Member News
Congratulations to our CSI Chicago members elected to the AIA College of Fellows. On February 12, 2016 AIA
announced its 2016 recipients including the following write-ups on our two member recipients:
Larry Kearns, FAIA, Principal at Wheeler Kearns Architects
Category Two: Advanced the science and art of planning and building by advancing the standards of architectural
education, training and practice.
Since becoming a principal of Wheeler Kearns Architects in 1990, Larry has focused on projects with ambitious
social, economic, and environmental goals. Recent projects range from Chicago’s first high school designed for
students with Learning Differences to Inspiration Kitchens Garfield Park, which won the national 2013 Rudy
Bruner Award for Urban Excellence. Current work involves two adaptive reuse projects for charter schools that
are leveraging blended learning in poverty-stricken neighborhoods in Chicago.
Larry has collaborated on a series of five senior-focused cafes in city neighborhoods, a library renovation for the
School of the Art Institute, a LEED-gold high school gymnasium, Chicago’s first high school in a downtown high

PRESIDENT’S LETTER
March 2016
I’m starting to look at the upcoming final few months of my presidency both
with a little sadness that it’s already ending, but also with a lot astonishment
that the Chicago chapter was able to accomplish so much this year. I’m
incredibly grateful that I’ve had an energetic team that was willing to jump in,
roll up their sleeves and work incredibly hard to plan all the events and
develop our new initiatives. In the next couple months I will need to start
figuring out how to best thank everyone for all the amazing ideas, teamwork,
and perseverance they gave to making it a successful year for me and
Chicago CSI.
In this letter I wanted to mention just a couple of initiatives that are completely
new; one that is planned for this spring and another that will, with some
persistent work and dedication, come into being next fall.
Pat Duffy has put a great deal of thought and work into the first initiative: a 1-1/2 to 2 hour roundtable event that is a
collaboration between CSI Chicago Chapter, the Building Enclosure Council – Chicago and the Association of
Subcontractors and Affiliates (ASA Chicago). This event will be held at noon, May 13 in the Pella/EFCO showroom in the
Merchandise Mart (with thanks to Chris Carpenter for offering the space). The format for this event will be a panel
discussion featuring a developer, general contractor, subcontractor, and consultant. They will discuss the strategies and
approaches used in preconstruction services, pricing, procuring and executing construction when faced with different
project delivery methods, such as Design-Bid-Build, GMP, Design Build, or Design Assist. Given that three organizations
are participating, we anticipate that this will be a popular event. Watch your email for more information and an invitation to
register.
The other initiative was my own idea, but borrowed heavily from things that are happening in chapters around the country.
Last year Chicago chapter began offering scholarships to CDT candidates; the scholarships pay for the CDT course and
book, the exam (if passed) and one year of membership. In exchange, recipients agree to serve on a chapter committee.
I approached our four CDT scholarship recipients, Charles Arko from SCB, Rebecca Greenberg from ESA, Bill Orlowski
from ASI, and Noi Phonexayphova from Fitzgerald Associates with the suggestion they all form a new committee to help
plan additional programs for next year that will have a young professional focus. The idea is that the events should be
fun and educational, low cost and high value. The events might be similar to the Beer/Pizza Education Series that
Portland chapter has been doing, for example, but during my discussion with “the scholars” they offered some great other
ideas. We should look forward to these ideas coming to fruition beginning in September.
Once again, I wish everyone a great month. I look forward to seeing and talking to you all at our events this spring.

UPCOMING CHAPTER EVENTS
Friday, March 4, 2016: Chicago Chapter Specifiers’ Roundtable
Subgrade Waterproofing – Considerations for Specifiers
Facilitated by: Joseph Macicak, SE, PE, Consulting Engineer
Raths, Raths, & Johnson, Inc.
Effective subgrade waterproofing systems can be relatively simple for some projects and exceedingly
complex for others. Specifiers need to be aware of the existing jobsite conditions and details of the
design that may affect the installation and performance of subgrade waterproofing systems. During this
roundtable we will discuss some fundamental parameters that should be considered in order to develop
efficient and effective subgrade waterproofing specifications.
Learning Objectives:
 Recognize how subgrade hydrology for a particular jobsite can impact waterproofing
product/system selection, and the importance of accurate assessment of existing conditions.
 Realize the benefits and limitations of various subgrade surface preparation methods
 Better understand how to coordinate with subgrade waterproofing specialists and delegate
responsibility within the specifications.
 Identify appropriate waterproofing systems, products, and approaches

AIA/CES Presentation: Why There are No Smart Buildings: The Dark Truth Behind the Internet of
Things and Its Sordid Relationship with the Design and Construction Industry
“Smart” buildings have been talked about for over a decade. Owners want them, but the design and construction industry
still does not know how to deliver them; let alone know what a smart building really is. And now, the media is talking a lot
about the “internet of things”. What’s that?
This presentation will provide insight into how project teams can transform the human experience in the built environment
through leveraging technology, and how to deliver smart building leveraging the internet of things.
About the Presenter: David Wilts, LEED AP BD+C, CTS, leads Arup’s Digital Building practice in the

CSI Chicago Presents Scholarship Awards to IIT Students
The CSI Chicago Student Affiliate committee presented its $1,000 scholarship award to IIT student Karla Garcia this
year. As part of the award, Karla will also receive a one-year membership to CSI Chicago Chapter. This year’s award is
sponsored by SJ Mallein, Co. Karla will also be recognized at our March
Chapter Program.
Applicants for the scholarship were tasked with creating a text narrative of their design process, and how different factors
influenced their material choices in regards to the building envelope. This pushed the students to dig deeper into issues of
system design and how those decisions can impact aesthetics as well as building function.
There were a few standout projects, but the thoughtfulness of Karla’s submission is what made her the award winner this
year. Her Perry Avenue Farm- H2O Garden project showed a clear understanding of not only how to define and detail
these systems, but also how to manipulate, reuse and combine materials to contribute to the core function of her project.
The building was designed to harvest natural resources, including sun and rain, to not only provide a space for people to
learn and interact, but to also double as a place for localized food production in one of Chicago’s South neighborhoods.
Student Affiliate Committee Chair Peter Grotenhuis, along with Jeremy Olsen and Scott Conwell, have plans underway to
form a CSI Student Chapter at IIT.
Karla Garcia- 2016 IIT/CSI Chicago Award Recipient:
I was born in Guatemala, and I lived there for twenty-one years. I graduated
from high school in 2006, at the age of 18. A few months after graduation, I
decided I wanted to be an architect, since in my high school years I had taken
construction and drawing courses. I did not know much about architecture, but I
knew there was something fascinating about it, and I wanted to discover it. In
2007, I enrolled in the architecture program at San Carlos University of
Guatemala. After three and a half years, my life took a 180 degree turn. My
mom met my stepfather in 2010, and my family moved to the US. I stayed in
Guatemala because of my career but I joined them six months later. Moving to
the US has been the hardest decision I have ever made. But I have always liked
change, and I really thought I needed one. I knew the language was going to be
a challenge, and also that I had to adapt to a totally different culture. Those
things turned me off obviously, but one thing mom has taught me is that
opportunities are doors that open few times in life for us, and that I have to take
the chance whenever a door opens. This was a huge opportunity for me, and I
was not willing to let it go. I left my whole life in Guatemala, but brought with me my dream of becoming an
architect and my willingness to succeed in life.
I enrolled at San Antonio College in fall 2011, I graduated in Spring 2014, and I was the distinguished graduate of
the Architecture Program. I transferred to the Illinois Institute of Technology in Fall 2014. I am a 4th year
architecture student at IIT pursuing a business minor, and I will graduate in May 2017.
CSI Chicago Helps Judge and Sponsors Award for Future Cities Competition
Future City is a cross-curricular program that lets students in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades do the things engineers do:
identify problems, brainstorm ideas, design solutions, test and retest, build and then share the results.
Future City starts with a question—how can we make the world a better place? To answer it, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade
students imagine, research, design, and build cities of the future that showcase their solution to a citywide sustainability
issue. Past topics include stormwater management, urban agriculture, and green energy. This year’s theme: Waste Not,
Want Not.
Students present their solutions via a virtual city design (using SimCity); a 1,500-word city description; a scale model; a
project plan, and a presentation to judges at Regional Competitions in January. Regional winners represented their region
at the National Finals in Washington, DC in mid-February. After the competition is over, student participants are not only
prepared to be citizens of today’s complex and technical world, they are poised to become the drivers of tomorrow.
Tim Blatner, CSI, CDT, LEED AP, FitzGerald Associates Architects and CSI Chicago Board Director, Kevin Madden, CSI,
CDT, Oak Tree Building Products, and Erik Leahy, FiztGerald Associates Architects were among the judges of this year’s
projects. Of the many outstanding entries, Couborg by Urbana Middle School was awarded the CSI special award for
Best Use of Construction Materials.
Thank you to Kurt Moehlmann, RPI, immediate past-president of the chapter, for providing the funding to
sponsor this award for the Chicago chapter.

RECAP OF CHAPTER EVENTS
Tuesday, February 23, 2016: 13th Annual Building Enclosure Event
High Performance Building Enclosures: New Materials, Innovation and Lessons
Learned
Graham Finch, Dipl.T, MASc, P.Eng, of RDH Building Science, Inc. delivered an in-depth and thoughtful presentation on
the advancements of thermal bridging and for a large crowd at both the breakfast and lunch sessions of this year’s
Building Enclosure Event held at Maggiano’s in Chicago. He involved the audience by asking “what do you see here?”
throughout his slides of thermal imaging pictures.
The presentation was well-received by both sessions with one comment coming in from an attendees saying “It was one
of the better presentations I have attended in a while.”
For those looking to access a copy of the presentation slides, they have been posted on our website.

CONTRIBUTED ARTICLE
Key Clauses of the General Conditions: Means and Methods
By: Sheldon Wolfe, RA, FCSI, CCS, CCCA, CSC
In the last post, we looked at the complementary clause, and
saw how powerful it can be; we also looked at the limits of that
power. Many architects know of that clause, and I occasionally
have heard it cited, something like this: "I don't care if there is no
specification for it; it's on the drawings, and you have to provide
it!" In the same conversation, it wouldn't be unusual to hear, "No, I don't know how you're going to do it - that's means and
methods!"
Although architects aren't shy about citing "means and methods" it seems many of them don't understand the full impact
of what they're referring to. Turning again to the AIA A201, here's what Article 3 says (my italics).
§ 3.3 SUPERVISION AND CONSTRUCTION PROCEDURES
§ 3.3.1 The Contractor shall supervise and direct the Work, using the Contractor’s best skill and attention. 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 under the Contract, unless the Contract
Documents give other specific instructions concerning these matters.
§ 3.3.3 The Contractor shall be responsible for inspection of portions of Work already performed to determine that
such portions are in proper condition to receive subsequent Work.
§ 3.4 LABOR AND MATERIALS
§ 3.4.1 Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall provide and pay for labor,
materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery, water, heat, utilities, transportation, and other
facilities and services necessary for proper execution and completion of the Work, whether temporary or
permanent and whether or not incorporated or to be incorporated in the Work.
Read that again, and again if necessary, and think about what is required. Now let's list the contractor's responsibilities.
 Supervise and direct the Work.
 Decide the proper way to do everything (means, methods, techniques).
 Decide when and how everything should be installed (sequences, procedures).
 Schedule the work of subcontractors and suppliers (coordinate).
 Determine if work already done is ready for the next step.
 Provide and pay for everything needed to complete the Work.
If architects understand all that, why do they waste time specifying things the contractor is responsible for? Is it necessary
to explain how ceramic tile, or floor coatings, or roofing should be installed? Is it necessary to tell the contractor when
activities should take place? Is it necessary to state that work of one section should be coordinated with work specified in
another section? Does the architect need to state that prior work must be ready before proceeding with subsequent work?
Does the contractor need to be told what is included for a specific activity, or who will pay for it?
The answer to all those questions is "No!" Unless, that is, the architect has decided to do those things, in which case the
contractor is relieved of responsibility for them, as stated at the end of 3.3.1.
What then, is the architect's responsibility? After seeing what the contractor is required to do, there isn't much left. The
architect must:

Design and draw the appearance of the building, in sufficient detail to allow the contractor to build it.

Specify those items that are needed to achieve the design intent. As noted in the last post, if the documents
show tile but do not state what it is, the contractor can get it at the dollar store.

Specify reference standards as needed to get the desired performance.

Observe the construction as required by the owner-architect agreement, process payment applications, and
so on.

Use Division 01 to specify requirements not found in the general conditions.
Relying on the conditions of the contract and Division 01 will allow the architect to eliminate common redundancies,
resulting in shorter specifications that will be easier to write, easier to understand, and easier to enforce. Needless
references to the conditions of the contract and Division 01 can be eliminated, as can repetitive specifications for bidding
requirements; submittals; substitution requests and prior approval requests; delivery, storage, and handling; cleaning;
responsibility for payment of testing and corrective work; and so on. Instead of regurgitating manufacturers' specifications,
a simple "Comply with manufacturer's installation instructions and recommendations", stated once in Division 01, will
suffice.
Does that mean the architect cannot say anything about installation? No, but it's good to remember that when that
happens, the architect has usurped the contractor's authority, and assumed the contractor's responsibility. Before doing
so, architects must make sure they know more than the manufacturer and installer.
Note that nowhere do the general conditions require the architect to explain to the contractor how to run the job, nor do
they require the architect to explain to installers how to do their jobs. A moment's thought should be enough to understand
why this is so. Manufacturers' representatives have often told me that they have difficulty keeping up with changes in their
products, even though those products represent only a small part of the entire building. If that's the case, how can an
architect be expected to know everything about the multitude of products in a typical building?
As noted in the conclusion of the previous post, there is no substitute for showing everything required both on the
drawings and in the specifications. However, doing so without understanding the means and methods clause will result in
needless repetition and greater potential for contradictions, but more important, it may also result in the architect
assuming additional risk.
