 From
the Editor:
I
am proud to announce that in the first four weeks
the participants of the AIA Alaska Summer
Bike Challenge have logged 11,817 miles. That’s
equivalent to 11,817 pounds of carbon, $2600 saved
on car operating costs, and – my personal favorite – 768,000
calories burned. The power of commuting!
In June I had the pleasure of attending the AIA National
Convention in Miami, Florida. Miami in June is hot
and humid, full of Brazilians escaping the winter cold
of the southern hemisphere. The ocean was warm, the
pool enticing, and the company excellent. Mike Mense,
Genevieve Holubik, Yolanda Lettieri, Garrett Burtner,
Klaus Mayer and I celebrated the ADF/AIA Alaska collaborative
achievement award with a sidewalk dinner at the Ola,
a hot new asian latin fusion restaurant.
The
Achievement Award recognized three entities; the
Alaska Design
Forum, The Architect’s Newspaper,
a biweekly newspaper of all that’s news in architecture,
with East Cost, West Coast and Midwest editions, and
Texas Architect, a glossy magazine produced by the
Texas Society of Architects that celebrates the best
in Texas architecture. Of the three, the ADF was the
only non-profit with a multiple design issue focus;
I was very proud of their accomplishments and the company.
Check out the other award recipients at:
Margaret
Friar is working to secure online ebooks
for ARE study resources that can be used by interns
statewide studying for the ARE. We anticipate having
access next month; watch this column for updates. Watch
also for the announcement for a lunch presentation
on IDP updates, probably the last week in August. More
information on study guide access should be available
at that time.
Thanks also to Margaret and to Mark Ivy for arranging
an intern construction site tour of the Martensen
Residence at 4:30 on July 22nd. Interns mark your calendar for
those elusive construction observation learning units.
Check
out Mark Masteller’s latest
contribution to the
Anchorage Daily News. Thank you Mark, for your continued
energy efficiency advocacy. For those of you who
don’t know, Mark
is the Alaska Director for the Cascadia Green Building
Council.
Jason
Burke, the State of Alaska ADA Conference Coordinator,
is
planning a conference focusing on accessibility
issues September 27-30 in Anchorage. You can read more
about the program and register at .
He has a great program planned for September 29-30,
plus a pre-conference for those interested in ADA training
and/or reasonable accommodation issues. Please consider
participating in the conference and supporting Jason’s
efforts to promote universal design in the state. The
AIA will be working with Jason to be sure you can get
continuing education credits for sessions dealing with
universal design. If you are interested in volunteering
to help with the conference, please let Jason know
at 907-465-6929.
Finally,
don’t forget to mark you calendar for
