2015 Year in Review by AIA Cleveland

A Letter From the President What does the AIA do for me? For anyone actively involved in the AIA, this is a question often asked by our peers. This question is a difficult one to quantify, and one of the reasons why AIA Cleveland put this ‘Year-in-Review’ booklet together. It’s not necessarily the answer to this question, but begins to show what AIA Cleveland is doing and where the opportunities are for you to get involved.

The AIA is the voice of our profession and is critical to the mission of what each of us does in our individual circumstances and practices. It is the spine that supports and holds our profession together. As the day-to-day demands of architectural practice consume our time, and the AIA is far from mind, it’s still always there carrying out its mission. As our mission statement reads, “AIA Cleveland is a professional association that promotes the value of architecture and design, fosters collegiality, advocates for local members, educates, and supports architects as leaders in the community.” Performing these valuable services would be impressive enough, but the AIA is much more than that. For me personally, it’s my professional home where I find fellowship and inspiration. I’m an active member of the AIA, because I’m an architect that aspires to be a better architect, and therefore the AIA is where I belong. It’s so much more than just having those three important letters behind my name. It’s the place where I can learn from the people I respect and admire, through similar circumstances they encounter in everyday practice. It’s the arena where we come together, not as competitors, but as colleagues sharing a common language, values, and goals. Being an active member of the AIA makes me a better architect. Aaron Hill, AIA 2015 President, AIA Cleveland

So what does the AIA do for you? I believe that question can only be answered by not only being a member, but really by getting actively involved. As with anything in life, you get out of it what you put into it. One of the goals of our chapter this coming year is to increase member participation. AIA Cleveland offers a wide variety of programs and committees that allow you to voice and exercise your interests. If you are willing to become engaged, or especially lead, AIA Cleveland will support your efforts to make that happen. Encouraging and supporting active membership of the AIA within your own firm is a crucial mentoring role that benefits us all as an architectural community. Firms cannot always provide leadership opportunities early in employee careers, but within the AIA there are a plethora of such roles. These opportunities lead to more wellrounded professionals, as well as motivated and inspired employees—employees who believe they are part of the greater profession. It’s good for our firms and for the profession as a whole, that architects feel that they belong to something greater and that they, too, have a professional home. Serving on the AIA Cleveland board has been an honor and privilege which has given me back more than I put in. I encourage you to become active, to find your place among your peers and have a lot of fun doing it. It’s the only way you’ll know what the AIA can do for you. Get involved, meet people, make things happen – the things that matter to you.

Opening of the AIA Center for Architecture & Design

American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

It is with great enthusiasm that the Cleveland Chapter of the American Institute of Architects announces the official opening of the Center for Architecture and Design. The Center’s location, in the heart of Playhouse Square, will be a community resource for Cleveland design professionals as well as the public. The emphasis of the Center is not only to provide administrative and meeting space for AIA Cleveland as it continues to serve its members, but also to raise awareness on the value of architecture and design in our city and region. This opening marks the culmination of almost two year’s worth of work. The planning process began in the summer of 2013 with a seven-member Task Force taking a broad look at the Chapter’s long-range plans relative to its mission. That mission is to promote the value of architecture and design, foster collegiality, advocate for local members, educate, and support architects as leaders in the community. From there, the Task Force analyzed its home office of the past ten years on Huron Rd and whether it met the Chapter’s present and long-term needs. The Task Force concluded that a more resourceful facility was desired that allowed for greater flexibility and more visibility to the public. With this goal and the mission of the Chapter in mind, the Task Force, assisted by the pro bono services of relator Kevin Riley of Weber Wood Medinger, began to seek options available for a new facility. During the course of the search, the Task Force seriously considered eight different spaces, all centralized in the downtown area. While analyzing these options, it became clear that engaging our membership and the public from a storefront in the heart of Playhouse Square would be ideal in sending a message to our membership and the general

public. That message is that we are an active organization that is inclusive, an important part of the community, and growing the next generation of leadership in Cleveland. AIA Cleveland eventually found its ideal location at 2059 East 14th Street, directly adjacent to the entrance of the Hanna Theater. A 35’ wide storefront provides a window in on AIA Cleveland and the world of design for the community. At 1,100 square feet, it is 500 square feet smaller than the Chapter’s previous office space, but is more efficient in its layout which allows more space for events with less administrative and storage space. The more efficient size in turn creates an annual savings of approximately $5,000 for the Chapter. The space was fortunately an empty shell, which allowed AIA Cleveland to design it to best suit its needs. The design of the space was a collaboration between three firms who each generously volunteered their services: Richard Fleischman + Partners Architects as the Design Architect, Vocon as the Architect of Record, and Westlake Reed Leskosky performing all of the engineering. The construction cost of the build-out was rolled into the six-year lease. AIA Cleveland has an option to renew the lease for an additional five years beyond that. The layout of the new space is flexible and will be able to accommodate lectures, meetings, receptions, continuing education seminars and exhibits for up to 50 guests. While AIA Cleveland holds many events larger than this, that size was ideal for the majority of events that take place throughout the year. For larger events, AIA Cleveland partners with the Kent State University CUDC, utilizing their gallery space just a half-block away.

2015 | Year in Review

With this launch of a new space for AIA Cleveland, there is a renewed opportunity to become more outward focused, a hub for architecture and design in Cleveland which bridges the gap between architecture and the public.

“With this launch of a new space for AIA Cleveland, there is a renewed opportunity to become more outward focused, a hub for architecture and design in Cleveland which bridges the gap between architecture and the public.”

With that goal in mind, the decision was made to brand the space as the ‘AIA Cleveland Center for Architecture and Design’. Through lectures, exhibitions, tours, film series, and collaborative programs with other organizations, the Center will celebrate design, explore creative possibilities for the future of our region, and highlight the contributions of local architects and designers. The Center will bring together multiple design industries – architecture, interior design, graphic arts, landscape architecture, urban planning, and others to strengthen our positive impact in the business and civic communities. Agreements have already been reached to allow these other organizations to use the Center, such as the International Interior Design Association and school programs such as ‘Look Up To Cleveland’. The Center will exhibit design excellence and represent the talent and aspirations of AIA Cleveland members. A 72” digital display projected on the storefront glass will allow for both Chapter events as well as members work to be displayed to those passing through Playhouse Square. A gallery display system on the walls inside also allows for exhibits to be showcased, such as the one on display now which highlights the work of local female architects. Another important feature of the Center will be the AIA bookstore. The bookstore, which currently features approximately 750 various items related to architecture and design, had only appeared at the Chapters large events in the past. The bookstore having a permanent home in the Center will present a unique retail amenity for residents and visitors to Playhouse Square. The intention of the bookstore as it evolves will be to focus primarily on Cleveland related architecture, design and art. AIA Cleveland has applied for grants which would allow for it to stay open extended hours, on the evenings before shows at the Hanna Theater.

Interaction with Peers You build your career through relationships—AIA provides that network.

Joint Association Happy Hours The monthly Joint Association Happy Hours brought together the Cleveland chapters of 10 different design related organizations for evenings of mingling and networking as well as a chance to various new venues around Cleveland. With an average attendance of 50+, the Join Association Happy Hours included tours of local maker shops like Rustbelt Reclamation and recently opened hot spots like Barrio Downtown and the Azure Sun Lounge at The 9. Goodtime for Design Cruise On Friday, June 12th of this year, AIA Cleveland members along with members from 24 other professional design organizations throughout the region boarded the Goodtime III cruise ship for the 6th Annual “Goodtime for Design” Cruise. Although this year’s weather included overcast skies and some rain, over 350+ attendees still braved the weather and enjoyed themselves on the cruise! The Goodtime III cruise ship navigated down the Cuyahoga River for the first part of the tour and then headed out onto Lake Erie prior to docking at the East 9th Street Pier. After the cruise 200 guests continued the evening’s fun at the after-party held at the Music Box Supper Club located on the West Bank of the Flats. As always this event proved to be a terrific opportunity to network between members from multiple design organizations and to enjoy an evening of fun with colleagues. Mark your calendars as AIA Cleveland looks forward to your participation in the 7th annual “Goodtime for Design” Cruise which will be held in early June of 2016!

AIA/IIDA Annual Golf Outing It was another successful year for the AIA IIDA Annual Golf Outing. This was our 20th year anniversary with most of those years coming as a joint event between the AIA Cleveland Chapter and IIDA Ohio Kentucky Chapter. The event was held on Friday, August 7th at Sweetbriar Golf Club in Avon Lake, Ohio and the theme this year was 90’s Sitcoms. Golfing was enjoyed by 124 golfers on a beautiful and sunny summer day. After hacking up the course, attendees enjoyed a buffet style dinner outside and could partake in the Chinese raffle for donated items of all sorts from gift cards, to area rugs, to office task chairs. The “best dressed costume” this year went to a foursome of two men and two women dressed up as the Golden Girls. American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

To Further The Profession As a unified body, we create greater visibility for the profession Membership & Participation This year, AIA Cleveland began making firm visits, in which members f the AIA Cleveland executive board would bring lunch into a firm and lead a discussion focused on what AIA Cleveland is doing, and asking for feedback on what it could do better to serve itâ€™s members and community. 10 different firms were visited in 2015, with another 10 being planned for 2016. Mentorship Cleveland is pleased to inaugurate a Mentorship Program. The program is an outgrowth of discussions that began in March at a panel discussion for Womenâ€™s History month at the CUDC with over 100 attendees. A survey distributed at the program revealed a desire on the part of many to create a mentorship forum outside of direct work channels. The response to follow up inquiry about willingness to participate either as a mentor and/or mentee was outstanding, and the desire expressed was to provide a forum for advocacy for personal and professional development of an individual, without fear or favor or the constraints of a direct work supervisor. A forum in which women could seek and provide advice and counsel.

Community Outreach Speakers on the Square: Making CLE is an outdoor open panel discussion that immerses attendees in the topic of “Making” through the lens of Cleveland, Ohio. With a richly diverse panel of local Makers, the event will explore an assortment of industries/arts, and their design processes and toolkits. Spanning the fields of architecture, industrial design, place-making, and film-making, the panel will look to draw parallels to their trades and techniques, and furthermore reflect the impact, value and culture of Makers in Cleveland. The discussion will be moderated by Steve Rugare, Associate Professor at the Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative, whose primary research focuses on architecture and world’s fairs, the famous forum for invention. Panelists include: TEDxCLE Speaker (2015) and Cleveland Arts Prize Emerging Artist Winner (2014), Kasumi, who creates immersive media art experiences that explore the formation of memory and our collective consciousness. Owner of 44 Steel, and recent star on Spike TV’s Framework, Jason Radcliffe, a steel furniture designer from Cleveland’s Westside who has mobilized Cleveland’s F*SHO, a premiere showcase of Designers and Makers. Creative Placemaker, Emily Appelbaum, the new Program Director for Ingenuity Fest who has fueled large-scale public art in Cleveland through events such as Brite Winter Festival and Mini Maker Fair. Lastly, Michael Horton, co-creator of MAKER office, the Cleveland-based design studio known for its thought-provoking architecture which has contributed to the success of many Cleveland neighborhoods. Beach Day: AIA Cleveland held its annual summer festival that brought architecture and design firm personnel and their families together with the public to celebrate design and enjoy the beach! The AIA Cleveland Sand Castle build and Beach Volleyball Tournament took place at Edgewater Beach on Saturday, July 18th and featured teams populated by Cleveland architecture, engineering, and construction firms. The volleyball tournament was won by Perspectus Architecture and the People’s Choice Award in the showcase of sandcastles went to AECOM. All proceeds of the event benefited the ACE Cleveland Mentor Program. Beach Day raised $1,350 in scholarships to support students studying to become part of the design and construction industry. 2015 | Year in Review

What Should Our Chapter Be Most Involved In?

American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

Advocacy for Local Members The AIA provides one of the few arenas we have as architects to come together to heighten our value collectively, rather than compete. AIA Grassroots 2015 AIA Cleveland representatives Aaron Hill, AIA (President), Jack Bialosky, Jr., AIA (President-Elect), Ted Ferringer, Assoc. AIA (Ohio Valley Regional Associate Director) and Mary Helen Hammer (Executive Director), traveled to Washington, D.C. for the annual 2015 AIA Grassroots Leadership & Legislative Conference. This three-day conference emphasized component leadership and included dynamic workshops designed to help component officers become effective chapter and civic leaders. The agenda allowed us to exchange information and ideas with other AIA leaders from around the country, provide input on AIA initiatives and advocate the AIAâ€™s federal agenda to members of Congress and the Senate. This year, the AIA is asking the following of legislators: 1. Protect and enhance the historic preservation tax credit. Historic preservation incentives help communities expand and prosper, while preserving their heritage and creating jobs. The AIA and its allies will work to ensure that these incentives are not lost in tax reform. 2. Cosponsor the Safe Building Code Incentive Act, which encourages states to voluntarily adopt and enforce nationally recognized model building codes for residential and commercial structures in order to qualify for additional post-disaster FEMA grants. 3. Cosponsor the National Design Services Act, which extends to architecture graduates student debt relief in exchange for work in under-served communities.

2015 | Year in Review

Pro Bono and the Genius Loci For AIA, this year is intended to be “the year of the advocate”. The recent national “I Look Up” ad campaign has engendered comments, both positive and negative, about architecture and advocacy (for more information on the campaign, read AIA Cleveland President Aaron Hill’s recent article Why “Looking Up” Is Important). It is good that there are strong feelings about this, especially if you ascribe to the theory that any press is good press. But more importantly, the campaign has empowered dispersed dialogues to surface as one national conversation.

The AIA has declared 2015 as the Year of the Advocate. Every day, policymakers make decisions that affect the practice of architecture and the built environment. Advocacy must go far beyond our AIA leadership ascending on Capitol Hill on a single day in March. We must all be advocates, as decisions made from Washington to Columbus to your city hall affect you and the future of our profession. It’s up to all AIA members to make sure their voice is heard, which is what advocacy is all about.

American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

Personally, I believe that every year should be the year of the advocate for architects and architecture. As PresidentElect, and a fairly new comer (or late returner) to active duty in AIA Cleveland, I have been educating myself on the issues that our local members prioritize as the most relevant and important to our community. In response to our recent member survey, most of the respondents felt that one of AIA Cleveland’s most important roles was to advocate for local architects. Many architects feel they have lost power, voice and position as leaders of the built environment. Furthermore, Cleveland and Northeast Ohio have suffered for years from a low self-image which has fueled a desire for outside experts. Compounded by an economic downturn spanning half a decade, this triplewhammy has left some architects in our community feeling under-appreciated and unable to compete for important commissions in their own market. There have been past efforts at advocacy for local architects. The Design Forum of Cleveland was founded in 2006 as a multi-disciplinary organization with the goals of improving awareness of area design professional services, increasing the consumption of area design professional services, and enhancing and sustaining the professional careers within the local design community. The forum sought to educate area leaders on the quality of available services and the economic impact of the commissions going out of town. Unfortunately, the efforts foundered when confronted by the Cleveland malaise described above; Corporate cultures that inherently value the corporation over the community at large have failed to see

the connection and synergy that strengthens them both, while political authorities focused on feathering their own nests or occupied with surviving the times. Fast forward to 2015, Cleveland has been rightfully labeled as a “Comeback City”, as a new sense of optimism pervades our town. The City of Cleveland has new momentum and the economic cycle appears to be stable and in our favor. Downtown Cleveland, no longer a ghost town at night, is experiencing a resurgence of pride from its residents. Clevelanders are feeling better about the future of their city and architects in Northeast Ohio similarly seem to be doing a bit better than years past. AIA Cleveland has new energy and engaged members in all stages of their careers. We have schools of architecture nearby who are engaged in the community and turning out great students, many of whom are choosing to stay in Northeast Ohio. Now seems like a good time to start the conversation again about local advocacy, and to develop our own virtuous cycle.

place as a world-class, second tier city, it may take a long time to establish Cleveland architects in the appropriate place in the hearts and minds of our fellow Clevelanders. That’s no reason to stop trying. I recently learned about a Not For Profit group in San Francisco called Public Architecture http://www. publicarchitecture.org/, who propose that firms donate 1% of their firm hours towards pro bono work and track these efforts* . I started thinking about this and wondered what percent of effort Northeast Ohio architectural firms are already donating pro bono to charity, faith-based, community development, or public policy agencies. My guess is it exceeds 1% of firm hours- Let’s find out and demonstrate that we are the geniuses loci. Jack Alan Bialosky, Jr., AIA Cleveland President-Elect

To propel the local architectural and design community to the position of leadership and respect to which it aspires requires a concerted effort by the whole A&D community to work together in a collegial and non-self-serving manner; to strengthen and elevate the design culture of our internal community. If you want to be the best, play with the best; taking pride and ownership in our place calls for addressing challenges facing our community as thought-leaders of the issues we feel passionately about.

We become thought leaders by educating and pushing ourselves, by looking outside our own immediate surroundings, by learning from each other, and reaching out to the community at-large. I believe that local advocacy should not be the focus of our efforts, but rather the byproduct of how we lead our lives, demonstrate our creativity, navigate complex systems, solve problems, give back to and strengthen our own community. If I look around, I see that this is happening even now in many encouraging ways, although we have never been good at bringing attention to ourselves. Just as it has taken many years for Cleveland to begin to understand its

Women in Architecture & Design In honor of Women’s History Month, AIA Cleveland and the CUDC partnered to present Women in Architecture and Design. Over 100 participants attended the program last Wednesday evening, which featured a lecture on significant women architects in history, followed by an engaging panel discussion. The Keynote address was delivered by AIA Ohio Gold Medalist, Elizabeth Corbin Murphy, FAIA which focused on seminal women architects in the US including Julia Morgan, the architect of Hearst Castle, and Florence Kenyon Hayden Rector, the first female registered architect in Ohio, as well Elizabeth’s personal mentors. The panel discussion on women’s and leadership issues was moderated by Ms. Murphy and included prominent Cleveland women architects and business owners: Deb Donley, Jill Akins, former Cleveland AIA president Ann Dunning, and Sally Levine. The discussion was lively, at times humorous, and at times poignant and went on into the evening after the event formally ended.

With over 100 attendees, the event allowed for many clustered discussions that pushed the conversation of women in architecture & design forward. An accompanying exhibit on the work of local women architects and designers was shown through April at AIA Cleveland’s downtown office.

American Institute of Architects | Cleveland Chapter

Leadership Institute AIA Cleveland was one of five national venues for the first annual AIA Leadership Institute, a morning of local programming in Cleveland, Washington DC, Phoenix, San Antonio and Boston, followed by an afternoon of nationally broadcast inspirational keynote speakers. 56 leaders participated locally. Local programming included “Exploring Core Values and Leadership Behaviors Necessary for Success,” “It Takes a Village to Raise a Leader,” “The Tools of Leadership: Perspectives for Varied Applications,” and “Creating Your Personal Leadership Plan.” The future of the profession and our communities depend upon highly motivated leadership provided by creative and committed individuals prepared and inspired to lead. To this end, the seeds of leadership sewn in Cleveland through the Leadership Institute will grow the leaders we need. By producing the program, the AIA Center for Civic Leadership has offered the first steps towards inspiring and educating architects to encourage their taking on the mantle of leadership to design and build our desired future. With the “Living Your Life as a Leader” manual for leadership made available through the AIA, those interested in the pursuit of a pathway to leadership can have the support needed in the effort to become “Citizen Architects.”

Honor Awards

Westlake Reed Leskosky Gartner Auditorium Renovation | Cleveland, OH This renovation of Marcel Breuer’s auditorium wonderfully interprets the original architect’s material palette, improving the technical aspects of the space while remaining true to Breuer’s original vision. This is a highly technical project, but deftly executed with an awareness for those key aspects of the original design that made it special: light, volume and texture. The design team was smart about what to keep and what not to. The project is beautifully and clearly presented. The jury commends the project’s owner and design team for their commitment to the preservation and restoration of Breuer’s auditorium. Westlake Reed Leskosky Onondaga Lakeview Amphitheater | Syracuse, NY A visually stunning project, this design operates as a strong civic gathering space. The broad canopy of the amphitheater appears visually heavy and protective in sunlight and then changes to capture a visual lightness and airy nature at night. The use of a reclaimed industrial waste site is commendable and its proximity to the lake makes it even more appealing.

Merit Awards Architect: Process Creative Studios The Transformer Station | Cleveland, OH This elegant addition proves that big budgets arenâ€™t a prerequisite for good design. The massing of the addition is spot on, juxtaposing new masonry construction with the old. The addition sits like a loving younger brother to the original building. The revised entry sequence is well conceived and reinforces the rhythmic pattern of solid and void across the two cubes.

Westlake Reed Leskosky Event and Visitorsâ€™ Center | Midwest, US Although unbuilt, this proposal is conceptually strong, marrying site and program to yield a visually stunning formal response. The solution suggests spatial experiences and technical challenges that stretch the imagination while remaining believable. While beautifully presented in a way that intentionally falls short of photo-realism, the viewer is allowed to fill in the blanks.

Bialosky + Partners Architects The Midway | Cleveland, OH Well presented graphically, this proposal is a great idea, trading underutilized lanes of traffic and old trolley lines for dedicated bike lanes. Even if the numbers of cyclists fall short of predictions, the project would completely reinvent and transform the urban experience. Connecting neighborhoods with economics in mind, it is a strong, citizen-led and civic-minded project.

Richard Fleischman + Partners Architects Morgens Hall Renovation | Cincinnati, OH This is a transformative project. The key to the solution is the section detail, which dramatically opens the floor plate to spectacular views of the campus. The ceramic frit adds a layer of detail to the curtain wall, providing added shade and framing of view. The jury appreciated the visual strength of the new trellis. A strong, singular approach that is executed well.

Process Creative Studios The Heinenâ€™s Ameritrust Rotunda | Cleveland, OH This is a beautiful adaptive reuse project. The conversion of the grand rotunda to a grocery store is completely unexpected, but executed meticulously. The restoration is precise, while the modern interventions defer to the original architecture nicely. The typical grid of grocery store rows is abandoned in order to accommodate the rotunda, which enhances the social experience of shopping and dining. The design approach has clarity, never confusing what is historic and what is new. 2015 | Year in Review

The Browns desired an open and democratic work environment, transparent and filled with daylight, reflective of the new approach. They also desired a modern space, that while respectful of the history and tradition of the Cleveland Browns, forges a progressive identity for the team, via imagery, branding, materiality, contour, and color.

Perse Residence Denver Brooker, AIA

Perse Residence The Owner sought a home that would embrace the city and would balance the desire for a public face and a private retreat. The interplay of forms and materials balance the scale of the home with the context of the dense urban neighborhood. The interior balances the Owner’s desire for traditional “rooms” with flowing space. The interplay of forms evident from the outside translates into a layered experience within. The dialogue of public and private is felt in each space, with connections to the tranquil south garden and the vibrant city views to the north. Public, Private. Bold, tranquil. Open, closed. Industrial, refined. Smooth, textured. A dialogue explored, balance obtained. Robert J. Tomsich Pathology & Laboratory Medicine Institute at the Cleveland Clinic State of the Art, Open, Flexible, and Modern, these were the guiding principles for the design of the Robert J. Tomsich Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Institute at the Cleveland Clinic. Designed from the lab bench outward, the planning focused on creating the optimal work space for lab technicians. This focus set the modular proportions for the entire buildings design. The Institute’s glass-clad, three-story rectangular structure, featuring cantilevered upper floors and aluminum-screened mechanical penthouse evoke the modern aesthetic vision of the Cleveland Clinic. The facility provides state of the art pathology and laboratory testing and has a vital role in healthcare virtually touching every patient at the Cleveland Clinic and thousands of patients across the world.

Maker Series Tours MAKERS Series tours ran throughout 2015 and were made possible by the AIA Cleveland Associate Committee. Geared towards Associate Members and Young Architects, these tours exposed attendees to the history and processes of local Cleveland makers. 44 Steel Cleveland Furniture Maker, Jason Radcliffe of 44Steel, hosted a tour of his workshop inside Berrington Pumps & Systems, an industrial process equipment company in Avon owned by his family. The industrial beauty of the Rust-Belt, in conjunction with 18th- and early 19th-century Industrial Revolution-era machinery, has influenced the character and craft of Radcliffe’s stunning pieces. The tour exposed the journey that Ohio-sourced raw/discarded stainless steel, aluminum and wood takes in order to transform into iconic re-purposed furniture.

Equipped with a band saw, grinder and gas welder, Radcliffe demonstrated his methods and philosophy of building that balances both style and durability, and its particular importance in Cleveland’s economy/ industry. Through both unfinished and polished furniture pieces, attendees examined furniture, and its detailing, in various stages of completion. Radcliffe’s pieces have been on exhibit at ICFF, Cleveland’s F*SHO, and ABC in New York. Radcliffe currently stars in Spike TV’s Series, FRAMEWORK.

Rose Iron Works Bob Rose, third generation owner of Rose Iron Works, hosted a tour of the art-blacksmith-shop his renowned grandfather, Martin Rose, founded one hundred years ago. Mr. Rose told the story of his family immigrating to Cleveland, a pioneering city of metal-working and steelmaking, to establish the business. The tour illustrated the techniques and methods behind the Rose family’s exceptional quality architectural, ornamental and sculptural metalwork, which has set the high-standard for craftsmanship in blacksmithing. Serving as a guide to Rose Iron Work’s in-house gallery, Mr. Rose described the journey of raw materials take to become exceptional pieces, such as console tables, ornate mirrors, lamps and chandeliers, ranging in style from Art Deco to Contemporary. A number of these pieces have appeared in museum exhibits throughout the country and Canada, in prominent homes, institutions and collections, as well as in published references on metalwork. In addition to completed works featured in The Rose Iron Works gallery, unfinished pieces of all scales and the tools and equipment that Mr. Rose uses, also explained Rose Iron Works commitment and work in Preservation, specifically of its importance to Cleveland throughout the past century.

Four years ago, Peter transitioned from a career lawyer to fulltime woodworker. His shop, located within in the historic Hildebrant Building, opened to the public one year later as a community woodworking shop, hosting artisan studios, hobbyist resources, and public classes. At the heart of their mission is to enable design-thinking throughout life. The tour began with a portion of the introductory woodworking course, supplemented with and an examination of wood types, with a regional focus. Peter explained the impact of his trade with relationship to sustainability at both the micro scale, as it relates to Cleveland, and the macro scale, as a broader philosophy of responsible building. A tour of the woodworking shop and artisan studios exposed pieces in-progress, with the local artisans on-hand to share the design process, methods and concepts that go into these gallery pieces. Through both finished and unfinished objects, Peter spoke to the concepts of “Design/Build”, fine joinery, and woodworking machinery/tools. A live demonstration of the woodworking process illustrated to both novices and experts the possibilities for using wood as a medium for art, furniture and building construction.

Bondy Studio has worked on a wide range of domestic and foreign projects in both hand drawn and digital media. He is known for on location (charrette) drawings, working quickly and collaboratively with clients to produce evocative hand drawn sketches. He studied design, art, and architecture at the Harrington College of Design and finished his formal studies with four years of academic training at the School of Representational Art, Chicago. Bondy held a hands-on drawing workshop, held in two parts, to help AIA Cleveland members learn to draw with greater skill and confidence. They explored comparative drawing techniques (drawing what you see) and imaginative drawing skills (drawing from your ideas). The workshop focused on drawing with immediate coaching feedback as participants worked.

125th Anniversary The Cleveland Chapter of the American Institute of Architects was founded on October 11th, 1890, with 7 inaugural members. To Celebrate this important milestone, AIA Cleveland created a legacy project title the Cleveland Architects Project (CAP). The achievements of Cleveland architects have been extraordinary, and there has been a long and rich history of renowned architects passing through the offices of other legendary architects, along their journey in the profession.

CAP is an ongoing and evolving research project that illustrates the relationships among architects, their mentors and their proteges within the Cleveland area from the 19th through 21st centuries. The results of this research were compiled into a 125-year timeline along with a family-tree style diagram, which was revealed at the AIA Cleveland 125th Anniversary party November. Our goal is to continue to do research and build upon what we have started, turning the architects tree into an interactive and dynamic online document that can be utilized by architects, historians and students to learn more about our rich history. The anniversary was celebrated at the new Cleveland Institute of Art facility in University Circle on November 18th. Members of the chapter gathered to enjoy the 125year timeline exhibit, as well as a panel discussion on the chapters accomplishments throughout its history. A proclamation was presented to the chapter from Mayor Frank Jackson as well as Cleveland City Council.
