AIASF
PRESIDENT’S LETTER AIASF’s 137th year has been productive and robust. We have advanced our mission of improving the quality of life in the Bay Area by promoting architecture and design by listening to our members, presenting exciting programs, advocating for our profession, and strengthening our organization. In 2018, AIASF hosted over 450 member programs. We have been leaders at the forefront of many important conversations parallel with current events in our society today. A few highlights to share: • Our ARE Pact program continues to support and assist emerging professionals in our community pursuing licensure. • The NEXT Conference was centered around the United Nation’s New Urban Agenda, which was supported by the AIA National Grant: Blueprint for Better. • The 15th annual Architecture + the City festival, “Future City,” included more than twenty events in September and reached a wide audience including members, design advocates, and the Bay Area community. • Our Relocation Task Force facilitated a survey and town hall meeting to collect input on how our members would like to see AIASF positioned in our community in the future. • AIASF continues to be a leader in design advocacy on key topics including – Sustainability, Urban Challenges, Smart Cities, Equity, and Social Justice. The chapter consistently articulates the values of our practice and their meaningful impacts on the built environment.
»» The 3rd Equity in Architecture Survey was completed earlier this year. The survey is the largest known research study of its kind focused on architectural practice. »» The survey findings were revealed in November, at the 5th symposium at the San Francisco Art Institute. This year, we listened to our members by holding two town hall meetings as an effort to strengthen relationships across all levels of the Institute: National, AIA California Council, and our local chapter. Town hall meetings will continue in 2019. We have 17 active committees—who are promoting positive engagement in the community. Financially, we have a balanced budget and anticipate adding funds to our reserves this year. To make all this happen we rely on our incredible leaders, along with the tireless effort and collaboration with the incredible staff at the AIASF. Jennifer Jones has now been our Executive Director for four years and continues to support our Board and staff with expanded outreach, influence, and partnerships at the local, state, and national levels. We have collaborated to improve core services and support of our committees with new tools, policies, and procedures to be a more effective chapter for our membership and emerging professionals. I’m thrilled to pass on the leadership of AIASF to Stan Lew as our Board President for 2019. His perspective and passion will guide us to continue in our mutual strategic goals for the year to come. It has been an amazing and humbling honor for me to serve the AIA San Francisco Chapter as your President this year.
• Equity by Design Committee celebrated its 5th year with three major initiatives. »» The EQxD Hackathon took place at the 2018 AIA Conference on Architecture in New York.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S NOTE Dear AIASF Members + Friends, How does AIASF ensure the ongoing professional and personal success of its members practicing architecture in the Bay Area? How does AIASF elevate and celebrate the contributions of architects in the Bay Area and beyond, and advocate on their behalf? How does AIASF ensure long-term organizational health so we are best prepared for financial challenges when they materialize? AIASF Board of Directors and staff will undergo a strategic planning exercise in the spring of 2019, and we hope that you will contribute to the process. The chapter will field a member needs assessment early in the year to drive our discussions. Your input will be of utmost importance and directly influence the types of programs AIASF offers in the future and will also help shape the strategic focus of the organization as we raise the profile of architects in the San Francisco Bay Area and serve as your advocate with policy makers and industry bodies.
Your dedicated volunteer leadership, talented staff, and fellow members have all worked hard on your behalf this year, and there is so much to be proud of, and 2019 is certain to be another busy and productive year. There are many ways to participate in what’s happening at AIASF. Please contact me at jjones@aiasf.org if you are interested in lending your skills and expertise to our efforts. Best wishes for 2019,
Jennifer Jones, MS, CAE, IOM Executive Director, AIA San Francisco

A VISION FOR OUR FUTURE AIASF HEADQUARTERS In 2021, AIASF's lease at 130 Sutter Street will be up for renewal. When AIASF renewed its lease in 2014, the price per square foot for our space in the Hallidie Building tripled, putting a significant financial strain on the Chapter. The AIASF Board of Directors is being proactive on understanding our options for our headquarters location well in advance of our next renewal period, and took part in a number of activities to seek input on the culture, values, and resources that will further engage our membership and advance upon AIASF’s Strategic Goals: to promote the profession, advance the professional practice of architecture, and advocate for and advance the quality of life in the Bay Area. AIASF teamed up with HOK to define the selection criteria and spatial requirements of the new space as informed by the Chapter’s strategic priorities and collective vision for the future. The selection criteria were informed by several activities designed to engage stakeholders across the local chapter. The purpose of these activities was to solicit information that would draw out the priorities of AIASF, particularly as they relate to its physical location and characteristics. These activities included: • Online survey distributed to all members • Vision session with board members • Vision session with members • Programming interview with office staff

Serves as an educational resource designed to support individuals in their pursuit of licensure.
The Academy of Architecture for Justice Bay Area (AAJBA) is a local component of the AIA Academy of Architecture for Justice Knowledge Community. AAJBA promotes and fosters the exchange of information and knowledge between members, professional organizations, and the public for high-quality planning, design, and delivery of justice architecture. The AAJBA organizes regular presentations and tours of regional justice projects. AAJBA hosted Architects + Advocates: A Documentary + Dialogue panel discussion and film screening of Jeff Adachi’s “Defender.” A feature length film about the critical role that public defenders play in fighting for racial and social justice in America. The film takes viewers on a personal and intense tour through the underbelly of the criminal injustice system, seen through the eyes of San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi, who is one of the nation’s few elected public defenders.
The Architectural Licensing Committee manages the annual ARE Pact. A fast-track program to assist candidates seeking architectural licensure to get through the Architectural Registration Examination (ARE). The 2018 ARE Pact had 42 enrollees with five study groups led by coaches who were recently licensed after going through the ARE Pact. The ARE program offered 23 ARE classes from March through November in 2018. The registrants ranged from emerging professionals to seasoned professionals who come from architectural firms throughout San Francisco and the greater Bay Area, including governmental agencies, private and non-profit institutions, commercial offices, construction, and technology firms.

Connects designers, students, and newly licensed architects through firm tours, networking, volunteer opportunities, and social events.
BEC-SF is a committee of AIA San Francisco, and is part of a network of Councils in cities around the US initiated by AIA National and the National Institute of Building Sciences.
Bay Area Young Architects continued curating a mix of professional, academic, and networking events for the Bay Area design community. The BAYA Firm Tours showcased the range of local architect talents, specializing in everything from sustainability/integrated design to branding strategies, providing insight for young professionals to witness the breadth and scales of the opportunities within the profession. BAYA ventured to include construction firms, who expressed huge interest in connecting the design and the construction worlds. In addition, to monthly happy hours, BAYA led a group of members through the Salesforce Park opening block party.
To the goal of increasing awareness of building envelope design as a critical aspect of the successful construction and sustainability of buildings, and to foster the education of building industry professionals regarding proper design, construction, and maintenance of building envelopes tailored to local practices and climate, the committee curates a series of lunch and learns that encompassed presentations from Meeting Energy Code with Continuous Insulation and Cladding Supports to Exterior Wall Flame Spread Requirements of NFPA 285 and Mid-Rise Building: Considerations When Selecting Glazing.
BAYA partnered with AIA East Bay, NOMA, and other professional organizations to help open the lines of communication within the industry for both educational and informal sessions, and actively provided resources for students who were entering the profession through a Student Portfolio Review event in April and a culminating panel discussion titled “Diversity Lens: Design Narrative for Emerging Professionals” in November. An appreciation party for our members took place in December at Cambria, where 2019 elections were held.

COMMITTEE ON THE ENVIRONMENT (COTE) CHAIR: Mark Kelly, AIA // BAR Architects Charlie Stott // Stott Architects Elizabeth Radtke, Assoc. AIA // STUDIOS Architecture
The Committee on the Environment (COTE) works to advance, share, and advocate design practices that integrate built and natural systems and enhance both the design quality and performance of the built environment. COTE serves as the voice of AIASF architects for sustainable design, building science, and performance addressing the needs of our industry and community by extending public outreach to general forums and audiences, sharing knowledge between the AEC industry and developers, building owners, operators, and tenants as to the costs and benefits of advancing sustainability/high-performance standards. In September 2018, COTE had a meeting with National AIA President Carl Elefante, COTE Chair Angela Brooks, and other regional COTE leadership as part of the Global Climate Action Summit activities in San Francisco. Water conservation was the forefront topic of many programs this year. Discussions and partnered events included a Water Conservation Showcase where COTE was an organizing committee, a presentation panel moderator, and an AIASF + COTE exhibitor at a Pacific Energy Center open house event. In addition, the committee hosted a discussion on water and design opportunities which focused on practical applications, design and industry resources for water reuse technologies, and the future of water stewardship within the context of global water scarcity and California water policy. The presentation was spearheaded by Urban Fabrick’s Kyle Pickett, in partnership with COTE.
The committee also hosted events on the topic of resilience and sustainability in design. Events included a presentation on design for open spaces that highlighted wind issues, strategies, and case studies to help designers create comfortable conditions in urban downtown areas. The event was held at AIASF and led by COTE member Rubina Ramponi at Arup. And a panel focused on urban streetscape design—how to make a paved streetscape sustainable, adequately planning for trees over structure, and design and agency review considerations. COTE member, Maggie Morrow with Petersen Landscape Architects led this conversation. A Resilient by Design Deep Dive event and Architecture for Resilience presentation was led by three RBD teams and highlighted various approaches to creating resilience in architecture in the Bay Area. The presentation was steered by COTE member Erin Feeney with David Baker Architects. The committee organized a tour of the Commonwealth Club SF Building. An LEED Gold adaptive reuse project led by Marsha Maytum, LMS Architects and Greg Dalton, Commonwealth Club’s Climate One host.

Brings together interested parties from many disciplines to foster design innovation and disseminate knowledge necessary to enhance the built environment and quality of life for an aging society.
Equity by Design is a call to action to realize the goal of equitable practice for everyone, advance the profession and communicate the value of architecture to society. Our mission is to understand the pinch points of career progression and promote the strategic execution of best practices in the recruitment, retention, and promotion of our profession’s best talent at every level of architectural practice.
Design for Aging (DFA) continues to thrive with a strong network of more than 120 subscribers with wide participation beyond architects and AIA members, including industry leaders, providers, gerontologists, landscape architects, contractors, material innovators, and interior designers. The committee is closely connected with other affiliated components across the country in the AIA Design for Aging Knowledge Community—with committee chair Tom Brutting participating on the national Advisory Group. DFA is represented at senior living conferences across the country, including LeadingAge and the Environments for Aging. Monthly meetings and presentations revolve around current topics in senior living design, including Biophilia/ Biophilic Design, “Agrihoods” and the application to seniors, technology development, and designing for those with Alzheimer’s Disease. Planning for death and dying with dignity has become a popular topic, as well as hospice care. DFA looked at a creative house in Norway designed specifically for a man who intended to age-in-place and die at that location. A well-attended and successful tour of a new PACE and Adult Day Health Center in San Leandro operated by the Center for Elder Independence was conducted by the provider and architects who designed the facility. In addition, we had a session of the national AIA Design for Aging Review publication, a competition that is conducted and published every other year.
The Equity by Design (EQxD) Committee’s goals were to execute the 2018 Equity in Architecture Survey and host our third Symposium, EQxDV: Voices, Values and Vision. The analysis of collected survey findings, which this year garnered over 14,000 responses, focused on the differential experiences of professionals based on gender, sexuality, race, and ethnicity. In alignment with this year’s symposium theme, EQxD presented three closely related frameworks for understanding how issues of equity impact the lives of architecture school graduates. The symposium welcomed 250 participants, including thought leaders who augmented the dialogue by with eight panels, and partaking in the inaugural Plus One sponsorship program. Three organizational components for data and discussion centered around: • “Voices” offers insight into personal and professional milestones. • “Values” explores the personal and collective values that guide us in our careers. • “Vision” enumerates the ingredients of a satisfying career in architecture. The work done by the Equity by Design Committee continues to be covered widely by national media.

AIA San Francisco’s Fellowship Nominating Committee reviews the submission packets of Fellowship candidates and nominates the strongest to the National office.
In the heart of a leading hub of biotechnology research and health-focused communities, the AIASF Health + Science Committee is dedicated to advancing knowledge and improving practice of Bay Area professionals engaged in the design, construction, and operations of healthcare facilities, healthy communities, and research facilities that drive innovation and discovery.
The AIA Fellowship program was developed to elevate those architects who have made a significant contribution to architecture and society and who have achieved a standard of excellence in the profession. Election to Fellowship not only recognizes the achievements of the architect as an individual, but also honors before the public and the profession a model architect who has made a significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level. Each summer, AIA San Francisco’s Fellowship Nominating Committee convenes for a concentrated review of Fellowship submission packets from the chapter membership and nominates the strongest candidates to the National office.

AIASF’s Health + Science Committee kicked off 2018 with a red-carpet event, 15 Minutes of Fame, featuring process innovations using cardboard by Boulders Associates, updates on projects from Cannon Design, and the low-down on creating a net zero energy allelectric building from Integral Group. A panel discussion of the latest Pharmacy regulations with representatives from Sutter Health, El Camino Hospital, and leading engineers and architects discussed not only the technical requirements from the newly issued OSHPD guidelines, but also ambiguities in the current code and their unintended consequences affecting healthcare providers and patients. Healthcare planners from Stanford, Kaiser, and Sutter shared their perspectives on medical planning from the owner’s point of view. A tour of the Stanford Health Center Emeryville Project included Stanford, KMD, and Hansel Phelps’ sharing their experiences, challenges, and successes of working as a Design-Build team to convert an existing building shell into a specialty ambulatory clinical center. OSHPD previewed their latest initiatives and upcoming changes. Then rounding out the year, HGA and Perkins+Will led a delightful tour of the Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Expansion.

Adam Arenson presented his research on Millard Sheets’ architectural commissions including the marquees and branches of Home Savings and Loan throughout California. In May, there was a tour of Miller and Pfleuger’s Mining Exchange Building at 350 Bush Street. The tour showcased the recent rehabilitation of the exterior and interior hall ceiling and discussed the entitlement challenges and interpretive displays. In July, the committee revived an old annual tradition: Preservation Bowl-A-Rama. After a nine-year hiatus, members of local preservation firms came together to mix, mingle, and bowl at Presidio Bowl. In November, the HRC partnered with the Western Chapter ofAPT to host a lecture titled “Historic Preservation—A Comparison between the United States and France”. Led by Constance Lai, recipient of the 2017 Richard Morris Hunt Prize, the event discussed the history of the French conservation movement and its impact on US historic preservation. In December, we hosted the annual Historic Pub Crawl. The event led guests through three historic bars along SF’s waterfront, learning a little history along the way.
The Housing Committee committed to an examination of housing assessed at several scales. Recognizing the housing crisis from a wide-angle view, in March the committee composed the half-day Housing Forum: Envisioning San Francisco in 2100 to imagine ways in the near-to-distant future that the urban form we know now might adapt to accommodate our rising population. Moderated by the venerable architectural historian Gwendolyn Wright, the forum included expert speakers from the public and private sectors: developers for profit and non-profit, planners, engineers, a renters’ advocate, writers and architects, highlighting an important conclusion that we are more united in our ambitions for positive change than we had previously imagined, and that we could build upon this unity. Members of the committee also advised on the curation of the yearly SF Living: Home Tours and the preceding Architects’ Forum: Private Lives of Private Spaces panel moderated by Kenneth Caldwell. Momentum from these events grew the committee’s membership and agenda to address the housing crisis with direct engagement of public officials and community representatives.

MENTORSHIP COMMITTEE
CHAIR:
James Kaentje, AIA // SmithGroup (2018 Chair) Dan Hogman, AIA // Oblique City Architects (Co-chair) Brian Smith, AIA // Smith & Associates Architects (Secretary) Satish Atkari // SmithGroup (Communications)
Homer Perez, AIA // SEPHORA Americas Iara Bachmann // BAMO
LiA serves and supports local communities, strengthens networks between design professionals and enriches our practices through diverse cultural views. Latinos in Architecture celebrated its fourth anniversary with the San Francisco Chapter this year. It is one of eight chapters within AIA nationally. LiA’s membership is comprised of about 80 design professionals from all backgrounds. The goal of LiA SF is to promote diversity in the practice of Architecture. LiA SF enforces diversity through three key methods: Outreach, Networking, and Education.
CHAIR:
Promotes collaborative learning by bringing people with different career experiences and perspectives together. This program introduces a new intergenerational model for partnering mentors and mentees, re-inspiring the way architects think about mentorship. The Mentorship Program encompasses five core events: • The Annual Party (January) this year hosted by Pivot • The program kickoff (February), featuring keynote speaker Rosa Sheng; • The mentor-mentee SpeedMatch (March); • Group Announcement (April) hosted at Herman Miller • The Mid-Summer Gathering / “How We Work” (July) hosted by Gensler.

Additionally, the Mentorship Committee has hosted the Portfolio Review day for local architecture students in February, organized a Sketch Day in August and docented Architecture + the City’s festival Home Tours in September. Participation in the global, open-source PARK(ing) Day event was expanded from the committee’s own parklet installation inhabiting the street in front of the Hallidie Building to adding a touring critique of other parklet sites, published in their first blog post on the new AIASF web platform.
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE COMMITTEE CHAIR: Michael Chambers, FAIA // HGA Architects and Engineers Peter Mueller, AIA // SmithGroup
The Professional Practice Committee identifies significant issues and develops and deploys tools, resources, and educational opportunities in support of more effective local practice. In its second year of existence, the AIASF Professional Practice Committee planned a series of three programs that are being developed for presentation in both 2018 (done for integrated project delivery) and 2019 around the theme “Integrated Practice in the 21st Century,” with the subtopics BIM LOD, Early Builder Input Design, and Project Delivery Systems. The committee looks forward to growing its membership with outreach to small firms and women-owned firm practitioners. Our updated work plan targets more panel discussions and with the creation of a leadership role for research and development, we also hope to coach committee members to publish white papers on our panel topics and other areas of professional practice.

PUBLIC POLICY + ADVOCACY COMMITTEE (PPAC) CHAIR: Neal J.Z. Schwartz, AIA // Schwartz and Architecture Ross Levy, AIA // Levy Art & Architecture Vivian Dwyer // Paulette Taggart Architects
The mission of the AIASF Public Policy + Advocacy Committee (PPAC) is to strengthen the constituency for progressive design in the Bay Area through direct engagement with neighborhood, advocacy, political, regulatory and legislative bodies. PPAC’s steering committee reviewed and honed their mission statement and the Strategic Plan. The committee continued its collaboration with the San Francisco Planning Department on residential design review policies and procedures—including proposed revisions to the residential design guidelines, tantamount to demolition policies, and historic review—putting in place systems for Policy Rapid Responses as well as programming for longer-term advocacy efforts, primarily focused on building relationships at all neighborhood and institutional levels. To ensure the sustained productivity of this new committee, PPAC developed steering committee member “on-call” responsibilities to actively effect positive change by the following: • Pairing up in two-month stints to lead one substantial program, action, or definitive plan for action, shortterm or long-term (Flash Mobs, Hearing Attendance, Editorials, Breakfast with the Supervisor or Neighborhood outreach programs, lecture series programming, etc.);

• Monitoring Planning Department and other regulatory issues and identifying the need for, and facilitate, any AIASF Public Policy Alerts; and • Writing newsletter updates and Opinion Papers for publication to the membership and broader community. Their resolve was recognized by a November press release from the Planning Department marking staffing and process changes because of these collaborative conversations.

SMALL FIRMS COMMITTEE CHAIR: Ariel Gessler, AIA // Ariel Gessler Architects
Provides a forum and resources to address the unique issues that are of concern to the small firm practitioner and to promote the work and development of small architectural offices. The Small Firms Committee collaborates and shares resources on issues relevant to small firm growth and practice with monthly roundtable meetings, online discussion forums, and outreach to local membership. This year we added 26 new members to our growing online following; we are now 247 members. We dove deep into the Best Practices for the six primary aspects of small firm management, including Financial Management, Marketing + Public Relations, Human Resources, Project Management, Building Science, and Technology. • Kosty Oreshkov of Iryna Accountancy Corporation led a discussion on new federal tax laws;
• Bob Kerns and Sylvan Cambier from WJE presented several key topics related to technological advancements in waterproofing design and implementation; • David Winslow, Luiz Barata, and Christopher May from SF Current Planning requested feedback from the group on the Planning Commission’s request for new Roof Deck guidelines; • Liz Watty, the Deputy Director of Current Planning for San Francisco provided insight into the latest changes and proposed improvements to the SF Planning review and approvals process; and • Marcelle Boudreaux, Flex Team Leader/Senior Planner of SF Current Planning and Preservation Technical Specialist, focused on pending legislative changes, and policy + procedural updates for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs).
• Bob Driscoll, the Director of Retirement Services at Karp Capital Management, presented the latest information and strategies about several types of retirement plans; • Paulett Taggart, FAIA, Principal and Founder of Paulett Taggart Architects reviewed what it’s like to collaborate with other firms in successful projects; • We analyzed the 2018 AIA National Small Firm Compensation Report, how it relates to practice in the western region of the US, and how our region compares to the national averages; 2018 NEXT Conference | ©Dirk Wyse Photography
