"Ideabook," the opening reception, found hundreds of designers converging to share their visions of the city's future at the OSU Urban Arts Space, a building that typifies the renaissance taking place in the urban core of Ohio's capital city. The genesis of Columbus Design Week resides in a sort of functional envy that grew in the minds of architect Michael Bongiorno and his wife Sarah, event co-founder and urban planner, when the couple visited Montreal in 2009. Montreal is one of only 12 cities globally to bear the UNESCO City of Design designation. “We were impressed with the design culture in the city. There seemed to be a self-awareness about design, an awareness about the quality of public spaces, and a dialogue about design throughout the city. We started looking into the UNESCO City of Design designation and thought, 'Well, how do you get there?'” click here to watch the video Bongiorno effuses a boyish enthusiasm as he speaks about architecture, design, and urban planning. His childhood was spent roaming the streets and underground of New York City. As a transplant to Columbus, he discovered a city ready to embrace new ideas and diverse partnerships in support of sustainable urban development. As he puts it, “Columbus creates the conditions by which we can help cultivate growth and creativity.” In concert with the newly formed Center for Architecture and Design, Bongiorno conceived Columbus Design Week as a stepping-stone toward achieving the UNESCO City of Design designation. Along the way he discovered an unexpected convergence of purpose and energy: Bongiorno's group crossed paths with the team planning Columbus’s bicentennial celebrations, including idUS, a series of events focusing on innovation and design. In the tradition of Bruce Mau's Massive Change, the two groups combined their missions, and Columbus was suddenly poised to incubate design dialogues across many disparate disciplines. At the opening reception, hundreds of designers hovered over rows of blood orange Ideabooks and dozens of conversations bloomed. Bongiorno sums up the energy in the room: “We pride ourselves on the ability to make things happen. We’ve really worked together in the spirit of collaboration and I hope we never lose it. Though it’s infected the culture of the city so much that I don’t ever think it can go away.” 5 the comment | November 2012 | CSI Columbus Catalyzing Development through Dialogue “Design Week is great because people are thinking about new ideas. I want to see those ideas get executed. It’s one thing to have ideas, it’s another to actually implement those ideas and make them a reality.” – Guy Worley, Columbus Downtown Development Corporation (CDDC) As CEO of the CDDC for the past five years, Guy Worley has overseen a remarkable boom in urban revitalization and development. While many cities across the Midwest have been plagued with declining revenues and waning populations brought on by the global recession, Worley has witnessed a different story unfolding in Columbus. “In the Midwest, Columbus is really striving. We’ve weathered this economy very well and continued to grow,” Worley says. He recites a litany of downtown development successes accomplished within the past decade that have replaced the surface lots and derelict concrete bunkers of the 1980s with new residential neighborhoods, world-class sports complexes, and acres of green space. “These projects occurred because of the public and private leaders working so well together. I think that’s somewhat unique for our city," Worley explains. "It’s a very collegial city – people like to work together and get things done.” Commensurate with Design Week’s mission of creating high-functioning dialogues across disciplines, Worley’s team opened the latest phase of downtown strategic planning to the general public. Over 1,100 ideas were submitted and then condensed into a plan accessible since 2010 to the public at the Department of Planning's website, what Worley calls “12 catalytic projects.” “We had 20,000 folks view the plan online," Worley says, "and by far the number one project that they wanted to see accomplished is to redevelop the river itself.” Worley is speaking of the Scioto River, which winds south through Columbus, its course defining many of the spaces that the CDDC has developed over the past decade. Despite the successes of projects such as the Scioto Mile string of parks, the river itself is not a heavily trafficked waterway, neither for commercial nor recreational activity. As it cuts through downtown, the Scioto in its current state creates a cultural divide between the revitalized downtown district and the less vibrant near west side. As Worley puts it, “Our river is really not thought of as an amenity, it’s a sedimentation pond.” “Our goal is to remove the Main Street low-head dam, dredge the river, create 16' pools and riffles from 4' to 7', so it will become a recreational corridor from the Ohio State University through downtown and down to the Scioto Audubon Park. " We’re going to take it back to its original course from about 100 years ago. It will be about 250' to 275' wide, and there’s going to be 33 new acres of green space within the heart of our downtown – which will be transformative.” Worley adds with a wry smile of confidence, “This is all to be finished by the end of 2015, so that is an idea that is going to become a reality.” Photo Credits: Kinopicz American Buildipedia was created by AEC professionals to full their unmet needs for a site to share knowledge, promote best practices, and advance their understanding of building processes.

The 1915 AIA general conditions state, in Article 9, "The Architect shall have general supervision and direction of the work….The Architect has authority to stop the work whenever, in his opinion, such stoppage may be necessary to insure the proper execution of the Contract." Article 11 required the Contractor to "give efficient supervision to the work", and Article 12 required the Contractor to "provide and pay for all materials, labor, water, tools, equipment, light and power necessary for the execution of the work." Those basic responsibilities remained essentially the same until the 1960s. Since then, a lot has changed. In 1961, an architect was found liable for the death of a worker in Day v. National U.S. Radiator Corporation. It wasn't the first time an architect had been sued and it won't be the last, but this was a case that called into question the basic responsibilities of the architect, as defined by the general conditions. Briefly, Wilson & Coleman, an architectural firm in Louisiana, designed a new hospital building for the Louisiana State Building Authority. The contractor hired a subcontractor for all work related to the central heating system and the hot water system, which included a boiler. The specifications required a thermostat and a pressure relief valve for the boiler, but the subcontractor installed them instead on a water storage tank. The subcontractor did not inform the architect the system was ready for inspection, or request that an inspection be made. The subcontractor performed a preliminary test, the boiler exploded, and one of the subcontractor's employees was killed. It seems obvious that the subcontractor caused the explosion, first, by not installing the required safety equipment, and second, by not requesting inspection of the system before testing. However, a district court found the architects responsible, and relieved other defendants of liability. The architects appealed the decision. The court of appeals not only agreed with the lower court, but increased the amount of damages. How could the courts come to this decision? The architects, by contract responsible for "supervision of the work", were found negligent for failing to inspect the installation of the hot water system, and for approving shop drawings that did not show a pressure relief valve. In other words, the architects should have been at the site all the time, and should have watched the entire construction process. Apparently, they should have known the boiler was being installed, and they should have inspected it continuously, even if the installer did not tell them about the installation. In the end, the decision was overturned by the Supreme Court of Louisiana. That court determined that the architect's responsibility was not to continuously verify compliance with the contract documents, but to verify before final acceptance that the contractor had used the correct materials, and "generally that the owner secured the building it had contracted for." In this case, the courts eventually came to the conclusion that the architect is not responsible for safety, provided the architect is not specifically assigned that responsibility. In other decisions, similar conclusions were made, except in cases when the architect assumed that responsibility by voluntarily becoming engaged in matters related to safety. 9 the comment | November 2012 | CSI Columbus Even though the architects in this case eventually were absolved, the AIA quickly updated and reissued its A201 in 1963, only two years after the previous edition. In the 1963 general conditions, the architect's responsibilities were reduced; the architect now was required only to "make periodic visits to the site" and was not required to "make exhaustive or continuous on-site inspections…" In the 1966 A201, the definitions of responsibilities of both the architect and the contractor were expanded. The brief comments regarding the contractor's supervision of the work and paying for "light and power" were supplemented by making the contractor "solely responsible for all construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures and for coordinating all portions of the Work under the Contract." And if that wasn't clear enough, Article 2 - Architect, states the same thing, as a negative, for the architect: "The Architect will not be responsible for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety precautions and programs in connection with the Work, and he will not be responsible for the Contractor's failure to carry out the Work…" (my emphasis). Read again what is said about the responsibilities of the architect and of the contractor. In essence, the architect is responsible for showing what the building should look like, and what materials should be used where, and the contractor is responsible for pretty much everything else. Note there is nothing that requires the architect to tell the contractor, or the manufacturer, or the installer how to do their jobs. In fact, it states "The contractor shall be solely responsible for and have control over construction means, methods, techniques, sequences, and procedures and for coordinating all portions of the Work…" In 1970, the last vestige of the architect's former power was removed. The power to "stop the work" was taken from the architect and given to the owner. This was important, as architects continued to be found liable for worksite injuries, despite the exculpatory provisions of the general conditions. In effect, courts found the "stop the work" clause to mean the architect remained in control of the project, had a duty to understand the hazards associated with all types of work, and should take appropriate action to prevent injuries. Since then, the requirement to "make periodic visits" was changed to "visit the site at intervals appropriate to the stage of construction" to further reduce liability. Some may argue that none of this diminishes the architect's position as Master Builder, but AIA commentaries suggest otherwise. The commentary to the 2007 A201 states, regarding the means and methods clause in 4.2.2, "The last sentence [which ends with 'since these are solely the Contractor's rights and responsibilities'] underscores the statement of the contractor's responsibilities in 3.3.1 and reinforces the dividing line between the contractor's responsibilities and those of the architect" (my emphasis). Regarding 1.2.1, which states, "The intent of the Contract Documents is to include all items necessary…what is required by one shall be as binding as if required by all…" the comment is, “The contractor is expected to make reasonable inferences…[if] the documents show wall partitions covered by drywall…it may be inferred that some reasonable method will be used to attach the drywall to the underlying framework." Clearly, those who write the general conditions no longer see the architect as responsible for much beyond a general description of the intended results, and now expect the contractor to play a more prominent role in execution of the contract.

When I went to his concert this month at Wrigley Field in Chicago, I realized what he can teach small-business owners about growing their own businesses. 1. Address the hard issues. Springsteen’s music has always connected to the working class and its struggles. In recent years, he has written ballads on 9-11 and the Great Recession. From his latest album, Wrecking Ball, the Democratic National Committee played the song, “We Take Care of Our Own” after President Obama spoke this year. In 1984, Springsteen’s “Born in the USA,” which shined a light on the problem of unemployment among Vietnam veterans, was used by President Reagan on the campaign trail. Lesson for small business: Springsteen's music is popular because it takes hard issues head on. Likewise, your business solutions should recognize and address your customer’s worst pain. 2. Jump off the stage and into the audience. Springsteen is famous for his three-hour-plus performances. He dances into the audience and brings fans up on stage. At his concerts, he always seems like he is having a personal dialogue with each audience member. Lesson for small business: Get out of the office and go talk customers wherever they are. Don’t just broadcast a message through company advertising. Instead, have a dialogue with customers online through social media. Talk to them offline at conventions, personal meetings and via telephone. 3. Work even harder after success. Springsteen has been a major financial success since he released Born to Run in 1975, his third album of a three-album record deal. Even though he has recorded more than 35 albums and reportedly makes over $200 million a year, he still works just as hard on stage as when he launched his career. He never has a warm-up act and does not rest between songs. Lesson for small business: Don’t sit on your laurels. Successful business owners work even harder to stay where they are. 4. Always innovate. Imagine how surprised I was to hear a bit of rap music at Springsteen’s Wrigley Field concert. The Boss, who has been rocking since before anyone ever heard the term "rap," still manages to stay current by incorporating new genres and influences into his act. Lesson for small business: Constantly innovate your products and services while staying true to your core brand. 5. Appreciate what you have. At the Chicago concert, Springsteen said, “As I get older, I appreciate each of these evenings that much more.” Lesson for small business: Pause and realize that owning a small business is one of the greatest opportunities in the world. 11 the comment | November 2012 | CSI Columbus 6. Enthusiasm is contagious. It is obvious that Springsteen still loves what he does. It is evident in all of his lyrics and every song he performs. He is always the last one on stage even after three encores. Lesson for small business: Find a way to stay passionately connected to the business. Customers can feel it. 7. Focus on customer service. Springsteen is known for obsessing about every detail of the album and the concert experience. It defines his product. Lesson for small business: No amount of marketing can help a small business as much as a reputation for excellent customer service. 8. It’s never the end of the world. Springsteen once said “when you go on stage, you have to think like you’re the biggest rock star in the world. At the same time, you have to remember you’re not saving lives out there; it’s just music.” Lesson for small business: It is important to put 100 percent into a business, but remember at the end of the day, it’s not life and death. Let go and try again another day.

In Central Ohio most of our electricity still comes from coal burning power plants. Each power plant admits about 50 tons of mercury each year. That makes each incandescent 60 watt bulb responsible for 5.75 milligrams, each equivalent 13 watt bulb responsible for 1.25 milligrams of mercury. The Fluorescent bulb contains no more than 4 milligrams of mercury, with newer bulbs containing as little as 1 milligram. So, if the fluorescent bulb is thrown in the trash after 8000 hours of use we are still ahead. But, all Home Depot & Lowes stores accept used bulbs for recycling, eliminating the 1-4 milligrams making the fluorescent bulbs less of a source of mercury. If a fluorescent bulb is broken inside do not vacuum up the powder and glass. Rather, air out the space for 5 minutes then scrape the large glass and powder pieces onto a piece of cardboard and into a zip-lock plastic bag. Use wet paper towels to clean up remaining powder and glass and place in another zip-lock bag. Place both bags in the municipal trash. 13 the comment | November 2012 | CSI Columbus CSI Columbus - November Chapter Meeting The November monthly meeting was again at The Boathouse, formerly the River Club at the Confluence.

On October 18, 2012, Scott A. Bertke, Field Representative, several of the CSI-S members and others boarded a bus at 8:30 am sharp and headed north. We took a tour of Tremco Incorporated headquarters in Beachwood, Ohio. The company has transformed its circa-1970 headquarters building into a LEED GOLD –NC certified sustainable showcase that features a 9,000 square foot vegetated roof, two photovoltaic arrays, a wind turbine, a 15,000 gallon water capture and reuse system, an insulated façade and much more. Additionally during the month of October, we had Bill Resch as our guest speaker at the membership meeting. Bill is overseeing the relocation of the 2009 Solar Decathlon building. This building is an OSU creation, was on display in Washington D.C., relocated to the Columbus Zoo, and is currently being installed in New Albany, Ohio. CSI-S students were invited to assist on the project, after the professionals get it set on foundation.

Like his mentor Frank Lloyd Wright, Dow integrated natural surroundings in his architecture. Dow, son of the Dow Chemical Co. founder, designed his home and adjoining studio in 1933 in Midland. They total 20,000 square feet and were built using Dow's patented "Unit Blocks," cast from cinder concrete. The two buildings sit along a stream and plum grove. The home is a low-lying and winglike structure. Inside, visitors first see two walls of windows, a vaulted ceiling and views of the terraced garden beyond. The studio's roof hangs over an artificial pond containing rushes and lilies. Inside, the floor of a sunken conference room rests 18 inches below the water's surface. Water laps at the window on windy days. Dow and his wife, Vada, lived there until they died — he in 1983, she in 1991. The home and studio were donated to the Alden and Vada Dow Creativity Foundation. 21 the comment | November 2012 | CSI Columbus
