AIA College of Fellows 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. 2

CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE 2020 – The Year That Wasn't
PHOTO BY PAT STEWART
“On top of the looming climate imperatives, the coronavirus pandemic forced a public health crisis and an economic downturn, and the subsequent realization of the extent that systemic racism created unequal outcomes for marginalized populations.” Peter G. Kuttner, FAIA
W
e began 2020 like any other year, but we are coming out of it with an entirely new awareness and ethos regarding the impact of public health, economic security, climate change, and equity across society. Hopefully in 2021, as new vaccines and our leaders move us toward an end to the pandemic, these hard lessons will have a permanent impact as we design for a better future for all. The Year That Wasn't I believe began each issue of the College of Fellows Newsletter in 2020 remarking on how unusual the year has been, and this issue is no different. College traditions we look forward to never happened. Our new Fellows had no Investiture, and we had no Party with the Fellows, Convocation Dinner, or Golf Tournament. The COF Executive Committee was not able to visit any of the components, and our Business Meeting, Governance Week, and John Castellana’s Inauguration all were held virtually. As John highlights in the article “Conference on Architecture 2021,” we do have plans to make A’21 in Philadelphia a celebration for both this year and the next.
The Year We Never Expected While we lament the events we missed this past year, the world reeled from one crisis to another. On top of the looming climate imperatives, the coronavirus pandemic forced a public health crisis, an economic downturn, and the subsequent realization of the extent that systemic racism created unequal outcomes for marginalized populations. On the environmental front, we continue to actively support the AIA climate initiative (see “The Climate Interview Series” by Julie Hiromoto, AIA). Regarding racial inequity, there has been spirited discussion on KnowledgeNet regarding best practices, a formal statement condemning racism, and advocacy for the “Black Lives Matter” advertisement in the New York Times. We have endorsed the granting of minority scholarships through the Architects Foundation, and promote a renewed relationship with the National Organization of Minority Architects (see “Step on a Path Toward Equity” by Edward Ransom, AIA, NOMA on BosNOMA). 5
CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE (Continued)
Next Year's Executive Committee As I leave the office of Chancellor, I want to thank my incredible 2020 COF Executive Committee for their hard work, innovative ideas, and unwavering support. Vice Chancellor John Castellana, FAIA , Bursar Roger Schluntz, FAIA, and Secretary Frances Halsband spent many hours online as we worked throughout the year. They will be joined this coming Focusing on Membership year by Ron Blitch, FAIA. Ron will also serve as our For our first Newsletter cover this year, we featured liaison to the Young Architects Forum (YAF), and the former Chancellors who were in attendance at Frances will be our ex-officio member of the Council the Inauguration, on the stairs at Headquarters. Our of Regional Representatives. second cover showcased all one hundred sixteen New Fellows as a way of offering consolation for them Call for Nominations - Secretary having no Investiture ceremony. The third quarter we You will see a call for nominations from Roger highlighted the Regional Representatives, applauding Schluntz, FAIA in this issue, to select the next their extraordinary effort in College governance. In this Secretary of the College of Fellows, who will final issue of 2020, we are recognizing the members, eventually serve as Chancellor in 2025. This position represented by thirty-five of them who showed up on is critical to the future of the College. I encourage Zoom at our annual COF Business Meeting. you to volunteer. As to other architectural matters, we communicated to the White House our opposition to the executive order attempting to define “good design” for federal projects. We also sent a formal protest regarding the selection of a non-architect to be installed as the new Architect of the Capital. Both met with limited success, but we did get our organization and our position out there.
Because the A’20 Conference on Architecture was cancelled, and the AIA Business Meeting was postponed, we decided to wait and held ours in October. This year’s meeting was online; although we could not meet in person, we were able to host more than two-hundredfifty (250) Fellows – the largest COF Business Meeting we have ever had. There is more detail later in this issue.
The New 2021 Chancellor John Castellana, FAIA had a wonderful online inauguration on December 9th, and begins the New Year as the 59th Chancellor of the College of Fellows. That event will be covered in the next issue of the COF Newsletter. John will be a terrific Chancellor and I wish him the best in the coming year.
Peter Kuttner, FAIA 2020 Chancellor

REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE CHAIR’S MESSAGE The year end message!
Hey Friends! It has been quite a year…fortunately it will soon be 2021. This year has been a test of our patience and of our resolve. It is natural to feel sad about all that is happening in our world right now, the friends and family we can’t be with, and the hugs we have been missing. As I write this letter on Thanksgiving weekend, I am thinking, as you surely are as well, about all I have to be grateful for - most importantly my wonderful partner and my families, both personal and professional. This year, I am particularly grateful for my recovery from a bicycle accident during the summer. And, I have learned a lot about staying in touch through Zoom, not just with clients and colleagues, but with friends we now “see” more than we did before the pandemic. I am sure that many of you have had similar experiences. Perhaps it is a good idea to take a moment and think of all the things we have to look forward to. High on my list is the opportunity to gather together at the A’21 conference in Philadelphia
8
next June where we will be able to celebrate for the first time TWO cohorts of Fellows, the 2020 and the 2021 classes. Remember, Fellowship is about bettering our profession through giving back. Only about 3.5% of all AIA members are Fellows, and of those Fellows, only about 3% make an annual gift to the College. Let's change that this year. Let's up the percentage so we can achieve the remarkable things in our world that we all aspire to. In the last few weeks, you should have received a request from your COF Regional Representatives for your annual donation. Please give what you can - and make it a yearly habit! I have had a number of you ask specifically what the money we raise is used to support. I am delighted to elaborate. 1. We provide opportunity for Young Architects & Emerging Professionals.
REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE CHAIR’S MESSAGE (Continued)
“You should have received a request form from your COF Regional Representatives for your annual donation. Please give what you can, and make it a yearly habit!" Jeanne Jackson, FAIA
• The College of Fellows has established a component grants fund to assist AIA components in the development of programs which foster the mission of Young Architects and Associates. These funds may be used to enhance the activities of an existing Emerging Professionals group or as seed money to help start a new one. • • Emerging talent deserves recognition. The AIA Young Architects Award honors individuals who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and made significant contributions to the architecture profession early in their careers. The COF provides an honorarium to each Young Architect Award recipient, frequently allowing their travel to the annual Conference to become a reality.
two-year program of research selected by jury review. The grant, named for Architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe, is awarded for research leading to significant advances in the architecture profession. For details on current and previous research, click here. • The AIA Upjohn Research Initiative supports applied research projects that enhance the value of design and professional practice knowledge. The program funds up to six research grants of $15,000 to $30,000 annually for projects completed within an 18-month period. For details on the research, click here. As always, please feel free to reach out to me if I can help answer other questions, or to share your ideas.

Peter Kuttner, FAIA 2020 Chancellor
“As with everything else, this year's meeting was online through Zoom. While it was disappointing to not meet faceto-face, online we were able to gather over 250 Fellows." Peter Kuttner, FAIA
As noted in the “Chancellor’s Message,” our
2020 Annual Business Meeting for the AIA College of Fellows Fund, Inc. was postponed until October this year. Ordinarily we gather on Saturday afternoon at the annual Conference on Architecture. With A’20 in Los Angeles canceled, the AIA Business Meeting was rescheduled for September. We waited for National’s session, and then held ours October 1st. As with everything else, this year’s meeting was online through Zoom. While it was disappointing to not meet face-to-face, online we were able to gather over 250 Fellows. We had a good mix of new Fellows, Regional Representatives, and Former Chancellors, along with many who have never attended a COF Business Meeting before. As a result, we had the largest COF Fund Annual Business Meeting we have ever had.

WHY WE GIVE ! “Why do I give? Decades of involvement and eventual leadership roles with both the AIA and the College of Fellows enhanced my practice and created professional associations and lasting friendships throughout the world. This is why I support the College - to provide similar opportunities for younger generations of architects.” Sylvester Damianos, FAIA Verona, Pennsylvania
“Being named a Fellow in the AIA is not the end of the road. It is the beginning of doing more.”
Raymond "Skipper" Post, FAIA Baton Rouge, Louisiana
“Being a member of the AIA brings a voice to the dreams and passion I embraced as a youth, and becoming a Fellow gave validation to that passion. Giving back to the College of Fellows is a natural response to what I have received. Part of my work is historic preservation and looking to the future is a key facet. I am proud to allocate a portion of my estate to insure the future stability of the College of Fellows. I encourage other Fellows to do the same.”
16
Robert L. Ooley, FAIA Santa Barbara, California
“Those that are members of the AIA College of Fellows are the thought leaders of the profession. In addition to our responsibility to lead, is the opportunity to support the mission of the College financially. The reason I give annually is that the College and its purpose serves as the “Gold Standard” of what we are about as architects.” Ronald L. Skaggs, FAIA Plano, Texas
“I strongly believe that Fellowship in the AIA supports those of us who care deeply about making the world a better place through the practice of architecture. I give to the College of Fellows because it provides me a way to support the profession I love. Victor A. Regnier, FAIA Los Angeles, California
“The AIA’s College of Fellows is remarkable, terrific and worthy! Your gifts support young aspiring architects through the Young Architects Forum and help fund important research. Give now, give often!” George H. Miller, FAIA New York City, New York

Feature
COF Regional Representative of the Year -Stuart Pettitt, FAIA by John Castellana, FAIA
22
“Aside from being a Fellow, AIA fellowship in general has always been a great benefit for me of being in the AIA, starting locally and then nationally.” Stuart Pettitt, FAIA
W
e are pleased to highlight Stu Pettitt, FAIA who was selected as our 2020 Council of Regional Representatives “Representative of the Year” for his outstanding leadership in helping to secure major contributions for the COF Fund from the Michigan Fellows! I have personally known Stu for over 30 years first as a professional colleague with AIA Detroit and AIA Michigan. Our work together grew into a long and lasting friendship. Stu’s dad, Jay Pettitt, FAIA, a very active member of AIA Detroit, AIA Michigan and AIA National, was a wonderful role model for Stu as he continues the legacy that Jay began...
JC: So, did you achieve positive results? SP: I was a bit disappointed that we did not get 100% participation in Michigan. We are trying again in 2020. The actual 73% participation was good enough and Michigan did win the Fellows competition against all the other states and regions by a significant margin! In 2020, the other Regional Representatives should develop their own campaigns and boost up participation nationally. JC: What did you learn from the whole process?
Stuart Pettitt (SP): Well, at the A’19 Conference in Las Vegas at the Regional Representative meeting, Ron Blitch, FAIA, leader of the Regional Representatives, presented a challenge to all Regional Representatives to raise money for the Fellows Fund. In fact, he stated that this would be a competition - and I took it seriously.
SP: Well, after requesting the Michigan Fellows to contribute to the Fellows Fund, many asked me what the funds would be used for. Personally, I felt committed to contribute, like I said, because I was a member of the organization. But I, of course, had to have a better answer than that. Looking into it a bit more, the support of the Latrobe Prize, the support of Emerging Professionals, along with simply supporting the College of Fellows seemed to be great answers. This evidently was a satisfactory explanation for anyone who asked. Also, just being asked by a longtime professional friend was all it took to get a positive response.
JC: What did you do?
JC: Anything else?
SP: I know most of the Fellows in Michigan and developed a plan to raise funds for our Fellows Fund by contacting each one until they all contributed. The plan was a simple email request. The email request was repeated on a regular basis only for those left who had not yet contributed (a few in person and phone call requests were mixed in as needed).
SP: Another key takeaway is the need for persistence or maybe even obnoxiousness. A tenacious attitude was developed where the Fellows realized that the email requests would not stop until they responded positively. When the 2020 fundraising campaign recently started, more than half . the Michigan Fellows contributed right away knowing that, if they did not, they would be contacted again (and again). 23
John Castellana (JC): Michigan had the highest percentage participation in Fellows Fund contributions in 2019 of all regions or states. Did you have anything to do with that?
“There are so many good reasons for young architects to get involved professionally, such as joining an AIA National committee, and we all have to make a better effort to encourage this” Stuart Pettitt, FAIA
JC: How did you become a Regional Representative for the Fellows in Michigan? SP: Alan Cobb, FAIA who was the previous Michigan Regional Representative asked me and I am a sucker for volunteerism (always have been). I did not have much of a clue what a Regional Representative was or did but I thought I would give it a try. Also, I have a thought about organizations in general. If I am in an organization, I have an obligation to participate and contribute. Otherwise, what would be the purpose? I likely learned this from my father, Jay Pettitt, FAIA, who always seemed to participate in many professional endeavors. JC: Are Fellows active in Michigan? SP: Michigan has a long time Fellows Committee, headed up by Bob Ziegelman, FAIA, that mentors younger professionals and advises those applying for Fellowship. The monthly meetings allow the Fellows to stay in contact usually culminating in dinner and discussions, at least before the pandemic restrictions. We did manage to carry on virtually this year anyway. JC: Would you like to continue to be active in the College of Fellows? SP: Sure, wherever there is a need. I would like

further involvement and Roger has already asked me to participate on the Nominating Committee. I look forward to that as it will allow me to get to know some of the other Fellow members. Aside from being a Fellow, AIA fellowship in general has always been one of the great benefits for me of being in the AIA, starting locally and then nationally. JC: What are your other national AIA activities? SP: I have been active in the AIA Committee on Architecture for Education for twenty years and was on the Leadership Group for five years, culminating as Chair in 2018. That year the Committee worked hard to make sure the AIA was speaking out on current issues, specifically helping with “Where we stand: School design and student safety”. JC: Any thoughts for other Architects? SP: I have developed architect friends all around the country and can ask any of them design or technical questions. I have learned so much that helped me in my work from Committee participation and involvement. There are so many good reasons for young architects to get involved professionally, such as joining an AIA National committee, and we all have to make a better effort to encourage this.

Clare Henry Day, FAIA
Celebrating the 100th birthday of a California architect by Yu-Ngok Lo, FAIA
T
he corona virus pandemic has been disrupting our lives for almost a year now. The news has been daily dominated by grim milestones and sad numbers on COVID-19 related new cases and deaths. Fortunately, there is one number that is worth celebrating. I am happy to learn that a member of the AIA College of Fellows, Mr. Clare Henry Day, FAIA, from Redlands, California, just turned 100 years old this year! That is definitely encourage and hopeful news. On behalf of the AIA College of Fellows, congratulations to Mr. Day again on this great achievement! I was honored to have the opportunity to chat with Mr. Day on the phone. He continues to inspire younger Fellows like myself and generously allowed me to include an article documenting his lifetime experiences. Mr. Day was born on November 6th, 1920 at Fort Lewis, Washington. He completed six and a half years of military service with a stint in the Infantry, then the Air Corps, before being commissioned in the Signal Corps. Mr. Day attended the British Code and Cipher School and the American Cryptographic School in England. He served his duties in Africa, Sicily, Italy and Yugoslavia. After he returned home to the United States, Mr. Day served his remaining time at several Air Sea Rescue and Coastal Defense Installations on the west coast, namely California. After he completed his military services, he attended the University of Cincinnati and received a B.S. in Arch. degree in 1950. Mr. Day told me, " My interest in architecture started in high school when visiting a neighborhood's friend house whose father was an architect and subscribed to an architectural publication
titled “PENCIL POINTS�. It so engaged my interest that the desire never left me. It was important that I become an Architect." Although Mr. Day was regarded by many as a residential architect, he did in fact have a very broad practice, including churches, schools, post offices, commercial, medical, governmental, planning, and consulting. Mr. Day started his own practice in Redlands, California in 1952 immediately after he obtained his architect license. In his sixty-four-years-long practice, Mr. Day designed numerous beautiful and sustainable projects throughout Southern California. In his words, "Architectural practice should consist of sustainable design and reflect the best in climate friendly design." His projects include the Gillespie Residence, the Banta Residence, and the Marcum Residence, all of which had a profound impact on residential design in Southern California - and , that is just mentioning a few of many. We concluded our conversation with the question: "What does AIA Fellowship mean to you?" Mr. Day said the AIA Fellowship is a great honor to him. He also recognizes the obligations of sharing knowledge and responsibility to the built environment. At age 100, Mr. Day continues to mentor emerging professionals and inspire future architects. Mr. Day ended our conversation with a sense of humor, "At 100 years of age, I am impressed with my own sustainability." Mr. Day has been a role model for many architects, including myself. I am grateful for the wisdom Mr. Day continues to bring to our profession. 25
