Like the best aerial walkers, we must be technically proficient, we must carry the vision, and we must be graceful.

72nd Annual Convention | Design Products & Ideas Expo

Balance: Engaging the Immediate and Extending the Context Balance is fundamental. Much of our value to society centers in our ability to discover equilibrium. Whether we are composing an elevation, organizing user requests, resolving gravitational forces, managing business objectives, or adjudicating deeply-held beliefs, we are constantly seeking balance as architects. Our professional title is itself about balance. The architecton is literally the “master builder”—the one who places one piece together with another into an overarching vision. Details must be balanced in the holistic idea. Vitruvius was talking about balance when he urged that buildings must be solid, useful and beautiful. When we are at our best, architects engage the immediate details, extend the context of possibility, and balance it all with grace. We are tightrope walkers. We navigate between client groups, neighborhood associations, code officials, consultants, special interests, and lawmakers. Like the best aerial walkers, we must be technically proficient, we must carry the vision, and we must be graceful. Our best projects address the details at hand while responding well beyond the property lines of our sites. . .they anticipate future generations; they leverage our clients’ resources; they extend relationships into forging new ways of collaborating. It is that kind of thinking—beyond the property lines—beyond now, beyond here, beyond who we now know, and beyond what we now have that typifies our work. Now as we converge on Dallas, a city famous for thinking big and living large, it is inspiring to see balance here too. In 1841, when Tennessee attorney John Neely Bryan laid claim to 640 acres and sketched out a 20-street town with a courthouse square, he could not have imagined his Dallas 170 years later. A thriving national hub for commerce and industry and quickly becoming a center for arts and culture, Dallas is thinking big and living large in countless, new, balanced ways. scan for video With stirring keynote speakers, invigorating tours, stimulating sessions, exciting new products and services, and affirming fellowship, this is an opportunity for you to find balance. Engage your convention and extend your context. Balance is a beautiful thing.

8:00 AM–11:00 AM Early-Bird Workshop: COMFEN–façade design tool Maurya McClintock, McClintock Facade Consulting, LLC, Walnut Creek, CA; Robin Mitchell, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA; Stephen Selkowitz, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA This highly interactive training session is a unique opportunity to learn how to use new, free software to compare façade systems and components with respect to their ability to control solar gain, internal heating/cooling energy, lighting energy, and more. This effective desktop tool is in the public domain and was developed with the U.S. Department of Energy’s funds and backing. Receive the software and the skills to apply it in assessing energy and comfort implications of façade alternatives, particularly at early concept/schematic design and/or value-engineering phases of projects. Attendees must bring a laptop (software will be uploaded on site) to work through simulation examples in parallel with the presenters allowing questions to be addressed in real-time. Emphasis will be on how the resulting information can be used to inform sustainable design choices. 111001 LUHs 2.75

8:30 AM–11:30 AM Early-Bird Workshop: Public-Private Partnerships Geoffrey Stricker, Edgemore Real Estate Services, Bethesda, MD; Corbin Van Arnsdale, AGC-Texas Building Branch, Austin PPP or P3 is short for Public Private Partnership, a venture funded and operated through a partnership of government and one or more private sector entities. This presentation will discuss the P3 project delivery model and the role architects play. The different phases of the pursuit, “preferred proponents,” and design will be discussed in the context of fee and risk. Recommendations on integrated delivery techniques to overcome the challenges of the post-award phase will be part of the program, too. Additionally, hear about the latest developments in Texas that should smooth the way for more uniform successful P3 activity.

Tour B: Classic Modern Dallas–The Rose Residence Since the early 1990’s, Dallas has been the backdrop to a number of homes designed by nationally and internationally recognized modern architects. Nestled among the trees and wide lawns of Highland Park, University Park, and Preston Hollow are grand homes with both historic and modern roots. On this tour, visit Antoine Predock’s Rose Residence. The house engages its natural surroundings and places the focus away from the street toward the green space of the creek behind the house. The whole house takes the cue of the owner’s fondness for birdwatching, in which the wide variety of floor levels and expansive tree-covered roof garden recall a tree with branches at multiple heights, offering distinctive views depending on where one is perched.

9:30 AM–12:30 PM Early-Bird Workshop: From Blueprints to Greenbacks– Architecture as Business Michael Hellinghausen, AIA, Omniplan, Dallas While architecture is a uniquely creative business, there are nevertheless some business basics that apply to all design firms. Beginning with profit/loss fundamentals, participants will walk through an annual net revenue forecast, labor expense forecast, and overhead expense forecast, using these three components to build a fiscal-year financial summary, and then calculate key indicators for our industry. Participants will also review detailed financial reporting, and finally, use all of this information to complete a fun quiz. 111005 LUHs 2.75

Integrated Project Delivery Method–The Real Story Betsy del Monte, FAIA, The Beck Group, Dallas The term “integrated” as applied to the delivery of a building project can mean different things, from a team that simply works together, to use of the AIA’s IPD contracting system. This discussion will review the issues that an integrated delivery method addresses, and how they are impacted. It’s a unique opportunity to understand IPD in comparison to other methods. (a special presentation by the AIA Project Delivery Knowledge Community) 111006 LUHs 1.25

The Sleepover Project–Research in Senior Living David Dillard, AIA, D2 Architecture LLC, Dallas The Sleepover Project is a two-year research initiative that has sent (by end of summer 2011) virtual “sleepers” to 40 different senior living communities across the U.S. to observe and learn first hand (as a resident, complete with assigned physical limitations) what works and doesn’t work in the physical environment for elders. The learning device itself has been a top item of discussion within the architectural community. However, the findings themselves have never been presented publicly until now. 111007 LUHs 1.25

1:00 PM–4:00 PM Early-Bird Workshop: What’s the Real Impact of the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design? Jeromy Murphy, AIA, American Construction Investigators, Ltd., Houston On March 15, 2012, the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design will be mandatory for the renovation or new construction of state and local government buildings, public accommodations, and commercial facilities. Using photos and illustrations, this program cuts through the words to identify the most important changes and their impact on existing or new construction. Aside from technical changes, the format of the Standards has changed dramatically. Murphy uses a tablet to sketch examples or draw on top of photos making information easy to comprehend and apply. 111008 LUHs 2.75

John Maeda, Providence, RI Retrace the journey in design taken from a Seattle tofu factory to the Rhode Island School of Design where John Maeda became President in 2008. His path involved tireless experimentation linked to his brand of witty observation. His work in design and technology explores the area where the two fields merge. In his 2006 The Laws of Simplicity, he provides ten laws for balancing simplicity and complexity in business, technology, and design–guidelines for needing less and actually getting more. He is still learning, still figuring out what it means to be a leader, and continues to be inspired by the process of learning. Graphic designer, visual artist, and computer scientist John Maeda is also founder of the SIMPLICITY Consortium at the MIT Media Lab. His work has been exhibited in Tokyo, New York, London, and Paris and is in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. He is the recipient of many awards, including the Smithsonian Institution National Design Award

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is not changing the core values of professional design services; change is impacting the methods in which services are delivered and the way firms profit from them. Discover strategies to balance BIM in the delivery of professional design services and prepare for the next evolution in the technology continuum. 111051 LUHs 1.5

ing of how it contributes to the built environment. How has this seminal activity influenced the work of architects? In an ever global world, architectural practice everywhere is influenced, shaped, and inspired by work done internationally, yet we do not always understand this work, its context, or the forces that served to shape it in the first place.

Wesley Stidham, Shah Smith & Associates, Inc., Houston Chilled beam air conditioning systems offer a more energy efficient air conditioning system than typical VAV forced air systems with smaller mechanical spaces, less distribution duct work, and reduced construction time.

Finding the Balance: Developing Leaders for the Future Peter DeLisle, Ph.D., Posey Leadership Institute, Austin College, Sherman Do you consider yourself a “high potential” member of the design leadership community? Do you know or work with someone who has untapped leadership potential? How does your practice address the need for personal effectiveness to be balanced with the drive for design and technical excellence? This presentation is a response to the identification of leadership challenges, especially those faced by new supervisors and managers. Designed in the spirit of practicality and utility, the content to be explored places great emphasis on the ability of the participant to begin immediate application of the knowledge gained to his/ her work effort. Leaders in complex organizations will find the session especially helpful since the examples and models are based on illustrations from firms engaged in problem resolution in these domains.

1:30 PM–3:00 PM A Balanced Approach to Sustainable Design Trumps “EcoBling” Peter Pfeiffer, FAIA, Barley & Pfeiffer Architects, Austin “Green by Design” represents a balanced approach to Green Building. It is not just the right thing to do–it pays in ways that most people can understand and relate to. But architects must be able to articulate this to clients, potential clients, and the public. With the aid of specific multi-year performance data, learn to evaluate green building strategies, particularly those associated with suburban infill settings in southern climate zones, and how to effectively convey useful information in a meaningful, sensible way. 111056 LUHs 1.5

Lighting Design: Global to Local Granville McAnear, Craig Roberts Associates, Inc., Dallas Take an enlightening trip around the globe with Texas as your final destination as McAnear leads an exploration of lighting design applications. As the world embraces new environmental concerns, energy codes become more prevalent and stringent. This is propelling the emerging LED market, but in McAnear’s opinion, not quite fast enough. Come for an informative analysis of design from the perspective of a lighting designer and take home design ideas that meet your projects’ goals and visions. 111057 LUHs 1.5

3:30 PM–4:45 PM Lessons Learned from Post-Occupancy Evaluations of a High Performance Home Melinda Florian, AIA, Lake|Flato Architects, San Antonio; Hazem Rashed-Ali, University of Texas at San Antonio; Jennifer Young, Assoc. AIA, Lake|Flato Architects, San Antonio Join a team comprised of project overseers and a university assistant professor to gain insight from their collaboration experience. Their goal was to develop a protocol and overall strategy for post-occupancy evaluation. The team succeeded in full implementation of the process at one residence and is planning to apply to many others in the near future. This residential project case study demonstrates how LEED for Homes helped guide the process for creating beautiful architecture using building materials, methods, and systems that address sustainability issues. The session will cover water and energy saving strategies that helped the design achieve LEED Platinum, the 2030 Challenge target, and regional sustainable leadership. 111062 LUHs 1.25

The team will address the new prerequisites, new credits created specifically for healthcare, and the minor changes to the existing credits. Additionally, this presentation incorporates examples of current healthcare projects that are either LEED certified or seeking certification. These examples help illustrate both the intents and requirements of the credit as well as the soft and hard costs incurred through seeking LEED certification. 111063 LUHs 1.25

Balancing Energy: Tradeoffs Between Embodied and Operating Energy in Building Design Francisco Gomes, AIA, University of Texas at Austin More energy is consumed operating buildings than constructing them, but as buildings become more energy efficient, the balance between lifetime operating energy and embodied energy is rapidly changing.

Volunteer To Help a Student Mentor a Student Members have a unique opportunity to spend some convention time with an architectural student. Student registrants will express their wish to be paired with an architect or associate member at the convention. Your commitment requires only a little time and a small amount of money. Mentors will spend a few hours on Friday (preferably in the Expo) helping the student understand what convention offers and how to get the most from their convention experience, introducing them to your colleagues, and answering questions they may have related to practice. On Saturday, mentors and their students attend the Annual Awards Luncheon together with tickets purchased by you for yourself and the student. Students and their mentors/hosts will be briefly recognized during the event. This is a seldom-had opportunity to further introduce an architecture student to the profession: they will gain something not found in campus life. Please help the Society fulfill this worthy goal to interested and engaged students. If you are willing to mentor a student and can fulfill the above commitments, indicate your intent on the convention registration form and purchase an Awards Luncheon ticket for yourself and the student/mentee.

Host a Student Overnight Convention organizers are calling on AIA Dallas members to host students attending the 2011 Convention in their homes on Thursday and Friday nights (October 27 and 28) providing lodging, breakfast on Saturday, and transportation to and from the convention center if needed. Please check the appropriate box on the convention registration form if you are willing to help a student (or two) limit their cost to attend. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be serving the future of the profession and make a friend for life.
