AIA College of Fellows Founded in 1952, the College of Fellows is composed of members of the Institute who are elevated to Fellowship by a jury of their peers. Fellowship is one of the highest honors the AIA can bestow upon a member. Elevation to Fellowship not only recognizes the achievement of the architect as an individual, but also elevates before the public and the profession those architects who have made significant contributions to architecture and to society. 2

CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE 2020 – A crisis for the profession
PHOTO BY PAT STEWART
“2020 has forced the College of Fellows, the AIA, the Profession, and all of us as citizens to reconsider public health, economic stability, climate change, and institutional racism together, with a renewed focus on diversity and inclusion.” Peter G. Kuttner, FAIA
I
n just a few short months 2020 has fundamentally shocked us all by revealing a series of crises provoking our society to finally become aware of the pervasiveness of systemic injustice. The College of Fellows and the AIA believe as architects we must acknowledge the scale and scope of this injustice around us, and support efforts for change.
minorities in general are disproportionately affected by the impact of climate change, access to health care, downturns in economy, and pervasive racism. We need to address this in our own firms, in the AIA, in the schools of architecture, and in our communities. The article “An End to Racism” talks more about efforts within the College, and ways to be involved.
Awakening to the Need for Societal Change In our first February issue this year, we emphasized the long overdue and pressing need to address climate change, and the activity around the AIA Climate Initiative. By the May issue, the coronavirus had taken hold, creating a new public health crisis and an economic meltdown for every element of society, including architects. Now, in the aftermath of George Floyd, the BLM movement, urban protests, and the deterioration of fundamental civil rights for underrepresented minorities, we are struck with how blind we have been to inequity around us everywhere.
2020 Business Meeting We were not able to hold the Annual COF Business meeting at A’20, which we are required to do and look forward to. With AIA holding the Annual AIA Business meeting beginning on September 1, 2020, we are planning to hold the College online on October 1, 2020. The article “Look Forward To Seeing You On October 1st” has more detail on the event and a link to register. This is an opportunity for Fellows who might not ordinarily be able to attend to join online via Zoom.
It is clear now that all the issues we face today are related. Climate, health, employment, and inclusion must be addressed. Black Americans and most

The article at the center of this issue introduces you to Jeanne Jackson, FAIA, our Regional Director Chair and the 35 Representatives, provides contact information, and explains some of their activities and their support of the College. This is an opportunity for all the Fellows to get in touch with their Representatives. Call for Nominations – COF Secretary Later in this issue you will find 2021 Vice-Chancellor Roger Schluntz, FAIA’s call for nominations for the position of College of Fellows Secretary, due next February 5, to serve on the 2022 Executive Committee for a four-year term. We urge you to submit for this important leadership position in the College, as we deal with the long-term implications of all the issues we are discussing today. This position would lead to becoming the 2025 Chancellor of the College.
Young Architects Award The Young Architects Award jury has been assembled; and we will continue that important award recognizing and rewarding an ever expanding range of Emerging Professionals. The jury composition has been revised to include the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor, two people from the College in general, and two from YAF, to assure we are more representative in terms of gender, ethnicity, and age.
Heritage Society of the AIA College of Fellows Fundraising for the AIA College of Fellows Fund, to continue our programs supporting research and mentoring, is still a high priority. You will see that the COF ExCom has established a new “Heritage Society of the AIA College of Fellows” to formally recognize those individuals who have demonstrated a life-long commitment to the College of Fellows with a revocable estate bequest. Please review the Latrobe Prize program and consider College of Fellows in your The 2019 Latrobe, awarded to Drexel University and estate planning philanthropy.

YAF UPDATE From the COF Executive Committee
Mentoring When It Really Matters by Secretary Frances Halsband, FAIA
One of my responsibilities as a member of the
Executive Committee is staying in touch with the Young Architects Forum (YAF), a group in AIA for those who have been licensed for less than ten years. Emerging Professionals (EP), a broader category, embraces Associate members, those at the beginning of the licensing journey. Many of the local AIA components have active YAF and EP groups. This year, as economic uncertainty looms, and human rights come to the forefront of discussion, YAF is especially tuned to the need for mentorship. The College of Fellows lists mentorship as a principal goal. How can we bring these two groups together in productive discussion? YAF/EP groups have created dozens of inventive, fun, educational mentorship programs around the country. YAF has a system of YARDS (apologies for more acronyms!). They are Young Architects Regional Directors. College of Fellows Regional Representatives, celebrated elsewhere in this newsletter, are perfectly situated to foster connections, RR/YARD. Each COF Regional Representative is in touch with about one hundred Fellows in their area. As far as I can tell, Fellows are not characterized by shyness, introversion, or
avoidance of difficulty. Now that you have read this far, I’d like to suggest that you think about connecting with a young architects group. Your RR can facilitate that connection or you can get in touch directly with your local component. Here are a few of the programs around the country: In Michigan, NOMA Project Pipeline encourages more diverse groups to enter the profession. In New York City, Torch offers panel presentations and small group discussions with Fellows on a variety of topics. Transitions, Food for Thought, Vision, Talk to a Fellow, and Archway are the catchy titles for programs in the Ohio Valley. Mentoring programs in California components have their own websites describing activities. Archilamp, and Leadership Academy are offered in South Carolina, and Virginia has organized 360 Mentoring. Finally, if you are anywhere near Orlando, be sure to look into Drink and Draw. Come to think of it, that works online too.
Share the wealth of your own experience! YAF welcomes your help. Please do reach out to your COF Regional Rep or local chapter. 7
ANNOUNCEMENTS COF Executive Committee Meetings

Governance In The Pandemic by Chancellor Peter Kuttner, FAIA
Those Fellows who are familiar with the COF
Executive Committee, or who have followed this COF Newsletter, know that we meet at least five times a year. We gather at Grassroots, the national conference, and at Governance Week in December. We also try to meet in the spring and in the fall in different cities across the country, where we can meet the Fellows in that area. This year we had planned to go to Boulder, Colorado, in the spring and Charleston, South Carolina, in the fall, to meet with Fellows from the Western Mountain Region, and the South Atlantic Region, until the pandemic caught up with us after Grassroots. Like much of the rest of the world, the COF ExCom moved immediately online. We meet in Zoom, and have adapted our meeting format. Where we used to spend two days in a meeting room, we have changed to two-hour weekly meetings staged over several 8
weeks. In the Spring we had five weeks of meetings, which allowed us to gather information we needed for subsequent sessions and adapt our discussion to the changing calendar and the virus. While we missed seeing each other in person, we appreciated this new level of efficiency. We met for our most recent summer meeting several times in July and August and have kept all our programs moving forward. Specifically, we just awarded the latest round of Emerging Professional Component Grants, developed the COF Heritage Society for estate donations to the COF Fund, and have begun new mentoring outreach with YAF. We also had our first Zoom meeting with the COF Regional Representatives. We are moving the College forward, though we still long for the collaboration of face-to-face.
ANNOUNCEMENT Supporting Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in the Architectural Profession
Above: AF - Diversity Advancement Scholarship This multiyear scholarship supports high school and undergraduate minority students who are entering, enrolled in, or transferring into a NAAB-accredited undergraduate architecture program. Scholarships may be renewed every year until your degree is completed, for up to 5 years ($20,000 total award). Applications for the 2021 awards will open in the fall of 2020. Learn More
An End to Racism
by Chancellor Peter Kuttner, FAIA
Most recently in early June the COF Executive
Committee expressed our support for the movement to combat racism, with posts on the COF Facebook
site and on the AIA KnowledgeNet discussion thread on the COF page. The statement reads:
"The AIA College of Fellows endorses the American Institute of Architects and the National Organization of Minority Architects in their call to condemn racism and take an active role in eliminating the racial biases in the profession and society at large. We too support the protests to stop systemic, statesanctioned violence against Black Americans, and are committed to efforts to ensure that our College is part of the solution to dismantle racial injustice, and to increase diversity and equity in our own profession." 9
The statement was posted in the “Taking a Stand“ thread, in response to the AIA and NOMA position statements and Rosa Sheng, FAIA’s call to share positions publicly. Our post ended with the plea “Now we welcome suggestions on how we might best turn resolution into actions we can take together.” College of Fellows Ongoing Programs There are many programs in place in the AIA and the College of Fellows that have the potential to be directed in ways that are more inclusive and promote diversity. We believe that each part of the Institute is uniquely positioned to contribute to a more just society in its own way. A primary goal of the College of Fellows has been supporting Emerging Professionals in multiple ways. We meet regularly with the Young Architects Forum (YAF) officers and collaborate in the YAF Mentoring Program. Financially, we fund the Young Architects Award stipends, sponsor the Leadership Institute, and award critical EP Component Grants for local chapter programs that support young architects. A parallel goal is supporting research and scholarly work. We define, fund, jury, and offer guidance for the prestigious Latrobe Prize and its researchers, and we join the AIA in the Upjohn Research Grant program. For both young professionals and for the research initiatives, we can and will focus our calls for people and grants to promote and reinforce equity in the profession. Donations can be made to the The College Fund on the front page of our web site. A Public Statement in the New York Times Those Fellows familiar with the COF KnowledgeNet discussion thread will know that In July, Jan Wampler, FAIA, a Professor of Architecture at MIT, began an online discussion among individual COF members suggesting that they buy a one-page ad in the New York Times to
10
support “Black Lives Matter” that will include the names of all supporters. The idea has captured the imagination of many, with more than 260 Fellows already pledging. An ad costs $85,000, and they are halfway to their goal of 500 names. Now, large numbers are reaching out to individual chapters to spread the idea and open the ad to more than just Fellows. Members wishing to contribute can contact Jan Wampler, FAIA with their pledge, or jump in on the discussion thread.
Scholarships for Diversity The discussion thread has some contributors pushing back on the idea of a symbolic gesture like the ad, arguing that using that same money for scholarships or other kinds of support for students and minority graduates would have more impact. Several have suggested new scholarships being offered by the Institute, the College, or by local Components, or specific outreach to HBCU’s. There is growing consensus that the best idea is try and do more, finances permitting. However, scholarship programs require staffing, an endowment, and announcements, reviews, juries, and follow-up over time. Rather than reinvent programs, the AIA has strong scholarship programs in place. Carole Wedge, FAIA and Jeff Potter, FAIA have pointed out that through the Architect’s Foundation (AF), we already administer the Diversity Advancement Scholarship program specifically for minority students, along with other scholarships offered. Please visit the AF website and learn more about their programs and how to donate, or talk to Marci Reed, Executive Director, about their work.
NOMA and Project Pipeline Others have mentioned outreach programs NOMA chapters run across the country such as Project Pipeline - a terrific program to help young students develop design skills and tools. Project Pipeline has served more than 10,000 students over the last decade. Check out the site and reach out in your region to local NOMA chapters to see how you can support their efforts.
Inspire Architecture K-12 Group The Inspire Architecture K-12 Group, active in 18 states, is another AIA group to support. The Group has been encouraging K-12 architecture and design education in disadvantaged communities since its founding seven years ago. Led by Fellows Raymond Beeler, FAIA (Chair), Greg Burke, FAIA, Polly Carpenter, FAIA, Melody Harclerode, FAIA, Jud Kline, FAIA, (Chair), and Gary Vance, FAIA, they currently run twelve AIA K-12 programs, mostly in urban minority neighborhoods. Their goal is to have these programs in every chapter across the country and Fellows should be at the forefront.
Large Firm Round Table Finally, we have been impressed with the Large Firm Round Table (LFRT), which has formed the Justice & Equity = Diversity & Inclusion (JE=DI) group. Chaired by Fellows Tim Dufault, FAIA and Tony Rohr, FAIA. Their goal is to specifically expand the number of licensed black architects and architects of color in general to more than double by 2030.
They have established close relationships with the seven accredited HBCU architecture programs, and have committed time and money in support of emergency student aid. They formed a strategic partnership to fund the NOMA Fellows program. LFRT is providing the Architects Foundation with a grant to support the ARE offset grant program, specifically aimed at young Black professionals. Their HR subcommittee is working on anti-racism language for all firms to adopt in hiring, promotion, and development. Next they hope to look at training and other resources we can bring to the member firms to expand the capacity and understanding of what a just and equitable workplace looks like.
Maintaining Purpose We are sure there are more programs and committees across the AIA that are exploring options to best address inequity and racial bias. This will be a long and difficult path forward but these are good places to start. Consider donating to the College Fund, the Statement, and the Architects Foundation to begin this journey, as well as volunteering your time as a mentor.
Below: NOMA - Project Pipeline Our mission is to empower young people to affect change in their community through design. Using the city as the classroom and connecting young people to real-world architects and planners, we foster the next generation of design professionals, civic leaders, and changemakers. We advocate for increased inclusiveness, diversity, fellowship, equity, and excellence in design. Learn More

ANNOUNCEMENTS College of Fellows 2020 Virtual Business Meeting 3.
Above: 2019 Business Meeting in Las Vegas
Look Forward To Seeing You On October 1st by Chancellor Peter Kuttner, FAIA
Traditionally, the AIA College of Fellows has held
our annual Business Meeting with a lunch on a Saturday during the national AIA Conference. This year at A’20 in late spring it would have been held in person at the Millennium Biltmore in Los Angeles, but was sadly cancelled due to the pandemic. That said, the College of Fellows is now excited to announce that this year’s annual Business Meeting will be a virtual event that will be held on October 1st at 1pm-3pm EST. We usually gather with 60 – 100 Fellows attending the Conference. Each year it is an opportunity for new and current Fellows to connect, get an update on the activities of the College, and review the financial condition of our COF Fund. As part of the formal meeting, Secretary Frances Halsband will review the minutes of the 2019 Business Meeting, Bursar, Roger Schluntz, FAIA will report on the COF Fund, and Vice-Chancellor 14
John Castellana will present the slate for those Fellows present to elect the College of Fellows Executive Committee, including our new Bursar for 2021. Further, we will update members on the status of the current Latrobe Prize, and present the Leslie N. Boney Spirit of Fellowship Award. While we won’t be meeting in person this year it is a terrific chance for more Fellows, who can’t regularly get to an AIA Conference, to participate in our Business Meeting. We look forward to seeing you on October 1st. Please register here.

John Paul Eberhard, FAIA Enigmatic Visionary / AIA Latrobe Legacy by Roger L. Schluntz, FAIA
"In 2003, at the AIA Convention in San Diego, the Latrobe Fellowship was awarded under the leadership of Chancellor Sylvester Damianos, FAIA. The recipient was John P. Eberhard, FAIA, founding president of the Academy of Neurosciences for Architecture (ANFA), in collaboration with the New School of Architecture in San Diego. …The Investiture was held in the renowned courtyard of the Salk Institute, designed by Louis Kahn. Dr. Jonas Salk was a former AIA Public Board Member and leader in the exploration of architecture and human creativity. Trumpeters during the processional of the 61 Fellows invested and the release of white doves over the Pacific Ocean celebrated Salk’s vision." -excerpt, p 55; “History of the College of Fellows” 18

It was during his role and leadership as the President of The American Institute of Architects Research Corporation (AIA/RC), an industry leader spearheading research on energy conservation, when John Eberhard was advanced to Fellowship in the AIA. As we are all duly instructed at the occasion of investiture, John did not view this noteworthy recognition as the culmination of a remarkable career, but simply another milepost along “the road less traveled.” Fifty years of age, John was now well along with his fifth or sixth career. Eberhard did not have comparable interests or similar aspirations of most architects; his work and pursuits suggested that his brain must have been wired differently from the beginning. As recently recounted by Gordon Chong, FAIA, 2002 National AIA President, following John’s passing - “John Paul Eberhard was an enigma… never thinking about what the rest of us were thinking, engaged in a vocabulary new to most of us, and always where none of us were - nor would be without his insistence and prodding …Always searching, always thinking, always exploring - maverick, visionary, bold. At about 75 years of age, he announced his interest in Neuroscience and Architecture. I thought…. really?”
Formative Years John Paul Eberhard, or simply JPE to many, was born in Chicago in 1927, the son of a Protestant clergyman and the oldest of seven children. During World War II Eberhard was drafted into the U.S. Marines and served until 1949 as a midshipman with the U.S. Naval Reserves. With the GI Bill he then was able to attend the University of Illinois where he was to meet Lois, his future and life-long wife; and receive his degree in architecture in 1952. With entrepreneurial zest and several college classmates, John soon founded Creative Buildings, Inc. Described by others “as the definition of unconventional and innovative,” John received a patent for the design of “a prefabricated chapel that could be disassembled and moved if a congregation moved.” A year later John had established a partnership in the architectural firm, Eberhard & Murphy, in Urbana, Illinois. John was quoted as saying that he had “designed 100 churches by the time he was 30 - and then was done with conventional architecture.” A New Direction John shortly enrolled at MIT, not. to study architecture but as a Sloan Fellow and graduated in 1959 with a 19
MS degree in Industrial Management. From there he was quickly hired by Sheraton Hotels Corporation to be the company’s Director of Research, with a focus in the development of emerging data technologies as information handling tools. Four years later John emerged in Washington DC with JFK’s new assistant Secretary of Commerce, with the charge of helping the reorganization of the National Bureau of Standards (NBS). John was soon to become the Deputy Director of the newly established Institute for Applied Technology at the NBS, and subsequently its Director. Onward –into, and out of, the Academy Leaving the NBS in 1968, Eberhard became the inaugural dean of the new School of Architecture & Environmental Design at the State University of New York at Buffalo. With a select cadre of like-minded colleagues his vision was to “develop a researchbased master’s program in architecture.” Departing from the traditional design focus of other schools the degree program would forgo many of the program requirements necessary to receive NAAB accreditation. Current SUNY-Buffalo Dean Robert Shibley, FAIA, recalls that John “understood that the challenge before the profession was not to design better buildings but to redesign the entire process by which society planned, designed, and delivered the built environment.” Robert continues, “He inspired a cadre of experimental thinkers – a self-described 'band of renegades' in both faculty and students – that would carry his mission forward and shape the landscape of practice, teaching, and research in our profession. We remember John for instilling an ethos of inquiry and innovation in service to the common good that is still alive and well.” Five years later, In 1973 John assumed the role of President of the newly created AIA Research
20
Corporation. This entity was intended to provide research opportunities for architects in areas requiring complex problem solving. One major imperative for the AIA/RC: center the profession on making buildings more energy efficient. With an initial $50K grant from the Ford Foundation and a multitude of Federal contracts, by 1978 John had built the AIA/RC into a $10M organization employing over 60 staff - this during the major global and national energy crisis marking that decade. The first employment in her distinguished career trajectory, Vivian Loftness, FAIA, acclaimed professor at Carnegie Mellon University, remembers her trepidation coming to work for the AIA/RC. “Eberhard was the creative energy behind the AIA/RC. …He went from federal agency to federal agency to convince them that architects needed to be central to research in the built environment - building bridges to HUD, DOE, DOD, as well as other federal agencies and industry. He created a research powerhouse in the AIA, raising millions, and engaging architects all across the country with a relatively small team of in-house researchers – many who went on to leadership careers.” Vivian looks back on John as “an architectural research, education and practice visionary.” My initial encounter and working relationship with John also happened, coincidentally, while both of us were at AIA National Headquarters in Washington DC – my role as the Executive Director of ACSA at that time. John’s substantial funding resources from the US DOE led to a series of summer academies, held at Harvard and MIT, for a select group of architecture faculty. The objective for these “energy and design” institutes was to assist leading academicians with educating the next generation of architects. The AIA/ RC point person assigned to this multi-year project was a talented, then very young, Thomas Vonier - later to become the 2016 President of the AIA and today

serving as the President of the International Union of Architects (UIA) based in Paris. Tom remembers John as “…an extraordinary figure with strong oratorical powers who knew the power of ideas and the value of persistence. He was very generous to young people

and touched many lives, including mine.” A New Beginning (again!) With the folding of the AIA/RC in 1981, a questionable decision by the Board of Directors of the AIIA, John’s next career move witnessed his (ideally suited) role as the executive director of the Building Research Advisory Board (BRAB), an agency within the armature of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Revisioning the BARB, John was able to convene multidisciplinary leaders to consider the role of architecture related to a variety of topics and problems. These committees, comprised of experts in their respective fields, were charged with developing federal policies on the built environment - addressing various and specific ‘questions posed by Congress.’ These inquiries ranged from parameters of high performance buildings to security measures for the “US Embassy of the Future,” -one that would be resistant to terrorist attacks. The
It was my privilege to again engage with John at the BRAB, now as a consultant in helping organize and facilitate a congressionally mandated study that asked the NAS to provide strategies that would “improve the design quality of Federal Buildings.” [I learned very quickly from John that, in this context, ‘design’ had absolutely nothing to do with the aesthetic aspirations of either architects or the public.] John planned to retire in 1988 when the academy again beckoned and lured him north, this time to Pittsburgh to head the Department of Architecture at Carnegie Mellon University, by now his 7th or 8th career. According to Prof. Loftness, “John’s keen interest in research seem well suited in supporting several of his faculty colleagues and a number of future academics, strengthening the faculty and curriculum to more fully integrate design and innovation towards improving the performance of the built environment.” He remained with Carnegie Mellon until his retirement in 1994.

And back again to Washington D.C. Now sixty-seven and with his return to our Nation’s Capital, Eberhard’s next career transpired with the American Architectural Foundation (AAF), a notfor-profit affiliate of the AIA at the time. Norman Koonce, FAIA, then serving as the President of the Foundation and with a nudge from Syl Damianos, FAIA, the former President of the AIA, was able to lure John out of retirement and persuade him to bring his talent to the AAF. In this new part-time capacity John, with decades of research and management directed toward achieving enhanced building and practice, was given the title “Director of Discovery.” Diverging from his previous positions of responsibility, John’s initial assignment: “Determine how the power of design could evoke a broader public understanding and appreciation of Architecture.” Enter the Latrobe Prize: Jonas Salk on Architecture Jonas Salk, founder of the Salk institute, had related his personal experiences in trying to find a cure for polio 22
in the 1950s. “Stuck intellectually,” Salk had retreated for several weeks to the Abbey at Assisi in Italy. Salk credited this architectural setting with providing the essential stimulation to his imagination and critical thinking such that he was able to create the concept for the Salk vaccine as well as the technique necessary to produce it. Believing that the human brain reacted continuously to the man-built environment, Dr. Salk proposed that the AAF consider a research effort to better understand how architectural settings influence human experience. Eberhard had long been intrigued with how the human brain worked to explain his own architectural experiences. With a history of asking hard questions and seeking answers with well-constructed hypotheses and in keeping with the broader mission of the AAF, Dr. Salk’s assertion rekindled John’s protracted intrigue with the mystery of how the physical environment was able to engender emotional responses within himself. During a visit with Salk’s colleagues at the Salk Institute
and with scientists at the nearby Neuroscience Institute in La Jolla, John was sufficiently inspired to mount his own study of the language of neuroscience. “It was clear to me then that I needed to spend the rest of my life learning as much as possible about this rapidly expanding field of knowledge.” This thoughtful introspection provided a springboard for John’s subsequent and successful proposal for the Latrobe Fellowship. Several of the scientists that John had met in San Diego shared his long fascination with how the brain functioned and its capacity to construct architectural judgments. These many discussions, formal and informal, would provide the impetus for the creation of the Academy of Neurosciences for Architecture (ANFA). The parallel Latrobe proposal was now beginning to crystallize!
“Although most of John’s time was spent meeting new people, sometimes to my delight he stayed put and we discussed our ideas about experiments that could connect our two disciplines, buildings and brains. In return I asked John to teach a seminar for UCSD undergrads with me, the first of a series of Brains & Buildings seminars that I continued years later in collaborations with Eve Edelstein and Gil Cooke at the NewSchool of Architecture. It was a selfish request: I learned as much as any of the students from JPE’s broad knowledge of and infectious enthusiasm for the nexus of neuroscience and architecture. JPE was a thinker and builder, the ‘Johnny Appleseed’ of Neuroscience for Architecture.”
Salk Institute scientist Rusty Gage, PhD, remembers when John came to visit his lab. “He wanted to talk to me about a paper we published in 1998 on the effects of environmental enrichment on adult neurogenesis in the brain. John convinced me that there was a link between architecture and neuroscience. Eventually we came up with this simple proposition - the built environment can alter the structure and function of the brains of individuals who experience homes, schools, businesses, churches and hospitals.” Eduardo Macagno, PhD; Professor at UC-San Diego, also recalls meeting JPE in La Jolla in 2003, “-when Rusty Gage introduced JBE as someone with an unusual but fascinating interest: the application of neuroscience in human-centered design. “When we met for coffee, John asked to spend time talking with neuroscientists at UCSD and other institutions in the neighborhood, so I invited him to be a visiting scholar in my UCSD lab, with an office next to mine, and access to the Internet and the library. .
23
With the awarding of the 2003 Latrobe Prize, John was subsequently establish working relationships with faculty at several architecture schools - as John, described it, to “explore ways to understand how the human brain responds to the various attributes of architecture.” Emeritus Prof. Chiu S. Chan, PhD, another collaborator of John’s over three years at Iowa State University, describes one facet of their shared academic inquiry, "John's great insight was that neuroscience is used to explore the hardware of the brain, where virtual reality is used to explore the software of the mind. The psychology of design cognition sits at the intersection of the two." Further evidence of the breadth of stimulus generated by the initial Latrobe effort is found, for example, with the AIA Academy of Architecture for Justice (AAJ). “It is because of John that the AAJ began and continues to include neuroscience in its research program,” notes former AAJ Chair Melissa Farling, FAIA. “Workshops on correctional facility design and courthouse design 24
combined neuroscientists, architects, environmental psychologists, jail and prison administrators, court administrators and judges for the first time. Further research came out of these workshops, and more is planned. John understood the impacts of the potential research on ethics and human rights in the design of detention and correctional facilities. He continues to influence justice architects – making us more accountable for the human dimensions in design.” An exemplar of interdisciplinary thinking, John became a member of the 35,000 member Society for Neuroscience in 2005; the only person architecturally trained or educated. Steven Henriksen, PhD, one of the scientists with whom John partnered, remarked that “John was like a neuroscientist….no B.S….’show me the data’. What a dear and thoughtful soul, who taught both we as “neuroscientists” and architects the value of introspection, vision, collaboration and humility!” John’s Latrobe research also included the basis for two books he authored: Architecture and the Brain: A New Knowledge Base from Neuroscience (2007) and
Brain Landscape: The Coexistence of Neuroscience and Architecture (2008). Finally, Retirement! (Well no-not really...) Eberhard once again ‘retired’ in 2008, and with his wife Lois relocated to a retirement community in suburban Maryland. Then in his eighties and continuing the research focus first advanced and underpinned with his Latrobe Prize, John had one additional career stop remaining. In 2010 he joined the Johns Hopkins University Medical School as a consultant to its Brain Science Institute. In this capacity John continued his desire to engage a new generation of researchers who shared his passion for advancing the practice of architecture through the translation of scientific discovery.
As noted in the last COF Newsletter in May of this year John Paul Eberhard, FAIA, at the age of 93, passed away from medical complications related, in part, to the coronavirus. Two years earlier the ANFA established the John Paul Eberhard Fellowship, an endowment underscoring his pioneering and interdisciplinary contributions in the unique advancement of these two professions. The initial Latrobe Fellowship was awarded in 2001. Since then the biannual grant, primarily derived from earnings of the COF Fund, has been conferred upon ten recipients. Because of the uncompromising situation presented by COVID-19, the COF ExCom decided to delay for one year the Latrobe ‘call for proposals’ that would normally be issued this fall. – Ed.

Feature - The Climate Interview Series
Towards a Sustainable Practice: an interview with Kate Bubriski, AIA by Gabriela Baierle, AIA 26
K
ate Bubriski, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, Fitwel
Ambassador, is the Director of Sustainability and Building Performance at Arrowstreet in Boston. She brings two decades of experience working to ensure the built environment simultaneously creates social, health, environmental, and economic benefits. Through her expertise in net zero, embodied carbon, integrated design, materials evaluation, and occupant engagement, she advises teams and leads the firm’s work towards meeting the AIA 2030 Commitment. Kate currently serves on the AIA Design & Health Leadership Group and Boston Society for Architecture Membership Committee, as well as, participates on several local committees. She has also shared her expertise as a featured speaker at Greenbuild, Getting to Zero National Forum, New Buildings Institute, Boston College, Boston Society for Architecture, and Built Environment Plus. Gabriela Baierla (GB): What influenced you to become an avid advocate for climate resiliency and sustainable building performance? Kate Bubriski (KB): My interest was first fostered in college. I attended Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where sustainability was embedded in the curriculum. After I began working in the industry, I was surprised to find that sustainability was not commonplace in design practice. This motivated me to actively change that condition. Looking back, I also realize that it was my eco origin story, growing up in diverse environments from the Maine woods to the Hudson River Valley to New York City, that has shaped my work towards creating health and equity through the built environment.
GB: Tell us some of the ways that you mentor emerging professionals at Arrowstreet (and beyond) to become stewards of the environment in the future. KB: First, I ask what someone is passionate about. I suggest that they seek out organizations and attend networking events to ascertain what direction and focus they want their career to take to support this passion. It's important to have a plan but be open to changes along the way. I encourage mentees to take initiative and start acting on one thing right now. Educating oneself about the topics and areas of interest is key - this is especially true in sustainability, where information, technology, and techniques are all constantly emerging and improving. GB: How can the College of Fellows contribute to the AIA’s Climate Action Initiative? KB: I think a key component to the success of mitigating climate change and creating a more equitable world is to apply more focus on sustainability in architectural education at universities. This includes working with academic institutions to show a demand by firms for students with this expertise, as well as lending expertise as practitioners to teach concepts and skills. GB: What is something you believe architects can do more of to ensure building and construction practices that are better for the environment? KB: Create goals and verify that they are met. Create sustainability, resilience, wellness, and equity goals for every project with all stakeholders and communities and ensure each design decision supports the goals. It is critical to follow up design with construction commissioning and post occupancy evaluations to verify that the design is actually meeting the goals in operation. 27
