rights injustices and discrimination

EDI's inaugural event: Let's Talk Diversity in The Workplace with Twiggy Eure October 7th, 2021. Photo Credit: AIACNY24

The Let’s Talk Series is geared towards the educational com ponent of our EDI mission. We are seeking to further clarify and educate our current members, parallel professionals, and employers about the benefits of EDI in the workplace. Our talks center on open discussion, questions, and the provision of strategies and resources for those in attendance. Our events are both in-person and virtual. We have also set up a key partnership with The Everson Museum, to hold our Let’s Talk events and extend the programming to the museum’s partici pants and members of the broader Syracuse and Central New York community.

EDI-AIACNY Member Survey 2021

Our EDI Committee is comprised of mostly AIACNY members (Amanda Henrie (2022 Chair of EDI), Diana Jaramillo, Ni colette Havrish, John Giles (2021 EDI Chair, 2022 Advocacy Chair of AIA CNY), Minh Lam, Alexander Truong, Gabrielle Eure [2022 Emerging Professionals Chair], Anthony Rojas) and one partnering consultant [non-member], Eden Strachan of Kingdom Media Group, LLC. We all come from a broad array of racial/ethnic backgrounds, expertise, and experiences. At the onset of EDI Task Force, we conducted a survey amongst chapter members to understand how people were choosing to self-identify as well as get a better reading of how others were feeling about EDI in Architecture and in our AIA chapter: 1. LET’S TALK ROUNDTABLE SERIES (6 Talks Fall 2020 – Winter 2022)

1 - Definitions EQUITY - refers to achieving parity in policy, process, and outcomes for historically and/or currently underrepresented and/or marginalized people and groups while accounting for diversity. It considers power, access, opportunities, treatment, impacts, and outcomes, in three main areas: 1. Representational Equity: The proportional participation and representation at all levels of the profession; 2. Resource Equity: The re-distribution of resources in order to close equity gaps, and; 3. EquityMindedness: The demonstration of an awareness of, and willingness to, address equity issues.

DIVERSITY - Differences in the lived experiences and perspectives of people that may include race, ethnicity, color, ancestry, place of origin, political belief, religion, marital status, family status, physical disability, mental disability, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, class, and/or socio-economic situations.

INCLUSION - is the active, intentional, and continuous process of addressing the inequities in power and privilege structures within society and building a respectful and diverse community that ensures welcoming spaces and opportunities for all to flourish. The survey resulted in a range of responses, many of which re inforced the need for education and programming opportunities for our members. In addition to our monthly meetings, our EDI Committee engages this opportunity for education and pushes forward the goals of EDI in (3) ways.

Our intro to Architecture summer program is similar to FDS’ Teaching Program. They work with us to share school coordi nator information from each school. They also share recaps of the design lessons and activities taught to the student during the school year. This is the pipeline through which EDI acquires students that are further interested in architecture, and invite them to take part of our EDI Intro to Architecture summer program.

Intro to Architecture Program Poster Gabrielle Eure on 126-30 East Colvin St. collaborating with iHome Property Management in The Southside of Syracuse, 25NYBecause of the efforts of AIACNY, the future for Equity, Di versity and Inclusion is burning brighter than ever through the embers of change here in Central New York. We are commit ted to building a better BIPOC community one interaction at a time and working towards the creation of comprehensive spaces within which these deeply meaningful interactions can occur. The work is unending, but so are the benefits of a robust and more inclusive and diverse community of professionals in Architecture and Engineering.

3. EDI’s BIG TENT - COMMUNITY CULTURAL EVENT (Fall 2022) Big Tent is the culminating event of the EDI series of program ming where we bring back all the contributors along with our chapter members and community participants to experience a day of community building, local food vendors, career-fair/ networking, and informational outreach booths that all help us to celebrate the growth of BIPOC / EDI right within our city-space. We hope to run these events annually and garner support throughout neighboring counties, cities, and even across Furthermore,states.each

EDI committee member is actively working on local design, planning, and construction projects, several of which build on EDI’s third sphere of influence Networking + Community Engagement:

2. INTRO TO ARCHITECTURE PROGRAM (2 informational events in 2022 + weekly program running through Summer 2023) Since 2021, EDI has connected with Syracuse University NO MASS (National Organization of Minority Architects Students, Syracuse Architecture Chapter) to highlight the value of BIPOC relationships with mentorship groups. For our October 25th, 2021 meeting at SU-school of architec ture we connected with NOMASS and 2 new groups that they developed and have branched off of their student chapter: FDS (Future Designer of Syracuse) and Women In Design group.

Seven is a magical number, significant in almost every major religion, associated with good luck, the days of the week, and the wonders of the world so celebrating the first seven African American women to achieve fellowship in the American Institute of Architects seems more than apt. The women in this magical cohort collectively accomplished their feat over a period of twenty-six years, from 1980 until 2006, and represent a diversity of geographies, career trajectories, and contributions to the field, some having the Ivy League credentials that boost careers and others not, some being located on the coasts where architecture flourishes and others not, some practicing in large firms that offer more opportunities for women and ethnic minorities and others not. Notwithstanding this incredible diversity, I would like to note three striking similarities in the career narratives of these first seven African American female fellows. The first similarity is that they all reveal the women’s appetite for constructing multi-dimensional creative lives. Norma Sklarek, the first, preferred to coordinate large, technically demanding projects and she also raised three children, had numerous mari tal partners, and was adept at a variety of hobbies. Dr. Sharon Egretta Sutton, the second, draws upon five academic degrees to stitch together her teaching, research, writing, lecturing, and fine art, which she combines with a passion for community engage ment, houseplants, Pekingese, and cockatiels*.

Sharon who has taught for 47 years at six universities, claims that her life purpose is to empower and educate disenfranchised communities and also promote social responsibility among architects and students.

The third—and most intriguing—similarity is that the career narratives all reveal the women’s enthusiastic embrace of credentialing, both as neophytes and fully seasoned authorities. Credentialing began in the nineteenth century when the white men who comprised the emerging occupations negotiated a so cial contract with the public that insured their status as experts and community leaders. Overtime, the most elite members of occupations like medicine and law pressured governments and the professions to create an airtight method of control ling who qualified as an expert. A partnership evolved in which governments established legal requirements for practice and the professions established the knowledge and skills needed to meet those requirements, both constraints limiting the number of ex perts by increasing the time and cost of becoming credentialed.

The second similarity is that the career narratives all reveal the women’s deep commitment to giving back their privileges, which they accomplish through professional and public service and especially through teaching and mentoring. Roberta wrote that Norma, who taught at UCLA, changed lives by mentor ing people, giving them their first job, guiding them through the licensure exam, or offering them advice on starting a firm.

Being First Foreword by Dr. Sharon Egretta Sutton, FAIA

For example, the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) formed to regulate professional degree programs whose curricula became lock-stepped to an internship and licensure exam that the National Council of Architectural Ac creditation Boards (NCARB) would administer, a three-step process of regulating who could earn the credentials to practice architecture. Though women and persons of color drop out all along the way, at the last step of the licensure exam NCARB reported in 2021 that white candidates were more likely to pass than candidates of color, males more likely to pass than females, and younger candidates more likely to pass than older ones. Despite the exclusionary reality of credentialing, the women in this magical cohort embraced it.

Riding the Vortex: Celebrating the First Seven African-American Women Fellows of the AIA

In a 1984 Ebony article, Norma Sklarek was quoted as say ing that African American women had “to get the maximum amount of education and afterwards to obtain the license . . . The architectural license becomes the passport to the profes sion,” providing opportunities for faster advancement, better salaries, and greater responsibility. Whether working class or middle class, the women who followed her in becoming fel lows took this advice, overcoming financial and social barriers to become licensed soon after graduation, though their route to fellowship took considerably longer than the ten years of required membership in the AIA. Once protected by the social contract, practically all the women became enforcers of its terms by serving on the boards of various regulatory agencies. For example, Norma was a com missioner on the CA State Board of Examiners, Sharon was president of the NAAB, Ivenue served on the GA State Board of Architects and Interior Designers, Kathryn chaired the AIA

Vortex partnered with AIA National beginning with the inaugural "Riding the Vortex: African American Women Architects in Practice" session at the San Antonio conference in 2007. Our journey has taken Vortex to 17 cities across the United States and - more recently - into the virtual world. NOMA, the National Organization of Minority Architects has been a steadfast supporter as have several AIA state and local com

Dueponents.tothe focused efforts of Vortex, the number of currently licensed African American women architects has increased from around 175 in 2007 to just over 500 today. Many of us have become Fellows. Despite these gains, let us remember that, for every 1000 architects in the United States, there are only 3 black women architects.

I am the third of four girls, so my daddy discerned that I should be his son. Early on, I constructed and deconstructed virtually everything that I could get my hands on. No dolls for me – I was offered trains, erector sets, hammers, and screwdrivers. I remain very competitive to this day. Mama was a homemaker, an accomplished cook, and a professional seamstress whose limited formal education belied her innate mathematical calcu lating talents. Those skills were passed on to me. My daddy was a Navy veteran who ran the Naval Air station‘s print shop, was the bartender at the officer’s club at night, and built a highly sought-after catering business on the side. Additionally, we fre quently helped him clean buildings on the weekends. Everybody contributed. I developed a healthy work ethic. I followed my eldest sister as the high school’s valedictorian and won a scholarship to the highly acclaimed Millsaps Col lege in Jackson, Mississippi, where I finished my BS in Math ematics in three years. During my last year, I worked part-time as a drafter in a seismographic engineering company where I honed my graphic skills and was exposed to the profession of Sincearchitecture.Mississippi did not have a school of design, the state paid for me to enroll at Georgia Tech. Architecture at Georgia Tech was difficult because, as the first Black female to enter the program, they did not know what to make of me. My future husband Bill was the first Black male to complete the program. There were no more than four or five of us in the entire school of architecture and I experienced exclusion, isolation, and downright racism from some of my classmates, critics, and lecturers. Others were curious, but accommodating. My work ethic propelled me forward.

My earliest days were spent in a segregated public housing project in Meridian, Mississippi. With our growing family, our parents moved to the popular Red Line neighborhood, a community whose demographics covered the entire spectrum of the black community… rich, poor, a doctor, educators, and laborers.

I was fortunate enough to work parttime for the Atlanta branch of Welton Becket. There, I was exposed to every aspect of design, production, and administration – the girl Friday. While not at all glamorous, that exposure was the advantage that I gained over my peers. By the time I graduated with a professional degree from Tech, I had amassed valuable practi cal experience in ‘building buildings.’

The next day was just as special. Bill gave the charge to the 2014 class of new Fellows at their investiture as the College’s Chancellor. We had both come so far. However, God was not through with us yet. The next year, the AIA Convention was held in Atlanta. Without solicitation, it was determined that the Ebenezer Baptist Church - Horizon Sanctuary would be the venue for the 2015 Fellows Investiture Service. That marked the first time that a building designed by a Black architecture firm had been chosen as the site of an Investiture Service.

Our firm has had its difficulties over the past 43 years. How ever, we have espoused the biblical mantra, “to whom much is given, much is required.” We have been blessed with visionary clients for whom place making has been an extraordinary ven ture. Together we have realized projects that are well designed and unanimously well received. They include houses of wor ship, public places, schools, airports, Olympic and professional sports venues to name a few categories.

I believed in giving back. I believed in effective mentoring. I remained humble even though I sometimes doubted myself. However, I am a worka holic, so I always power through. I honed excellent managerial skills and became an effective negotiator. On December 30, 1978, Bill and I married. Bill immediately left his job at John Portman and Associates, and we launched our practice - Stanley Love-Stanley (SL-S) - full time. I was still employed as a transit architect with Parsons Brinkerhoff Tudor. However, I worked for 4 hours each night at our firm while Bill taught at the Georgia Tech/Atlanta University Dual Degree Program. We struggled, yet we found opportunities by volunteering our services, participating with community boards and design efforts, tithing in our church, and placing the needs of others ahead of our own. I was sexually harassed while at Parsons Brinkerhoff Tudor, but had no means of recourse or retribution. I refused to inform Bill; for fear that his response would have landed him in the penitentiary or a grave. I will bear this one scar forever. I have always been a remarkably high achiever, often multitask ing to a fault. When I did not pass my licensing exam the first time, I was shaken. It was the first time that I had failed to excel at anything. Bill had breezed through it. So, I doubled down, dug in, became hyper focused, and passed the next time. In doing so, I became one of the first Black female to become a registered architect in the Deep South. Bill and I are the only couple to have both receive the AIA Whitney M. Young Jr. Award, nearly three decades apart. It should have happened sooner, but I eschew the limelight, much to Bill’s chagrin. One of my proudest moments was at the 2014 AIA Convention in Chicago. I received a standing ovation at the conclusion of my address during the opening of the general session. My eyes welled with tears as my kid sister approached me crying. She regretted our parents could not attend.

I received the Bernard B. Rothschild Award, which is AIA Geor gia’s highest honor, for distinguished service to the profession of architecture. I was the fourth Black female to become a Fel low. I was the first Black female to become an Honorary Fellow in the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. I was the first Black female to graduate the School of Architecture at Georgia Tech.

I was the first Black female member of the Georgia State Board of Architects and Interior Designers. I chaired both the City of Atlanta Zoning Review Board and its Urban Design Commission. I co-sponsored inner-city Troop 100’s first Eagle Scout. I wrote the grant application for the State Department USAID. I subsequently administered the entire project for the first American Schools and Hospital Abroad (ASHA) sponsored college in Evaton, South Africa which our firm designed in association with a Black South African firm in Johannesburg. The list goes on…but what does it all mean at the end of the day? It makes little sense to boast of being the first, if you do not make a way for the second, the third, and the fourth until it becomes automatic and not at all unique. For the 2- to 8-yearolds in my Sunday school class, I am just Mother Goose… the lady with the bible booklets and the snacks…the lady who loves and disciplines them. I am not self-made. I stand on the shoulders of a caterer and a seamstress and a whole lot of ordinary people who continue to pray for me.

Iam a design practice leader with an inimitable understanding of the dynamics that impact the success of projects and firms. My 40 years of design and management experience is focused on architectural projects of a wide range of sizes, types, and delivery methods executed for private and public clients within diverse Some years ago I taught Environmental Systems and Struc tures for 13 years at Howard University and served as the Associate Dean of the School of Architecture and Design for 8 years. I serve on the architecture program advisory boards at Hampton University Architecture and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I also provide architecture consultation services to architecture firms that specialize in the design of projects for federal and military clients. practice environments. As a practitioner, educator, and regulator has enabled me to synergistically connect practice and academia. I have managed the design of award-winning buildings; taught and mentored future architectural leaders; and, fostered public awareness of the profession and linkages between all aspects of the profes sion through professional service. My achievements have made a national impact that extends from the architecture commu nity into the larger American landscape.

Currently I teach the Integrated Building Design Studio at Virgina Polytechnic Institute’s Washington-Alexandria Archi tecture Center (WAAC). The content of this studio is designed to address NAAB Student Criteria 6 – Building Integration.

My first experience in the profession occurred in 1974, the sum mer after graduating from high school. The park I designed for the City of Alexandria was built during my first year in archi tecture school. The remainder of my career has been in private practice beginning with VVKR, Inc. and most recently with Sha lom Baranes Associates, PC . Early on I developed a reputation for being able to design, detail, and coordinate projects outside of a firm’s typical portfolio. This expertise eventually evolved into managing large, technically complex, politically sensitive projects primarily for federal and military clients. I also worked for Buffalo, New York firm owner Robert Trayn ham Coles, FAIA - Chancellor of the College of Fellows (1995) and Kemper honoree (2019) - shortly after leaving VVKR. Through Bob, I developed an appreciation for the grit it takes to own a small, diverse, successful firm in a less than welcom ing practice community and to design (and have funded and constructed) culturally sensitive buildings. Bob drilled into all staff the necessity for streamlining project processes and thor ough documentation skills which I found invaluable. Through out my career, the mentoring of future architects has been a sustained, personal mission. I have organized and participated in national and regional conferences, juries, and expositions providing opportunities for students, educators, profession als, and the public to engage in discourse about the future of architecture and architectural education.

Three career-long mentor-mentee (and Fellow-Fellow) rela tionships continue to guide me through my journey. My first employer in private practice was R. Randall Vosbeck, FAIA - a founding principal of VVKR Incorporated in Alexandria, Virginia and AIA President (1981). I started in the print room after my freshman year. Three years after receiving my BArch I was licensed and promoted to project architect. Through Randy’s example, I learned that the value of professional service is not self-gratification, but the ability to help others achieve their pro fessional aspirations.

Harry G. Robinson III, FAIA Dean Emeritus of the Howard University School of Architecture and Design and President of NCARB (1993) introduced me to the challenges of leading an accredited architecture program and to the international community of black architects. My early, in-depth connection to academia enables me to interconnect the discipline and practice of architecture in all aspects of my work. Throughout my career, the mentoring of future architects has been a sustained, personal mission.

Registered to practice architecture in 1981, I am one of the first twenty African American women registered architects in the United States; the 5th African American woman elevated to AIA Fellowship; and, the 75th African American Fellow.

I have organized and participated in national and regional conferences, juries, and expositions providing opportunities for students, educators, professionals, and the public to engage in discourse about the future of architecture and architectural education. I am a past President of the Virginia (APELSCIDLA) board for the design and engineering professions and past Chair of the AIA National Ethics Council and of the NCARB Committee on Examination. I led both the AIADC and AIANO VA Fellows Committees, and served on numerous NCARB, NAAB, and ACSA committees that serve to bridge the chasm between education and practice. I was honored with the only NCARB President's Medal bestowed in 2002 for my service to the Council.

The VORTEX mission includes inspiring others, fostering mentoring and networking, and - most importantly - providing a safe space for the open and honest discussion and resolution of issues facing black women in our profession. Many of the over two dozen invited panelists have established program ming which complements Vortex’s mission.

For nearly 15 years I and collaborators Barbara G. Laurie, AIA (deceased); Kathy Dixon, FAIA; Katherine Williams, AIA; and, Melissa Danial, Assoc. AIA have produced and delivered programming which gives African American women archi tects and those at the end of the pipeline a voice at national, regional and local venues.

I am a past Chair of the AIA National Ethics Council, the NCARB Committee on Examination, led both the AIADC and AIANOVA Fellows Committees, and served on numerous NCARB, NAAB, and ACSA committees that serve to bridge the chasm between education and practice. In 2002, at age 45, I was elevated to Fellowship. I accepted this as my personal charge to assist architects outside of the typical demographic to achieve this or similar goals. In 2022, the AIA honored Riding the Vortex (of which I am one of the founding collaborators) with the National Whitney M. Young, Jr. Award for its sustained contributions toward increasing the number of African American women licensed architects.

I am the CEO and owner of McAfee3 Architects, Inc. It is one of the oldest Black-owned architecture firms in the US and was founded in 1963 by my father, Charles F. McAfee, FAIA, NOMA. In 1996, I was the first woman elected President of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA). I chaired the 1998 AIA National 5th Annual Diversity Forum, and in 2008, I was also the first African-American woman to serve as Chair of an AIA National Convention in Boston. Also, in 2017, I was an AIA A’17 Keynote Speaker at the Orlando Na tional Convention. Recently, I was elected as the AIA Regional Representative for the Southeast from Georgia on the Strategic Council 2020-2022. I currently serve on the NOMA Founda tion, the AIA Georgia Board of Directors, the AIA Strategic Council, the AIA EQUI in Architecture Commission, the AIA Foundation Sho-Ping Chin Jury, and the AIA Strategic Council Liaison to the Young Architects Forum.

I have faced numerous obstacles throughout my career based on my race and gender. Still, along the way, I had amazing Black, White, Asian, male and female mentors and sponsors who inspired me and gave me the confidence to seek and achieve even higher goals. Although my father was very active in politics and Civil Rights, my mother, Gloria, was very protec tive and tried to shelter me from the vitriol of racism. It was impossible to escape it in our daily lives. We could not eat in the dining cars of trains and were turned away from “Whites Only” horseback riding stables and swimming pools. Some times, I was sent on quick trips out of town and later learned there were threats on our lives. My first independent encounter with this racial resentment was as an 8-year-old third grader in 1964 when I was among the first Black students to integrate the public elementary schools in my hometown of Wichita, KS. I also experienced this same resentment and prejudice as a freshman architecture student at Kansas State University (KSU) when the Department Head advised me to change my major. I took it as a challenge and refused to comply with his advice. As a result of my refusal to be intimidated, I endured numerous attempts by the Depart ment Head to sabotage my grades and success over the next five years. I stayed in architecture and graduated near the top of my class with a professional Architecture Degree from KSU in 1979. Following graduation, I earned my second professional architecture degree, a Masters of Architecture and Urban Design from Harvard University in 1981.

Between 2000 and 2015, I served as the Principal Architect for the Master Planning & Design Joint Venture Team that oversaw the planning and design of the $7 billion expansion of the world’s busiest airport, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, including the new Maynard H. Jackson International Terminal.

Above: Article “An Olympic Champion”,June 1996. Personal Archive.

During my time as a student at KSU, I spent two semesters as an intern at The Architects Collaborative (“TAC”) in Cambridge, MA, and continued working at TAC while pursuing my Masters at Harvard. One of the two women partners/founders of TAC, Sarah Pillsbury Harkness, mentored me and assigned me to several prestigious international projects. Harkness’ sponsor ship gave me a real boost in confidence and invaluable experi ence at the start of my career. She continued to be a strong source of encouragement until her passing in 2016. Although soaring professionally at TAC, my father encouraged my return to the family owned business in Kansas. Although I faced pushback from a white male architect who attempted to oppose my licensure, I became the first Black woman to receive licensure to practice architecture in the State of Kansas in 1990. Important in my licensure study was the support I received from African American “Fellows” and NOMA members Ken Groggs, FAIA, Harry Robinson, FAIA, and John Spencer, FAIA. I have never forgotten their generosity and the importance to “pay it forward.” In 1990, I permanently relocated to Atlanta to serve as the Sr. Program Manager for the Atlanta 1996 Summer Olym pic Games. I recruited a diverse team of consultants, and we managed the design and construction of all 33 sports venues, including the Olympic Stadium. Following the games, our team assisted with the conversion of the Olympic Stadium to Turner Field, the former home of the Atlanta Braves, and is now a Georgia State Athletic Complex.

I have been an outspoken advocate nationally for more op portunities for leadership and career advancement for diver sity and women architects, particularly for Black and Native American women who face the greatest historic barriers to career advancement. I was a major sponsor of AIA Resolution 18-3: Diversity Pipeline and National Representation, which was adopted by the member leadership and created a national leadership pipeline for ethnically-diverse women candidates for positions on the AIA’s National Board of Directors and its Strategic Council. I was humbled and honored in 2018, when the Atlanta Chapter of AIA bestowed its most prestigious honor on me, the Ivan Allen Senior Trophy, for making a deep and lasting impact on my peers, the AIA, and the built environment, while sustaining the highest ideals of the profession. The AIA recently recog nized my sister Charyl (2013), our father, Charles (1981), and me (2003), because we represent the first time that a father and his two daughters have all been elevated to its College of Fellows. I also believe in serving my community, and I am an active member of many prominent Atlanta-based civic organizations.

A tenth-grade English-class interview assignment led me to Gerald E. Gray, a black architect in my hometown of Greens boro, NC, whose explanation of what architecture was and could be, convinced me that I wanted to become an architect. In my school library I found an AIA pamphlet entitled “So You Want to Be An Architect”. It became my guide to how to start the process. I applied to and was accepted at Howard Univer sity, one of the two HBCU accredited architecture schools listed in the pamphlet. The summer after graduating with a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Howard, I worked as a drafter at the Detroit-based architecture firm, Smith, Hinchman and Grylls on the replace ment project for the Freedmen’s Hospital building on Howard’s Campus. An African American associate with the firm, Roger Margerum, advised me that if I wanted to work on hospital projects doing more than the bathroom layouts I was com plaining about, I should consider a degree in hospital design. Until then I didn’t know there was such a thing. I was accepted into the hospital design program at Columbia University and moved to New York City. A year later, in 1971, I graduated with a M.S. in Architecture degree with a specialty in Health Facility and Hospital Design. That summer I took my first trip out of the country to Ghana. The one-month trip was organized by J. Max Bond Jr., who had worked in Ghana following that country’s independence and later became New York City’s best known African-Ameri can architects.

Aided by the New York State-funded Harlem Urban Develop ment Corporation, I landed my first large project: a $4 million project to create a permanent home for eighty-two homeless persons in an abandoned Harlem hotel. All of the drawings were done by my first hire Maria Paul, a young NY City College graduate, and myself. The office staff, which at its busiest time had sixteen people, was normally eight or fewer employeeswith a predominance of people of color and women.

Back in New York, I worked for various architectural firms. Most of them were health care facility design firms – with one notable exception - Ifill Johnson Hanchard - the largest black-owned architecture firm in New York at the time. Working there was my first exposure to a Black architecture practice. During this period, the Alliance of Women in Architecture provided the encouragement – and the study tools - for taking the New York State licensing exam. I passed it in 1975. In 1977, I left New York to work in The People’s Republic of Mozambique, becoming the first American to work there after its independence from Portugal. For four years, I ran the archi tectural studio for the Maputo Province Public Works Depart ment, designing health-care facilities, schools, daycare centers ,and housing. I returned to New York in 1982 and, after a year of working for another firm, I left to start my own practice.

41 From 1995 to 2005, I served on the New York State Board of Architecture and was its president in 2004. From 1998- 2006, I was a NCARB exam writer for three sections of the licensing exam. In 2007, I was appointed one of the City’s nine com missioners on the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission where I served until 2015. With the encouragement of the AIA's first black female Fellow, Norma Sklarek, I had discovered my own path to fellowship and was inducted into the College of Fellows in 2006.

I also serve as a board member of Save Harlem Now!, a community-based preservation group, and as a curator of Now What?! Advocacy, Activism and Alliances in American Architecture since 1968 (an online and traveling exhibit).
