California Council As the vice president last year, I did not completely membership for help. understand how the AIACC represented us, the role Please free to contact that our Chapter plays in the State Organization and us with issues that are the opportunities we have to effect change, or at least affecting your practice. the voice that we have. For those who do not know, I as the Chapter president and Brit Lindberg, AIA as Without boring the the vice president, have two seats on the Board of members with the list, Directors at the California Council level. The Council the AIACC has several meets face to face in Sacramento several times a year standing committees to with meetings via the web in between. The purpose of assist in policy the California council is to represent us, the members, direction and in all statewide issues that affect the architectural implementation of profession and our practice. The office is located in their programs and Sacramento close to the State Capitol where they can advocate on behalf of the interests of all 22 Steve Sowa, AIA local chapters in California to the Legislature and AIA SCV Chapter President state regulatory boards and agencies. In essence, Photo: Bernardo Grijalva Photography they are supposed to go to bat for us and they do. Having attended the meeting in February, we were surprised at the issues that were being investigated and addressed. From a proposed taxing of professional services and contract indemnification language to qualification based selection, the AIACC reviews each and every proposed bill for the effect it will have on our practice and lobbies in our behalf. It is at the Board meeting that we learn the outcomes of those continuing efforts. The Council also listens. As board members, we can bring to their attention matters that are affecting our Chapter specifically. For example, the Council was asked at its latest meeting to review how the increase of Design-Build based selection on projects has significantly increased the time and money architectural firms must invest in pursuing projects. The issue seems to be preventing firms, especially smaller firms, from competing. So, we ask our
activities, Task forces can also be assembled by the Board President for specific purposes. And our membership is represented on those committees as well. Brit Lindberg AIA, our Vice President, has been asked to sit on the Planning and Finance Committee. Stephanie Silkwood AIA, a past Chapter Board member has her hands full with the Long-Term Planning Committee, the State Agency Liaison Committee and the Academy for Emerging Professionals Council of Advisor. And of course, let’s not forget Lee Salin AIA, one of our past presidents, who serves as the Vice President of Regulatory Affairs. I do wish to thank all those for their involvement and apologize to those that I missed. The point is, they are there to serve you. Please feel free to contact them with concerns. Similar to our own Chapter, the California Council also celebrates design. Every year since 1982, The AIACC has honored outstanding architecture through the AIACC Design Awards Program. The program is held each spring and recognizes achievements in Architecture, Interior Architecture, Urban Design, and Small Projects as well as the 25-Year Award and Maybeck Award. Many of our Chapter members have been honored at that level. In closing, to continue towards transparency in the organization; we urge the membership to share with us any concerns they have that affect their practice of architecture. In return, we will keep them up to date on the results of the efforts at the State level.

Haas-Lilienthal House by San Francisco Architectural Heritage Photography by San Francisco Architectural Heritage
The Haas-Lilienthal House was designed by Peter R. Schmidt in 1886. As the only period era home open to the public in San Francisco, the house beautifully exemplifies upper-middle class life in the Victorian era.

Designed in the Queen Anne style, the house features prominent open gables, varied styles of shingles and siding, and a turreted corner tower topped by a “witches cap” roof. Built of redwood and fir, the house withstood both the 1906 and 1989 earthquakes with only minor damage.

She was a vigorous woman who enjoyed horseback riding and swimming. She was swimming in Frances L. Stein’s pool in Nicasio, Marin County, when her heart stopped on June 30, 1972. In 1973, Alice Haas Lilienthal’s heirs (Ernest R.

THE LEGACY OF JOSEPH EICHLER

The Legacy of Joseph Eichler by Angshupriya Pathak, LEED AP
Image courtesy: tumblr.com
Several words come to mind at the mention of Joseph Eichler – social visionary, advocate, champion of the masses and many more.
The 20th Century (1900 – 1974) post-war real estate developer’s vision was to make available modern architecture to middle-class Americans. An advocate of open concept floorplans with skylights, outdoor rooms, patios and entry atriums, the Eichler homes with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and spartan facades succeeded in bringing the outside in.

With their post-and-beam construction, glass walls and low-sloping A-framed roofs, Joseph Eichler is well known for establishing the “California Modern� style of architecture. He was also a champion of non-discrimination. The 11,000 homes that Eichler Homes built in Northern and Southern California were available for purchase to everyone, regardless of race or religion. In fact, Joe Eichler resigned from the National Association of Home Builders in 1958, when they refused to support a non-discrimination policy. To learn more about Joe Eichler and his legacy go to the Eichler Network.

A conceptual sketch of Edgewood Plaza from Builders' Homes for Better Living, Jones & Emmons, 1957
Recently, Joseph Eichler has been in the news in light of the illegal demolition of one of the historic commercial structures at Edgewood Plaza, Palo Alto. Designed by A. Quincy Jones, renowned California architect of the modern era, it was built by Joe Eichler in the mid 1950s. Edgewood Plaza was the only shopping center he built, and its purpose was to serve the adjoining Eichler community in Palo Alto. No doubt, the demolition has enraged historic preservationists and the architecture community alike. The agreement to preserve and relocate the historic structure was reached after a prolonged lawsuit that lasted over 4 years between the developer, Sand Hill Property Company, and neighboring residents.
To read more about the incident go to: www.paloaltoonline.com/news/show_story.php?id=26869 www.paloaltoonline.com/news/show_story.php?id=28547 To read about the current status of the project go to: paloaltoonline.com/news/show_story.php?id=28768

When contacted about her reactions to the incident, Margaret Feuer, President of Palo Alto Stanford Heritage, a non-profit historic preservation organization in the greater Palo Alto Stanford area, said, “It's an unfortunate combination of disrespect for preservation by the developer and laxity by the City in monitoring preservation projects.“ When asked about what action the Developer could take in the recent future to rebuild the trust with the neighborhood residents, she said, “Nothing, unless they made a hefty contribution to a non profit preservation group in addition to voluntarily paying a hefty fine to the City of Palo Alto.”

Blach Construction
by Thang Do, AIA
San Jose City College exterior facing street view.
As projects become more and more complex and clients more demanding, all of us involved in the design and construction industry have had to transform ourselves to be successful in this continually changing environment. In my 25-year career as an architect, one company in particular exemplifies this successful transformation: Blach Construction. The accolades tell part of the story: Top 10 Places to Work for 4 years straight; 3rd best construction safety program in the nation; 1st place winner of AGC of California Safety Excellence Award. But these are only part of the story, as Blach’s success encompasses much more than that. My first project with this great builder dates back to the mid-80’s when we worked jointly on a community center in Mountain View. In the last decade or so, we have again crossed paths on many other projects in various capacities. Blach has acted as general contractor, construction manager, program manager, as well as design-build partner. From personal
experience, I can describe some of the areas which I think Blach clearly excels in. Without exception, Blach has managed to deliver a very high level of client service, regardless of the size or nature of the project. I believe that the company’s leadership has been successful in instilling a corporate culture that emphasizes good communication, quality work and collaboration. This spirit extends to their work with architects and other business partners, fostering countless successful relationships in the industry. Blach is a pioneer in employing cutting-edge technologies and techniques. They are very advanced in the use of Building Information Modeling to create a seamless process from design to construction, in which the architect’s design documents translate directly into fabrication shop drawings. The company also employs lean construction, which helps them gain efficiency, expedite schedule, increase safety and

minimize cost. They have completed some of the greenest projects in the Bay Area, including the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Headquarters with a LEED Platinum certification. Among many other LEED-certified projects in their portfolio (their own office is LEED Gold-certified), the recently completed Multi-disciplinary Arts Building at San Jose City College, which Blach and our company jointly delivered as design-build partners, is targeting a LEED Silver certification. Last but not least, Blach believes in being a good corporate citizen by giving back to the community. As one of the most philanthropic local companies, their employees serve on the board of many non-profits, including San Jose Rotary and participate in community volunteer efforts. They clearly demonstrate that it’s not only possible, but highly rewarding, to “do well by doing good”.

Landscape Architecture by Bill Sowa, AIA In 1976, Ken Hankins, Ed Miller and Jim Harper had a vision to form a service company that held client partnership and ownership commitment as key values to its operation – and with that, HMH was established. Today, with the evolution of ownership, staff, and services, HMH continues to embrace these same values as key components of success. HMH provides a collaborative and comprehensive approach to the design process. Whether we are providing multi-faceted services or specific discipline support for a project, our team approach adds value. With over thirty-seven years of experience in the Bay Area on private and public sector projects, HMH’s contributions have resulted in project success. Our professional services include Land Use Entitlements, Land Planning, Landscape Architecture, Civil Engineering, Land Surveying and Stormwater Compliance design and consultation. In 2009 HMH became a professional affiliate of the AIASCV Chapter and has been involved in the COTE Committee, Program Committee and a sponsor of many events. In 2012, Bill Sowa, AIA Principal and
one of the owners of HMH, became the program committee chair taking over for Brian Mah, AIA, TDS Architects. Brian Glick, a Senior Landscape Architect at HMH, also volunteers his time and energy to these committees. Like other firms in Santa Clara Valley, HMH is experiencing an uptick in work. Our working knowledge of local policies and the political landscape enables us to provide unmatched guidance for our clients, enabling successful navigation through the project entitlement and approval process. HMH is working with Irvine Apartment Communities on the completion of the Crescent Village Apartments, a mixed use project that is within the North San Jose Development Policy Area. This 38.7 acre project includes 1,750 single-family attached residential units with 15,000 square feet of ground floor retail space. The five podium style buildings contain studio, one, and two bedroom stacked flats, some with lofts, over partial subterranean parking garages. Project amenities include swimming pools, clubhouses, fitness centers, conference center and an internet cafe. HMH was also involved in the design and construction of a new 5 acre turnkey park adjacent to the project. HMH worked extensively with the Client and the City of San Jose to make sure the water quality treatment solutions met the requirements of the Regional Water Quality Control Board. HMH has also been working with Studio G Architects and Bixby Land Company on numerous market ready renovation projects in North San Jose. These older office and R&D spaces are being renovated and repurposed for companies looking for modern offices with top-flight amenities to attract and accommodate a competitive workforce. New indoor and outdoor spaces are being upgraded to collaborative spaces that allow for small and medium groups to get together and work in a more relaxed and less structured environment. Outdoor kitchens, collaborative seating areas, water features, fire pits, bocce ball courts and exercise decks are some of the amenities HMH’s Landscape Architectural team is working into these projects.
