Awards Gala Honors Top Projects and
Professionals
The Alabama Council of
The American Institute
of Architects honored
six building projects as
outstanding examples of
architecture during the 2007
Design Awards presentation. The awards ceremony
was the highlight of the
Alabama Council’s Awards
Gala held at The Country Club of Birmingham.
Alabama Council President,
Linda Snapp, of Clark Geer
Latham of Mobile, presided over the evening. The
Awards Gala also included
the presentation of the
Alabama Masonry Institute’s Top Block Award, the
President’s Award, Member
Service Award, the Accolade
Award and the Alabama
Architectural Foundation’s
Distinguished Architect
Award and Significant
Building Award.
The Alabama Council’s
Design Awards Program
encourages excellence in
architecture through the
commentary of our colleagues. From a group of
35 statewide entries, the
jury awarded two Honor
Awards, three Awards of
Merit and one Honorable
Mention Award.
Jury Members
The jury consisted of jury
chair Dennis K. Ruth, Cofounder and Director of
the Design-Build Masters
Program with the College
of Architecture, Design and
Construction at Auburn
University, Lloyd Bray of
Mack Scogin Merrill Elam
Architects, in Atlanta, and
Seab A. Tuck, FAIA, of
Tuck Hinton in Tennessee.
Gary Greenshields, AIA,
from Infinity Architecture
in Montgomery, was the
Design Awards Chair.
Design Awards entries were
selected for recognition
based on the success with
which they met the jury’s requirements. Honor Awards
are the highest level of recognition that the Alabama
Council AIA bestows to
firms for exemplary design
exceeding criteria set by the
jury. Awards of Merit are
presented to firms meeting
the jury’s requirements for
design excellence.
Honor Awards
This year an Honor Award
was presented to BN
Studio of Auburn, AL, for
Chewacla House. This 3700
sq. ft. courtyard house
builds upon the historical
courtyard house typology,
employing transparency as
part and parcel of contemporary thought to accommodate a house for modern
lifestyle. The design part for
this house takes advantage
of two existing creeks on
east and south to anchor
the two wings of public and
private rooms creating a
transparent central area for
formal functions of living
and dining, and an exterior
private courtyard.
An Honor Award was
also presented to Williams
Blackstock Architects of
Birmingham for Innovation Depot. The project is a
renovation of an abandoned
Sears department store. The
new function of the building will serve a non-profit
business incubator client
with office and lab space
for growing a technology
oriented start up business.
The design reaches out to
the urban context to serve
as a catalyst for revitalizing
the blighted area and conserves resources by re-using
existing building components. The windowless,
masonry façade of the first
floor was removed to open
the interior to the outdoors
with dramatic expanses
of glass for 120,000 SF of
office space. The second
floor houses 20,000 SF of
research laboratories. The
brick building masses were
painted different colors to
break down the scale of the
building.
Merit Awards
Three Awards of Merit were
presented this year.
Cohen Carnaggio Reynolds
of Birmingham received one
of these prestigious awards
for their work and design
of the YMCA Youth Center
in Birmingham. The project
consisted of the renovation
of an existing gymnasium
building for the Birmingham YMCA Youth Center’s
after-school and summer
care program and The
Rushton Daycare Facility.
The former Phillips High
School gymnasium was
renovated for the YMCA
youth programs, such as
after-school and summer
care of city center children,

President’s Message
A Message from 2008 President Linda Snapp, AIA
Clark Geer Latham, Mobile
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. 2007 was a very profitable and successful
year for most. We are hopeful the growth and prosperity will continue in 2008.
As 2008 gets off to a quick start, we have new challenges and issues before us. The Alabama
Registration Board is proposing changes to the Registration law which will help better define
our roles as Architects in this state. The State Building Code and statute of repose could possibly be issues we will pursue again this year, and the Interior Design Bill and immigration
may become issues we want to be involved in at some level.
Linda Snapp, AIA
The Alabama Building Commission Fee Schedule is still an area we will concentrate on, trying to get changed, with help from our industry partners. I would like to extend special thanks to Gary Greenshields for his hard work toward this change.
National AIA has formed a Disaster Preparedness and Response team, which is made up of Disaster Assistance State
Coordinators. The Alabama Council AIA will participate in this effort, and I thank Butch Grimes for volunteering to
represent The Alabama Council in this effort.
The Executive Committee had a successful planning retreat this year. We all agreed Sustainable Design, Green Building and Leed Certification are areas we need to spend more time on. Membership numbers are up but we need to
keep those numbers up and try to encourage fellow architects who are not members to become members.
The Executive Committee agreed on the importance of helping our Interns to work toward getting licensed and
becoming involved in the AIA. For this reason, we discussed providing education geared toward the ARE at the State
Convention, specifically for our Associates and Interns.
I have only touched on a few of the opportunities that are before us. We have a great group of hard working members
who are always working for the Council and its members.
Over thirty years ago I attended my first AIA meeting as a co-op student. It was nothing more than an after work get
together in a bar (I could not participate in that part) where the local architects met, put aside competition, enjoyed
conversation and shared ideas. I really did not know what AIA meant – I think I thought it just meant you were registered. Since my time in Alabama, and my involvement with the Council, I am constantly amazed at the dedication and
hard work of many of its members. I have learned how important the AIA is to the profession and to me personally.
Thirty years ago I would never have dreamed I would be serving as President of The Alabama Council AIA. I appreciate the opportunity to serve as your 2008 president and look forward to a successful year.

A second award of Merit was awarded to Giattina Aycock Architecture
Studio for Red Mountain Bank in
Birmingham. Set into an existing
retail village of single-story scale
and traditional tudor style, a client
sought to merge modern banking
technology with the casual warmth
of a neighborhood café. The design
required fit-up of an existing shell in
one building, and complete rebuilding of the adjacent corner building.
Traditional materials were reinterpreted through the detailing. The
building is faced with tumbled brick
and topped with a pitched slate roof,
and offices are punctuated by copper
canopies.
An Atlanta-based firm, Jova Daniels Busby, received the third Merit
Award for the Southern Progress
Building 3 in Birmingham. This firm
created a building that respects its
environment, becomes one with the
terrain and allows a direct visual
connection with the wooded site to
all staff members. The owner wanted
planning flexibility within the office
spaces, a strong interior/exterior
relationship for every business sector
within the company and distinctiveness for each building within a
controlled design vocabulary. The
architecture is so integrated into
the corporate culture that the CEO
describes the architecture as not
merely supporting the company’s
culture, but virtually creating it.
This building expands and extends
the campus, connecting directly to
the first building.
Honorable Mention
Receiving an Honorable Mention Award was Giattina Aycock
Architecture Studio for Children’s
Harbor Lodge Community. The
architect worked with a husband
and wife team, who envisioned
making a beautiful place on their
wooded lake property with a
simple concept: provide a place
that would strengthen children
and their families. The solution
arranges housing cabins on both
sides of a swale in loose village
like clusters; the clusters maximize
individual privacy and form grade
level exterior commons used for
recreation. Like the Creek Village,
the housing is connected across the
site by formal communal space, the
town hall. The result is a simple,
high quality space for education,
recreation and a place to meet on
a deeply shaded porch. The porch
is, for many of the children, their
only connection to the woods and
the water that allows them to be
regular kids for a week.

Alabama Architectural Foundation Books Help
Provide Support for Scholarships
By Charlie Moss, AIA Emeritus, AAF Executive Director
The Alabama Architectural
Foundation received the bulk
of our books, Community
in Alabama: Architecture for
Living Together, right before
the Christmas rush. We have
sold almost 2000 books and
have 120 on consignment in
book shops over the state.
With less than three thousand books remaining, we
will be looking forward to
the spring surge.
The power point presentation was
at the Jule Collins Smith Museum
of Art in Auburn on February 21st,
with Alice Bowsher giving a presentation and signing books for those
attending. This is the first of a series
of presentations that the AAF will
give in several locations around the
state. If you would like us visit your
community, email me at
[email protected]. We
would like for more groups
in other areas to have an
opportunity to learn more
about how architecture and
design help create community and shape the way we
live together. Like the first
book, this one is an ideal gift
for all readers interested in
architecture, landscape architecture, urban design and
city planning. As you know,
the proceeds from this book
will go to scholarships for students in
architecture and the arts at Auburn
University and Tuskegee University.
The AAF also provides financial aid
to students who work with the Biggin
Loan Fund. All of the architects in
the state know that they can continue
to support the Foundation by purchasing more books. Your office can
purchase books for your clients and
office staff. This is also a book you

Auburn University AIAS Appreciative of Alabama Council AIA’s Help
By: Uel Bassett, AIAS President
The Auburn Chapter of the AIAS has
been active in the local community
and in the national scene. Our Annual
Pumpkin Carve held on 26 October
2007 brought out the best carving
talents and the largest amount of
Auburn-Opelika community members
we’ve ever seen. This success raised
money for the AIAS, along with other
allied organizations, such as those in
Landscape Architecture, Community
Planning, Industrial Design, Graphic
Design, and Art. As an organization,
we have been working hard to connect with fellow student organizations
within the allied arts of design. The
pumpkin design >, entitled “Speakeasy!” was unanimously declared the
1st prize winner.
We continued the tradition set last
year of going out into local elementary
schools by providing the volunteers
for the Adventures in Art program
held at a community center in town.
AIAS members spent time educating
4th- and 5th-graders about architecture and the Rural Studio, along with
making a craft project that let the children express themselves by designing
a building through collage. We also
sent students to a local elementary
school to perform a pumpkin carving demonstration, from which we
received hand-made thank you cards
from all the children.
On a larger level, with the help of the
Alabama Council of the AIA, the chapter was able to send eight students to
the architecture school at UNC-Charlotte for the fall semester’s South Quad
Conference. Students enjoyed touring
the school, participating in workshops,
and hearing lectures from prominent
architects of Charlotte.
FORUM
Sixteen Auburn students just returned
from the annual national conference,
FORUM, held this year in Milwaukee. Many of us didn’t know where
Milwaukee was exactly, and we surely
underestimated the weather conditions. The wind chill kept us in the
hotel and conference center a lot of the
time, but we did venture outside for
tours, charettes, and workshops. At
FORUM, the Auburn Chapter received
an Honorable Mention for the Chapter
Honor Award, an Honorable Mention for the Chapter President Award
for last year’s president Anna Bevill,
a Community Service Award for our
“5th Grade Architecture Project”
outreach program in which students
went out into local schools and taught
5th-graders about architecture, and
our own David Hinson received the
Educator Honor Award! An Auburn
student placed 2nd in the Design
Charette held at UW-Milwaukee’s
School of Architecture and Urban
Planning, and a project submitted by
three Auburn 5th-year students won
first prize in the Design Review competition. The finale and highlight of
FORUM was the Beaux Arts Ball held
at the Milwaukee Art Museum designed by Santiago Calatrava. As we
danced below, the brise soleil wings
opened and closed. Lastly, some of the
best news from FORUM are the results
from the national elections, in which
both the President and Vice-President
positions were won by representatives
of the South Quad, JW Blanchard from
Southern Polytechnic State University
(President) and Deana Moore from
UNC-Charlotte (VP).
As a chapter, we were able to send so
many students to FORUM only because of the support provided by the
Alabama Council of the AIA. We paid
for the students’ hotel, registration,
and even a stipend for travel. Without
the Alabama Council AIA’s help, none
of us would have been able to attend.
Thank you again for your support.
Other AIAS Events
The Annual AIAS Internship Fair was
held on the 11 and 12 of February at
the Auburn Hotel and Conference
Center. If you did not register and
want to order a Resume Book filled
with 150 resumes of Auburn students,
you can contact Jennifer Smith at [email protected].
Fine Arts Week took place during
the week of February 25-29, ending
on that Friday with our own Annual
Beaux Arts Ball. A Fine Arts Committee was organized to take on all
the planning for this series of weeklong events. The Spring South Quad
Conference will be held the 28 February through 2 March in Miami; we
are planning on sending around eight
students to this regional conference.
Still to come is the 3rd Annual Field
Day held in the Bibb Graves Amphitheater just outside Dudley Hall.
As the largest chapter in the nation,
this and subsequent years have and
will be focused on bringing Auburn
to the forefront on the national stage.
We are advocating improving the
quality of education we receive at
Auburn, along with making sure there
is awareness to a broader audience of
what we have learned about education. With the Accreditation Review
Conference (ARC) held every five
years coming up this year, the Auburn AIAS chapter held a Town Hall
meeting in Dudley Hall to discuss
candidly our education and what we
as students want for the future. This
meeting was video recording and
notes were taken to be given to the
ARC. Also, the current national AIAS
president Andrew Caruso came down
to Auburn and out to the Rural Studio
to hold another round table discussion
about the role of community service
in our education and profession. This
meeting was cited by him at FORUM
as the best discussion he’s been able to
participate in as president.
Auburn is certainly a unique place,
and our chapter of the AIAS is more
than just “the biggest.” We are serving
and advocating for our members first;
we are active in and helping our community second; and third we are gaining the deserved attention and making
a difference on a national level.
Thank you again for your support of
the Auburn Chapter of the American
Institute of Architecture Students.
