Last Chance to Grab a SpotCanstruction® at Reagan National Airport November 1
Save the Date...
AIA Northern Virginia celebrated twenty-three stunning projects at our Design Awards Celebration on June 6. The sellout crowd enjoyed the movie-themed evening at the Old Town Theater in Alexandria, eating popcorn while winning projects were shown on the large movie screen.
Chapter President, Edward Weaver, AIA welcomed guests to the historic theater, which has been entertaining the community with live performances for almost 100 years. Master of Ceremonies, Paul Erickson, AIA and Design Awards Committee Co-Chairs Karen Conkey, AIA and J. Paul Lewis, AIA recognized the winning project teams with award certificates. As each project was announced, giant-scaled images appeared on the screen, accompanied by a video of the jury sharing their comments, filmed by J. Paul during the jury session in Atlanta.
New this year, two distinct juries judged the submissions; one for residential projects and one for all our other categories.

Design requires unfettered freedom, curiosity and exploration, wide open brainstorming and creative flashes that generate unique thoughts and combinations of knowledge that can lead to the innovations so as-siduously sought. Sure, that’s true enough, and for a while that lack of restrictions is critical to the process of generating ideas that can become breakthrough answers to our cli-ents’ problems. On the other hand, nothing of enduring architectural value can entirely avoid or resist
a measure of conformity to authority – compliance with rules, regulations, codes and mandates; observance of local customs and practices; adherence to client budgets, technical requirements and program; deference to review boards and panels; obedience to gravity and the laws of physics. Sorry to be a downer.
But the process of finding the fertile ground where these archi-tectural answers can grow and flourish, a place of successful compromise between freedom and conformity to the “rules,” is an important quest for every architect or firm. What does it mean for an approach to be design-driven versus management-driven? How can you have one without the other, and still produce some-thing real, something that can exist outside the mind, the text, the theoretical journals and the “unbuilt” category of some awards program?
A goal should be to create a balance: openness and the spirit of experimentation informed by experience, facts and research. Fresh ideas with promising but unknown implications, tested and examined through the lens of what we know. That’s how ideas are refined to become solutions.
I had a client recently that said, while they were strongly inter-ested in innovation, “the building is not an experiment.” While one can conceive of cases where the building might be such*, it is easy to conclude that most clients are not interested in funding the trial and error of true experimentation where their people, us-ers and very institutions can be subject to non-trivial failure.
* Here we can include projects for building systems research, ground-breaking innovation for institutions whose focus is just that sort of envelope-pushing, and projects for the fabulously wealthy and frivolous, at least those who don’t hesitate to sign restrictive limitation of liability clauses.

AIA Northern Virginia Lunch Series
For most, buildings must perform and support their missions, or, at the worst, they represent an existential threat to the organiza-tion itself. Think about a retail store that fails to attract and serve customers, a school that hinders learning, a museum building with a cost that bankrupts the institution, a laboratory that cannot control its environment, and an office that distracts workers from their tasks. Or how about this simple one: a building of any kind with a roof that leaks.
We can engage our clients in an exploration beyond their base, but respect their understanding of their craft. And that respect and understanding is a prerequisite for gaining enough trust for the client to go along with us on the journey; demonstrating our seriousness (design is serious business, after all), even within a messy and “seemingly chaotic” process of design.
One of the most compelling examples of this method is demon-strated in a wonderful little video about the firm IDEO, whose team was challenged by the producers at ABC’s Nightline pro-gram to reconceive the humble shopping cart. Yes, the video is getting old, but the design process described is a fresh as ever.See clips:

Since it inspires free inquiry and data gathering, inspiration and engineering, creativity and rigor, the outcome is not predeter-mined, and neither is it based solely on inexpert brainstorming with no limits or “guardrails.” Enlightened trial and error is how it is described. All of us are capable of designing by trial and error, but how are we doing at being enlightened about it? That’s where experience comes in, where expertise is called into action and knowledge of the client is relied upon more heavily than just “a new perspective” or “another set of (uninformed) eyes.” There is a profound time of synthesis where everything comes together in alchemistic fashion to make design gold out of sometimes leaden inputs. At least we hope that time comes on every proj-ect….
It is perhaps a fool’s errand to try to determine what element is most important to the interplay, when the truth is that all are es-sential. So how do you, or your studio or firm, create an environ-ment for design that is challenging, yet relaxed? Serious, yet playful? Structured, yet entrepreneurial? Rigorous, freewheeling, pioneering and grounded?
Perhaps this is our place in the grand scheme – being the great integrators of people and ideas, from curiosity to construction, and beyond. What do you think? Share your thoughts with

HUD Announces Design CompetitionRequest for Qualifications due July 19
REBUILD BY DESIGN is a multi-stage regional design competition, recently launched by US Housing and Urban Development (HUD), to address the needs of those displaced by Hurricane Sandy.
The Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force issued a Request for Qualifications on June 20. Responses must be received by July 19, 2013. Billions of dollars of recovery funding will be guided by the proposals that are submitted through this competition.
The goal of the competition is two-fold: to promote innovation by developing regionally-scalable but locally-contextual solutions that increase resilience in the region and to implement selected proposals with both public and private funding.
The competition will take advantage of HUD Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding to incentivize implementation of winning projects and proposals. Examples of design solutions are expected to range in scope and scale – from large-scale green infrastructure to small-scale residential resiliency retrofits.
For more information, including the competition process and rules, visit the competition website at

DesignDC is back and bigger in 2013 and is once again your best opportunity in the region to earn continuing education, network with colleagues and learn about new products and trends all in one location. This year’s theme, “Framing the Future,” examines how architects, designers and planners truly create the future of our community. By learning from the past we can better inform our forthcoming designs and create a better sense of place and purpose. The future can be more powerful, more sustainable and more enriching with good design, and these designs impact all aspects of society. Future generations will experience the visions of today’s architects. Attend DesignDC and share in the dialogue about how we shape our future.
Produced by AIA|DC, AIA Potomac Valley, AIA Northern Virginia, and the Congress for the New Urbanism DC Chapter, DesignDC 2013 will offer attendees over 40 education sessions, two amazing keynote presentations, a trade show with over 70 exhibitors and tours of several significant projects.
The event kicks off on Wednesday, September 25 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. The opening general session that morning features famed town planner and founder of the Congress for the New Urbanism, Andres Duany. Duany will provide an energizing keynote presentation challenging the architectural community to use their unique position to shape and improve the future of the world. Participants will leave inspired about their role as agents of change within their own community.
Throughout Wednesday and Thursday, attendees can choose from several concurrent education sessions that qualify for AIA continuing education units (some will also qualify for GBCI units). Emerging professionals may sit in on sessions about

licensure, ethics in the profession, an introduction to the Young Architects Forum and leveraging unique talents for success. Other sessions focus on practice management – retaining talented staff, business development and the finer points of networking. Sustainability is key to our future, and designers can learn about the International Green Construction Code, lighting strategies and material transparency.
The closing general session on Thursday, September 26 will talk about the future of educational facility design as it relates to keeping students safe. A stellar panel of experts will be moderated by NPR host Kojo Nnamdi and will talk about their experiences in making schools open centers for learning while enforcing a heightened level of security. In the wake of recent school violence around the country, this timely discussion will be something architects, educators and parents alike will not want to miss.
On Friday, September 27, the fun moves to the District Architecture Center. Attendees have the option to attend longer, more in-depth seminars on the energy code and the A.R.E. Structures exam. Tours of completed local projects will run throughout the day including City Center DC, Dunbar High School, Stoddard Elementary and the recently renovated Northeast Public Library. Tours fill up early, so register soon for the greatest selection.

Though the Earth be Moved - A Summer Solstice Hard Hat Tour of Washington National Cathedralby David A. Prevette, AIAChair, Schools Connections Committee
By sunset of June 21, the tilt of the planet’s semi-axis became its most inclined toward the sun at 23° 26’. Astronomers and fifth grade teachers alike tell us that this happens twice each year, at which times the sun reaches its highest position in the sky as seen from the north or the south pole. Fortunately for several local architecture students and members of our Historic Resources Committee, the “longest day” of the year was experienced by each of them at the highest point in physical elevation in our nation’s capital. The summer solstice was a mere caveat of the reason for attending this construction tour, however. What brought the group together was the rare opportunity to more fully examine the impact of a less common phenomenon our eastern half of the United States experienced in August of 2011 - an earthquake! At the Washington National Cathedral, the tour covered everything from the cathedral’s fallen ruins in the entrance plaza to the top of the central tower scaffolding, where stone carvers remain busy restoring each limestone fragmented by the earthquake.
Soon after arriving, the tour leader Jim Shepherd of the National Cathedral introduced the two figures behind the epic tasks of restoration which are at hand, our chapter’s own Jakki Leger, AIA
of Wiss, Janney, Elstner and Associates, professional engineers, and Joe Alonso, the head stone mason who has dedicated his career to the Cathedral and its ongoing maintenance and restoration efforts. Joe and his crew completed the Cathedral in 1990 when they set the last piece of limestone in its northwest tower, with then President George H.W. Bush on hand to observe. Joe’s excitement and knack of storytelling were quick evidence that he is passionate about his work, his crew and his product. Jakki and Joe recalled the initial shock and experience when the earthquake brought havoc and undetermined change to the cathedral’s pinnacles. Fortunately, the beauty of true Gothic construction displayed not its weaknesses on that afternoon, but its strengths. Even architects and builders in the area may

not grasp the cathedral’s ability to withstand seismic movements, an impact that many smaller and even more modern structures in the region could not bear.
Set aside in the observation tower of the cathedral’s western face, a small exhibit of photographs, history and artifacts commemorates the experience, and the future challenge: “At 1:53pm on Tuesday, August 23, 2011, people from Atlanta to Toronto reported hearing what sounded like a freight train passing by, windows rattling, and feeling the floors pitch and roll. Moments later, a Cathedral staff member rushed out of the Cathedral and saw the central tower swaying as its bells clanged. That profound shaking continued
for almost a minute, the result of an earthquake of a magnitude 5.8 at its epicenter. One central tower grand pinnacle toppled, six of the 43 flying buttresses on the exterior sustained cracks, and several buttress pinnacles were damaged, as were many decorative carvings. While millions of dollars in donations and several years will be necessary to rebuild, the Cathedral remains structurally sound.”
The purpose of the construction tour was to capture a firsthand examination of the limestone design and
restoration process. A testimony to the choice of the true Gothic style is posted similarly in its observation tower. Should the cathedral’s architects have opted for a different architectural design or chosen a building material other than Indiana limestone, in light of a once-a-century risk of earthquake damage? The head stone mason, Joe Alonso, would adamantly respond no. “Indiana limestone was the BEST choice for building an English Gothic cathedral of this size, and its use here did not increase the structure’s vulnerability to earthquake damage. Tall stone Gothic cathedrals are in fact ideally structured to balance normal dynamic loads such as winds, and heavy static loads by their characteristic features: pointed arches, vaulted ceilings and flying buttresses.”
Mr. Alonso and Ms. Leger proudly invited each member into the inner mason’s shop, which sits above the central nave of
the cathedral, unknown to the public. Original hand drawings, blueprints from over a century of architectural design, and carefully-preserved stone molds line the upper, hidden realms in the pitched attic space. Joe described the most valuable resources shaping the restoration: the quiet, steady talent and discipline of his crew of two, who typically spend each day hand carving a “dutchman,” which is the term given to any custom new or salvaged replacement piece of stone masonry. Each tour participant soon exited squeamishly to the roof parapets, then upwards within the mason’s scaffolding to the east pinnacles, and onward to the greatest of heights: the scaffolding of the cathedral’s central tower. Along the way, the participants had the privilege of climbing 305 steps of 3 spiral staircases, see and touch the magnificent cathedral bells, view the District and beyond on a magical afternoon, and be reminded that “Though the Earth be moved,” a commitment and respect for the authenticity of materials and their inherent limitations is recognized by the hands at work, and cannot be circumvented in its restoration.

On the Boards
Civic Threshold - The Flinders Street StationKGD ArchitectureMelbourne, Australia
The Flinders Street Station currently acts as Melbourne’s connecting tissue, allowing citizens to transfer through, congregate at, and orient their daily lives around an iconic and central piece of Victorian Heritage. While the station achieves this, it also acts as a challenging physical barrier, disconnecting and separating Melbourne’s prized urban districts. In order to allow Flinders Street Station to act as a civic threshold and to embrace and connect its neighboring districts and citizens, this design proposal aims to open and perforate the station and site to foster an integration of people, functions and opportunities.
The Flinders Street Station will be a place where differing ways of life, cultures and perspectives come together to generate a thriving conversation. In order to achieve this social-economic connection, the built environment will be reflective of the variety of people and events evolving within the site. Public and private functions will be able to coexist in order to create lively mixed-use developments. These developments create a delicate balance between revenue generating programs and public services. And urban spaces and design will fully engage universal ideals of citizen engagement, allowing for a multitude of activity and understanding.
This design proposal breaks the site down into several pieces including the existing Flinders Street Station, a new East Concourse, an open air canopy and platforms, a commercial tower and residential apartments, all connected by a public waterfront and commercial edges. The existing Flinders Street Station is extended and juxtaposed by a revitalized and grand East Concourse which also acts as a base for an iconic slender skyscraper that will provide the most sought after views in the city and create a new climax in the Melbourne skyline.

The ARE Blackout began July 1 to allow NCARB time to migrate data as Alpine Testing Solutions, Inc. takes over content and candidate management for the ARE®. There will be no changes to exam content post-blackout, however, the process to schedule an exam appointment and receive score reports will be different. Then in late August, NCARB will launch a new service, within My NCARB, called My Examination for candidates to access their examination information and schedule appointments. Details are available at:
http://www.ncarb.org/en/ARE/ARE-Portal.aspx.
The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) Board of Directors recently approved the development of ARE 5.0, the next version of the examination, which will incorporate dramatic new breakthroughs in graphic testing methods. The use of case studies and new “performance item type” questions will allow the determination of a candidate’s graphic competency while not requiring the present outdated CAD software system. The division and exam structure are expected to be finalized by mid-2014, at which time information about the transition from ARE 4.0 to ARE 5.0 will be announced. ARE 5.0 is anticipated to launch in late 2016. Visit
