JULY 2012 I EMERGING PROFESSIONALS

INTRODUCING:

YOUR AIASCV EMERGING PROFESSIONALS COMMITTEE I am a member of the AIASCV Emerging Professionals Committee because‌

Having attended school in southern California, I wasn’t very familiar with the local architectural community. Through the ARE study group I was introduced to the EPC and found a vehicle to both be actively involved in and contribute to the local community.

Chuck Campanella, Assoc. AIA, LEED GA Intern at Niles Bolton Associates AIASCV Associates Director Certified Passive House Designer

The architecture community needs a means to educate and empower emerging professionals, as we are the future of the industry. The efforts of the EPC are beneficial to individual students, interns, and young architects as well as the profession as a whole.

Stephanie Silkwood, Assoc. AIA, LEED AP BD+C Associate at RMW Architecture & Interiors EPC Member and Founder

I wanted to help promote our local AIA Chapter through our EPC events. I encourage emerging professionals to support our events and interact not only within our chapter, but also with other AIA Chapters as well as other design organizations such as ASCE and the IIDA. Sherwin Gonzales, Assoc. AIA, LEED AP BD + C Job Captain at Gensler EPC, Marketing and Networking

I wanted to find what it takes to become a licensed architect. The EPC offers everything one needs to learn and experience how architects serve the community. I hope to encourage fellow Emerging Professionals to join and share the profession.

Britt Lindberg, AIA, LEED AP Project Architect at Gensler AIASCV Board of Directors AIASCV YAF Chair

Gordon K. Wong, Assoc. AIA, LEED GA EPC Chair

I am passionate about sharing knowledge and socializing with other aspiring architects. I have found great support and common ground through my involvement with the ARE Study Group and other AIASCV events.

Emily C. Finch, Assoc. AIA, LEED AP BD+C Job Captain at Fentress Architects EPC Secretary

I believe that the networking and collaboration with peers of all experience levels offers great rewards for improving my own architectural knowledge, and contributes to a stronger professional community for the future of our industry.

I wanted to help provide educational and networking opportunities for emerging professionals and to encourage their participation in our Chapter.

The future of the AIA will be shaped by these new members.

Brian Corbett, AIA, LEED AP Project Manager at Gensler EPC, Marketing and Networking

I enjoy meeting other future architects and working with them to discover more about the practice of architecture and the path to becoming licensed.

Allison Young, Assoc. AIA Assistant Project Manager at Aedi

I have gained support and companionship from the Study Group. I would like to dedicate my time in further development with my peers who share the same passion and goal in this profession.

JULY 2012 I EMERGING PROFESSIONALS

ARCHITECTURE + EMERGING PROFESSIONALS This issue of Tracings is all about the rising architects of the future. Emerging professionals are the next generation of our profession. They are either recently licensed new architects or in the process of studying for and taking the Architects Registration Examination (ARE).

So many of the things that you take for granted are exciting and fresh and new for the emerging professional.

For example… Visiting a jobsite can be mundane and generic. You’ve done it a thousand times. Sometimes you argue with the general contractor about the execution of a detail. Sometimes you worry about the hours piling up and diminishing any chance you have to make a profit. Occasionally you notice a product that you specified and wish you would have chosen the other window system instead…. And ALWAYS, you get dust on your loafers and wish you would have worn some other shoes.

But, do you remember the first time you visited a project site in construction that you drew the plans for? WOW!!! – That site had no dust. The roach coach food was the BEST you’d ever tasted. And seeing your work go from paper to reality was a dream come true.

IGNITE YOUR OFFICE WITH THE FRESH ENTHUSIASM OF AN EMERGING PROFESSIONAL! BY: JEFFREY R. CURRENT, AIA 2012 AIA PRESIDENT AIA SANTA CLARA VALLEY CHAPTER STUDIO CURRENT

This is the perspective you get when you work along side an emerging professional. Former San Francisco Giant and Oakland A’s hitting coach, Chili Davis said: “Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional” I like the idea of keeping a young mind even as the body ages.

One of the best resources for this is to work with young aspiring designers and architects. Teach them what you know. Thirst like they thirst Every architect should be both a student and a mentor. There is always someone that you can be training up with the knowledge and skills that you have mastered. Likewise, there is always an older and wiser source that you can tap into as your mentor to expand your database of understanding.

Journalist Dorothy Fulheim remarked that,

“Youth is a disease from which we all recover”.

Let this not be the case when it comes to keeping our eyes fresh and our perspective young.

ARCHITECTURE + EMERGING PROFESSIONALS Interns bring fresh ideas and new skills into the office, along with the latest software and design programs that they’ve learned in school or on their own.

Don’t settle for doing things the way you’ve always done them in the past.

Get back to building models to study space and mock-up design concepts.

Expand your 3-D modeling abilities with the latest tools and tricks of the trade.

Improve your presence by building a website and plugging in to the social networks that attract visitors to your work.

Teach a young professional about the history of the profession and what you did in your early career.

My, how business has changed since I started in a firm in 1982. 30 short years later…

We’ve gone from changing ammonia in a blueprint machine to swapping out ink cartridges. …From snail mail to Fed EX to FAX to email to the cloud. …From hand drafting to pen plotter to ink jet & laser printing technology Our own group of emerging professionals is active in our AIASCV chapter.

They are reaching for that next rung on the ladder and their eyes are wide open to the possibilities that lie ahead in our industry. Let’s work together with this aspiring new crop of talent and form a partnership that benefits us all.

Light a Spark of Fire in your practice… the passion of young architects and interns can light up your office culture! Take on the role of MENTOR and TEACHER and in return receive the glow of YOUTHFUL ENTHUSIASM.

The success of the group is best demonstrated by the pass rate of the last topic completed - Building Design and Construction. All six of the people that participated in the study group and took the test, passed. Last year, the national pass rate for the test was 63%, so our results were exceptional.

For members of the chapter, a library of study materials is available to be checked out from the AIASCV office. You may check out an item for one week at a time. If no one has reserved the item, you may renew it for another week over the phone. Non-members may review the materials in the AIASCV office. See below list of available ARE 4.0 materials.

JOURNEY TO LICENSURE...

ARE Study Group History The AIASCV Architect’s Registration Examination (ARE) study group was revived in 2009 by Stephanie Silkwood, former Emerging Professional Committee (EPC) Associates Director, and Sean Rinde, former EPC Chair. Along with Allison Young, EPC Treasurer, and Emily Finch, EPC Secretary, as a team they created an ARE library, online Google groups, and spread the word to other fellow Associates. The upkeep of an ARE study group is a lot of work, requiring obtaining materials, getting a proper location, and setting a study rhythm that a group can work with.

The group started at the AIASCV office, where former Executive Director Gail Price and Membership/ Communications Associate Margaret Seltenreich helped support the ARE group and library materials. As the group expanded, Sean Rinde led the group through the challenging Structural Exam, since he had completed this initially. He also moved the group to HMC Architects.

Here the group grew to 15 members strong.

As more members started passing their exams, the group needed an even bigger meeting room, which then led the group to BCA Architects. New members also started to take turns at leading the group through the material.

Finally, we reached our current destination, where EPC Chair Gordon Wong, EPC Associates Director Chuck Campanella and EPC Events Planner Fanny Wu now lead the group at Steinberg Architects. Steinberg has generously provided us with a large meeting room, projector, and gated parking. Steinberg advocates to the

EPC, Ernest Yamanie AIA, Elizabeth Gibbons AIA, and Linh Tang Associate AIA, have supported the EPC for the past year and encouraged us to grow. The EPC is fortunate to have local firms to support our committee and those who want to pursue and complete the architecture licensing process. The EPC hopes to continue these essential steps to becoming an AIA architect. -Gordon Wong, Assoc AIA

ARE SEMINARS Also offered by the EPC are bi - annual seminars as a crash course to the exams. These day courses are hosted at a local venue with a reasonable fee. There is also a discount for those who are Associate AIA or EPC members. Seminars are hosted by licensed Architects or recently passed test takers. Information on our next seminar will be announced 3 weeks in advance.

ELIGIBILITY TO TAKE THE ARE’S There are many ways to become eligible to take the ARE exams. Each candidate has a different education, experience and background. To become successfully eligible in the State of California, the two main parties you are dealing with are the California Architects Board (CAB) and National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB). Here are some guidelines to help candidates stay on the right track:

Standard Procedures (NAAB certified degree)

To be eligible to begin the examination and licensure process, a candidate must provide verification of at least five years of education and/or architectural work experience. Candidates can satisfy the five-year requirement by providing verification of a three-year, five-year, or six-year professional degree in architecture through a program that is accredited by NAAB or CACB: (Tip: Visit http://www.naab.org/ for a list of the most current accredited degree programs) • Establish your NCARB IDP account at www.ncarb.org

- Download “IDP Guidelines” and read through to get a general idea of what IDP is all about: http://www.ncarb.org/en/FAQs/IDP/~/media/Files/PDF/Guidelines/IDP_Guidelines.pdf

- Pay $350 fee, send Education Transcripts (Form 122) and Employment verification

- List mentor and supervisor from current employment (Tip: What if I am unemployed? Find a mentor who is a practicing architect, refer to page 13 on

“IDP Guidelines”

- NCARB Record Number will be sent to you by e-mail (Tip: use personal email so you keep all the correspondence and confirmation emails consistent)

- Transmit your IDP record to the CAB where you will take the AREs CONTINUE ON NEXT PAGE

28

JULY 2012 I EMERGING PROFESSIONALS

ELIGIBILITY TO TAKE THE ARE’S Transmit your IDP record to the CAB where you will take the AREs • Establish your CAB account at http://www.cab.ca.gov/

- Download the CAB eligibility form, send it in with the $100 fee

- Download and submit work experience form if needed

- Request transcripts from your school be sent to CAB (Tip: contact CAB if it takes longer than 3 to 6 months)

- A CAB Record Number will be sent to you by mail

• After completing the requirements and registering with NCARB or CAB you will receive an “Authorization to Test” number to take the AREs. This will come in the mail. (Tip: This paper is important. Do not lose it. This will list out the date/duration of time each test needs to be completed according to the Rolling Clock Rule)

Non-standard Procedures (non-NAAB certified degree/Foreign Degree)

For those who have a non-NAAB certified degree or foreign degree, the State of California is the jurisdiction that generously accepts this. There are two ways of getting your degree to become equivalent to the U.S. system.

• Path 1: EESA-NCARB evaluation (through NCARB)

- Pay $1,825 to get your foreign degree evaluated to match the US system. This evaluation is for

the NCARB Record.

- To apply for the EESA-NCARB evaluation, you must register and apply online at www.eesa-naab. org.

The required hard copies of documents are listed on their website.

- This route would grant you the NCARB Certification once IDP and ARE’s are completed.

• Path 2: CAB Acceptable Education Evaluation Service (through CAB)

- There are several Education Evaluation Services listed on the CAB website: http://www.cab.ca.gov/candidates/education_services.shtml

- Paying around $100~$200 depending on which service you pick.

- Send in the transcript to the provider and once they evaluate the degree, they will send out a short version of the evaluation in the mail.

- Send all documents required by CAB together with the short-version evaluation to CAB for approval.

Your life of ARE’s has just begun, congratulations!

Alternatively, candidates can provide verification of at least five years of educational equivalents. Candidates are granted educational equivalents in various amounts pursuant to the CAB’s “Board’s Table of Equivalents”: • A maximum of four years for a non-accredited professional degree in architecture • Various amounts for other degrees and for units earned toward degrees, including: an undergraduate degree in architecture; a degree in a field related to architecture or in another field of study; and, (to a limited extent) units earned toward some degrees • Work experience under the direct supervision of a licensed architect

QUALIFYING TO TAKE THE ARE’S: ONE CANDIDATE’S STORY The road to becoming a licensed architect is not an easy path. A candidate’s eligibility to take the Architect’s Registration Examination (ARE) is based on a combination of education and experience. The California Architects Board (CAB) carefully evaluates the entirety of each application, and only applicants who have demonstrated proficiency in architectural development may move on to take the ARE. California offers a variety of ways for a candidate to meet the ARE qualifications. This flexibility was crucial for me, as California is one of the only states that offers licensure without an accredited degree. Unlike many candidates, I took a less traditional path to reach eligibility. Prior to undergraduate school, I worked for 3+ years with a developer and architecture firm in Santa Cruz and San Jose. The knowledge and hands-on experience helped solidify many of my goals in the field of architecture and contributed to my eligibility status for the ARE.

After completing my Bachelor of Architecture degree at The University of California at Berkeley, I was ready to start the Internship Development Program (IDP) and ARE process. After enrolling in the IDP, I submitted the necessary paperwork and records to the CAB, which included transcripts, the Application for Eligibility Evaluation and the Employment Verification Form. Three weeks later, the CAB notified me that I was eligible to take the ARE. I haven’t looked back since then. I am now studying to take the first of the seven exams in the near future.

STUDY TIPS FOR THE ARE

Preparing for the ARE exams may seem daunting at first. There is a great deal of material to cover and graphic sections to work into your study plan. Here are some great tips: • Read Kaplan First. The Kaplan study material is a good first source to look at for a •

• •

• •

•

comprehensive overview of the subject. It is much easier to read than most of the other materials. We’ve found that reading 1-2 chapters each week is a good pace for this material.

Don’t Just Read Kaplan! After Kaplan, it’s important to read through the supplemental materials which include David Kent Ballast’s material, the Architect’s Handbook, and Archiflash Cards.

Practice Questions. Do as many practice problems as you can get your hands on. Even if you are running out of time studying, it’s a great idea to read through the answers for each problem.

Don’t Wait to look at the Vignettes! Start practicing the graphic vignettes early in your studying process. Practice many times and use the alternate vignette problems that are posted on the ARE Forum. Racing your study buddies over Skype is a great way to get faster.

Schedule Your Test. When you feel relatively comfortable with the material, get your test scheduled. Having a date out there will motivate you to complete your studying.

Relax the Night Before. I can’t stress this one enough. The night before your test is not the time to cram your brain with more material. By that point, you pretty much know what you’re going to know. It’s best to take some time to relax or meditate.

TOUR Thank you Tom and XL Construction!

In May, twelve members of the AIASCV ARE Study Group were given a tour of a Google office renovation under construction by XL Construction. The Study Group has been studying for the Building Systems exam, and the tour was arranged for the group to see first-hand the implementation of the systems being studied. Here are some highlights: Meet up in the Construction Trailer: • Tom Copenhagen gave us a brief explanation on the scope of the project and how construction is organized among trades, including sequencing and difficulty of installation.

• We saw working drawings such as architectural, mechanical, electrical, fire, lighting.

• Pink hard hats are for those who are late or forgot their hard hats.

• Colored paper is used to distinguish revisions of plans.

During the Walk Through: • Tom explained the difficulty in fitting all the duct work, water lines, fan & coil systems into the ceiling space.

• He explained telecommunication coordination with the installer and architectural team, to make sure fire safety and efficient design were executed.

• Lighting types and alignment with ceiling grid, fire sprinklers, sensors, air diffusers were explained in detail, since coordination is a responsibility of the architect.

• Tom mentioned, “If the building users aren’t aware of any problems, then everyone has done their job right.”

STUDY TIPS FOR THE ARE AIASCV MENTORS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF LICENSURE

Walter Rask, AIA (on right in photo) AIASCV Board of Directors & Secretary

1. Per the California Architects Practice Act (Bus. & Prof.

Code Sec. 5536), “It is a misdemeanor...for any person who is not licensed to practice architecture under this chapter to practice architecture in this state, to use any term confusingly similar to the word architect, to use the stamp of a licensed architect, as provided in Section 5536.1, or to advertise or put out any sign, card, or other device that might indicate to the public that he or she is an architect, that he or she is qualified to engage in the practice of architecture, or that he or she is an architectural designer.” (Note: Despite the above, there are thousands of people in Silicon Valley who call themselves software “architects”.)

2. Because of the above, any job with the words “architect”, “architecture” or “architectural” in its title can only be held by a California licensed architect.

3. Many architecture-related positions in the public sector and at institutions (e.g., colleges) require a license as a condition of employment. (In most cases, the employer pays the two-year license fee.)

4. For most buildings larger than a 2-family dwelling, building permit drawings must be stamped by a licensed architect.

5. And last, but not least, you have to be a licensed architect to become a full AIA member and to write “AIA” after your name.

R. Kent Mather, FAIA (on left in photo)

AIASCV Past President & Past Executive Director AIA California Council, Board of Directors & AIA Regional Director San Jose Downtown Association, Board of Directors 1. One is not in fact an architect in the U.S. until licensed.

I never wanted to stop short of that goal. It is difficult to do and gives one a tremendous sense of accomplishment and the status of having a profession.

2. In looking for a job from a client or a firm, especially when the economy is slow, it is helpful to have an edge over the competition. Being a licensed architect gives one a big edge over those without a license, and an opportunity for higher pay.

3. Being licensed also gives one an edge if one needs to hire staff such as interns or entry level people who need supervision and/or mentoring by a licensed architect.

4. Being able to say one is an architect gives one instant credibility, especially with the public, for having a wide range of skills from design through management.

5. Licensed architects can sign and stamp required document submissions to governmental agencies for building permits, which is helpful especially if in business for oneself.

1. Becoming a licensed architect is absolutely important for anyone pursuing a career in architecture. A license lends instant credibility and increased stature in the eye of clients, prospective employers, colleagues and the public.

Many institutional clients now require that the project manager and construction administration manager be licensed individuals.

2. What’s the downside to becoming licensed? None, other than the effort required (considerable, but well-worth it in view of an entire career) and the cost (not inexpensive, and again, amortized over a career, it is small indeed).

Britt Lindberg, AIA, LEED AP (on right in photo) Gensler AIASCV Board of Directors AIASCV YAF Chair 1. I would first answer that with a question - why wouldn’t someone want to get licensed? Licensure offers almost limitless opportunities for the types of projects one can work on. Without a license, one is very limited in the types of projects one can do. Such projects are listed in the CA Architects’ Practice Act, and I encourage every emerging professional to look through that document, available on the CAB website.

2. Architects hold a large responsibility in protecting the public’s safety, and licensure is an important process for learning many of the tools and skills needed to do that.

You may pick up a lot of that knowledge through work experience, but for me it was through the process of studying, particularly for the CSE, where the weight of this responsibility really became apparent.

YAF SUMMIT 20: THE MOST IMPORTANT STUDY TIPS FOR THE ARE ISSUES FACING RECENTLY-LICENSED ARCHITECTS TODAY The Young Architects Forum is the voice of architects in the early stages of their career and the catalyst for change within the profession and our communities. Working closely with the AIA College of Fellows and the American Institute of Architects as a whole, the YAF is leading the future of the profession with a focus on architects licensed less than 10 years.

The YAF Summit20 was held on March 6-7, 2012 in Washington, DC. The YAF hosts a Summit every five years to reevaluate the needs of young architects. The Summit brought together over 60 professionals in the design industry from across the country to document their views on the top issues affecting young architects.

The outcomes are summarized here and will assist with the development of a strategic plan for the YAF.

I am very glad to report that our own Chapter’s YAF group is already working to address these issues. Last year we held two very successful professional development workshops: How to Start Your Own Firm, and a Presentation Skills Workshop. More workshops will be scheduled for later this year, so stay tuned!

AT WORK

1. What types of projects are you working on, where are they located, and what software(s) are you using?

2. What interests you the most about working in the architectural profession?

3. What have you found most surprising or challenging about working in the profession?

4. What would you like to be doing 10 years from now?

1. I am working on Projects in India and the USA. My projects in the USA range from design of custom homes, interior design, green building and LEED certification projects. My projects in India range from historic preservation, hotel design, school design, and vernacular architecture. I am also a founder of GreenExamGuide. com. Software: I use AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Photoshop.

Vani Bahl, LEED AP BD+C Designer (USA), Licensed Architect (India) Soon to begin taking ARE’s

2. Architecture is a very enriching profession. It is exhilarating to work on real-life problems of designing functional buildings and objects. In today’s time and age, when the world is more connected than ever before, I find it most fascinating to be able to extend my horizons and work on projects from far and near, each packed with immense opportunity of being able to touch a life.

3. I find it surprising when projects imitate each other. For instance, I feel it is disastrous for a project in India to want to imitate the one in New York. I find it most challenging to work with clients who have closed minds not only for the community surrounding the project, but also for their own project.

4. 10 years from now, I would like to see myself working on diverse projects from across the globe. By then, my studio should be an independent learning center for all those who work there, with primary focus on research, imparting education, and design. I dream to see a very closely knit architectural globe!

2012 25TH ANNUAL AIASCV GOLF TOURNAMENT FRIDAY JUNE 8TH Photos by Arnold Breit

by Sam Sinnott, AIA The 25th Annual AIASCV Golf Tournament was a truly historic event held at the beautiful Cinnabar Hills Golf Club in south San Jose. It was not only the 25th year in a row that our Chapter has successfully raised a significant amount of money to fund our activities, but it was the 25th year that the honorable Mike Roanhaus, AIA has chaired the event. As of this writing, he has passeda the gavel over to me as the new chair.

Odds are that I will not follow his 25 years with 25 of my own. He is a very tough act to follow. In recognition of Mike’s commitment to the Chapter he received a new Taylor Made driver.

Others who made the event historic were Vance Brown Construction for sponsoring the tournament and Porcelanosa for sponsoring the lunch and a tee. Additional fabulous Tee Sponsors were: Arc San Jose/ Riot Color; Barry Swenson Builder; Carroll Engineering; Charles M. Salter Associates; Slatter Construction; Devcon Construction; Hawley Peterson Snyder, Architects; Hathaway-Dinwiddie Construction; HDR Architecture; HPS Architects; HMH Civil Engineers; Mason Hammer Builders Inc.; Blach Construction; Murray Window & Door, Inc.; One Workplace; Redwood Electric Group; Steinberg Architects; Swinerton, Inc.; and Argonaut Windows and Doors. These sponsors provided food, drink and entertainment and made the event memorable.

A 25th anniversary golf ball with our Chapter logo, provided by Barry Swenson Builder, was also given to all golfers.

Last but not least, thanks to all the players. Despite the wind we had some impressive scores. This year’s winners are as follows:

• Closest to the Hole:

• Longest Drives: • Most Accurate Drive • Winner Champions Bracket: • Non Champions Bracket:

This prestigious tournament was first held at Santa Clara Golf and Tennis Club for 4 or 5 years. It was combined with a tennis tournament in those days as Jerry King FAIA remembers. According to Jerry, our final year there included an official warning about damaging the greens: “If you want to continue to have the beer cart in the future – do not use your putter to flick your balls out of the holes.”

Santa Clara was followed by Summit Pointe in Milpitas for another 5 to 7 years. While playing there Mike asked Edwin Bruce, AIA to help prepare for the tournament by stuffing gift bags with golf balls and drink tickets. For showing up Edwin was awarded with a chairmanship of the non-dues revenue committee and eventually became Chapter president.

Many other great stories have come from this tournament. Thanks for all 25, Mike.

See you all again next year for the 26th Annual AIASCV Golf Tournament. You, too, Mike.
