Great design for inspiration & betterment; poor design for mediocrity & dysfunction.
Next month, on Wednesday, October 17, our biannual Design Awards Celebration will take place at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. This event is not merely a showcase for a handful of winning entries, but an opportunity for our AIASCV Chapter and the Santa Clara Valley as a whole to tip their caps to the importance of DESIGN in our world.
The theme of this year’s awards is: “Sustaining Innovation” and the program is determined to acknowledge design excellence that is not merely pleasing to the eye, but also addresses the greater topic of making our communities and our built environment perform at a higher level.
Innovation is a hallmark of Silicon Valley. Some of the greatest creative minds in the world live and work in our midst, developing products and systems that leapfrog our present comfort zone and catapult us toward the future. Innovation in architecture empowers the users of the building or community with enhanced energy, inspiration and performance. Sometimes, by using materials and systems that are very familiar in a new and more effective organization, the project becomes a beacon of light, attracting users to feel focused and energized.
Sustainability is a topic that gets a lot of press today. It is used in many contexts, but typically in the area of buildings is meant to imply a long lasting and self-sustaining contribution to the environment. Buildings that use less of our disappearing natural resources and more of the readily renewable materials and energy are included in this group. Also projects that re-

use, re-purpose and re-invent older systems in order to become relevant and functional again are candidates. All the while it is necessary that these facilities operate comfortably and efficiently for their occupants.
Seventy-five applications have been submitted for this year’s AIASCV Design Awards and we’re excited to have a world class jury review the projects and determine the winners. Plan to be a part of the special evening on October 17 when the AIASCV Design Awards are announced. This will be an evening to remember and might just inspire you for your next project.

Targeting LEED® Silver, the concept for this project focused strongly on sustainability –maximizing open space, natural daylight, and ventilation – while s a t i s f y i n g t h e p r o j e c t ’ s programmatic needs. A flagship project, it will be the first of many LEED certified buildings for the San Jose Evergreen Community College District.
Typically separate programs, Math and Arts are brought together in one complex. The Math building expresses the program’s conservative nature through a strongly linear form accentuated by shades of blue and grey in geometric and linear patterns. In contrast, the Arts building expressed its playful personality
through bold colors and irregular form, which follows the footprint left behind from a previously demolished building. It also features a “forest wall” consisting of repurposed redwood lumber that faces the main courtyard arranged in an irregular, yet rhythmic pattern. To take advantage of informal learning opportunities, writable interior wall surfaces and outdoor gathering spaces were provided throughout the buildings to encourage collaboration.
The Design-Build (D/B) team was selected for their cost-effective and responsive design. It was later delivered 6 months ahead of schedule via an alternative non-bridging D/B method – one of the first in California for the Community College sector. Goals were identified and the resulting solutions embodied.
Incorporate a variety of energy conservation and generation means. The design allowed for the immediate implementation of multiple green technologies,
while planning for additional green systems as the funding for them became available. Roofs were designed to provide opportunities for future photovoltaic (PV) installation. Instructional spaces have generous north-facing windows and light wells that provide both additional light and

opportunities for PV installation. A protective walkway shields the southern façade from the sun while providing maximum ventilation. The building is clad with a durable rain-screen system has an additional layer of air circulation and insulation value, which prolongs its lifespan. The Arts complex also features a “forest wall” consisting of repurposed redwood lumber that faces the main lawn area. This lumber was originally removed for security purposes and scheduled to go to the landfill.
The Math complex was made 3-stories high to minimize the
footprint, while the Arts complex followed the footprint of a demolished structure. This created a quad area that connected to the campus main promenade. Open spaces were also designed throughout to encourage informal, outdoor learning opportunities.

The design unites Mathematics and Arts by providing each with its own distinct building identity while sharing the outdoor lawn area.
By placing faculty offices in close proximity to each teaching station, the layout encourages student-teacher interaction and visually expresses teachers’ availability to help their students. Walls are also lined with writable surfaces that encourage collaboration.
To provide opportunities for community involvement and student enrichment through exposure to professionals, this project provides areas for hosting special events. The art gallery can host both student & professional art exhibits. The main courtyard area has raised zones that can be used as stages for events such as concerts. Such venues not only encourage community involvement, but also become revenue-generating opportunities for the campus.
Teamwork: As part of the Non-Bridging D/B method, the team had a highly integrative approach from the very beginning of the project. Architects, engineers, and D/B contractors worked closely with facilities staff, college leadership and faculty user groups to refine the program and prepare a schematic design with a guaranteed maximum price.

New Two-Story Classroom Building
Located on the San Jose City College campus, the Carmen Castellano Fine Arts Center includes several multi-disciplinary classrooms for fi ne arts and photography, laboratories for the visual and performing arts programs, sta! o" ces, student services, various site work and landscaping. Student-centered features of the inherently user-friendly structure include an exterior “art wall” that celebrates creativity, and writable-surface interior classroom walls that encourage spontaneous work and collaboration.
The project is designed to exceed - and is expected to qualify for -LEED Silver certifi cation. Some of the green elements designed into this environmentally sensitive project include a minimized building footprint, maximum use of open space, abundant daylight, a high-e" ciency HVAC system and building envelope, and a cool roof.
Blach and the architect worked closely with the District, consultants and sta! to collaborate and coordinate during each phase. As a result of Blach’s coordination e! orts, this project was delivered nearly six months ahead of schedule, with a large, unused portion of the project costs expected to be returned to the owner.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to serve as your Vice President over the past year. I have had the pleasure to work with a group of fantastic individuals on our Board, our new Executive Director and all the members of the Programs Committee. Another benefit: I spent time meeting with our corporate sponsors, discussing their expectations and identifying how we can serve each other better. Along with the Executive Director, I have even met with local government representatives to make our organization more visible and to voice our opinion on legislation that affects us. All these people have a passion for the profession and a drive to serve our local design community. The Programs Committee opened my eyes to the variety of interests the members have and how the Chapter constantly attempts to identify each and respond. I was also impressed, if not shocked, to see the hours members contribute serving on our committees and the commitment that it takes to pull off the caliber of events and programs our Chapter provides.
However, the work is not done. I am looking forward to the next year as your president. The Board has some real challenges ahead of it. Besides dealing with our own budget and the economy, we are experiencing a change in our practice. From simple issues as going digital and paperless offices to complex issues of identifying new funding sources, we must lead. We also need to take the opportunity we have in front of us to
mold development, our move to higher density and public transportation. Government has also changed and we need to lead the industry. Public funding has disappeared; and City Planning and Building departments are understaffed. With that, our Chapter should represent us in new processes that effect us and continue to expose our members to new markets, partnerships, technologies, funding and collaboration.
I believe it is important to continue to foster relationships with the other organizations that share our commitment and challenges. We need to continue our dedication to our own education and stay current by supporting the continuing education programs, project tours, code seminars, mentorship and support of our students. I also see us becoming more involved in the development of our local transit and public projects. Their infusion keeps us from getting too settled in our ways.
Stephen Sowa, AIA LEED AP BD + CPresident
Statement:I joined the AIA Santa Clara Valley in 2008 after becoming a California Licensed Architect in 2007, and have served on the Board as a Director since February 2011. I would be honored to receive your vote to continue to serve our AIASCV Chapter, in the role of Vice President / President-Elect for the 2013 term.
As architects, we have the tools, vision, and ability to change our communities for the better. As an organization, the AIA helps us meet each other, learn from each other, advocate for each other, and inspire each other. Our Chapter has a wonderful history contributing to all of the above. As your Vice President, I would be committed to continuing that vibrant tradition.

Ed Janke, AIASecretary
In my short time on the board, I have contributed to many diverse efforts of our Chapter. I founded our local component group of the Young Architects Forum, holding several successful events; I launched our AIASCV and AIASCV Emerging Professionals Facebook pages, to help spread word of our news and events to a larger public audience; I attended the 2012 AIA Grassroots Conference, speaking in support of important issues to our legislators; I have written several articles for our Tracings newsletter; and I assisted the COTE and Programs Committees in implementing the Pecha Kucha-style event at the San José Museum of Art.
Though I am still on the earlier side of my professional career, my energy and dedication to all our Chapter members, affiliates, and sponsors are sincere. My goal is to support all these groups through continued successful programs, professional
development support, and community advocacy. In this way, working together, I will help our Chapter maintain its valuable and active voice for our profession in the future.
Bio:I obtained a Masters degree in Architecture from UC Berkeley in 2002, and currently work at the San Jose office of Gensler as a Project Architect on corporate renovation projects in the Santa Clara Valley. I have also worked on local custom single-family home projects with Peterson Architects in Palo Alto, hospitality projects with SB Architects in San Francisco, and commercial and multi-family residential projects with Ko Architects in Palo Alto. I am a licensed architect, and a LEED Accredited Professional.
I am a native Californian and long time resident of the San Francisco Bay Area. After graduating from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, I continued my education at the University of Virginia and earned a Master of Architecture degree.
I am involved in civic and professional activities and served on the City of San Jose Historic Landmarks Commission for ten years, six years as Chair. As a past President of the San Jose North Rotary Club, I have been involved in many community projects. At West Valley College I taught for 16 years and am an emeritus professor of the architecture faculty. There I taught Graphics, Architectural History, and Design and Building Technology courses. In addition, I have been a guest critic at the School of Architecture at Cal Poly, the University of Virginia and the University of Maryland. In 1995, I served as President of the AIA Santa Clara Valley Chapter, and AIACC Treasurer the following two years.
Early in my career I worked as a designer with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, San Francisco, and Washington, DC, and Designer and Project Manager with Harry Weese and Associates. For the past 23
years I have been the Principal Architect of Janke and Associates, San Jose.
I am passionate about architecture and architectural education. Of particular interest is the intern and licensing process. I was the IDP Coordinator for the AIACC in the late 90’s and have been following the growth of IDP in California since. In addition to the usual duties as Secretary I would want to participate in Chapter licensing seminars, Scholarship Program and continue the liaison with West Valley College.
I would be pleased to serve as AIASCV Secretary.

BioBrigitte Williams is a designer, with experience in smaller and larger firms in this state and the Midwest. Born and raised in Switzerland, she came to the U.S. first as a college exchange student, and later moved here to study architecture, and stayed. She grew up in a Continental atmosphere that reveres and celebrates good architecture.
Brigitte spent her formative years in the St. Louis office of HOK and the Chicago office of SOM. In both firms, she was taught a keen sense of design accomplished through effective and collaborative teamwork. The project range and size also allowed her to acquire a thorough knowledge of the field and receive valuable mentorship at both firms. Her first steps towards becoming an architectural designer in her own right came during her employment in two mid-size firms in St. Louis. Many of her designs are built and have received awards. Her most prominent work includes the Gateway multimodal terminal in downtown St. Louis, the Sukkat Shalom synagogue, the conversion of four historic buildings into the 4-star Westin hotel, the Adams School and Community Center that helped revitalize a blighted downtown neighborhood, and an observation tower on the shores of the Mississippi river that marks the starting point of the Lewis and Clark expedition.Called back to HOK, Brigitte moved to San Francisco to work on the new headquarters for NOAA at Pearl
Harbor, which is currently under construction. After completion of design work for NOAA, Brigitte accepted her current position as Design Director at Steinberg Architects. Her local project work includes the design of two new facilities on the Bellarmine High School campus, a performing arts center at Evergreen Valley College, a student services building at Santa Clara University, and several other local projects that are currently under construction.
Brigitte also taught at her alma mater, Washington University in St. Louis, and at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. She has accompanied several student study programs to Greece and Turkey, where she discovered one of her biggest passions, the study of architecture in Greek and Roman antiquity.

BioDavid is currently a Senior Associate and Design Director at Hawley Peterson and Snyder Architects. He has been the design lead on numerous projects which have received SCAIA Design Awards, including the Grosser Residence, the XL Construction Headquarters, and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. David received his Masters of Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and his Bachelor of Art degree in Anthropology from Reed College. His current passions include restoring an Anshen and Allen tract home that he shares with his wife and four-year-old son. Serving on the board is an opportunity to give back to a profession which has enriched his life and given so much to him and his family.
Statement“Born and raised in Santa Clara, I’ve seen orchards transform into communities and high-tech campuses. We are now in one of the most diverse and innovative areas of the world. The quality of architectural life should be equally exciting and innovative.
Membership in the Chapter should expand, be diverse, and be an invigorating and rich experience. Likewise our community programs should continue to reinforce the qualitative value of thoughtful design. I’ve enjoyed working with Chapter members on the 2012 Design Award Program and I look forward to working with the entire membership so that architectural practitioners can make the most positive impact possible on our unique and beautiful region.”
David Regester, AIADirector
I am excited to submit my letter of interest in serving as a Director of the Chapter. I have been a Chapter member since 1985, including my three-year ‘sabbatical’ from California while working in Orlando, Florida in the mid-90’s. My participation in chapter activities and events over the years has included working on the Design Awards Committee, working on Tracings as an editor and contributing written content for the newsletter, and most recently, participating in the COTE Committee as Co-Chair
and Chair of the Committee. Firms within the Chapter that I have been associated with professionally include HPC Architects, McLellan & Copenhagen, and HMC Architects.
I currently am an ‘Architect-in-Waiting’ and as such have ample capacity to devote to the activities of the Chapter. As an underemployed architect, I can relate to the unfortunately large segment of our profession that is challenged by the economic retrenchment of our times. My professional experience as an architect has included responsibilities as a designer and AIASCV Design Awards recipient, as the technical leader of an office, and as responsible for marketing and growing a firm into a new market niche in higher education. As such I have an appreciation for all aspects of architectural practice. In addition my professional experience includes several years as a planner in both public agencies and in private practice as a consultant.
I look forward to this opportunity and to the ability to give back to a profession that has been so rewarding to me. I would like to help the profession to stay relevant in the face of its many challenges and I would like to mentor young professionals just getting started in their careers. Thank you for your attention.
