SUMMARY:Navigating the Entitlement Process: The Waycroft Case Study
DESCRIPTION:Skilled real estate developers navigate a complex entitlement process to build successful projects. Experienced developers know how to work with local governments\, surrounding communities\, and other stakeholders to creatively shape and improve their projects. \nLearn about the entitlement process from a case study presentation with Saul Centers\, a major developer in the Washington D.C.\, area. Saul Centers purchased a 2.8 acre site in 2014 which contained an auto dealership fronting a major road intersection and adjacent to residential housing in the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor in Arlington\, Virginia. Over the next several years\, Saul Centers’ vision for the property went through a rigorous entitlement process with inputs from county staff\, neighbors\, and community leaders. In 2020\, The Waycroft opened its doors\, a striking 12-story mixed-use development with 491 apartment units and 60\,000 sq. ft. of retail\, including an urban-format Target store. \nEarn 1.0 AIA LU (approval pending) \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) Financing in Virginia
DESCRIPTION:Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) provides affordable\, long-term financing to commercial property owners to pay for energy efficiency\, water efficiency\, and onsite renewable energy upgrades. Commercial property owners receive funding for energy savings upgrades and make repayments through their property tax bill. Ideal for private sector projects\, C-PACE can be used for new construction\, retrofits\, and resiliency efforts. As an additional advantage\, soft costs like A/E fees are included. \nDuring the 2020 General Assembly\, legislation was passed for the Commonwealth to create a statewide C-PACE program run through the Department of Mines\, Minerals\, and Energy (DMME). Virginia DMME is now in partnership with the District of Columbia Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) and the Maryland Clean Energy Center (MCEC) to form the Mid-Atlantic PACE Alliance. As architects play a key role in C-PACE projects\, we are proud to have DMME partner with AIA Virginia its outreach efforts. \nThe seminar will cover the following key elements: \n\nWhat is Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (C-PACE) Financing? (C-PACE is a tax assessment-based tool for building owners to finance clean energy- and water-related improvements to their properties. C-PACE assessments are typically collected by localities on property tax bills\, and repayment directed to the lenders by the locality. C-PACE financing is advantageous because it is secured by the property\, not the owner’s credit\, and is transferrable upon sale.)\nWhat are the eligible building types? (Generally privately-owned or non-profit; commercial\, hospitality\, industrial\, mixed-use or multifamily with 5 or more units\, agricultural; retrofit\, substantial renovation and new construction projects may utilize C-PACE)\nWhat measures and project costs are financeable through C-PACE programs? Typical energy and water conservation measures\, as well as solar PV\, EV charging  The C-PACE value proposition is that utility savings and long term financing (up to 20-25 years) will allow owners to mostly if not entirely offset the loan payments with the utility bill savings.  If a renewable energy system is installed\, this will reduce utility cost by crediting the electricity production from the system to the owner’s bill. Virginia’s code also allows for resilience\, flood prevention/storm water management\, and living shoreline improvements to be financed.\nHow can C-PACE combine with other incentives and financing (utility DSM programs\, traditional bank loans\, private equity) or programs (Opportunity Zones\, Main Street\, etc.)? C-PACE can be integrated with all available financing/capital sources for the project; it may also be a source of financing for organizations that may typically have difficulty in obtaining financing.\nProvide examples (case studies) of successful projects (we have several from Maryland and DC)\nHow can C-PACE assist building owners with indoor air and environmental quality issues including those associated with COVID-19? IAQ measures such as UV-C lighting systems are generally financeable if installed along with other energy-saving HVAC system upgrades\nWhat is DMME’s role (as the Virginia State Energy Office) in supporting C-PACE program implementation and availability of C-PACE financing in the Commonwealth?\n\nDMME has worked with stakeholders and industry partners for several years to enable C-PACE financing and programs.  Implementing C-PACE at scale statewide is well-aligned with DMME’s mission to ensure a transition to a vibrant and equitable clean energy economy for Virginians. \nEarn 1 AIA LU \nPresented by Virginia PACE Authority. \nVirginia PACE Authority (VPA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that designs and administers C-PACE loan programs for Virginia communities. We offer a uniform\, cost-effective and highly innovative C-PACE program platform that fosters greater economic development activity and promotes the Commonwealth’s clean energy goals. As the program administrator\, VPA works with commercial businesses\, property owners\, contractors and local governments to facilitate the financing of energy efficiency\, renewable energy and resilient projects on both existing buildings and new developments. \nRegister online.

SUMMARY:The Branch House Roof\, Trim and Windows
DESCRIPTION:The roof and windows are defining features of the Branch House. The diamond-patterned windows enhance the medieval character of the building\, the exterior woodwork relied on skilled craftsmen to make adjustments on-site like medieval carpenters\, and the roof system is a series of pitches with slate and flat surfaces now with modern coatings.  But these features are more than beautiful; they have to keep water out and their wear is showing. Our panel of experts will discuss the challenges of repairing building elements that pose the greatest risk to water infiltration that can either be highly visible or obscured. \nRegister: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4775098 \nA link to this webinar will be sent to all registrants the day before the event. \nPanelists: \nFred Esenwein\, Ph.D.\, Glavé & Holmes\, Moderator \nScott Taylor\, ES Taylor Studio \nSam Daniel\, Daniel & Co. \nWalter M.

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: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.
