SUMMARY:Egyptian Places: An Illustrated Travelogue
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an overview of Richmond architect Henry David Ayon’s recently-released book Egyptian Places. The monograph focuses on 12 sacred sites of ancient Egypt whose individual characteristics are described by written architectural commentary and illustrated by over 200 hand rendered drawings and graphic studies. \nThe volume’s chapters are organized by individual sites and the drawings attempt to convey the unique architectural features and the mythic ethos of each place through visually rich\, detailed drawings that convey the sense of these massive edifices set in a stark desert terrain. \nCentral to the book’s evocation of the architectural distinction of the buildings is the hand rendering technique utilizing sepia pencil and markers to create a simulation of the colors and chroma of the landscape. Numerous drawings were scanned after the initial pencil sketch and manipulated in Photoshop to apply sepia coloration in various percentages of density\, thereby illuminating different aspects of a particular scene or artifact. \nEarn 1.0 AIA Learning Unit \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Projecting Fellows Dialogue Series: MATERIAL CULTURES
DESCRIPTION:UVA’s Projecting Fellows brings together the 2019-2020 class of fellows from American architecture schools to explore a cross section of emerging interests in the discipline and the vehicle of the fellowship project. Each year\, several architecture schools nationwide name fellows to join their programs and develop an intensive research or teaching project during a short-term appointment. With the fellowship comes some combination of project support\, cross-pollination between research and teaching\, and a platform with which to present and exhibit the work. Commonly selected via national call for proposals\, fellowship projects are dually indicative of emerging interests in academia and evolving institutional agendas. \nWhile each school supports the development and dissemination of fellowship work\, no comprehensive venue for dialogue between fellows has taken shape. Leveraging the new normal of virtual engagement\, Projecting Fellows creates a discursive platform\, inviting fellows to share their work and to address emergent directions in architectural discourse. The paradigm shifts of 2020 make such dialogue across geographic boundaries and institutional lines more critical than ever. Projecting Fellows will address the meta project of the architectural fellowship – its role\, its curation\, and its consequences in shaping the discipline. \nThe series was organized by Assistant Profs. Katie MacDonald + Kyle Schumann and will be hosted virtually over five evenings by the University of Virginia School of Architecture. \nWk 2 Fellows:\nAdam Barrett Miller\, Race & Gender in the Built Environment Fellow\, Uni. of Texas at Austin\, 2019-21\nJacob Comerci\, William Muschenheim Fellow\, University of Mich.\, 2019-20\nZach Cohen\, Christos Yessios Visiting Assistant Professor\, The Ohio St. Uni.\, 2019-21\nKatie MacDonald\, Tennessee Architecture Fellow\, University of Tenn.\, 2019-20\nKyle Schumann\, Tennessee Architecture Fellow\, University of Tenn.\, 2019-20 \nModerators: Brandon Clifford + Alvin Huang \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Projecting Fellows Dialogue Series: MODES OF PRACTICE
DESCRIPTION:UVA’s Projecting Fellows brings together the 2019-2020 class of fellows from American architecture schools to explore a cross section of emerging interests in the discipline and the vehicle of the fellowship project. Each year\, several architecture schools nationwide name fellows to join their programs and develop an intensive research or teaching project during a short-term appointment. With the fellowship comes some combination of project support\, cross-pollination between research and teaching\, and a platform with which to present and exhibit the work. Commonly selected via national call for proposals\, fellowship projects are dually indicative of emerging interests in academia and evolving institutional agendas. \nWhile each school supports the development and dissemination of fellowship work\, no comprehensive venue for dialogue between fellows has taken shape. Leveraging the new normal of virtual engagement\, Projecting Fellows creates a discursive platform\, inviting fellows to share their work and to address emergent directions in architectural discourse. The paradigm shifts of 2020 make such dialogue across geographic boundaries and institutional lines more critical than ever. Projecting Fellows will address the meta project of the architectural fellowship – its role\, its curation\, and its consequences in shaping the discipline. \nThe series was organized by Assistant Professors Katie MacDonald and Kyle Schumann and will be hosted virtually over five evenings by the University of Virginia School of Architecture. \nWk. 5 Fellows:\nMentatalla Ahmed Agha\, Design for Spatial Justice Fellow\, University of Oregon\, 2019-20\nMatīss Groskaufmanis\, Walter B. Sanders Fellow\, University of Michigan\, 2019-20\nEduardo Mediero\, Fishman Fellow\, University of Michigan\, 2019-20\nAmelyn Ng\, Wortham Fellow\, Rice University\, 2019-21\nHans Tursack\, Pietro Belluschi Fellow\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, 2018-21 \nModerators: Erin Besler + Sekou Cooke \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:The Restoration Dialogue: Solving the Unknowns of Preservation and Restoration The Branch House Pipes
DESCRIPTION:The Branch House plumbing is remarkable in that so much of the original piping is still in use after 100 years but it is causing damage to the decorative plaster. \nTracing the pipes has led to understanding how the house was built behind the surfaces you see.  You will see various strategies in investigating behind the walls\, spaces not normally seen by the public including the highest and lowest parts of the building\, and some of the 1916 construction drawings from Pope’s office.  You will learn about construction techniques that were novel in 1919 but are common today and things to consider when describing work to be done that you cannot see. Like a simple plumbing job today\, what started as a seemingly mundane task escalated into a historical reimagining of the entire building and discovery of what was else needs to be done! \nPanelists: \nWalter M. Dotts III\, Trustee – Old House Authority\, and great-grandson of John Kerr Branch and Beulah Gould Branch \nCalder Loth\, Architectural Historian \nRegister: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4786486 \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU

SUMMARY:Placemaking: Shaping Your Environments
DESCRIPTION:When we think of placemaking\, we typically imagine how we dress up our favorite public space\, but the concept of place is so much bigger. Place is ubiquitous. It effects everything we do and it is one of the largest determinants of the type of life we lead. We are always surrounded by place. How places are built\, how they function\, and how they are designed dictate how people go about leading their lives. Our places have the ability to make us proud\, or make us feel ashamed. They have the ability to bring us closer to one another\, or make us feel alone. The places we shape\, determine our physical\, mental\, social and economic health. In understanding how much our places shape our lives\, we begin to understand how much better we need to do in shaping our places. \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:The Ramsey Homes: An Example of Early Public Housing in Alexandria-Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The City of Alexandria invites you to join a symposium on the Ramsey Homes\, which served as affordable housing units from 1953 to 2018. Originally built as temporary housing for African American war industry workers in the 1940s\, the homes served as permanent affordable housing for Alexandria residents for 65 years. The Ramsey Homes were located in the heart of the Parker-Gray Historic District and the African American enclave known as Uptown. This symposium tackles issues of race and equity in housing\, of community and community memory\, segregation’s impact on the African American workforce and the landscape of public housing. The Covid-19 pandemic has made America understand the importance of access to affordable housing\, transportation and amenities for all. This symposium examines Alexandria’s public housing history and the strides made in making Alexandria a livable and welcoming community. \nThe symposium will combine panel discussions on the building’s role in architectural history\, as well as a presentation on the residents who lived there for more than six decades. Panelists include historian Krystyn Moon\, architectural historian Anna Maas\, genealogist Char McCargo Bah\, civil engineer John Dumsick\, and architects Al Cox and Purvi Irwin. A virtual tour of the new project will follow the presentations. \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Governor's Summit on Equitable Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Shaping a more inclusive Commonwealth \nThe Governor’s Summit on Equitable Collaboration is hosted by the UVA Institute for Engagement & Negotiation in partnership with Governor Ralph Northam and his administration. This event is for all those who might be involved or interested in community engagement\, collaboration\, and equity – whether in health\, education\, natural resources\, or community development. We hope you all will attend this virtual event where people from across the Commonwealth will have an opportunity to learn about Equitable Collaboration\, to share their own tools\, and to discuss Virginia policy needs to advance Equitable Collaboration. \nIEN’s new Equitable Collaboration framework – itself the expression of decades of thinking and researching our field of practice and the discipline of conflict resolution – has been developed and challenged. These six elements – adaptive\, deliberative\, inclusive\, responsive\, trauma-informed\, and truth-seeking – guide how community conversations may be designed and conducted\, whether through a single meeting\, a community dialogue\, or a long-term collaborative change process. The Toolkit itself is a product of a robust engagement process. A diverse national advisory committee helped develop the structure and nature of the content for the Toolkit. It is available as an online resource and may be downloaded as a pdf at transformingcommunityspaces.org. \nSUMMIT GOALS: \n\nIntroduce and showcase the six principles for Equitable Collaboration.\nReview the growth and trajectory of collaboration in Virginia\, and its future needs to ensure equity.\nIllustrate the six principles for Equitable Collaboration through case studies in health\, education\, natural resources\, and community development.\nEnable participants to share resources around equitable collaboration approaches\, tools\, resources.\nEnable participant discussion and input for policy needs in Virginia to advance equitable collaboration.\n\nKEYNOTE SPEAKERS: \nRalph S.
