[email protected] Chapter Advisors Heather McIntire, IIDA Department of State [email protected] SUSAN IVES, IIDA, LEED AP What a difference a year can make! Last year, the Mid-Atlantic Chapter (MAC) was setting short, mid, and long-term goals with the focus on growth, growth, and more growth. With our industry and profession facing some of the greatest challenges in its short history the idea of growth has come into question. Instead we’re now asking: How does the MidAtlantic Chapter add value? The Mid-Atlantic Chapter is in a good place. Under the capable leadership of the 2008/2009 MAC Board and President, Jim Williamson we have added value to our membership. We are on firm financial ground. Membership numbers are steady and we’ve even seen an increase in student membership. As you can see in The Premiere article in this issue, our signature events are going strong. Coming from a place of strength allows us to build on our past success and take a hard look at how we can be more strategic in our thinking. In an effort to better focus our resources, the MAC Board took a look at our city centers. As a result of this discussion, the Annapolis City Center will merge with the Baltimore City Center at the end of 2009. Ann Pierson, current Annapolis City Center Director, will serve out her term on the Baltimore council. Members who are now affiliated with Annapolis will choose either the Washington Metro City Center or Baltimore City Center when they renew their membership this fall. The 2009 Annapolis calendar will remain the same and Annapolis will still hold the wildly successful cruise in August. Amy Cohen, Associate IIDA, LEED AP Huelat Parimucha Healing Design [email protected] Sabrina Adewumi, IIDA Student George Washington University [email protected] 2 This year we’ve leveraged technology to improve our member interface. Our weekly e-blasts and the ability to pay on-line by credit card has improved our efficiency and provided convenience to our members. During my term 2009/2010 I will encourage the MAC Board to build on these successes and take a hard look at ways to improve. On June 25th, the Chapter Board transitioned and the new Board took over. This transition occurred as many notions such as growth are being challenged. For example, as Interior Design professionals we’re all familiar with the oxymoron “less is more.” The idea of offering value and not “more stuff” is captured in a quote from Bill McKibben’s book Deep Economy. “Bill McKibben offers the biggest challenge in a generation to the prevailing view of our economy. For the first time in human history, he observes, “more” is no longer synonymous with “better”—indeed, for many of us, they have become almost opposites.” IIDA’s Mid-Atlantic Chapter leadership put this advice into practice at our retreat on July 25th in Baltimore. We examined our activities identifying those that add value to our members and those that may tax our resources without a commensurate return. We also looked at our most valuable resource, our volunteers, and how they are facilitated or hindered by our processes. Our over-arching goal is to continue to provide value to our membership and align our efforts with the needs of our membership without compromise.

Speared by a strong group of volunteers who joined the planning team, the committee has already produced five programs in 2009. Each program has explored topics that have introduced new strategies and resources to the participants. The meetings are hosted by design firms and showrooms who generously offered to be part of this new series of programs. So far this year: OTJ hosted a materials program based on the popular Story of Stuff video [http://www.storyofstuff. com/] with Annie Leonard; the Steelcase showroom hosted a timely program on LEED 2009; IA, Interior Architects hosted “How to Salvage a Project” that focused on I maximizing the salvage potential of both demolition and new construction projects; Kimball Office hosted a program on the remarkable Whole Building Design Guide [http://www.wbdg. org/] and FOX ARCHITECTS hosted a program on maximizing the Daylighting & Views credits. The SWG Planning Team is developing two custom programs on material evaluation that will focus on effective detection of greenwashing and the application of sustainable product standards and their contribution to material knowledge and the environment for September and October. You can keep up with the SWG activities through the weekly “IIDA Events” e-mail that goes out to our friends and members. The SWG Planning Team looks forward to seeing you at our fall programs.

BCC membership chairs Kären Welsko and Amy Tate planned the event around a “Back to Basics Baltimore” theme, including locally brewed beverages, Berger cookies, and pizza from a local, independent pizzeria. The event was well attended, with approximately 50 potential new members, current members, and sponsors in attendance. Our generous BCC sponsors donated wonderful prizes, including tote bags, gift cards and furniture. The top prize for the evening was a one year membership to IIDA, which was won by Vickie Kalinowski of Arbee Associates.

Baltimore City Center: Government Forum Integral Systems Greg Martin, Industry IIDA highlight of the spring was the BCC Government Forum, a tour of the new corporate headquarters of Integral Systems, Inc. which took place on May 14th. This company provides satellite communications and ground systems for government agencies and private companies. The 130,000 square foot space was designed by Gensler Baltimore and the concept was to highlight the dichotomy of earthly and stellar elements as it relates to Integral’s business. This concept was realized through material use including terrazzo floor tile with sparkling mirror accents, textured stone walls, sleek glass conference room fronts, and lighting concepts, such as lines of light and floating orbs. This was a challenging project as the design and documentation was done in a twelve week period and is also in the process of going for a LEED CI Silver rating. Mary Ellen Evanko, IIDA, LEED AP, was our host for the evening. Baltimore City Center: Corporate Forum - Tour of Sterling Partners Greg Martin, Industry IIDA The Baltimore City Center toured the new corporate headquarters of Sterling Partners, located in Harbor East on March 19th. The nearly 16,000 square foot space was charged with providing fluid exterior views which was accomplished by PLDA Interiors with the design of a frameless butt seamed glass partition system that defines all perimeter offices and conference rooms. This was a full scope interiors 4 project including programming, space planning, construction documents/details, construction administration and furniture/ finish specifications. Paula Worthing NCIDQ, LEED AP, Principal of PLDA Interiors was our host for the evening. Baltimore City Center: Karaoke-4-a-Cause By Polly Houck 2009 ANNAPOLIS CITY CENTER BOARD Director Ann Pierson, IIDA, LEED AP Haworth [email protected] Treasurer Anna Severn National Office [email protected] O n April Fool’s Day, IIDA and BOMA partnered to raise funds for LEAP.

Design Award entries are judged by prominent members of an IIDA chapter in another region, to insure an impartial jury. This year’s jury was from the Northern California Chapter and jurors met in San Francisco to review the entries. Jurors review project photos, plans and concept statements then select the award recipients. The panel of jurors included Debby Weber, IIDA, Eric Engstrom, FIIDA, Severine Secret, IIDA, Carol Disrud, IIDA and Robert Hayes, IIDA, AIA. Twenty-five awards were given to thirteen firms. The Pinnacle Award, the Design Awards’ most prestigious award, went to Gensler for Cassidy & Pinkard Colliers at 2101 L Street, NW in Washington, DC. This project is in the Commercial 20,000 to 100,000 square feet category and the lead designers were Jim Williamson, IIDA, Mariella Buendia-Corrochano, Steve Martin Robert Sollinger, Hansoo Kim, Maria Rucks, Carey Ryder, Andrea Cleveland and Sharyea Mehan. This project also won in the Gold Award category. Three levels of awards, Bronze, Silver and Gold, are recognized in nine categories. The categories include: Commercial under 20,000 square feet; Commercial between 20,000 and 100,000 square feet; Commercial over 100,000 square feet; Educational/Institutional; Health Care; Hospitality; Residential; Local/State/Federal Government; and Retail. This year’s awards ceremony named ten Gold Award winners, five Silver Award winners and five Bronze Award winners. Projects were also considered for Special Merit. The three Merit winners happened to be from the Commercial Under 20,000 square feet. Two of those projects also won in the Gold level. Special recognition was given to another Gold level winner in the Educational/Institutional category. Please see pages 8 & 9 for a complete list of 2009 Design Award winners.

By Frank Norcross, IIDA, AIA A s this issue of The Bridge comes out you have either just returned from NeoCon in Chicago or are lamenting that you did not have the opportunity to attend this year. If you did not attend, I have an economical alternative for you, NeoCon East, October 28-29, 2009 in Baltimore, Maryland. Coming from the government, I have attended this show for years, and it gets bigger and better each year. True, this show does tend to emphasize products that the government tends to buy, and GSA is a major supporter. This however, is an advantage this year because the government is spending a lot of money, while the private sector market is down. Consider the following reasons for attending • NeoCon East is the largest of the regional Merchandise Mart shows. • 73,000 SF houses 290 Exhibitors and 49 seminars, and you don’t have to cope with the Merchandise Mart elevators. • 7,864 Attended the show and 3,928 persons attended the 49 seminars in 2008. Many of the seminars are free. • The second day is traditionally student day. 965 students from the Mid-Atlantic Region attended last year. See the attached graphic. • The opening night party is always great fun, and is a great place to network. The party provides an enjoyable evening if you plan to spend the night in Baltimore. • The show is a short driving distance from most cities of the Mid-Atlantic Region. Washington, DC – 40 miles. Annapolis, MD – 32 miles. Wilmington, DE – 75 miles. Philadelphia, PA – 106 miles. Richmond, VA - 152 miles. Norfolk, VA – 240 miles. • IIDA HQ and the Mid-Atlantic Chapter share a booth at the show just inside the Pratt Street entrance to the exhibit floor.

The project was designed by Bowie Gridley Architects and constructed by Kirby & Sons. The 39,000 square-foot-space facility maintains the standards of environmental sustainability and according to Tim Lovett, AIA, of Bowie Gridley Architects, is in the process of being certified as a LEED-NC Gold Building by the USGBC. The certification will likely happen by the end of this year. What was most interesting about this tour was that it was hosted by the Students and Faculty who use the space which gave a great perspective of what is really important to the people who actually use the space. species requiring less fertilizer and water. Interior “green” features include furnishings and flooring either recycled from the former gym or made from recycled/renewable sources, water-conserving plumbing fixtures, and Forest Stewardship Council certified cabinetry. The building also includes a cistern to collect rain water to use in the heating and cooling process. A highlight of the new building is a vegetative roof which minimizes heat accumulation. The view of this unique rooftop garden from the running track is spectacular. “Green” aspects of the exterior also include storm water quantity, quality control, and landscaping using native www.milicillc.com [email protected] 703 483 9023 specializing in the contract office furniture marketplace 11 Honoring our Presidents and FIIDA Members By Frank Norcross, IIDA, AIA IIDA Mid Atlantic Chapter Presidents 2009-2010 Susan Ives, IIDA, LEED-AP 2008-2009 James D.

I am married and we have a cat, Mika, and three hermit crabs. Where did you study design? What was the emphasis of your study? (Architecture, interior design, other)? I received my MFA in Interior Design from the George Washington University. I passed the NCIDQ exam in Fall 2008 and I passed the LEED-CI Exam in 2007. What did you enjoy or excel at in school? Concept development, model building and digital rendering. What is your employer’s name and your job description or title? I work for VOA Associates as a project designer. What I do from day-to day depends on the project phase. I’m currently managing the LEED documentation for two projects that are starting the Construction Administration phase. What do you like most about your current job? That I learn a new skill on every project and that I’m pushed to think about design in new ways. How and why did you come to interior design as a career choice? Design is my 2nd career. During my undergraduate years, I was a political science/international relations and Spanish major. I was drawn to design because of its political dimensions. The built environment can influence and affect how people think, interact and feel. What was your first job in design? My school internship at Hickok Cole Architects turned into my first job. I was fortunate to have a great first job. Why and when did you join IIDA? I joined both IIDA and ASID while I was a student. I’ve maintained both memberships in my professional career. Both memberships bring excellent opportunities for professional development. Who or what has been your biggest motivator in your life or career? Curiosity and a desire for knowledge. What do you do or where do you go when you need to “escape”? I go to an art museum; they are sacred places to me. With what interests, hobbies, charities, or other organizations are you involved? Every month, my husband and I volunteer at a soup kitchen called Open Table by cooking and serving meals. We’re both devoted to Greenpeace, Environment America and the Washington Humane Society. As far as hobbies, I take dance classes, do yoga, swim, collect records (mostly soul, Brazilian jazz, 80’s Britpop), and just picked up golf as my most newest sport. I don’t like to sleep much. What is you favorite comfort food? Sushi What else do you want to say in THE BRIDGE – briefly? As the WMCC Forum Coordinator, I’m looking forward to helping bring intriguing design programs and events to the members. In addition, I hope that we can tap into the creative energy and talents of our student members. I’m always looking for new ideas. If you could be another designer living or past who might that be? I admire the work of Matali Crassat, Masamichi Katayama, George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg, Yves Behar and John Maeda. I’m enjoying the process of becoming the designer that I want to be. 13 IIDA Mid-Atlantic Membership and the National Building Museum The Washington Metro City Center has joined the National Building Museum at the Corinthian Level for 2009 This membership will provide the WMCC with a vendor neutral location to hold events, and it also provides many other benefits to all IIDA MAC members!
