PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Reflections on 2012 I am happy to have had the opportunity to serve as AIASCV President in 2012. Honestly, I feel that this year has given me even greater passion to stay involved with our Santa Clara Valley Chapter and continue to collaborate and participate with the excellent front office, board of directors and active committees.

Some of the bright spots for me this year have been getting the chance to work with our new Executive Director, Kay Mascoli. Kay has come into the organization and gotten to know the members and stakeholders and provided excellent leadership and enthusiasm for our group to run with. It will be great to work with her as she gets more into the role and connects with even more partners.

Also, I’d like to thank Kent Mather who continues to play a vital role as a Fellow of our Chapter, an architect and a previous Executive Director himself.

Kent is plugged in and helps everybody else stay plugged in with him. He is a leader and a connector who continues to breathe life into AIASCV. To the 2012 Design Awards Leadership group – “A job well done!” Thank you for your hard work, dedication and commitment to highlighting the quality design work done within our Chapter boundaries.

David Regester and Gary Crossman, along with the rest of the Design Awards Committee deserve a toast for carrying out an outstanding event. Congratulations are also in order for all of the award winning entries and especially to Ken Rodrigues, FAIA and Partners for winning the 2012 Firm Award and to Jerome

Tracings

King, FAIA as the 2012 Birge Clark winner. What a SOLID group of role models for architecture in our Valley!

2012 provided me with an opportunity to spend time with several of our Corporate Partners at AIASCV. Visits to Blach Construction, One Workplace, XL Construction and Walters and Wolf inspired me that such solid and pioneering companies have partnered with our local AIA Chapter. Getting to spend time with those partners, as well as those at Alfa Tech, Graniterock and, of course, Barry Swenson Builder (my own employer) encourages me that we have a strong core support mechanism to strengthen our organization.

The AIASCV Board of Directors deserves huge credit for leading our group and carrying the heavy load of planning, budgeting and orchestrating events that provide value for all of us. This group has truly embraced the notion that we are much stronger working in collaboration with the other building industry and city leadership organizations in order to become more effective and relevant ourselves. Keep up the good work!

These people have made my year as AIASCV President rewarding and enjoyable. And to all of the others who have contributed in such large fashion this year… Thank you! – (the committees / the sponsors / the scholarship award providers & recipients) All of you are vital to the health and well being of AIASCV. Now let’s enjoy the final weeks of 2012 and look forward to an even more successful 2013.

2012 AEP Progression Conference It is always inspiring to spend time with other architects, sharing ideas and learning of innovative projects that are making impacts in their local communities. I recently had the privilege to attend another such event, along with AIASCV colleagues Chuck Campanella, Stephanie Silkwood, and Allison Young, at the 2012 AIACC Academy of Emerging Professional’s Progression Conference.

Held in San Francisco at The Center on September 22nd, it was the inaugural event of a new annual statewide conference intended to “gather together architects, designers, emerging talent, interns and students to inspire new ways of thinking about the future of design and the built environment.”

With AIA LA Chapter President and Young Architect award winner Stuart Magruder presiding, the day’s focus included presentations by emerging professionals who are ‘paying it forward’ one innovative project at a time, often despite or perhaps even because of the challenges they face.

For a full list of presenters and their topics, I encourage you to visit the post-event wrap up by organizer Jana Itzen at: aiacc.org/2012/10/01/ progression-conference-wrap-up/ Highlights for me included: Sarah Filley of Popuphood discussing how they are bringing life to previouslyvacant storefronts in Old Oakland, CA, through the unique and complex, joint efforts of retail shop owners, property owners, and city leaders working together: www.popuphood.com/

The event ended with a happy hour social mixer at the Proxy SF Beer Garden. All in all it was an informative, energizing, sunny day in the city, amongst dynamic, dedicated colleagues. I would encourage everyone to attend next year’s conference if you’re able!

Emerging Professionals Tour PAMF

On October 29th, several of our AIASCV Chapter’s emerging professionals received a very informative and educational tour through a modern medical center facility under construction in Sunnyvale.

Graciously hosted by the architects, Hawley Peterson Snyder, and the contractor, DPR Construction, the group received a visual presentation of the project’s 3-D BIM model, and a one hour walking tour through the 120,000 SF project.

Through the presentation of the BIM model, we learned: • The design team used Revit 3-D software, while the construction team used Autocad 3D software to model the building’s MEP systems. MEP models included any pipe greater than ¾” diameter, and involved a team of approximately 15 members over a period of approximately 6 months.

• The construction team also used Navisworks software as a clash detection tool, prior to building systems fabrication and installation.

Doing so enabled them to identify and resolve conflicts ahead of time, saving time and cost by avoiding such conflicts during construction.

The 2- and 3-story Type 1B facility sits over a 2-story parking garage, and will house approximately 65 doctors and their support staff. With nearly 75% of the building shell and core completed, and over 50% of the interior work complete, this tour offered a rare opportunity for our group to visit a large project under construction, at a time when the building structure, metal stud framing, mechanical ductwork, electrical conduit, plumbing pipes, and other essential behind-the-scenes equipment, was installed but still exposed to view.

Palo Alto Medical Foundation Tour (continued)

•

The design and construction teams are using an Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) approach, working closely together through all phases and sharing in any project cost impacts, whether they beat or exceed the established project cost and schedule.

Different colors in the Navisworks software can be used to identify not only different components (HVAC supply, HVAC return, fire sprinkler piping, etc), but also the status of the item’s construction (sent to fabricator, installed, etc).

Through the walking tour of the site, we learned: • Construction began in Spring 2011, and is scheduled for completion in May 2013. The project is currently tracking ahead of schedule.

• The project’s exterior colors and materials relate to other existing PAMF buildings on the campus, and to nearby single-family homes. Special detailing of those items adds a modern aesthetic to the new facility.

• The café on the third floor will be open to the public when the facility is complete.

• The project includes a 9” expansion joint separating one side of the building from the other, to allow for differential movement.

• The project also includes a linear accelerator oncology treatment room, which is surrounded by 4-foot thick concrete walls, floor, and ceiling, reinforced with steel shavings.

We learned all of this and so much more from our hosts; it was a truly wonderful event. Thank you Kevin Davies, AIA, and John Spotorno, AIA, of Hawley Peterson Snyder, and Dennis Bartlett of DPR Construction!!

Emerging Professionals Tour Facebook In September, seventeen AIASCV Emerging Professional members visited the new Facebook Campus; the tour was led by the Facebook project team (Steve Tsuruoka, Project Manager for Facebook, Linh Duong, IT Program Manager for Facebook and Randy Howder, Design Strategist for Gensler). The buildings are EFIS with steel moment frames and exposed steel columns, ceilings & pipes. One main design concept on the existing buildings was to preserve the history by showing some of the demolished wall outlines on the concrete floors. The buildings have no numbers or separate identity, but the overhang at each main entry is color-coded.

The team explained how the Facebook culture integrated with the building/space design. The “opened” working environment was designed and planned throughout the entire campus, which allows employees to increase productivity and encourages inspiration and innovative ideas. The campus is planned as a mini-town with high security and good flow.

Highlights ● Presentation by Randy on Facebook culture and concepts ● Free dinner at one of the Facebook cafeterias (in-house chef, very healthy) ● Facebook caps were distributed as a gift to each member who visited ● Integration of new and exciting buildings ● Closed campus with internal courtyard, good security system that can fit everyone in central court if necessary for an office-wide event/ concert ● The word ‘HACK’ at the middle of the courtyard is visible from airplanes flying to SF. ● Wayfinding through monitors with colorcoding and special ceiling finishes. ● One kitchen per floor (including snacks, drinks...etc) ● Encourage employees to move around in the campus and find their own comfortable space (e.g. if one workstation gets loud, move to a quiet spot in the library) ● Many different space layouts, providing interesting views and settings for inspiration ● Building a culture and appreciation of art.

Painted graffiti on the walls. ● Good sizing of window openings provides a good sense of the “outside” and encourages well-being of employees. ● The Facebook wall for visitors to leave a mark.

One Workplace Work environments today need to be dynamic, not static! Today’s office space is being reshaped by a new generation of companies. Gone are the old days with private offices for the executives (corner offices for the “bigwigs”). The new office revolution, like many other trends taking place, is about downsizing, becoming more efficient with square footage, and more productive with flexible space planning. One Workplace is at the front of the curve on inventing and constructing these new places of work.

The traditional office environment has been challenged by some of the younger technology companies like Google and Facebook. The office world no longer values privacy and separation as it did in the past, but instead it embraces “collaboration” and “integration”. People getting together and sharing ideas and information is what is “hot”. One Workplace not only gets this concept, but is a leader in creating this new office paradigm.

One Workplace is a family owned business established in 1928 as a stationary store in downtown San Jose, by Marie and Elmo Ferrari. In 1999 the Ferrari family acquired Rucker Fuller and changed their name to “One Workplace”. Today One Workplace is the premier Steelcase Furniture dealership for Northern

California, with expertise in diverse sectors such as office furnishings, architectural walls, audio visual, corporate environments, health care and education.

They also represent over 300 other manufacturers of products for the office environment. Eighty-five years after their founding, the next generation of Ferrari’s is leading the team and in 2013 they will move into their own new building in Santa Clara. This new space embraces the “new” interconnected multi-posture, real estate minimization work space of the future.

Wolfe and Wolfe Home Tour

San Jose might not be synonymous with any particular style or have an architectural aesthetic that one could point to and easily decipher as being San Josean.

While there are some cities that have their bay windows, brownstone facades and others have ornate terraces that are stylistically linked to that region but are actually borrowed from that other part of the world one would equate with giving us the foundation for our country's design sensibility. Regardless of where any particular style can trace it's roots to, what's worth noting for history's sake is that all regions have their own aesthetic or style, perhaps borrowed or completely original. What makes that perfect marriage of style and function stand the test of time is perhaps great design. The architectural firm of Wolfe and Wolfe, founded by the late Frank Delos Wolfe, can be noted for giving this region it's California Prairie aesthetic.

I had the opportunity to take the very first San Jose Preservation Action Council's Home Tour this last August, which showcased the style of one particular architectural firms work and style. It gave me an insightful look into the work of the late Wolfe & Wolfe firm. Wolfe & Wolfe was a father and son firm that traces its roots back to the Midwest where they were somewhat smitten by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright's influence on Wolfe and Wolfe is obvious in a few of their best known homes that still stand today and were chosen to be participants in this year's tour. A particular favorite for its long horizontal lines, elongated entry steps and high elevation on a large perched up lot is the Col house. Confident that it was produced by Wright and of course knowing that Wright's firm contributed to the architectural landscape with his cake-like Center for the Performing Arts building, it was easy to assume that homes like the Col house, as well as the Wolfe house, were earlier works by Wright. Having grown up in San Jose and having passed by them countless times, I simply assumed they were authentically Wrightonion.

Frank Delos Wolfe worked in an array of different styles from Shingle and Queen Anne to Spanish revival. Some of his signature homes are very much a

part of the landscape today and others have fallen to the effects of nature. As a result of neglect, they can be found on a kind of endangered edifice list, as is the case is with the Griffen house, built for the owner of the Del Monte Fruit Co. and listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The stylistic form that the Wolfe & Wolfe firm was noted for during its shortlived father and son partnership is probably its most beautiful one and it's no wonder that the Preservation Action Council felt that a home tour should be focused around the works of their firm. Most of the homes on the tour were either in the Naglee Park or Hanchett Park areas, with exceptions of the Caputo House near Stevens Creek and Cypress, and the Frank and Nellie Wolfe Home in the Willow Glen Area.

The first part of the tour started at the Caputo House, perhaps one of the better-looking exteriors, in part for its large front yard and well proportioned horizontality. Its owner and one of the organizers of the home tour, Krista Van Laan, was quick to point out that all of the decorative glass work above in the clerestory windows was original, as was the fireplace and the built-in buffet cabinet.

I then made my way to the Frank and Nellie Wolfe House in Willow Glen, the peach colored corner home that served as Wolfe's primary residence during the period that he was working in the Prairie Style.

Among the many features of the home that were restored to its original glory was the brick work along the front entry way, the front door, the stamped aluminum exterior frieze detail, as well as the exterior color.

The interior of the home had all of the trademark details that most of the Wolfe homes were known for: the egg and dart crown molding, two-tone wood entry dividers, built in buffet, long thin sandstone-like brick fireplace, and mantle. Having a somewhat more vertical feeling than the other, longer, prairie style homes, the Frank and Nellie Wolfe residence seemed like a perfect fit for the small corner lot that the house sits on. Despite its modest footprint, the tall ceilings along the living room quickly draw your eye up to the home’s interior open space.

homes, some of them kept their fireplaces while others were covered up through previous remodels.

One element that they all kept intact was the windows; the large panoramic windows were perhaps a novel feature during the early part of the last century. One can almost see the dissatisfaction Victorian era-minded architects or designers would have had in their objection to the obvious loss of privacy.

The Col, Hageman and Nelson Houses in the Hanchett Park area were the pinnacle of the tour, in part to my own fascination with the Col house. It's beautiful symmetry, cantilevered roof line, and well proportioned brick columns that lead to a spacious entry courtyard are a testament to the Col's adaptation of the idea of outdoor living, evident in the house's massing that surrounds the courtyard.

Almost kitty corner to the Col House is the Hageman House. Among my favorite features of that house are its large ceilings in the living room as well as its double panoramic windows that allow for a good amount of light, which is needed due to its northern exposure.

Steve Hinderberger, from Hindesign, a designer and enthusiast of early 21st Century Modern design, was gracious enough to provide me access to photograph his Nelson house. A bungalow by its shape and scale, unlike the those in the Naglee Park area, the Nelson House has a more centralized entry, its front porch is symmetrically centered, while the door is slightly off center but perfectly balanced by a porch window that can be seen from the foyer. Its pitched roof also makes this one stand out among the bunch. Steve's passion for art and all things modern are evident in his wide assortment of Noguchi, Breuer and Eames furnishings. The living room’s interior preserves its classic Prairie style brick fireplace. The dining room's built-in buffet is the perfect focal point to showcase some of Steve's personal collection pieces, like a Michael Graves tea set. His walls are alive with works

by Miro, Harring and M.C.Escher. The Nelson House's design-savvy owner has made it a real designlover's home, both with his immaculate preservation of the home as well as the seamless modernization of the kitchen, basement and backyard living area.

The next leg of the tour led me to the Naglee Park area. The Rampe House, the Henkle House and the Jones House were even more modest in size and could all be described as true bungalows, in part due to their thin and long floor plans that were more or less dictated by the thin and long lots. They all had asymmetrical porch covered entries, their deep, covered entryways flanked by robust columns create a sense of grandeur. Despite the smaller scales of these

While Santa Barbara, San Francisco or Monterey might have their own aesthetics that are very much an architectural vernacular in their own right, the passion for design and function that Wolfe & Wolfe borrowed from the Midwest is obvious in the legacy and treasures that they left this part of the world. Despite there being very few Wolfe and Wolfe homes around to look at, I'll be quick to admit that the California Prairie style has been added to my vocabulary.
