TEXAS SOCIETY OF ARCHITECTS | AIA70TH ANNUAL CONVENTION
PO REWThe word itself conjures up many different images, from a broad, universal perspec-
tive, down to the most personal, day-to-day level. We may traditionally think of it in
terms of authority and control, but a more fitting direction of thought for the TSA
Convention theme is in terms of the ability to act or produce an effect.
It was pure serendipity that the selection of Power coincided with Houston’s host-
ing of the TSA Convention, yet the two are intrinsically tied. The city’s development
from a small backwater settlement into a prosperous metropolis of international sig-
nificance took place within a relatively short period of 170 years. Its economic history
helps explain why Houston is the city of destiny. Until the turn of the century, Hous-
ton’s economy was largely based on agriculture and ranching, but in 1901, Spindle-
top and the discovery of oil completely overshadowed existing economic bases. The
development of this potent natural resource then became the most significant layer
of Houston’s economy. “Houston” and “Texas” became synonymous with “oil.” As oil
revolutionized social structures and priorities at home and abroad, it served to propel
the United States toward economic and political leadership in the world.
Two major events contributed to Houston’s economic advancement. The 1900 tidal
wave and hurricane that struck Galveston Island caused the deaths of thousands and
massive destruction. The aftermath served to revitalize efforts to set up Houston as a
major port. Money from Congress and the Texas Legislature’s establishment of the Port
of Houston Authority led to the opening of the then 25-foot deep ship channel in 1914.
The other event that worked to Houston’s favor was when the nation turned to
Houston for the oil and fuel needed for the World War I effort. By this time, the ex-
panded port was capable of handling vital overseas shipments. The first deepwater
vessel arrived in August, 1915, and the first refinery was set up along the ship chan-
nel in 1918. The growth of the automobile industry–the largest manufacturing indus-
try of all time–lead to increased demands for oil, and production capacity expanded
to fill the automobile’s insatiable maw.
The 1920s were an era of prosperity, however, the Great Depression of the 1930s
tried Houston’s economic strength. Although business activities declined through
the U.S., Houston’s economy was relatively stable. Not one bank failed. The 1940s
brought greater diversification in paper, cement and steel. World War II pushed the
city to great expansion becoming the center of the explosive development in the

petrochemical industry.
In the post-war period, the Texas Medical Center became a reality, elevating
Houston to international prominence in the field of medicine. NASA chose Houston
for its center and Houston became known as “Space City.” The 1960s saw a dramatic
increase in construction and the establishment in Houston of divisional and service
headquarters by some of the nation’s largest corporations.
Houston today is not only the oil capital of America, but it is also the world’s en-
ergy capital, with leaders in research and development shaping its future.
Using this impressive history as a backdrop, TSA offers an opportunity to think about
power: our collective ability as architects to impact our state; our individual knowledge
and skill sets that are unique and versatile; and our obligations to use what we know in
positive ways that move and energize others to action. That is the essence of power.
A Word from the PresidentWelcome to the 70th Annual TSA Convention and Design
Products & Ideas Expo. Power is the theme and given
Houston’s rich history, I cannot imagine a more appropri-
ate theme for a city synonymous with energy and energy
production that has also long served as an international
center for architecture. Houston’s skyline features iconic
office towers, venues for the performing and visual arts,
world-renowned medical facilities and university cen-
ters. Well-planned tours feature a wide selection of work
in the city as well as surrounding communities.
The convention provides incredible learning opportunities including general ses-
sions with keynote speakers Dr. Lowell Catlett and Dr. Scott Tinker. Selected seminars
and workshops offer practical solutions to the issues facing our profession, celebrate
creativity and innovation, and provide a chance to dialog with industry experts.
I hope that you will find time to meet with old friends and seek out new ones at
various special events such as the TAC Mixer, Emerging Professionals Gathering, the
university alumni receptions, and Presidents’ Gala. I especially look forward to seeing
you at Saturday’s PowerHouseParty at the House of Blues.
So, please join me as we experience the Power of Learning, Fellowship and Design
at TSA’s 70th anniversary gathering.

General Session: Global Energy–The Increasing Role of
ElectricityScott W. Tinker, Ph.D., Director, Bureau
of Economic Geology, Austin
The bridge from a fossil-energy pres-
ent to an alternate-energy future will
span many decades. As with the
building of any bridge, a solid founda-
tion is vital to move the world ahead in
a reasonably smooth fashion. Acceler-
ating an energy transition heedlessly
via poorly-informed policy could lead
to unintended energy and economic
instability. Successful bridge-building
recognizes the delicate interplay
among energy, the environment, the
economy, and public energy policy.
Energy diversity includes coal with
sequestration, expanded natural gas
and nuclear, and investments in other
alternate energy forms to bring them
up to scale over many decades. In-
creasing alternative energy sources
such as solar, wind, and biomass to
meet massive global demand is a
formidable, technology-dominated,
investment-heavy task, but a task
that can be accomplished with well-
considered energy policy.
Dr. Tinker will define the global energy
scene, dispel some of the media myths
associated with energy, and bring fo-
cus to the politics and policies affect-
ing the future of energy. Grounded by
17 years in the oil and gas industry pri-
or to coming to UT in 2000, he serves
as 2009 President of the American As-
sociation of Petroleum Geologists.

TSA is calling on Houston area architects to host students attending the 2009 TSA
Convention in their homes on Thursday and Friday nights (October 22 & 23) provid-
ing 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, and likely
make a friend for life.
Mentor a StudentTSA members have a unique opportunity to spend some convention time with
an architecture student. Student registrants will let TSA know if they wish to be
paired with a TSA architect or associate member at the convention.
Your commitment requires only a little time and a small amount of money (oth-
erwise interpreted as an investment in the future of the profession). Mentors will
spend a few hours on Friday (preferably in the Expo) helping the student under-
stand what convention offers and how to get the most from their convention ex-
perience, 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 unique opportunity to further introduce an architecture student to the
profession; they will gain something not found in campus life. Please help TSA
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.
Thank you in advance for stepping into this highly interactive and vital role. For more information, contact Suzette lipford at 512.478.7386 or [email protected].
