About AIA On February 23, 1857, 13 architects met in Richard Upjohn’s office to form what would become The American Institute of Architects. The group included H. W. Cleaveland, Henry Dudley, Leopold Eidlitz, Edward Gardiner, Richard Morris Hunt, J. Wrey Mould, Fred A. Peterson, J. M. Priest, John Welch, and Joseph C. Wells, as well as Upjohn’s son Richard and son-in-law Charles Babcock. The group sought to create an architecture organization that would “promote the scientific and practical perfection of its members” and “elevate the standing of the profession.” Until this point, anyone who wished to call him or herself an architect could do so. This included masons, carpenters, bricklayers, and other members of the building trades. No schools of architecture or architectural licensing laws existed to shape the calling. The first steps of this small group of 13 were to change the profession of architecture in the United States profoundly. At their meeting, the founding members decided to invite 16 other architects, including A. J. Davis, Thomas U. Walter, and Calvert Vaux, to the second meeting on March 10, 1857. A draft constitution and bylaws were read there, and the only change made was to the name of the organization, at that time the New York Society of Architects. Thomas U. Walter, a well-known Philadelphia practitioner, suggested The American Institute of Architects. Over time, membership in the AIA has grown from the original 29 members in 1857, to 11,500 in 1957, to 72,000 in 2003 to over 90,000 in 2018. From the beginning, membership in the Institute was to be limited to practicing architects. Provisions were made to allow associate members to join, as well as honorary members and honorary corresponding members (architects from other countries). Today, the AIA has four membership classifications: AIA (licensed architects), Associate AIA (interns, academics, non-licensed architects), FAIA (Fellows of the AIA), and AIA Emeritus (retired licensed architects). Today, through education, government advocacy, community redevelopment and public outreach activities, the AIA works toward a public environment that is responsive to the people it serves while representing the professional interests of America’s architects. In close concert with other members of the design and construction team, the AIA also works to fulfill its commitment to help coordinate the building industry. As members of the AIA, more than 90,000 licensed architects and associated professionals express their commitment to quality design and livability in our built environment.

CITIZEN ARCHITECT
About the Citizen Architect STARTING IN THE SUMMER OF 2016, AIA Georgia sought to create a publication that would speak to it’s new focus of uplifting architects to do more in the communities they live and serve. Following in the steps of noted architect Samuel Mockbee, the Citizen Architect newsletter came into fruition. Highlighting the work of locals who have gone beyond the call of duty of their profession to serve the public, the newsletters quickly shifted into a magazine publication. This year marks the first combined venture of our annual Resource Guide with the Citizen Architect publication. We hope you enjoy!
The Resource Guide The Resource Guide is AIA Georgia’s annual publication detailing the membership on updates within the State and handed down from our National chapter in Washington, D.C. Since 1972, the Resource Guide has been a constant source of information for AIA Georgia providing updates on local, state and national concerns. In the Resource Guide you will find board rosters, event recaps, this year’s Design and Honor Award winners, information on programs and articles from both architects and allied professionals. Lastly, look to the Resource Guide for the most up to date contract documents listing.

Why should I hire an architect? They will listen to you As collaborative, approachable partners, architects will listen to your concerns and requests throughout every design process. They design solutions An architect’s education and experience allows him or her to not only solve problems but avoid them. They transform communities An architect’s work turns a place into a community. They look beyond the blueprints and buildings and seek to improve the lives of people in a community. They strengthen society Architects help to make our communities safer, healthier and more livable. They guide collective visions and help transform lives.
What can an architect do for me? In a recent survey*, homeowners look to architects to... • Deliver a quality result • Understand and comply with building codes • Integrate the homeowner’s design/style Aside from design services and documentation, architects can also provide: • Construction management • Zoning process assistance • Site analysis and selection • Bidding and negotiation • Furniture and equipment installation • Testing and inspection • Full-time, on-site project management 8
CITIZEN ARCHITECT
Do I need to renovate? Probably. For every 10 single-family homes, nine are at least 15 years old.* The chances are high that it’s time for an updated kitchen or an addition to your home.
How much will it cost? Home renovation costs can vary given the size and scope of the project. Discuss with your architect how to work within your budget to provide you the best possible solution and design for your project. * Source: Houzz & Home, 2016. Overview of U.S. Renovation in 2015.
How to find an architect Referrals One of the best ways to find the architect that’s right for you begins with finding homes or buildings you admire. Then, ask the owner who designed them. AIA Local Chapter Contact your local chapter of the American Institute of Architects. Many offer house tours or presentations by local architects, where you can ask questions and get ideas.

Georgia State Board of Architects and Interior Designers Board The Georgia General Assembly created the Georgia State Board of Architects in 1919 to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by regulating the activities of persons engaged in the architectural profession. Applicants for architect registration must obtain sufficient education, complete an internship and pass the national examination. The Board has the authority to adopt rules, set standards for licensure, adopt mandatory standards of professional conduct, and investigate and discipline unauthorized, negligent or incompetent practice. In 1992, Georgia law was amended to provide for the registration of interior designers, and the Board was given the authority to adopt rules to set standards for such registration. Applicants for interior design registration must obtain sufficient education and pass a national examination. In 2000, legislation was enacted to change the name of the Board to the Georgia State Board of Architects and Interior Designers. The Board is comprised of nine members appointed by the Governor. Six members are registered architects, two members are registered interior designers, and one member is appointed from the public at large. All members are appointed for terms of five years. Board meetings are open to the public and are generally held at the Office of Secretary of State, Professional Licensing Boards Division office in Macon. Meeting dates, time and location are posted on the website. Persons wishing to submit complaints or other matters for Board consideration should submit the matter in writing to the office.

What architectural movement most influenced your work? I think the architectural movement I like the best is Arts and Crafts. The concept that the characteristic of the material itself is the “decoration” has great sustainable influences. 2. What is the best project you’ve ever worked on? When I was with THW I was the Project Architect on the Marriott at Sawgrass which I was able to work on from inception all the way through Grand Opening. Wow what a great learning experience and I was able to visit Florida, which is where I am from. Because it was a hotel, I learned about guest rooms, spas, restaurants, and conference centers. 3. What is an architect or project you admire, both local and non-local? I have to say, after being in this profession for 37 years, I admire the creativity and perseverance of all architects whether interns or Fellows. It is a challenging business on all sides and takes a personal dedication to be successful. 4. What is your favorite place to just be? On the beach in Ft. Myers Florida, where I am from. 5. Did you always want to start your own firm or did you decide later in life? What made you make the jump? I never had a grand plan but was able to take advantage of opportunities when they arose. I always tried to give 120% so when an opportunity arose, I would be recommended. This led to an opportunity to join Carol Richard in her practice in 1991.
6. What challenges did you face when you first started? What challenges do you continually face? I think the thing that, for us, the scariest thing was hiring that first employee. As owners, you can take or not take salary, but with employees you have to be bringing in the projects that will support them. The challenges we continually face is just that, competing for work and keeping everyone busy. I know the firm can produce great work, so that is not the challenge. 7. Would you advise young architects to start their own practice? What are the “requirements”: experience, design, money, etc. that you would say are a necessity to take that step? Yes, I would advise that young architects start their own practice. I would say that approximately 8-10 years of experience, being licensed and following the licensing laws of the state are imperatives. You will learn so much and appreciate the hard work your employers did to give you the experience to be able to start your own firm. 8. Do you think there are skills or traits that women generally tend to possess which are of benefit in this field? I think that women are less driven by ego and more by figuring out ways for everyone to participate, get credit and be elevated by their experiences. 9. What do you see as some of the challenges for women in architecture? I think there are many opportunities for women in Architecture, but it does take a lot of hard work and understanding the business world as well as architecture. The upper levels of many firms we work for or are employed by are still managed by men and there is a difference between how men and women conduct business. 10. What woman in architecture do you most admire? I admire all the women who came before me, especially the minority women, who now have their own businesses. 11. Do you have a family? No, my husband passed away from cancer a

number of years ago. My sister and her husband live in town and my brother and his wife live in Ft. Myers, Florida. 12. Do you have children? Do you think that made it harder for you as an architect to advance in your career? No, I don’t have children, but yes, without a life partner dedicated to sharing the work of bringing up children it can be a challenge on any career. That did not stop us as a firm from hiring women with children and helping them accommodate their busy lives. 13. Do you believe in the idea that women can have it all: “career and families”? It can be done but you have to be very deliberate about it and plan how you are going to achieve it. 14. What would you say to young women architects about the right time to focus on family vs. career? It is different for everyone, they have to look at their particular situation and make a plan that keeps them up to date on technology and the changing architectural influences. It doesn’t seem to work well to “drop out” of the profession for an extended number of years. n CARMEN STAN, A I A

A new kind of firm flexibility How co-working just might be the future of firms and how the industry is tailoring experiences for the profession.
MORE THAN EVER, architects are branching out of their large firms to explore what may be the greener pastures of entrepreneurship. The economy has forced many young associates to hustle to reach the wealth of their more established counterparts, learning to market themselves and their abilities in their own smaller side ventures. The industry is vast, and architecture professionals are finding themselves at a turning point in the age of the millennial. Co-working spaces are all the rage and are proving to be a useful tool to those architects exploring entrepreneurship. They are popping up in storefronts and in office buildings looking to rebrand themselves. Companies like WeWork and Industrious are exploding all over Atlanta, and smaller boutique style versions like Regus and SharedSpace are making their homes in Savannah and Augusta. The mad rush of these group working environments has created the space for niche membership co-working communities designed to serve a particular type of clientele. Constellations, a new and relatively small coworking space on historic Auburn Avenue, in Atlanta boasts a mission to provide a “civic and socially-based shared workspace where stars come together and shine.” This is a sexy way of saying they have dedicated their private offices and studies to those companies and organizations make a positive difference. Matt Finn, AIA, the interior architect, has even set up shop for his own small firm in a Constellations “field office.” San Francisco and St. Louis’s Covo environments opened to much fanfare for providing co-working opportunities dedicated to those in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) profession.

library, plotters, and industry-specific educational and networking events. Carving an AEC haven out of Covo, Good Design partnership provides the extra oomph to give accessibility to AEC professionals and entice small firms to consider shared environments. Rebecca Brian Pan, CEO of Covo, found her desire to make an accessible workspace countered when she found she hadn’t considered another group of people. “We learned from the founders of Urban Fabrick, a sustainability consultancy, that we were leaving a group out, and so was almost everyone else. Architects, engineers, and designers struggle to find office space in expensive cities, as well as have specific needs that make nearly all coworking spaces a challenge.” ColeHil, a small, minority, female-owned firmed out of Atlanta, carved out their own space in Colony Square’s
28
WeWork location. With staff in both Douglasville and downtown Atlanta, WeWork provides a central hub but also the ability to work in any location all over the world (an office everywhere). Nicole Hilton, co-founder of ColeHil shares, “We wanted to design a firm work environment that was conducive to creatives. We really aren’t made to sit behind a desk... and there’s the ability to grow in space without an up-charge immediately.” The biggest downfall, she notes, is lack of storage space but WeWork offers “great amenities, including a meditation room and discounts.” From quiet offices to a bustling common hub, co-working serves a mix of work styles and the needs of unique business models all over the world. Consider flexible offices in your city. Use sites like coworker.com to search and narrow down the right fit for your firm. n LYNN ROBINSON

An Interview with Rich Cole, AIA

CITIZEN ARCHITECT
RETIRED DEAN OF THE COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, KENNESAW STATE UNIVERSITY CHRIS WELTY, AIA HAS SPENT A CONSIDERABLE amount of his career in education, teetering between his own multimedia design company Weltyworld, and teaching. A Georgia Tech graduate, he found his calling in combining his talents as an architect and tech aficionado at then Southern Polytechnic State University, now Kennesaw State University, in the College of Architecture and Construction Management. Working directly with students in this way has transformed his idea about the direction of the profession and creates an outlet for new and exciting approaches to design and problem solving through architecture. In this, Chris fuses creative with the practical preparing students for their careers and life as a professional. Richard “Rich” Cole, AIA, the former fearless leader of the college at Kennesaw (and a Georgia Tech grad himself) brings with him decades of experience in practice and higher education. His retirement, while a tremendously sad loss to the school, is also a chance to reflect on the growth of the program, the profession, and ways to look forward. Chris sat down with Rich and talked shop, or should we say studio... CHRIS: It has been a long journey, and you are coming up to the end of your career. RICH: I know, I know. Who would have thought, you and I, we’ve known each other for quite some time. I remember when you were a youngster, I could trick you into doing some of my work. Then you got wise. CHRIS: I don’t fall for that anymore! What I’d love for you to do is share a little about how you got here; your background... RICH: I attended Georgia Tech, and I graduated in 1974, and then I went on to get a masters degree at Georgia Tech. I knew nothing about how to screw buildings together, but I could draw pretty good pictures of buildings… of a cool magazine, hip kind of things… So I kind of moved around from firm to firm as a hired gun drawing pictures of buildings. So anyway, as it worked out, I was in a firm in Buckhead, and the principles had gotten older and wanted to retire. One of the ways you can move into ownership is to buy one out, and that’s what I did. I was a principal for about 15 years as an associate, and then I came out to what was then Southern Tech. That’s what everyone called it. I actually came in 1982 as an adjunct. CHRIS: So you’ve seen a lot of changes over the years. RICH: Oh, yes. I’ve seen changes in the profession — changes in academia. I’ve certainly seen changes with Southern Polytechnic State University. CHRIS: As we kind of evolved from SPSU to KSU (Kennesaw State

University). What has been some of the changes in the way we teach architecture to students. RICH: I think overall, it’s been a good thing. I was skeptical about the consolidation, but I was proved wrong. We are better resourced. Students are benefited, architecture students and others, because we are in a larger community with other disciplines, and I think that’s a good thing. We need to take advantage of that. If we take a trajectory of involving our architecture and construction management students— if that trajectory leads to more understanding, sensitivity, relationship to other disciplines that are now available to us more easily. I think that’s
a good thing. When you and I did a collaboration with game design, and we needed a musical score, I don’t know if you remember, we had to cut a deal with a school in Brooklyn because we didn’t have that. But now we the college of the arts, we have the resource to do that. It’s easier now, and we have to take advantage of it. CHRIS: So in that thought of collaboration. How does the school reach out to the profession more? RICH: Well, the profession wants certain
CITIZEN ARCHITECT
things from us. What they would like in a perfect world would be that our graduates would hit the ground running and know how to screw a building together. That would probably mean we’d work as more of a trade school than an academy where we are providing a way of critically thinking about problems. Not just architecture problems but societal problems. I think that’s the kind of architect the profession wants eventually — someone who can take pride and see the world comprehensively. We can do what we do pretty well— teaching them how to think. We need a better understanding between the academy and the profession. We each have our strengths, and we need to respect our strengths. CHRIS: I have heard from quite a few practitioners that the ability to think and solve a problem is as important as anything we do. When we start to talk about architecture students, what makes a great architecture student? RICH: I think you are a better student if you have a sensitivity. Do I really hear other people, am I really here? Am I hearing you and feeling you so I can respond as a professional to what you need? Basically, doing more non-architecture things will make you a better architect. CHRIS: We’ve often even thought about some of the tools we use impeding the decision-making process? How do you value sketching in this digital world? RICH: I think it’s so important. I have to kind of be careful because its so old school I guess, but I’ve often thought that you kind of have to see something and demonstrate that you can actually kind of see it because you can draw it. I think you think in terms of design-think with more clarity. I would often say about buildings to my young students, particularly when they were so involved in learning digital ways of portraying buildings, I would say just what does the building look like to you? If I’m just crossing the street, what does it look like? Just draw me a picture; what does it look like? And, they struggle with that because of time constraints and its not what schools in general focus on like when you and I were in school.
2019 RESOURCE GUIDE
So anyway I would say, just draw a threedimensional sketch of what it looks like from here with all the grid lines, ground lines, station point, all that kind of stuff and they would think I was magical or it was voodoo or something but this is teachable! Although I do believe if you can draw upside down on a cocktail napkin and push it to a client, you’re magical. They want to pay you! CHRIS: In your career, who was the most influential architect you studied? RICH: So, I didn’t study this person, but I’m proud to say it was someone from Georgia Tech, Dale Durfee. When I entered Georgia Tech as a young freshman in 1970, he was a very young man. He was brand new to Georgia Tech, hadn’t been there long, and he was so tough, so passionate and just funny as hell— one of the funniest people I’ve ever been around— I learned a lot about myself just surviving him. He was brilliant but he was just so tough. CHRIS: Demanding… RICH: Very demanding, and I miss him a lot. There are a lot of famous architects out there I know, but to me, Dale was famous. CHRIS: That’s great. So as you look back on your teaching career, have you ever thought about all the students that you’ve impacted? Like Dale? RICH: I the last few years I have because there’s this phenomenon when a student will come to me and say you taught my father or mother. I’m like really? You wish there would be something profound they’d say, you know how you impacted them, but usually a funny story they’d remember. I remember one person who said that one of her parents said that they had recorded my lectures and would listen to them in the car while they were commuting to school. So I said wow that’s kind of cool, sounds neat and respectful, and they said oh no it’s nothing like that they just thought you were hilarious! n CHR IS WELT Y, A I A [This is a partial transcript] View the entire video interview at vimeo.com/aiageorgia

Atlanta Center for Creative Inquiry
EMERGING PROFESSIONAL AWARD
BRONZE MEDAL
Anthony Cissell, a graduate of Georgia’s Savannah College of Art and Design, has dedicated much of his early career to creating an impact in the Southeast region. His work with Sottile+Sottile has allowed him to recognize a passion for urban design and to become a confident and robust voice for humane planning and community engagement in architecture. Cissell provides council and workshops for city councils, design review boards and planning commissions while also engaging peers and students in design charettes.
The Atlanta Center for Creative Inquiry (ACCI) seeks to reverse trends showing a decline in the study and employment of under-represented students in careers concerned with the built environment. Its purpose is to get more students in the pipeline to pursue careers in architecture and other creative avenues through mentoring and exposure.
Also, Cissell has continued his relationship with his alma mater in his nationally award-winning work on the SCAD Museum of Art and serving as a professor of Architecture. This direct access to the shaping of future architects and designers and his meaningful participation in the student and local chapters of AIA are recognized and celebrated.
The Emerging Professional Award is given to individual AIA or Associate AIA members whose initial date of licensure in any US jurisdiction is less than 10 years and not more than 15 years after graduation) residing and licensed to practice architecture in Georgia. They are honored based on their contributions to the advancement of architectural design and design discourse through leadership in AIA at any level, community work, and/or mentorship.
2019 RESOURCE GUIDE
ACCI was initiated in 2004 by legendary architect Oscar Harris, in partnership with Georgia Tech and Benjamin Mays High School. It was envisioned as a demonstration project to introduce minority high school students to architecture and design early in life. The organization has mentored hundreds of students since 2004, with many going on to pursue careers in architecture, engineering, and construction fields. The organization’s unwavering commitment to the mentorship of the future leaders of the profession make their mission and vision and outstanding recipient of the Bronze Medal.
The Bronze Medal recognizes an individual or organization that uses their insights, talents, training, and experience to contribute meaningfully to the objectives of the American Institute of Architects to be the voice of the architectural profession and the resource for its members in service to society.

Learning to Fly NEIL DAWSON TALKS GROWTH, GUSTO, AND EYEING THE BIGGER PICTURE.
It’s a relatively chilly Friday morning and I can’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu. It’s all so familiar: the route, the humidity, the cold brew pit stop, the grasping of the architect scale door handle, the lingering reminder that I should have gone home before that last glass of wine the night before and the sound of the far too appreciable heeled trek up to the third floor honoring the ‘please use the stairs’ sign posted to the elevator door. ‘Routine’ is an understatement when describing my day-to-day life. Inefficiency basically intoxicates me, so why fight saved time and added structure? In the words of my favorite barista that can predict my arrival time daily, “I’d be easy

to murder.” It comes as no surprise then that I find myself standing here, nearly two years later, having completed my morning grind exactly as I had a thousand times before except for one tiny detail: this time I was a guest. A guest standing by in the impeccably industrial lobby of my old office anxiously awaiting a conversation with my former boss. With the go-ahead from the receptionist, I make my way back to Neil’s office. Someone else had just popped in to speak with him, so I indulged in a chat with his assistant prompting yet another reminder of a previous protocol; a daily drill so familiar it was if no time had passed.
73
+ FEATURED Here’s the thing with Neil: he’s pretty damn popular. Waiting is normal if you’d like to speak to him. When he walks in a room it’s a visible sea of feeder fish eager to capture his attention, so to get even a moment with him feels golden. If I was as in demand as he is, frankly I’d lose my mind. That’s a clear difference between he and I. I’d be spinning in circles wishing for the entire human race to disappear. Yet, when it’s my turn to speak with him I’m elegantly greeted with a big smile, a cup of espresso and a ‘Hey stranger! How are you?’ as though the whole world isn’t sitting on his doorstep. Truly, the finesse with which he handles his role is second to none. For that reason, among others, Neil was a clear fit for this conversation; one centered on mentorship stressing things like professional growth and business development. It was now my time to sit down and pick the brain of this tireless architectural force; a force of three decades of practice, countless awards, and unparalleled expertise in both business and design.
Here’s what he had to say:
My main role at this point is to develop leaders and bring out the best in people. Honestly, my technical skills are limited with respect to modern technology. It’s kind of funny that an intern should always be smarter than you in that regard if you hire the right person, so you can’t view those skills as the baseline of your professional development or you’d always be behind. I’m not saying that technical aspects are unimportant. You need to possess them to be successful, but that is not at all what mentorship is about. You can train almost anybody to draft and comply with codes. The real meat of evolving someone as a professional is developing their intellect and ability to make critical decisions that are more about life than technicalities. The term mentor is just hard. There is this sense like ‘I’ll sit down with this person every Wednesday’ which feels forced. It does not have to be a formal thing and I’m doubtful many relationships form out of things like ‘mentor socials.’ You should want to be

guided by someone you’ve observed specific characteristics in that you want for yourself. How could you possibly know that in one sitting? I think it is more important to identify people that make you think ‘I want to be like them’ or ‘I want what they have’ and emulate those individuals in order to grow. Truthfully, I think the best way to mentor is to lead by example.
Assembling a staff of various ages and personality types is vital to firm success and managing growth. You don’t want twenty people who are going to work at the firm for forty years until they retire, just like you don’t want twenty people who are going to threaten to leave every year. If you hired all wild horses with optimum drive, you’d never get anything done.
At 55, I’m still being mentored. You can always learn something from somebody, so I don’t think mentorship ever ceases to exist. Your goals change as you mature and continued growth will require new influences. I have four or five mentors I actively work with now. They all happen to be older than me, but that is not why I sought them. I sought them because they are people I like, respect, and want to intentionally continue growing in a direction that they have.
You’re a great example. I couldn’t hire twenty Jodies or they’d all leave. You have a natural drive for leadership and a personality that will continually want better. You’re not going to sit still; you’ll always keep pushing. I like having people like that around because it challenges me to find ways that I can make their role meaningful, but you can’t have too much of it.
Development is not at all about age. Teams need to be built around the great energy of youth, the expertise of seniority, and everyone in between; you can’t discount anyone at the table.
2019 RESOURCE GUIDE
It’s not hard for me to invest my time in mentoring someone like that; someone I sense might leave. You always know they’re going to. You want people like that; someone whose resume is always polished. I mean, mine was. A lot of firm owners won’t bother, but that’s not what it’s about. That
75
+ FEATURED same person will likely go on to do something great. You want to help them get there and be a part of that. It shouldn’t all be as competitive as people make it out to be. Thinking back over twenty-eight years of employees, I’ve probably had several hundred work for me; a lot of successful firm owners in town even. When I reflect on the ones that really turned out to be prosperous, you could sense who these people were instantly. It doesn’t all boil down to ‘oh, this guy has just got it.’ It’s more along the lines of: do they have an apparent desire to try? You have to be willing to put in a lot of effort to achieve success. If a person has that kind of drive, it’s obvious from the get-go. It’s also evident early on if it is important for a person to excel at their job or simply be content with a paycheck and a very good life. A lot of people don’t want any added attention and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Those people tend to be really effective workers. They don’t feel the need to get out and talk to people and are very task oriented. The employees that characteristically are good leaders, however, tend to not focus as well. You need a mix of both on a team; somebody who’s going to push and somebody who’s going to hoard. That way you have someone looking out for the bigger picture who can sit down with consultants and engage clients, while the other is simultaneously pushing project progress forward. That individual doesn’t necessarily require as much mentoring, but they do need to know that what they’re doing is absolutely just as important. They say one leader can effectively manage five to seven people. If you’re the only leader, you’re going to have a five to seven-person firm. Once you have a partner, now you can grow to fifteen or so and be okay. So, what do you do if you’re LS3P? That’s part of why I wanted to merge. I had experienced one person, two partners, a principal and three great project managers; various multiples of five and seven. It’s not any harder or different when you’re LS3P and have 350 people. It just means you have more really effective leaders that can motivate and manage their own groups. When you are lucky enough to have in house

mentors like that, the synergy is totally liberating. Work is getting done. People are managing themselves. Employees not only want to succeed, but they want their friends that they work with to as well. It’s a pretty special thing. I know a lot of firms are transitioning to a more virtual workplace, claiming they can operate ‘just as well over technology.’ Well, that’s not true. I think everybody over there would agree that there’s a natural learning environment that occurs in a studio setting. The energy that comes from this mixing of people is more about organizational dynamics than mentorship. You learn about other people’s lives, problems, and backgrounds. This in-person interaction of different ages, experience levels, ethnicities, sexes, and whatever else you want to throw into the mix, is all part of the dynamic and is crucial to the main goal: facilitating growth. It enables the development of better-rounded people and, to me, it makes life more enjoyable. Sincere mentorship isn’t career-specific. It goes beyond employment; the bottom line is we’re all people. I’ve learned many lessons from my mentors that are as important to me personally as they are professionally. They’ve taught me to always keep an eye on the bigger picture. They’re not the kind of people trying to win every battle, and they understand that what you do with your life is more important than what you do with the moment. That’s an essential mindset, so I try my best to mimic it. We shake hands, part ways and I re-enter that infamous stairwell. As I clunk my way down the concrete treads, I can’t help but walk away inspired, thinking: does Neil realize how gracefully he exudes exactly that? I’ve got some emulating of my own to do. n QUINTER, A I A

Community Engagement & Civic Leadership COMMUNITY DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT is becoming more popular as people abandon the suburban sprawl for more closeknit living in town. As architects, we have the responsibility to embrace this direction and adapt our practice to better engage with the communities in which we build. Architects provide interesting problem solving perspectives that can bridge the worlds between developers and residents, so we should strive to implement community engagement plans when a challenging or impactful project arises, to ensure the most successful outcome for all. It is also important to portray a strong but understanding image in the face of the public. Perception is key, so if a plan or project is delivered in such a way that the community feels heard, they will then be confident their best interest is being considered. One of the more dynamic methods to engage the community is to be involved in a civic role; to be invested in the community yourself. By investing time and contributing to non-profit organizations or volunteer opportunities, we can become integral in developing the community from a social platform, not just on a project by project basis. The opportunities to volunteer within organizations, such as the American Institute of Architects, provide perspectives and insights that allow professionals to better engage the public. While devoting time, attention, and resources to social aspects of the community, we can strengthen our ability to have a positive and lasting impact on the design of those communities. n JOSHUA CRE WS, A I A & L AUR A MORTON, A I A

Tips from AIA Whether you are just getting started out in your career or you are a seasoned professional, there are ways to level up in your skills to engage the public PUBLIC SPEAKING As an architect, you know design is crucial. Place that same value in how you communicate and structure your message. Thoughtful design allows your listener to remember what you say and addresses questions and comments in a clear and concise way. Using well-designed messages in your responses will help the listener feel like he or she has been heard. Adding proof points in the form of stories or quotes help strengthen and support the message. MEDIA Local media are always looking for interesting stories about their community, and architects can help them with that search. Don’t hesitate to contact the media and share a story idea about your project, showing how its design will have a positive impact on the community.
Go further! Purchase advertising, author your own articles, get involved in civic organizations, and get in front of school boards and other community groups.

Advocating for architecture both locally and nationally is a great way to have your voices heard and show the expertise architects have in making better communities. Day at the Capitol makes it easy by putting architects in front
We hope our attendees will gain skills in advocating with confidence and conviction for their components, firms, communities, and the profession, while also making important connections with legislators and peers.

Blueprint for Better
A FILM VIEWING AND PANEL ON TOPICS THAT MATTER
AFFORDABLE HOUSING
Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum wage is $7.25 for those covered under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. To afford a modest one-bedroom apartment at fair market value (FMR) at this rate, a person must work 87 hours per week. This staggering figure from the 2019 National Low Income Housing Coalition report shows the very real fears of lowincome residents in the state. These numbers, pulled from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), are representative of a growing concern for communities across Georgia
and a challenge for local design professionals. Blueprint for Better is a national initiative by the American Institute of Architects to encourage the profession to use their expertise to tackle key issues through the power of good design. The concept comes to Georgia in the form of a film viewing and a diverse panel of speakers committed in different ways of addressing the problem. Each Blueprint for Better event addresses a different issue important to Georgia.

+ CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
The Announcement of the Decade Revised AIA core documents are now available Like the Agave Americana, the plant that blooms every ten years, the core set of AIA Contract Documents is only updated every ten years. This ensures your design and construction projects are protected against changing industry trends and needs. In the 2017 versions of AIA contracts, you can now use fill points to prompt the parties to discuss and insert a “Termination Fee” when necessary, and there is a new evaluation provision by the architect, if the contractor proposes alternative means and methods. Plus, make any AIA contract appropriate for a sustainable project with the new Sustainable Exhibit. Download free samples at aiacontracts.org/aiachapter
AIA Contract Documents The American Institute of Architects publishes more than 120 contracts and administrative forms that are recognized throughout the design and construction industry as the benchmark documents for managing transactions and relationships involved in construction projects. The AIA’s prominence in the field is based on 130 years of experience creating and updating its documents. DOCUMENT DEVELOPMENT AIA Documents Committee and staff. The AIA Documents Committee is a standing committee of 30 to 40 licensed architects and AIA members. The Committee’s work is aided by insurance and other special advisors, outside legal counsel, and AIA staff, including in-house attorneys. Members of the Documents Committee are actively engaged in the design and construction industry through employment in architectural firms or construction companies, or for building owners or developers. New members are appointed to maintain a balance of viewpoints based on diversity of geography, firm size, practice type, and area of expertise. REVISION CYCLE AIA Contract Documents are generally revised and updated every 10 years, but potentially more often depending upon industry trends. In 2017, the AIA updated 34 core documents from its design/bid-build family, including A201-2017, General Conditions of the Construction Contract.

In 2019, the Blueprint for Better campaign brings to life the role of architects as thought and action leaders in improving our cities, towns, and neighborhoods. One of AIA’s main goals this year is to strengthen partnerships with civic leaders and elected officials. We want architects to have a key seat at the table when important civic decisions are made.
About Blueprint for Better
AIA Film Challenge
To be an architect is to create a Blueprint for Better. Working with our communities, we build better structures and spaces to serve our clients and the public. That means better structures and spaces to serve the needs of clients and the public. Using built solutions to address issues like climate change, affordable housing, and school safety, architects are at the forefront of solving problems at every level. Creating a Blueprint for Better is more than a profession, it’s what architects are called to do.
The fifth annual AIA Film Challenge invites architects and filmmakers to collaborate to bring architectural stories to life in three to five-minute short films. This year, participants will highlight architects and civic leaders working together toward positive community impact. The AIA Film Challenge is designed to garner maximum engagement and encourage quality content based on the Blueprint for Better theme.
Campaign goals • Encourage architects to collaborate with civic and elected leaders • Demonstrate how architects can help solve the important issues of our time • Evolve the perception of architects to true thought and action leaders Architects as leaders With a focus on thought leadership and influence, this year’s Blueprint for Better campaign will focus on strategic partnerships and community engagement: • Architects will facilitate design thinking workshops with members of the community during Chicago Ideas Week. • AIA will promote the value of architecture to mayors at key events and meetings, including US Conference of Mayors, Mayors Innovation Project, the mayors’ summit at SXSW. • The campaigns media efforts will partner with the innovative Wired Magazine.
Documentary short Launching the AIA Film Challenge in June 2019, the newest short documentary will expand on the theme of Blueprint for Better. Using compelling interviews and imagery, this film will tell the story of architects’ positive impact on their community. Distributed across digital and social channels, the documentary short provides inspiration to participants in the AIA Film Challenge. Film Challenge schedule Registration opens June 3 Films due August 12 Judging August 19-28 Public voting August 19–September 27 Winners announced October 2019
