WELCOME TO ABX
ABX excites me every year—and this year
will be no exception. The Boston Society
of Architects is unique in its ability to
produce this event for the building industry,
and prides itself on bringing all facets of
the A/E/C community together for this
annual, three-day event.
What I love most about ABX is the energy
and activity you experience by attending
the conference sessions and the exhibits.
You learn from industry experts, find
that product you’ve been waiting for, and reconnect with former
colleagues. The quality of the exhibitions on the show floor is topnotch and created in collaboration with BSA members, local vendors
and contractors, and emerging professionals. There is something
to discover in every aisle of the tradeshow.
This year’s expanded conference program features brand new
tracks on High Performance topics, Technology, Healthcare, and
Education as well as a track of sessions designed for Executive-level
firm principals and owners.
Understanding the importance of networking, ABX provides ample
networking and professional development opportunities for everyone
in the A/E/C industry, right in Boston. Between the education, interactive exhibit hall experience, and networking, the value of attending
ABX simply can’t be beat.
I’ll see you and your colleagues at ABX this November.
FOUNDATION
A charitable sister organization
to the Boston Society of Architects,
its goal is to use design to promote
the public good. The Foundation
supports a wide range of activities
that illuminate the ways that

HIGHLIGHTS
TINY HOUSE
A brother-sister design-build
team gives a whole new meaning to DIY with this Luxury Tiny
House project. Tracey Powell is
a long-time Associate member
of Boston Society of Architects,
and her brother Trever Powell
is a commercial electrician.
They grew up building homes
alongside their parents and will
be building this “Lil’Lodge” for
six months leading up to ABX.
CONSULTANTS
Evelyn Audet Lighting—Lighting Consultant
C.A. Pretzer—Structural Engineer
David Salo Photography—Photographer
DiMella Shaffer—Virtual Design
As the “Tiny” house movement sweeps
the nation, most homeowners’ top
priority is affordability, often forfeiting
quality, technology, and even regulations.
Lil’Lodge seeks to meet all of these
criteria, while proposing best practices
for the growing community of mobile
off-the-grid homes. DiMella Shaffer’s
Virtual Design Studio will present
Lil’Lodge via 3D goggles.
PROJECT PRINCIPLES
Safety This tiny house strives to meet
residential codes and regulations including
building, energy, fire, life safety, security,
and transportation.
Sustainability Products are being mindfully specified for high energy efficiency
and low environmental impact.
Durability Materials are long-lasting, lowmaintenance, and designed to withstand
vibration and high winds during transport.
Functionality Building elements are
compact, lightweight, and serve
multiple purposes—beautiful but not
purely decorative.
Technology The design integrates
numerous high-end high-tech innovations,
many not found in full-size homes.

URBAN
LIVING LAB
Do you live in the city? How
small is your apartment?… and
why does it cost so much?
WHAT’S IN is a housing research initiative.
By reducing living footprint and employing
more shared programs, we propose
affordable urban living solutions for our
growing cities. The exhibit will tell the
stories of real people adapting to living
small, and innovative projects that are
challenging the perception of smallness.
We will also demonstrate how smart
designs could upgrade tiny apartments
through a full-scale mock up.

The Politics of Design in Boston
BSAC1 | Tuesday, 1:30pm–3:00pm
Sponsored by Boston Home Magazine
Phaidon is the premier global
publisher of the creative arts with
over 1,500 titles in print.
Sponsored by ArchitectureBoston Magazine
Join Boston Home Editor Rachel Slade
for a panel discussion on the politics of
design in our city. While there are certainly
talented architects and visionary builders
in our midst, what truly influences which
plans are approved and who gets hired?
A traditional city, Boston often stays
stuck in the past—but why?
Phaidon works with the world’s most
influential artists, chefs, writers and
thinkers to produce innovative books on
architecture, design, art, photography,
fashion, food and travel, and illustrated
books for children.
The Bookshop will also host afternoon
coffee chats with some of our media
partners:
Architects agree that the benefits of
drawing are deep and abiding, that the
tradition of the architectural grand
tour—traveling abroad to sketch what
you see—can profoundly affect the
experience of a place. To draw plans
and sections is to reverse engineer some
portion of the process by which the
building or space had to be created.
Join Debi McDonald AIA, senior associate
at NBBJ, at the ABX Bookshop for a
conversation with other practitioners
about the value of seeing and recording
the built environment through drawing.
BSAC2 | Wednesday, 1:30pm–3:00pm
Is the Pen Mightier than the CAD?
BSAC3 | Thursday, 1:30pm–3:00pm
Sponsored by Design New England Magazine
Has the value of hand drawing been lost
in the age of computer aided design?
We say nay and so do practitioners who
find invaluable creativity and insight in
the traditional sketch. Still, there is no
question CAD and now 3D modeling
have advanced the architect’s ability
to communicate and create. Why both
methods should be part of your tool box.

Using Human Centered Design
to Solve (Spatial) Problems
SB2 | 1:00pm–4:00pm
True innovation comes from ensuring
that we meet the needs of people. This
3-hour workshop will walk participants
through a human centered approach,
using design thinking processes and
tools to understand the existing experience, identify opportunity areas and
design an ideal transportation experience
that meets the needs of passengers and
employees. This hands-on experience
will make participants rethink how they
approach and tackle the problems
they face every day.

Making sure your imagination isn’t
limited by your construction team.
Evolved training by the Carpenters Union
is highlighted in three active and passive
displays; a live demonstration of intricate
flooring work being completed by an
INSTALL-certified member, infection
control risk assessment for construction
in occupied health facilities, and a
combination of building envelope and
exterior panel installation. Investment
in curriculum development and facilities
challenges carpenters to take the most
innovative, modern projects from
imagination to reality. Looking good
on paper isn’t good enough.

dome at TU Delft, illustrate
the versatility of cardboard
as a building material will be
the focus of this year’s design.
The space will also show
examples of completed and
on-going projects, and other
cardboard structures. Learn

CONTINUING EDUCATION
Earn all the continuing-education credits
you need for the year at ABX.
Architects, landscape architects, construction supervisors, and other industry
professionals can earn continuing-education credits by attending ABX workshops.
Attendees earn one (1) AIA Learning
Unit for each workshop hour (e.g., 1.5
LUs for a 90-minute workshop) with the
exception of tours, from which travel
time may be subtracted. In addition, to
meet credit requirements for Health,
Safety and Welfare (HSW) look for those
workshops with the HSW notation in
the Attendee Program. Please note that
AIA/CES no longer requires Sustainable
Design as part of your overall continuingeducation requirement.
To track continuing-education credits,
AIA members must include their membership number when registering. If you are
not an AIA member, please email your
request for a certificate of attendance
to [email protected].
Note for Massachusetts architects:
Massachusetts registered architects
must earn a minimum of 12 credits
annually, including 8 credits on Health,
Safety and Welfare (HSW) topics.
AIA architects must earn a minimum
of 18 credits annually, including 12
HSW topics.
GROUP REGISTRATION
Interested in bringing your colleagues with
you? Groups of five or more are eligible
to take advantage of our Group Registration service. You’ll have a “registration
concierge” who will help you register your
group in one transaction, and you’ll also
earn complimentary workshops based on
your group’s total spend.
To participate, contact Sara Garber,
Program Manager, at 617-391-4021 or
[email protected].
SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships are available for the
Conference program. You can easily apply
online at www.abexpo.com/conference/
scholarships/. Applications are due
Wednesday, September 30.
Tony Platt Scholarships
BSA scholarships have been established
for industry professionals who, without
scholarship assistance, could not afford
to attend ABX. Established in memory of
Tony Platt FAIA, a Boston architect and
visionary who died in 1998, these scholarships cover up to two ABX workshops.
At the heart of Tony’s vision was a commitment to broadening the intellectual and
professional opportunities for everyone in
the industry.

IBM has used predictions from Big Data
to anticipate Steampunk as an enduring,
mainstream design trend. Steampunk
design is now influencing how corporations, hotels, restaurants, clubs—can use
relevant, period object, history, art, data
and technology to meet architecture and
design challenges—turning the intangibles
of raw information, history and ‘black
box’ technology into tangible, meaningful and creative architecture and art to
emotionally connect with their consumers
and clients. Steampunk is more than
a passing fad—the Steampunk design
philosophy and approach can inform the
way we make meaning out of our work.
Steampunk’s quality of thinking in and
combining opposites—past and present,
art and science, form and function can
help repurpose and transform design with
meaningful, creative connections into
our past, present and future. Learn about
the coolest aesthetic now going on in
object and architectural design—
STEAMPUNK. A retro-future art and
design style that infuses modern technology into period objects, rooms, homes,
offices, restaurants, hotels and even whole
mill building complexes! Our Steampunk
Design workshop will be led by Bruce
Rosenbaum, Founder of ModVic LLC—
a Steampunk Art and Design company
based in Sharon MA. Bruce has recently
been dubbed the Steampunk Guru by
the Wall Street Journal.

Exposures to and Potential Health
Effects from Chemicals in Buildings
10:00am–11:30am | 1.5 LU
Sponsor: BSA Sustainability Education
Committee
This session establishes the reason for
concern regarding chemical ingredients
in products, our behaviors and their
long-term impacts on our collective
health. Indoor pollution tends to be 2-5 to
more than 100 times higher than outdoor
pollution because of the building materials
we use, the way air moves through the
space, and the products used by and
activities of the occupant. This is a timely
topic in the design profession, particularly
as firms are taking a stance on “healthy”
materials and as third-party ratings
systems gain traction in more stringent
requirements for chemical ingredients
reporting. (Look for Part 1 on p.24, Part 3
on p.29 and Part 4 on p.31)

has become a leader in innovation, certain
policies and systems have for too long
lagged woefully behind. The past couple
of years have been rebuilding years for

business is done in order to create an
agency that is reflective of the world-class
city it has helped to build.
Design Assist is one of many new project
approaches being used to achieve the
goal of delivering a better project at a
better value. Design Assist supports
efforts to involve trade contractors earlier
in a project to establish stronger budget
certainty, provide better and faster coordination, and deliver shorter schedules.

Extreme Design: Air Movement
to Achieve Green Certification
1:30pm–3:00pm | 1.5 LU
1:30pm–3:00pm | HSW
With the sharing economy nudging
traditional ideas of ownership aside, the
way we think about space is evolving.
When the milieu is residential life, what
arises when private property is rented
out to a paying public, as is the case with
Airbnb? Investor-owners in condominium
developments without strict regulations
about the minimum length of rentals are
in conflict with occupant-owners seeking
to control access to their private property.
Is this turmoil influencing architecture
and design?
The U.S. green building market is projected to earn $145 billion this year. The
new challenge is not just going green, but
staying on top of cutting-edge research
and innovation. This course focuses on
achieving LEED, Green Globes and the
Living Building Challenge certification by
shifting the focus of HVAC systems from
the thermostat to building occupants.
We’ll follow air movement modeling from
theory to application, drawing lessons
from designers in the process.

Since glazed aluminum curtain walls are
performance driven, designers need to
provide specific performance criteria to be
applied in evaluating, engineering, testing,
production, construction, and commissioning. There are numerous environmental
factors to consider when designing curtain
walls, including determining the structural
loads resulting from wind and seismic
forces, and periodic façade maintenance
operations. Temperature change, as well
as external and internal loads imposed
on the supporting building structure can
affect movement.

humanitarian crises, and a changing
climate threatening displacement of
economically weak communities, the
need for socially relevant architecture
is pronounced. AFHBoston, affiliated
with an active national and international
chapter network as well as the BSA,
provides volunteer design services for
non-profits and marginalized communities.
In this one-hour workshop, AFHBoston
volunteer Cahal Stephens and other
AFHBoston volunteers will talk about
recent developments with the national
chapter of Architecture for Humanity,
the relevance of the new chapter network,
and projects that AFHBoston is currently
working on. The discussion will include
projects in Nepal, Madagascar, and
Haiti, along with some local projects.
There will also be a discussion about
the challenges of working remotely and
communicating with distant, culturally
unfamiliar places.

This course contains everything
non-engineers need to know about the
basic function and operation of HVAC,
plumbing, fire protection, and electrical
building systems in an easy-to-understand
way. Included is the difference between
certain systems, what they are, how they
operate, and samples of what buildings
they are in. It will cover how to incorporate
the systems into the design of a building
based on function, performance, clearances, and why systems are used within
different buildings.

A Systematic Approach to
Evaluating the Building Envelope
6:00pm–7:30pm | 1.5 LU
Building envelope systems require routine
maintenance, periodic restoration and
eventual replacement. Often, incorrect
assumptions are made regarding origin of
problems, leading to improper/inadequate
repairs. Presenters will demonstrate a
systematic approach to conducting
an envelope study. Since the quality of
an evaluation has a direct effect upon
the ability to develop tight design document, the presentation will reveal that a
thorough evaluation can save expenses
during construction, limit change orders,
and/or after construction (i.e., service life).
This presentation analyzes ‘The Cost of
LEEDv4’, a study put together by the
panelists and published by BuildingGreen.
The study highlights ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ costs
of administering LEEDv4 (NC) projects—
considering US northeastern price norms.
Each credit and concept in LEEDv4 is
explained through costing exercises
which can be used to help teams tackling
LEEDv4 projects, helping them to align
costs across multiple credits to maximize
impact while managing real budgetary
constraints.

be a problem in health care facilities: an
estimated 1.7 million patients contract
HAIs and 99,000 patients die from these
infections annually. Studies indicate
contaminants released during construction
and renovation activities result in about
5,000 of these deaths. Several entities are
involved in efforts to reduce the number
of HAIs: state and federal agencies and
organizations, healthcare and infection
control professionals, and increasingly,
construction professionals. In the ICRA:
Best Practices in Health Care Construction
course, participants will become familiar
with the Infection Control Risk Assessment tool and best practices that can be
used to protect everyone in the healthcare
environment during construction and
renovation.
This color science workshop reviews the
basics of color perception along with
metrics to understand light quality. The
relationship between lighting color metrics
such as CRI, Gamut Area and CCT will

the vision, planning, design, and construction stages are often organized and led by
different teams with different approaches.
Creating and enabling an integrated

New computational techniques and tools
can have a positive impact on design
quality throughout the design process,
but especially in conceptual design,
when global, high-impact decisions are
made. This session focuses on tools
that link conceptual design decisions
in architecture to quantitative and
qualitiative performance metrics, such
as structural material volume, energy
consumption, daylighting quality, and
formal and spatial qualities. Developed
by the Digital Structures research group
at MIT, these tools emphasize design
over analysis, aiming to help designers
explore a wide range of diverse, surprising, and high-performing alternatives for
conceptual design problems. The goal of
the session is to introduce these new tools
through several interactive design case
studies with involvement from workshop
participants and panelists. Participants
will learn strategies for using the tools in

focused insight on the leadership and
policy driving practice advancement and
market transformation.
Solar control is one of the most fundamental aspects of building design and
performance. Preference for particular
building orientations is based largely
on the ability to use shading to control
the sun, and yet so few buildings employ
automatic internal shades, external
shading or both. This workshop will use
quantitative and qualitative analysis
to examine the diverse values of shading
devices and provide participants
with take-aways for defending them

6:00pm–7:30pm | 1.5 LU
Explore the role of educational/medical
institutions as patrons of contemporary
architecture shaping 21st century Boston.
Hear from the Boston Redevelopment
Authority, who will discuss the general
landscape of contemporary architecture
in Boston and the role of institutions in
it. This workshop will also include a panel
discussion featuring architects of many
notable projects shaping the contemporary image of Boston.
The Design-Build approach to a
construction project is a great way to
build teamwork and unity at the start
of a project, and is quickly becoming
an industry standard, while providing
architects greater efficiency in time spent
on the project. Building relationships and
team-focused attitudes by having open
communication regarding all phases of
the project will help shape the success
of the project and provide the utmost
satisfaction to the client/owner.
A career in architecture can have many
trajectories, but one common path is
starting your own practice. A panel of
architects from newly established firms
will share how they questioned, evaluated, strategized and planned to make a
mid-career transition. The conversation
will include a discussion about recent
challenges, design goals, successes, and
their vision for the future. Learn how to
understand and evaluate the goals, risks
and the rewards of starting a new firm.

6:00pm–7:30pm | 1.5 LU
Boston’s historic Fenway/Kenmore
neighborhood is home to some of
the City’s most venerable cultural and
academic institutions. Four new mid-rise
academic dormitory buildings are revitalizing this neighborhood, creating new
communities, and adding lively new public
settings. Together, these projects illustrate
a range of housing prototypes, and
offer amenities including dining, learning,
medical, conference and performance
spaces. They provide varying approaches
to institutional visibility, street presence
and security, all while accommodating
diverse needs.
This seminar addresses recurrent issues
in plaster ceiling assemblies that building
professionals and craftsmen are called in
by owners to address. Learn to spot types
of deterioration and potential hidden
risks in lime and fiber-reinforced gypsum
plaster ceilings. Levels of inspection,
diagnostic tools and documentation
systems will be compared to understand
options for each situation. Learn about
repair and stabilization methods for
typical kinds of plaster damage—and
when to leave it alone.

Branding a professional services firm is
thorny business, particularly so in the
A/E/C industry. There are no hard and fast
rules, but there are certainly best practices
to implement and pitfalls to avoid. In
this presentation, we will unpack brand
strategy for A/E/C firms with a road map,
glossary, and best practices based on
case studies.
Confused about the differences between
the ADA Standards and the regulations
of the Massachusetts Architectural Access
Board? One of these years the federal
and state access requirements will
harmonize, but until that happens, we’ll
be offering this workshop. Critical issues
include employee-only areas; when an
elevator is required; when alterations
catapult a project into full compliance
with accessibility regulations; and design
differences for ramps, toilet rooms, etc.

10:00am–11:30am | 1.5 LU
How resilient is East Boston? East Boston
is under the threat of present and future
coastal flooding and extreme precipitation, and needs to protect its resources
and assets. The Urban Land Institute
(ULI) in conjunction with Neighborhood
of Affordable Housing with the financial
support of the Kresge Foundation, have
conducted a Technical Assistance Program
(TAP) to study the impacts that climate
change has on transportation, utilities, and
planning. Join us as we share our findings.
For decades, “public engagement” has
too often meant professionals and public
officials making decisions and creating
designs that then get presented in one
or two evening meetings for comment;
a frustrating effort that puts all participants in a defensive mode, and sidelines
significant segments of the population.
It’s time for a different approach.
How do you go about setting your project
up for success? Lean Project Delivery
provides significant value in the early
stages of the project. This discussion
reviews actions owners and their advisors
can take in the early stages of their
projects to better leverage the benefits
of Lean Project Delivery. Team selection,
Integrated Project Delivery contracting
strategies, value stream organization,
Target Value Design, and project production system design will all be discussed.

Window technologies have changed
considerably in recent years. There are
so many trades names for glazing
technologies and coatings that it’s
difficult for builders, architects and
specifiers to sort through the technical
jargon to match the right product to
the climate. New technologies can reduce
solar gains by 75% and reduce heat
loss by 300% over traditional products.
Specifying the wrong window technology
in the wrong climate can INCREASE
energy costs.
Steve Easley, owner, Steve Easley

In recent years, manufacturers have
developed new flooring materials meant
to be more sustainable. Unfortunately,
these changes are often at the expense
of durability. The consequence of using
“green” materials without understanding
of their limitations can be flooring failure,
requiring replacement at a significant
environmental (and monetary) cost. This
workshop will review LEED credits available for flooring system components and
examine how a system can be designed
to meet these requirements without
sacrificing durability.
How are designers, fabricators and manufacturers using the digital fabrication to
create new forms and what opportunities
do they see for the future? What are some
recent examples of innovation in concrete
envelope design? The presenters will
explore the collaborative process behind
the digital fabrication and shed light on
future trends in the industry. Through
two case studies, the group will highlight
the specific challenges and opportunities
project teams face.

Why would you select cabinetry
“Our Go-To Source”
from Crown Point?
“Crown Point has become our go-to
cabinetry source, providing well crafted
product at a very competitive price
point. And their customer support is
unparalleled, sales reps are always on
top of the issue, responsive and helpful.”
-Architect; Brooklyn, NY
“Excels In The Details”
“Crown point produces a really good
cabinet, on time, and provides good
customer service. The area that Crown
Point excels is that they can see the
spirit of a design of the entire project
and then capture elements and details
of that spirit in the cabinets they make.”
-Architect; Chandler, AZ
“Kitchen For My Own Home”
“Before I suggested Crown Point Cabinetry to my clients I had them build a
kitchen for my own home. I wanted to
know first hand how designing a kitchen long distance would work. Since that
first project, I have happily introduced
my clients to Crown Point and have enjoyed working with them on numerous
kitchens. The design team is meticulous
and easy to reach, the construction and
finishes are beautiful and the cabinets
arrive safely and on time. Every time.”
-Architect; Mercer Island, WA
“Should Have Gone With You”
“We know how every dollar counts in
a project, but it can be easy to overlook
the hidden costs. We chose a different
cabinetmaker for our last project and
ran into delays, incomplete delivery,
and what turned out to be far lesser
quality. We’re sure you’ve heard this before, but we have to say it: We should’ve
gone with you!”
-Architect; Fairfax, VA
Come by and say “Hello!”
We’re in Booth #704!
