A Cultural Transformation

Posted on by cguske

“Life’s most persistent question is: what are you doing for others?” ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

On Friday, June 19, a number of you joined the virtual meeting of the membership of AIA Virginia.  Afterwards, several of you requested a copy of my report.  Since my remarks were directed to the entire membership, I thought that providing them as my July newsletter article to you would be appropriate:

Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA
Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA

I’ve now been serving as your Executive Vice President/CEO for about 18 months.  During this time, we have addressed many items and issues on your behalf.

I am most proud of three particular things, all of which relate to cultural transformation:

  • Realigning our overall focus to be more member-centric (and less about the organization itself);
  • Achieving a very constructive office climate that is positive, supportive, and nurturing; and
  • Creating a more engaged, strategic, and excited Board of Directors.

We have built on the strong leadership and creative vision of the past to achieve an ever-greater aspirational and inspirational position on behalf of our members.  This is a necessary transformation towards a successful future.  Following the great recession, there is no way architects can think, act, and behave as they did before.  Instead, we – as a profession and as individuals – need to be about process innovation, diligent entrepreneurship, and visionary thinking.  For our clients, we are able to envision future realities that don’t exist, and we need to apply that same brilliant creativity to design our own pathway to a sustainable, vibrant, and successful future.

I see my role as being dual:

  • A visionary for the organization and its members: utilizing my experience and exposure to thousands of members and nearly every local and state component, and bringing that unique knowledge to bear for the benefit of the AIA members in Virginia.
  • A shepherd for the staff team: nurturing, coaching, and mentoring them. We have a wonderful team, and I feel fortunate to be shepherding such a competent, dedicated group of individuals.  They have a strong commitment to bettering the practice climate for our members, so working with them is a delight.

In closing, I would like to once again emphasize the importance of the cultural transformation we have tried to achieve at AIA Virginia.  Within this new way of thinking, every action we take and/or decision we make is conducting with the best interests of our MEMBERS at heart.  In so doing, the likelihood of success is greater, the tendency to please the members is higher, and the sense of engagement is stronger.  This, I believe we have achieved in large measure in a rather short amount of time.

It is my honor and pleasure to serve the members of the AIA in Virginia … my fellow members!

Sharing Your Words

Posted on by cguske

“Go to the people. Learn from them. Live with them. Start with what they have.”
~ Lao Tzu, Ancient Chinese Philosopher and Poet

For this installment of my newsletter article, I am sharing YOUR words with YOU. As you know, we at AIA Virginia have been focused on the member (and membership) experience – our service and support to each individual and to the collective. To learn more in this regard, we asked attendees at Architecture Exchange East to complete comment cards in response to the question, “From your perspective as a ‘design thinker,’ how could AIA Virginia elevate your member experience?”

Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA
Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA

Below are the comments from those cards; they’re conveyed here just as we received them, without any editing or editorializing. They were both enlightening and helpful. You’ll see a variety of responses, but many were focused on the development and delivery of knowledge. I hope you’ll review these, give thought to what your own response might be to this query, and offer your own to us via e-mail. We would love to hear from more of you as we endeavor to refine our programs, projects, and initiatives to best meet your needs:

2015 Architecture Exchange East Comment Cards

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

  • Be present in your community, volunteer in something you have interest or passion in. If nothing comes to mind…find something!
  • Community education/community intervention. When jurisdictional level of respect for architectural values is low or non-existent.
  • Change… the way the public sees the profession of architecture…and architects.
  • Position architects as an important and powerful force in the community; leverage the stories and personalities within the membership – create a campaign around it.

PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING

  • Structural engineers are your friends.
  • Introduce more opportunities for those not currently in the field but aspire to be (unemployed or unrelated profession) i.e., advertise free events, offer opportunities to gain I.D.P credits.
  • Structural engineers are your friends.

SHARING KNOWLEDGE

  • Work with the universities to open the door to architect as developer and construction leader. We need to be the leader master builder in the future.
  • Engage the society and the academics (faculty members) of the architecture programs throughout the commonwealth to begin to improve their relationships and ultimately begin to support each other.
  • Pay more attention to the needs of small architectural firms and individual architects (sole practitioners)!
  • Remember the small firm.
  • Help small firm architects understand we’re better when we work together…70% of all AIA members (56,000) work in firms of <20 staff.
  • Assist firms in collaboration through firm roundtables throughout the year.
  • Provide more events like Design Forum – maybe smaller less expensive events but that occur more frequently. Or possibly design concerns/discussion in each Chapter, then a composite session at AEE.
  • Connect Chapters to AIA knowledges resources to plan programs.
  • Architecture education, practice…and the in between. Elevate the conversation between AIAVA and both Emerging Professionals and Non-members to inspire membership but also establish membership.
  • Focus on technical training opportunities.
  • AIA has to become a theme leader on big issues. Yesterday our young professionals presented the web for sea (level) rise. This could be the next big issue. AIA take the lead and hold the info. There are many issues like this where AIA can shine.

ENHANCING COMMUNICATION

  • Transparency. When are meetings? Where does the money go?
  • Keep chapter websites up to date.
  • Why aren’t phone numbers on website for staff (VSAIA)? Without them the assumption is you don’t want to be contacted.
  • Provide incentives for completing ARE’s (publish names, ext).

A Special Relationship

Posted on by cguske

“When I design a project for a client, my shoes are underneath their bed.” ~ Hugh Newell Jacobsen

At Visions for Architecture in early November – and with the current exhibition at The Branch Museum of Architecture and Design – we have celebrated the best designs by our organization’s members. And the work is truly exceptional.  All this attention to our colleagues also led me to think about the special relationship that exists between architects and their clients. Very frequently, our ‘magic’ is made possible by these enlightened patrons of our work.

Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA
Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA

As an architect, I’m always eager to see our profession celebrated for the often extraordinary work we do at all scales, from ambitious transformational urban plans to single-family houses. And I know that one of the highest priorities of AIA members is a desire to cultivate a greater appreciation and understanding of the value of our work.

This focus on the power of our own design thinking is all well and good. But do we give enough credit to the critical role played by those who commission us? Yes, there is the fee for service. However, far more important to the quality of our work is the nature of the relationship between us and the client.

Who among us doesn’t have a horror story where communication between client and architect broke down over a misunderstanding or, worse, a stubborn demand to cut a corner? Nor is the experience any better when working for a disengaged client whose interest stops at cost per square foot and schedule. We can’t do our best work with clients who don’t challenge us, who don’t demand excellence.

Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting the owners of one of the featured projects in the exhibition at The Branch.  They had traveled from Northern Virginia to view the exhibit and see their ‘cabin’ among the awardees.  We had a lively conversation … and they were effusive about the wonderful experience they had with their architects and the pleasure they have derived from their new country getaway.  They described what a magnet this well-designed second home has been for them and for their children and grand-children – a place where all gather for fellowship and for a battery recharge away from the hectic DC commute.  For them, their architect-designed retreat had transformed their lives and enhanced their familial ties.

So while we applaud one another for work well done, let’s not forget one of the most important members of the design team—the engaged and discerning client. It’s their support that allows us to do more and better than we could do on our own.

Urbanization, Health and Resilience

Posted on by cguske

“People from all walks of life … must recognize the crucial role design can play in coping with the complexities and challenges of the future.” ~ Richard Farson, Ph.D.

Designing to Transform our WORLD

The peoples of our world are gradually coming to understand that many of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century— urbanization of the planet, the well-being of society, the resiliency of our communities—are fundamentally matters of design. Increasingly, governments, industry, and the general public are beginning to appreciate that the creativity, training, and experience of architects and designers are necessary if we are to realize the dream of healthy, productive, safe, sustainable, and livable communities.

First, Urbanization:
Today, more than half the world’s inhabitants live in urban areas. The pressing cultural and environmental concerns of

Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA
Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA

urbanization demand new levels of accountability as we measure ecological performance, energy use, density relationships, and dwindling resources.

Quick policy or technological fixes—a dam here, a regulation there—may provide temporary relief, but typically lead to larger problems. The paradigms of urbanism desperately need recalibration to meet today’s and tomorrow’s global challenges. Who is best trained and equipped to inform and lead the decision-making process that will bring about new thinking about the fair and sustainable allocation of resources? Architects and designers.

Second, Health:
An issue that demands our leadership is health. When we think of health, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the medical industry and treating illnesses when people are unwell. What should be uppermost in our minds is not the treatment of illness, but how to keep people WELL.

Whether dense or dispersed, there is a growing appreciation for the value of planning and designing cities to support physical activity, sunlight, clean air, the use of sustainable and safe building materials, access to healthy foods, safety, and social connectedness. This is a transformational moment for understanding and addressing the health consequences of our cities, and for architects to take the lead to put knowledge, measurement, and innovation at the disposal of elected officials and community leaders. We can and must be the agents for a quality of collaboration among all the affected parties, especially citizens, that shapes environments that support human wellbeing and environmental health.

And third, Resilience:
Becoming a globally urban society intersects with a looming crisis of 21st-century life—global climate change. This may be the greatest challenge of all, and it cries out for the leadership of designers of all disciplines. While some still question that human activity is (for the first time in history) having an impact on global weather, what is beyond argument is that more and more of us are in harm’s way. This affects us with growing frequency in Virginia.

“Resiliency”—which I define as structures that can resist all types of destructive events and continue to provide their primary functions—is a major challenge to the design professions—and an opportunity to demonstrate the value of design. Structures so designed have the ability to reduce the magnitude and/or duration of disruptive events by anticipating, absorbing, adapting to, and recovering rapidly from natural and human-caused disasters. Stated more simply, resilience can be defined as the ability to bounce back after a disturbance or interruption. However, resiliency does not and should not be equated with a fortress mentality; instead, it can be a way of thinking that links our work intimately with site and climate.

Conclusion
Public-opinion polls, newspaper articles about local issues and politics, and anecdotal evidence all show that communities around the world are concerned about livability issues. Health, security, transportation, safety, schools, sustainability, resiliency, economic development, and productivity all contribute to quality of life. All are influenced (in some way) for better – and, for worse – by the way we shape the built environment.

My dear friend, the late Richard Farson, PhD., recognized author and psychologist I quoted above, believed that we are in the midst of an emerging “Design Century.” In Dr. Farson’s words, “The stakes are high. The next few decades will determine the survival of our civilization. We will either design our way out of this crisis, or we won’t make it. We will succeed only if design thinking becomes the organizing discipline of the future!”

Front and Center

Posted on by cguske

“Remember the Member …” ~ HCD as a candidate for AIA President

Those who serve you – the AIA Virginia Board of Directors along with the staff team – have taken this phrase to heart. In every judgment we make, and each action we take, we consider the best interests of our membership. This month, I’m proud to share two major decisions that keep the individual member front and center.

Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA
Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA

The first relates to our emerging professionals. Beginning in the 2016 dues cycle, we’ll provide graduated dues for AIA Virginia members transitioning from Associate to Architect membership.

Delegates to the AIA 2015 National Convention in Atlanta in May supported a resolution to adopt a graduated dues model on a three-year cycle for members making this transition. In August, the AIA Virginia Board of Directors voted to follow suit, to strategically align with the Institute while also demonstrating our support for emerging professionals in the early stages of their careers. Further, the graduated dues model advances the objectives in our strategic plan to enhance support for emerging professionals and increase efforts to retain these members.

In this new model, the dues ‘step up’ over a three-year cycle. The first year following licensure, the member would incur the total cost of the current associate member rate plus one-third the difference of the architect member rate. The second year after licensure, the member pays the cost of associate membership plus two-thirds the difference of architect membership. The third year after licensure, the member transitions to the current architect member rate.

It is our belief that the minimal negative impact on the organization’s revenue will be more than offset by our ability to retain current Associate members and obtain new members. Anyone who has recently made this transition from Associate to Architect membership is painfully aware of the substantial jump in dues, happening at a career point when one is least able to bear it. Also, it helps our firms as well, as many generously continue to pay the dues for the members within their offices. And … we’ve encouraged all the local components in Virginia to join in this approach, if possible. The short-term sacrifice is well worth the long-term return in good will.

Speaking of good will, the second piece of news regards membership dues. Also during its meeting in August, the AIA Virginia Board decided NOT to raise state dues, at all. An escalator that aligns with National’s percentage increase is provided for each year, but the Board exercised its option to suspend the escalator. In other words, they made the deliberate decision not to raise dues … thus keeping your 2016 dues exactly at the 2015 level.

Our membership numbers are climbing, and quickly. In July, we exceeded our stated 2015 membership goal, and we continue to do all we can to enrich the value you receive for your investment in your professional society at the state level.

Thank you for being a member of AIA Virginia!

Are You Ready For A Change?

Posted on by cguske

“Always design a thing by considering it in its next larger context – a chair in a room, a room in a house, a house in an environment, an environment in a city plan.”    ~ Eliel Saarinen

For this month’s article, I reflect on Mr. Saarinen’s quotation as we move through the ‘redesign’ of Architecture Exchange East.  We are more than reinvigorating this significant member event; we’re completely enlivening it in a way that will have our members and friends departing the event genuinely inspired and with batteries fully recharged.  In other words, like many of our other programmatic refinements, elevating the member experience is foremost in our minds.

Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA
Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA

Early in the year, members of the core ArchEx team traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in an “Experience Innovation Forum” led by our impressive consultants, 360 Live Media.  As experts in live events and ‘designed experiences,’ they led us through a series of exercises and conversations intended to stimulate new thinking about the event towards a total refresh for 2015 and beyond.  Following that session, rapid progress was made on enhancements as Vice President Corey Clayborne, AIA, worked with the Professional Excellence Council and members of the staff team to provide an exciting and inspirational experience for our attendees.

Major efforts continue to energize all aspects of the conference in alignment with our desire to make it more aspirational and inspirational for everyone.  Planning meetings are being held regularly to discuss the exposition hall, educational programming, marketing and promotions, hospitality, and other major components.

Our two keynote speakers have been secured for Thursday morning and Friday afternoon, and both are excited to be a part of our program.  The opening keynote address (before lunch on Thursday) will be by Andrew Freear, Director of the Auburn Rural Studio.  Now twenty years in existence since its founding by Sambo Mockbee, FAIA, this programmatic model of social responsibility continues to provide structures for housing and community to underserved populations in western Alabama through student-led design-build projects.  As the Director of the program for 14 years, Andrew will inspire our audience through his touching stories about the transformational power of architecture in these rural areas.

The closing keynote (following lunch on Friday) will be presented by futurist David Zach.  Well known for his blow-your-socks-off speeches about trends and expectations, David is a former public member of the AIA Board of Directors.  His amazing insights will focus on architecture and design and their influence on the future of our country and the world.  David is a highly sought-after speaker, and his remarks are often appreciated by those early in their careers.

In addition to these dual keynotes, watch for a registration reception on Thursday morning, special-interest-area gatherings on Thursday evening, topic-centric coffee sessions Friday morning, powerful educational sessions in a variety of formats on both days, an increased number of tours, a more exciting exhibition hall experience, and a moving Visions for Architecture gathering to cap the conference.

Promotional materials will begin arriving shortly that will further stimulate your interest in participating in a wholly redesigned user experience – one that will be awesome for attendees, vendors, and speakers alike.  We know you’re going to notice the CHANGE in this year’s Architecture Exchange East!  In fact, we are willing to guarantee that you will have a better experience … or next year is on us.

Returning to the Publishing Ideal

Posted on by cguske

“Architecture is to make us know and remember who we are.” ~ Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe

Over the last several months, I have highlighted some of the significant changes and transformations taking place within your professional society at the state level. For this issue, I turn my focus to Inform magazine, which is being completely refreshed.

Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA
Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA

In fully considering the future of the magazine, we actually revisited and returned to the original publishing ideal, which so strongly called for a focus on reaching and educating a broad public audience. In order to realize this ambitious vision and shepherd the overall effort, we secured an expert in the field. M. Hunter Haglund has a long history of successfully evolving and curating mixed media. One of his recent success stories involves RVA Magazine, which in just ten years has redefined the region and now boasts one of the largest user bases of any independent media on the East Coast.

Though Hunter believes in the incredible potential of Inform as an outreach vehicle, he is also well aware of the immense challenge presented by grasping the future while embracing the past. It is for this and innumerable other reasons that we are being so careful and thoughtful about each step forward on what we hope to be a bright and prosperous path for all.

As you have likely already noticed, the first and second (spring and summer) issues were not printed this year. This was a tough decision, reached after much deliberation in order to better serve our advertisers, core stakeholders, and expanded audience. This choice was ultimately deemed necessary for unilateral improvements in the print version, web presence, and general infrastructure. It was the first hiatus (temporary or otherwise) in 25 consecutive years of publication. We were resolute about the importance of launching the next 25 years with our feet firmly planted in the future of 21st-century need fulfillment. It was simply not possible to continue obliging your interests without completely redefining how we serve tens of thousands of partners and readers.

Members of AIA Virginia will continue to receive the print version as a benefit of membership. Emphasis will center on subscriptions as well as placement in major book stores and retail shops. No longer will thousands of free copies of the magazine be distributed beyond the boundaries of the state; instead, careful consideration will be given to determine who receives strategic complimentary copies.

The Inform Awards program is also being enhanced with additional categories, increased relevance, and deliberate partnerships to better guarantee the well-deserved recognition of the finest in spatial design. Submission criteria, deadline(s), and nomination schedule(s) will be disseminated soon.

We know everyone will be better represented – if not inspired – by this much needed and exciting transformation. We’re truly devoted to curating each and every issue with care and attention, and we thank you for understanding that this takes time! Watch for your Directory first in late summer, followed by the magazine’s new web version, and then the gorgeous new print edition in mid-October …

Participate In Your Future

Posted on by cguske

On June 19, 2015, members of the Virginia Society AIA will have a unique opportunity.  For the first time ever, a meeting of the full membership will be held virtually. We hope you’ve received your postcard announcing this meeting and that you are planning to participate.

Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA
Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA

Your leadership believed strongly that there is much to share as we enter our second century of service to the profession and the public. We shall update you on progress within key initiatives, programs, and projects, as well as seek your input on important facets of the future.

One feature of our session will be the consideration of a new name for our professional society within our state.  As you know, the AIA is an organization made up of many local and state components in addition to the Institute. To help reinforce the overall brand, the AIA has developed naming and visual guidelines, along with rules for combining component names with the AIA symbol, monogram, and other elements. Our own organization’s moniker ― the Virginia Society AIA ― does not adhere to these naming conventions (nor has it for many years). As the AIA continues to implement various elements of the Repositioning initiative, and because the VSAIA Board of Directors has expressed a desire to deliver a more consistent level of service and support to all members across the Commonwealth, it makes sense that the Virginia Society AIA adopt the brand guidelines recommended by the national component.

On Friday, Feb. 20, the VSAIA Board of Directors voted unanimously to transition the name and they now sponsor before the full membership a Bylaws amendment to make this change. As this is adopted, our component name will be expressed as AIA Virginia. Their rationale for embracing the AIA’s guidelines are:

  • The AIA’s Repositioning Initiative has been deemed critical to the future success of the AIA; our transition to AIA Virginia signals a strong show of support for this work.
  • VSAIA’s Strategic Plan calls for us to develop a holistic strategy to strengthen ties with individuals, components, and related organizations.
  • This naming convention aligns with all of the local AIA components in Virginia (AIA Blue Ridge, AIA Central Virginia, AIA Hampton Roads, AIA Northern Virginia, and AIA Richmond).
  • To achieve visual coherence, it is important for us to consistently reflect the AIA brand.
  • Adhering to the guidelines establishes a strong visual continuity and more clearly expresses the organizational relationships of the AIA’s components.

Along with this critical conversation and decision, you will learn more about efforts in government advocacy, communications and outreach, and professional excellence, and advancements within the areas of alliances, operations, and membership.  Please plan to join President Valerie Hassett, FAIA, and the rest of the VSAIA Board of Directors for this momentous gathering of the membership of the AIA in Virginia. Register online.

Moving Forward

Posted on by cguske

In my last several articles, I have set an aspirational stage for the work ahead in my new role as your Executive Vice President.  For the next several messages, I will turn to a more practical description of how we are already moving forward with significant changes to provide ever-more-enhanced service and support to our members.

My strategic personal focus centers on: the member experience; the Repositioning Initiative; emerging professionals; and capturing public attention.  Efforts in these areas will ‘drop into’ several ‘buckets’ that are more operational in nature.  For this article, I’ll concentrate within the realm of operational effectiveness:

Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA
Helene Combs Dreiling, FAIA

Revenue:

  • Non-dues revenue programs under consideration – investigating opportunities to expand this area
  • Sales and sponsorships – formulating concentrated, strategic approach to staff-centric effort
  • Supplemental dues – commitment to investigating the phased elimination of supplemental firm dues

Operations:

  • Shift in fiscal year – moving to July 1 to June 30 fiscal year to concentrate dues receipts in one fiscal year and hold greatest revenue-generating program (ArchEx) earlier in year
  • Improve contributions to reserves – beginning aggressive approach to increase annual contributions to net assets; a significant contribution to reserves is shown in the fiscal year 2016 draft budget
  • Annual audit with less costly firm – conducting audit annually, rather than alternating with report, to increase accountability
  • Careful consideration of programs:
    • Architecture Exchange East – Reposition the event to be more aspirational for attendees
    • Inform – Reposition the magazine to be more inspirational to readers

Staffing:

  • Member experience – deliver service and support to enrich perceived value received by members
  • Market penetration – enhanced service delivery will spark additional interest and increase membership
  • Cultural transformation within office – inspire highly integrated, supportive, constructive, and nurturing culture

Many of these items and issues have already moved forward.  Some, I’ll review with our Board of Directors to seek guidance before proceeding.  Others are management-based so I’ll drive ahead on my own.  Obviously, the more complex ones will take more careful study and attention before a decision is invited or reached.  And certainly there will be many others along the way.  In all cases, though, I look forward to our collaborative and collective efforts!
