The Hartford Residence, a 1932 home in Old West Austin, required architectural help to address flow and add living space while maintaining the home's original charm and honouring its historic neighbourhood. The team chose to maintain a single story for the 483 SF addition of a new primary bedroom suite and laundry/mudroom. Brick from the original rear façade was carefully preserved to clad the new Mudroom entrance and outdoor fireplace so they blend seamlessly with the original structure. The original layout of the living room, dining and kitchen created challenges placing furniture, had unused space and convoluted access between rooms. The revised layout creates spaces for gathering, optimizes usable floorspace and establishes visible and accessible connections from the front to the back of the house. The addition of a large island with bar seating activates unused space in the kitchen, while new windows offer connection to the backyard and cozy new screened porch.Carina has worked in the architectural field in Austin since 2003 and is recognized within the community for her ability to create well-designed, sustainable dwellings in a way that clients feel they have been heard and valued in the process. Her work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, on two AIA Austin Homes Tours, and a number of local media outlets and publications. Carina received a Bachelor of Architecture degree as well as a B.A. in Architecture and Art History from Rice University in Houston. She is an active member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and is licensed by the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners (TBAE). Hosted on Acast.

How can architecture firms grow alongside the future of the practice by exploring other business models and embracing opportunities for innovation?On this episode of Practice Disrupted, we're excited to introduce Lawrence Fabbroni as our new Chief Innovation Officer at The Practice of Architecture. Larry is an architect with over twenty years of experience and has been involved in many major development projects in the US. Currently, he works as a consultant focusing on strategic pre-development services. Today, Larry talks about his architecture and business career and his plans to enhance innovation within our company.First, Larry discusses his career background and his role in The AIA Practice Innovation Lab. As an MBA candidate at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, Larry shares key takeaways he learned that can benefit our approach to innovation in architecture.Then, we dive into the challenges that firms encounter in managing growth and sustainability alongside the evolution of architecture and AI. Larry highlights what we're currently working on and our goals, how our consulting service differs from others in the AEC space, and the exciting opportunities to merge the expertise of Larry's network with The Practice of Architecture network.In the world of innovation, we separate what we define as invention and innovation. There's multiple types of innovation that can happen, and the most common is to innovate iteratively on what you already do, right? I think architects are really inclined to want to be really creative and kind of develop something brand new all the time. That's how you cause major disruption, maybe, but that's not the majority of innovation that's happening in this other space. - Larry Fabbroni To wrap up the conversation, we explore the importance of mindset shifts for fostering innovation in the industry's future, the role of mid-sized companies, the potential for creativity, and the influence of workplace culture on driving innovation within firms.Tune in next week for an episode where we continue our "Architecture, and" series with a guest who's making a significant impact beyond traditional practice—Laura Wake-Ramos.

Following in the footsteps of his father, an architect with a drive for justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, Steve designs, speaks, mentors, and volunteers tirelessly to advocate for what he believes in and to see those values embodied in the built environment. He and Ted discuss his AIA Presidential candidacy and campaign experience, the elements of sustainable design, digging into embedded materials, energy use, building decarbonization, and electrification. Steve concludes that he is dedicated to equity in design to affect positive change for the future of architecture.
For four years now, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, or DEI, has been a priority in C-Suites everywhere. Not only is it considered the right thing to do, but to do business in the corporate, nonprofit, or government sectors, a clear, actionable DEI policy has been a necessity. However, in recent months, there has been a softening of that stance, which led us to wonder “Is DEI Still a Priority?

Welcome to our fifth podcast in our new series hosted by the AIA Utah BEC | COTE Committee called Building Resilience that encompasses all these wonderful things about:ArchitectureBuilding technologyMaterials Methodologies specific to this building's regionAn open conversation about how buildings can make the built and global environment betterOn this episode we talked with Congressman John Curtis, who founded the House Conservative Climate Caucus in 2021, and has been a vocal advocate for environmental stewardship within the Republican Party. Despite opposition from Republicans to bills like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act, which offer substantial funding for climate initiatives, Congressman Curtis acknowledges their potential for promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy, while also highlighting challenges such as resistance to newer building codes and electrification efforts for home heating and cooling systems.As buildings contribute substantially to emissions, with residential structures alone accounting for up to 40%, collaboration between the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and congressional representatives is crucial. The congressman emphasizes the need for architects to engage in discussions on legislation aimed at reducing emissions and encourages designers to consider the public benefits of sustainable building practices. His unique perspective, shaped by experiences across the political spectrum and in his personal life, underscores the importance of bipartisan cooperation in addressing climate challenges in Washington and focusing on the little things at home.Music: Outdoors in Summer by Shane Ivers - www.silvermansound.comCongressman John Curtis - www.curtis.house.gov
A construction site is a very complicated place. There's a number of stakeholders and participants that can create both liability and risk.In this episode of the Krieg DeVault Podcast Series, Krieg DeVault attorney, George Lepeniotis speaks with colleagues Blake Holler and Chris Bloomer, attorneys in the Construction Law Practice. While some aspects of construction law look like the “Wild West,” much of the practice area is governed by statutory law. The trio discuss the importance of American Institute of Architects (AIA) documents, the standardized contracts that are foundational for many construction projects. While AIA documents can be important starting points, lawyers are still able to negotiate the specifics of contracts based on the needs of the project. Ultimately, these highly specialized construction contracts serve to prevent future litigation. Blake and Chris also begin a discussion about mechanic's liens, which are governed by the hyper-technical Indiana Mechanic's Lien Act, which will be the focus of future podcasts.

In this long awaited podcast episode, I speak with Architect and Broker Associate Brian Linder, AIAA seasoned real estate professional with 20 years of experience in high-end, custom residential design and construction and a master's degree in architecture, Brian Linder, AIA, brings design-oriented expertise to the buying and selling of estates, architectural properties and historic residences.Over the course of his career, Brian has represented some of the most notable properties in Los Angeles, including work by Rudolf Schindler, Angélil/Graham, Coop Himmelblau and Eric Owen Moss. His sophisticated eye and understanding of complex real estate transactions have enabled him to assist buyers in finding value for their investment at every level of spending. A skilled marketer and Certified Negotiation Expert, Brian has also helped owners and developers market distinctive projects, from land with plans through the construction of speculative ventures. Viewing architecture as an opportunity, he brings his expertise to help buyers find the most interesting, well-designed homes available in their price range, and to help sellers get the highest possible prices for their special architect-designed homes.Brian has built his real estate practice around a concept he calls “The Value of Architecture.” This concept is based on the notion that architectural homes provide countless lifestyle benefits, carry greater premiums, and tend to be less sensitive to market fluctuations. Brian leads the ongoing UCLA Extension course “The Value of Architecture” and has further developed this thesis in presentations to the American Institute of Architects, the Society of Architectural Historians and various local and national audiences. Brian is also committed to promoting architecture as art, featuring the work of practicing architects, including Marmol Radziner, Pugh Scarpa, and Patrick Tighe, on his website.Brian spent several years as an architect and construction manager before earning his broker's license and joining the firm formerly known as Mossler Deasy & Doe, the original marketers of architectural real estate in Los Angeles. Licensed in California, Texas and Washington, Brian has since been involved in the sale of architectural properties from Southern to Northern California and marketed out-of-state properties as far afield as New Canaan, Connecticut. In addition to working out of Compass's Beverly Hills office, Brian holds court in Austin, Texas and has sold numerous architectural homes in a wide radius, including properties in Marfa, Texas, the minimalist modern art and architecture mecca.When he's not representing clients in real estate, Brian enjoys spending time with his kids, doing hot yoga several times a week—sometimes followed by a cold plunge in the ocean or Barton Springs when in Austin—hiking, mountain biking, surfing, touring architectural homes, organic gardening and chicken husbandry (he has seven raised beds and eight laying hens in his front yard), traveling, meditation and Native American studies. Brian holds a BS in Business Administration from Carnegie Mellon University and MA in Architecture from UCLA. He is an active member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and certified by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards.Here's a link to his website: https://thevalueofarchitecture.com/Link to Blog:https://inmawomanarchitect.blogspot.com/2023/09/interview-podcast-w-brian-linder-aia-of.html

She offers new-construction risk-mitigation consulting for residential towers, mid-rise mixed-use buildings, and production homes, as well as some of the most extraordinary private residences in the world. She has worked across North America from the Canadian Arctic to the Caribbean. She began her career working for architect Chris Benedict in New York City, where she performed blower-door tests on gut rehabs in Harlem and Washington Heights and assisted in the design of one of the first multi-family Passive Houses in the United States. In her current practice, she reviews drawings and makes recommendations that promote appropriate water control, air control, energy efficiency, constructability, and durability. For clients with a portfolio of upcoming projects, she assists in developing design standards commensurate with their tolerance for risk. During the construction phase, she reviews work in progress and addresses conditions or changes in sequence or scope that were not anticipated during the design phase.In existing buildings, she investigates failures related to enclosure design and mechanical systems as well as material and installation defects. Failures include leaks, corrosion, rot, mold, odors, poor indoor air quality, and discomfort due to poor temperature or humidity control. Her experience in new construction and attendant understanding of the division of labor among the trades, and typical sequencing and construction practices inform not just her analysis in forensic cases, but also her repair and retrofit recommendations, which are designed to minimize disruption in occupied buildings.Christine Williamson is a member and former chair of ASHRAE Technical Committee 1.12, Moisture Management in Buildings.

In 2019, Dafna Kaplan embarked upon a journey to uncover the obstacles preventing true construction innovation from widespread adoption. Extensive research and development led her to launch Cassette, and garnered her the 2020 Presidential Award from the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) for her work addressing the housing crisis. In 2022, Cassette introduced a beautifully designed one-bedroom apartment pod that can stack up to six stories high into a multifamily development. Dafna's commitment is simple and straightforward: Deliver one manufactured product exceptionally well, improve that product's performance and features over time, and with that discipline and repetition – reverse the cost escalation in housing construction.

Architectural glass artist Elizabeth Devereaux traveled across the globe looking for an international education in art and architecture, from San Rafael to Vienna, then Munich. She founded her California studio in 1969, and more than 50 years later is an accomplished architectural glass artist with works installed all over the US and Canada. Devereaux states: “In an architectural setting, I always like to work in a site-specific way, noting the place and region itself, as well as the architectural style the artwork is in, the light, the interior and exterior environment. I work collaboratively, which then requires me to listen to the client/committee's story, to define their identity and understand what has meaning for them, and then to synthesize all of the information within my own style and artistic vision.” One of Devereaux's most notable liturgical commissions, Christ Cathedral Memorial Gardens, Garden Grove, California, is located at an architectural pilgrimage destination. The Cathedral buildings are designed by three of the 20th century's most significant architects – Philip Johnson, Richard Neutra, and Richard Meier. The new Memorial Gardens' focus was to be “The Risen Christ” worshiped by two angels. It needed to be highly visible from the exterior, giving reference to life's journey and connecting Baptism (in the Cathedral) to death and resurrection (in the Mausoleum). Relying on reflective light, 24-carat gold luster paint allowed the windows to be clearly seen from the Cathedral opposite, as well as in the Mausoleum, which was flanked by 12 large panels of amber stained and shaded clear glass. These 12 panels were fabricated by Derix Studio in Germany; the rest of the commission was fabricated in Devereaux's Chico studio. Forty-four clerestory windows created in mouthblown cobalt streaky on clear German Lamberts glass link the interior rooms. Between each are prisms referring to the tower at the Cathedral. In another major liturgical project, at Our Lady of New Clairvaux Abbey, Vina, California, Devereaux expressed The Cistercian charism of simplicity in a contemporary style with a reference to its ancient history. The new monastery at New Clairvaux was originally a 12th-century monastery in Northern Spain. In the early 1930s William Randolph Hearst bought the monastery and imported it to California. Shortly afterwards, the Great Depression and World War II made it impossible for Hearst to build it, and he deeded it to the City of San Francisco. There it languished for 40 years behind the De Young Museum until Father Thomas Davis, a young monk newly arrived to the New Clairvaux Monastery, heard the story and had a vision of acquiring the stones for the new Abbey. The Abbey consulted with British and Spanish historians, and hired German stone carvers to re-form and recut the missing stones. The art glass in 12-century European Cistercian monasteries is abstract, simple, and often soft amber and white in color. Devereaux's windows appear simple at first glance, but in fact, are complex in their fabrication. The Fremont Antique glass was custom mouthblown to shade from white opak to clear, allowing the exterior landscape to be part of the design. It was also painted and kiln-fired with amber stain, then intersected vertically with handmade prisms. Since the monks worship during the day and night, the artist painted and fired a reflective 24-carat gold luster pattern onto the surface, bringing the translation of New Clairvaux or “Valley of Light” to life. In San Francisco, for Noe Valley Ministry's Coming to the Center window, Devereaux selected triple-flashed, mouth-blown glass, which was etched to the clear layer to portray the constellations. The transition from “sky” to “center” was accomplished by selecting custom blown rose to clear and purple to aqua glass. This allowed the glass to be sprayed and fired with orange luster, creating the subtle transition from lavender to amber. The amber “center” was leaded and laminated front and back with lead “overlay” “branches” to reference beloved artist Ruth Azawa's twig-like cross in the sanctuary. The center spiral links to the labyrinth in the space. Devereaux explains: “I always loved transparency—working with watercolor, silkscreen, overlaying color. When I discovered glass, I realized the incredible aspects of painting with light. Mouth-blown textures and color can be designed to meet direct sunlight and be projected in mysterious ways across the interior space. Or if the window is facing an unwanted view, it is possible to use translucent glass, allowing light in, but not the view or the glare. I also love the use of reflective materials, polished metals, in conjunction with glass, but sometimes mirror, and 24-carat gold, silver, and platinum lusters sprayed and fired onto glass. This allows the window to have a nightlife, different from the day. I also love pattern, making a “logo” or distillation of the meaning of the commission, then repeating it into a fabric woven into the artwork.” Devereaux has always been active in her architectural and liturgical communities, serving on the National Advisory Board of Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art, and Architecture (IFRAA), a Knowledge Community of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) from 2009- 2014 and as a Juror for Faith & Forum/ IFRAA Religious Art & Awards, Seattle, WA, 2005. Her own IFRAA and Faith and Form awards include: 2018 Honor Award for Religious Art in New Clairvaux Abbey, Vina, CA; 2018 Codaworx Liturgical Art Award, Holy Family Catholic Church, Fond du Lac, WI.; 2008 Design Merit Award, St. Maximilian Kolbe, Westlake Village, CA; 2006 Design Honor Award, Blessed Trinity, Frankenmuth, MI; 1992 Visual Arts Award, St. Joseph Cathedral, San Jose, CA. She has also been presented with Ministry & Liturgy Annual Visual Art Awards, Bene & Best of Show in 2008, 2005, 2003, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1994, 1992. Devereaux's non-liturgical commissions are numerous and include New Mexico Behavioral Health Institute, Las Vegas, New Mexico, for which she won a Public Art Award; George Sim Community Center, Sacramento, California, Public Art Award; and Chico City Plaza, Chico, California, Design consultant team and Public Art Award. Her present commission is Dignity French Hospital Swanson Chapel in San Luis Obispo, CA, and includes 700 square feet of laminated art glass. Devereaux and her studio crew – Owen Gabbert, longtime project manager, Marie Swanson, Devereaux's son, Chris Tallant, and nephew, Abraham Devereaux – are responsible for many public art, hospital, and corporate commissions. Though her studio's main focus remains liturgical commissions, every window designed is site specific and custom made for that specific place. Devereaux knows how to listen and let inspiration find her, in a melding of her talent with the soul of each location.

Standardized Construction Contracts and Insurance Claims https://zalma.com/blog Purchasing a standardized and industry-accepted form is less expensive than asking an attorney to draft a specific contract from scratch, although on a large project, it is often a good idea to involve counsel to review and/or modify the standardized forms to protect the client's interests. Generally though, sources that create construction contracts are equipped to protect standardized form users because they are familiar with: new case law that affects the interpretation of the contracts; new statutes that affect the interpretation or application of the contract terms; the need to resolve legal issues that become apparent so that they will not arise in future contracts; the need to conform to changing building codes and construction-related statutes; and the need to conform to changing insurance policy wording and regulations. The most extensively used standardized forms are those that have been developed by the American Institute of Architects (AIA). AIA Contract Documents have defined the contractual relationships in the design and construction industry for 120 years.” AIA contracts can save the parties time and money; are up to date and constantly revised, provide assistance in dealing with new design and construction issues. The contracts can now be purchased in MS Word format. One of the most useful sources of contract documentation is the American Institute of Architects. This organization was established on February 23, 1857, when 13 architects met to create an architecture organization that would “promote the scientific and practical perfection of its members” and “elevate the standing of the profession.” Before this time, anyone could be called an architect, including masons, carpenters, bricklayers, and other members of the building trades. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barry-zalma/support

Richard Gage is a well respected member of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, his architectural career has spanned close to 3 decades. His work has included numerous fire-proofed, steel-framed buildings and most recently engineering construction documents for a $400M mixed-use urban project with 1.2M square feet of retail space, 320,000 square feet of mid-rise office space and parking structure. The project totals 1,200 tons of steel framing. Why is this important? Caused by two commercial airliners, he has dedicated the past decade, since 2006, trying to understand the engineering feat that was, the terror attack that caused a complete demolition of the World Trade Towers in lower Manhattan - September 11, 2001. It could possibly be considered that the terrorist organization who masterminded this attack, may have quite possibly placed thermite demolition explosive agents in the building to aid their attack - collapse.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) launched its fourth annual film challenge on Monday, June 18. The challenge is a part of the AIA’s “Blueprint for Better” campaign, an initiative that highlights the collaborative work of architects and civic leaders to solve some of the biggest issues facing cities today. The film challenge started in 2015 and every year participants have shot and submitted three to five-minute documentaries that shed a light on how civic leaders are working with architects to solve some of the most pressing issues of our time, such as infrastructure, urban issues, natural disasters and housing shortages. This year, the AIA will also be premiering its new short-documentary film alongside the film challenge titled “Caño Martin Peña: A Blueprint for Better”. The film depicts the rebuilding efforts of an architect and community leader in Puerto Rico following last year’s devastating Hurricane Maria that left more than three million people without power. Submissions for the film challenge—due by 8:59 p.m. EST on Monday, Aug. 27—will be subject to two rounds of judging. The first round of winners will be selected by a panel of jurors from the media, architecture and film industries. A second round will be open for public voting to choose the “People’s Choice Winner.” Last year’s competition garnered more than 268,000 votes. Participants will have the chance to win a $5,000 grand prize that includes distribution of the film through a multitude of channels, including screenings at the Architecture and Design Film Festival on Oct. 16 in New York in addition to travel and accommodations. The “People’s Choice Winner” will receive a screening at the Chicago Ideas Festival. Other finalists will be awarded a $500 prize. American Institute of Architects At-large Director Peter Exley stops by to talk about the great work being done around the country when there is collaboration between innovative government and a committed private sector.

“In 2015, about 40% of total U.S. energy consumption was consumed in residential and commercial building” According to the U.S. Green Building Council, “In the United States alone, buildings account for almost 40 percent of national CO2 emissions and out-consume both the industrial and transportation sectors, but LEED-certified buildings have 34 percent lower CO2 emissions, consume 25 percent less energy and 11 percent less water, and have diverted more than 80 million tons of waste from landfills. 1 [1]“ Listen to Jessyca Henderson, Managing Director, Policy and Community Relations at The American Institute of Architects (AIA) tell us about how building construction is changing, the impact of the new green construction code and what it means for you. “The IgCC is the first model code to include sustainability measures for the entire construction project and its site — from design through construction, certificate of occupancy and beyond. The new code is expected to make buildings more efficient, reduce waste, and have a positive impact on health, safety and community welfare.” She’ll also talk about women seeking careers in sustainable building. Here are a few resources too: If you’re an architect, contractor or want to know how to use the new International Green Construction Code: https://www.aia.org/resources/8771-aia-guide-to-the-igcc If you want a more technical read of the Code itself: http://www.iccsafe.org/codes-tech-support/international-green-construction-code-igcc/international-green-construction-code/ To learn more Green Connections Radio, go to www.greenconnectionsradio.com.

For the past several years many of us have been struggling to survive. We've taken the work we could get and reduced our expenses to the absolute minimum. As we crawl out from the darkness, the warm sunshine of a recovering economy feels so good. Even though our boards are beginning to fill, the pain of survival is lingering. Many small businesses, including many small architecture firms, after years of finding ways to keep the doors open are succumbing to the years of economic instability and calling it quits. For those of us who have made it through the storm have emerged with a new perspective. The days of pre-recession spending are unlikely to return any time soon. Money is short, debt is heavy and recovery is the primary focus. We're spending only what needs to be spent to build a stronger firm and much sacrifice remains. Many of my friends are evaluating their professional priorities. If they feel an expense is unnecessary or not earning them a significant return on investment, it's being cut from their budgets. One such investment seeing the axe is their long-time memberships to the American Institute of Architects (AIA). I think that’s a mistake. I think there are many advantages to membership and this week on the EntreArchitect Podcast, I will share 7 benefits to AIA Membership for Small Firm Architects. Please review this podcast on iTunes.
