NEWS FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS | ANNUAL EDITION 2007 | www.idibc.org DETAILS One: Message from the President Three: Best of Show Electronic Arts Canada Six: IDIBC A History in the making SPRING FORWARD PLATINUM SPONSOR 01 | MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT DETAILS 2007 DETAILS PREFACE Written by Judith Horvath, RID IDC, Interim President IDIBC Spring 2007 I AM SADDENED TO LET ALL MEMBERS KNOW THAT PRESIDENT Jim Toy is on an extended medical leave. We all wish Jim a complete recovery and a speedy return to his work and IDIBC. As a transition measure, the IDIBC Board appointed me as interim President at the Board meeting on February 21, 2007. I am happy to say that there is a great team with lots of experience on the Board so the business of IDIBC is in good hands. I would like to thank everyone who offered their support and assistance during this transition. The year started off with a flurry of activities to confirm sponsors and signing up new ones. The Sponsorship Committee did a fantastic job by finalizing all sponsor commitments by mid January. This was crucial because sponsors play a key role in our delivery of programs. We recognize their generous contributions by acknowledging them at the IDIBC Awards of Excellence and Design Northwest. We greatly appreciate all our sponsors’ support. We want to thank the Sponsorship Committee for their hard work. Another big thank you and congratulation is in order to the Awards and Events Committees for delivering a fantastic Awards event this year. It was a great venue, with good food, wine, company and fantastic design. Congratulations to all the designers who entered their work. The booth at Design Northwest was also a wonderful success; we had lots of people stop by to chat. We also want to thank Inform, one of our Silver Sponsors, for the loan of their furniture - it sure was an eye-catcher. We had students expressing an interest in joining IDIBC, suppliers offering to volunteer, and a number of new sponsors signed up in those two days. And it doesn’t stop there. The AIBC has graciously offered their gallery space to showcase the designs entered for the Awards of Excellence. The opening night of the Exhibition was March 1, 2007, after which the show was open to the public for a month. This was a great way to see all the fantastic work submitted by our members. Thankfully, spring is upon us. I sure am ready for it. I always feel renewed energy at the signs of spring. I am looking forward to a busy next couple of months of work, school (the dreaded Code course) and play and encourage everyone to come out to events, volunteer and support your association. We have a wonderful design community so get involved as we only get better by working together. Happy spring everyone. IDI 02 | DETAILS 2007 LIGHT RESOURCE: LIGHTING FOR THE AGING EYE WITHIN A DECADE THE BABY BOOMERS IN CANADA WILL REACH THE AGE OF 65 AND OUTNUMBER CHILDREN. TRENDS IN SOCIETY SHOW THAT THE AGING POPULATION’S DEMAND FOR LIGHTING PRODUCTS WILL INCREASE OVER TIME. THROUGHOUT OUR LIFETIME, OUR VISION CHANGES AS OUR eyes age. Newborns lack the visual ability to distinguish between fine details- but our vision evolves. By the time you are a young child, your eyes’ ability to focus on close objects is at its best. Unfortunately, this gradually declines and makes fine tasks such as reading more difficult. Colour discrimination is at its pinnacle until the age of 25. The speed at which the eye is able to adjust to varying light levels tends to also decline with age. Visually appeasing environments where attention is paid to proper indoor and outdoor lighting aid in minimizing vision impairment and distress caused by glare. Individuals undergoing the early stages of crystalline lens or cataract formation may experience veiling glare. This type of glare is experienced when light is scattered within the eye inhibiting one’s vision, even in favourable environments. The following tips should be heeded in order to achieve a setting that enhances visual performance as well as a level of comfort for older adults. • Avoid extremities in lighting contrast. A single light source in a work or living space is least desirable as it may provide too high a contrast. • Pathways to rooms that require being brightly lit should have a lighting plan that gradually accustoms the eye to the higher illumination. • The selection of luminaries should be done with sensitivity to brightness & direct glare issues. • The area surrounding a task should be well lit but no less than a third of the amount on the task area. The remaining area can be lit to as little as one fifteenth of the main light source at the task area. • To avoid reflected glare, television screens, desks and furniture should be arranged so that bright direct or reflected light sources are out of the visual field. Applying these concepts is vital to facilities such as offices, hospitals, community buildings, and residences in order to provide the most comfortable setting for older adults. IDI Platinum Sponsor Light Resource 24 West 2nd Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5Y 1B3 T. 604.688.7541 F.604.688.7597 www.light-resource.com DETAILS 2007 | 03 IDIBC BEST OF SHOW: ELECTRONIC ARTS CANADA ELECTRONIC ARTS (EA), THE WORLD’S LEADING DEVELOPER AND PUBLISHER OF INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT SOFTWARE, CHALLENGED THE PROJECT TEAM TO DESIGN THE NEXT GENERATION OF HIGH PERFORMANCE WORK SPACE FOR EA’S GAME DEVELOPMENT STUDIO EXPANSION. Written by Lara Pisicoli, BID Associate AIA RID, MCM Interiors Ltd. “IF THE EA PHASE I BUILDING COMPLETED IN 1999 WAS version 1.0, then the new Phase II studio building is to be version 4.0”. The design concept is inspired by EA’s business of game development and draws parallels between elements that are just as important to creating interactive video games as they are to creating architecture and design: Light, Movement, Colour/Graphics/Pixelization, Scale, Super reality/dreamlike, Texture and Nature. The Phase II building is a total of 175,000 sq. ft. The ground floor includes shared campus amenity spaces; RecrEAte a Fitness health & wellness center, complete with a NBA regulation sized gymnasium, “Think Tank” a Lounge/café with Starbucks coffee bar, classroom style theatre for 175 people, Conference centre & EA University training facility, as well as a catering kitchen. The four floors of game development studio comprised of a variety of workspaces; meeting rooms, collaborative breakout areas, EA’s concept art display walls, Audio rooms, Video edit rooms, and daily testing rooms. The Phase II building has also been designed to incorporate environmentally responsible solutions and meet LEED Silver requirements for New Construction (Process for certification underway). The design concept and themes were integrated, and articulated throughout the interior design of the studio. Each floor highlights one of the themes through the use of finishes, materials, lighting, Art Graphics and specialty designed workstations located in key focal point areas on each floor. LIGHT: It was important that the design of the interiors provide a sense of change, allowing the studio environment to feel just as cool at night as it feels during the day, coming alive at night with special lighting effects, back-light art and graphics. MOVEMENT: How people circulate through the studio environment was an important design consideration. Views through the Atrium, bridge links, and experience along the Atrium “streets” are exaggerate by the sightlines and activity of people moving through the studio. Finishes also display patterns with movement, and speed.Colour, Graphics, Pixelization: Digital graphics become pixelized when scales change. Large scaled art features are incorporated into the interiors to create focal points. Art created by one of EA’s own artists is applied to the Atrium glazing, and spans four storeys through the building. Along the Ground floor, Artium “street” Art was selected for it’s sport theme, and sense of movement is mounted on back-lite acrylic lightboxes. The Think Tank Lounge/Café is filed with vinyl text graphics of inspirational quotes about innovation, creativity and challenge. TEXTURE: The finishes, textures and patterns selected for the building emphasis the themes of the project. SUPER REALITY: The scale of Art and Graphics, and the lighting effects in the Building create the exaggerated drama and dreamlike quality in the space. IDI 04 | DETAILS 2007 CEU UPDATES Written by Katarina Litva, BA BID RID, CEU Chair THERE ARE SOME NEW PROCEDURES PERTAINING TO THE CEU portfolio. Following is an update with the recent changes to the board at the CEU level for both the National and Provincial positions. Evelyn Heywood was the past Provincial CEU chair for IDIBC, and at the same time she held the National chair position. Since Evelyn’s departure in December Katarina Litva has taken over the provincial chair position and the National chair position has been taken over by Sue Gravelle from ARIDO. In order for IDIBC members to obtain CEU recognition by NCIDQ an IDC (Interior Designers of Canada) course number is required. This course number is assigned by the National chair once a course has been approved by the National CEU committee. As the National chair is no longer in BC the time line for receiving approval from the National level is longer as there is a formal process that needs to be followed. Please be aware that the Provincial CEU chair and committee are working with the National CEU representatives to ensure we have accredited CEUs offered in BC. Your patience is appreciated as the provincial chair transitions into the new position. Please read the IDIBC eblasts for new CEU courses and presentations being offered. And in the mean time, there are several on-line sources available for CEU credits that have been approved by IDC, such as… • American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) • Association of Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO) • International Interior Design Association (IIDA) • Interior and Sources Magazine • Continuing Education Series (Select CEUs from this series are reprinted in Design Quarterly magazine) • National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ): NCIDQ monograph series can be ordered on-line • Metropolis Magazine Continuing Education Program – New as of December ‘06 IDI DETAILS 2007 | 05 2006 AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE Written by Jennifer Kurtz, BID RID, Awards Chair LIKE MOST THINGS, THE EFFORTS THAT you put into something - be it a project, preparing a gourmet dinner, an Awards Event, whatever the case may be- is usually relative to the end result. The 2006 Awards of Excellence were tremendously rewarding for me. No, I didn’t win an award, but the sense of accomplishment and being part of a great team putting in countless hours of hard work was more than worth it. While our submissions for the Awards this year was on the low side, the quality of the work submitted was of very high caliber as noted by the judges and local design critics. The ticket sales were very successful for the Awards Gala, which was held on Tuesday, February 13, 2007 at the Paramount Theatres. We had a fantastic turn out for the event. Appetizers provided by Peake of Catering and cocktails set the stage for a great evening. Russell Porter and Deanna Hayko entertained us in Paramount’s Theatre 4. Champagne and chocolate awaited us as we left the Theatre and continued the celebration. Thank you Paramount Theatres and Earls Restaurants, for donating the “Dinner and a Movie Door Prize”. Thank you to our Judges this year, Beverly Barrett, Trevor Kruse and Bruce Wardrope. Thank you everyone for supporting the 2006 IDIBC Awards of Excellence, and a huge thank to you to all of the volunteers who contributed their time and efforts towards putting together a great event, especially Kerri Shinkewski, Kim Dodge, Kim Soper, and Kasia Zaleski. Thank you to those who have set such a high standard for the Awards in the past, it has made this experience much smoother. Also like most things, no experience is without its challenges, and there is always room for improvement. We welcome your input. Should you have suggestions as to how to make the Awards better or what you would like to see changed, please email your comments to [email protected] and the information will be forwarded to the Awards Committee. IDI EVENTS UPDATE The New Year has been exciting for Member Events and the action keeps going. Design Northwest was a great success. Thanks in part to our beautiful furniture (Thank you Inform), and location (Thank you Design Northwest) our booth attracted a lot of attention and questions. We had a lot of brochures available and our knowledgeable volunteers were always happy to answer questions about our association. It was a wonderful meeting place with a lot of networking and story swapping about the previous nights Awards Party taking place. Coming up this spring we are proud to present, in conjunction with AIBC and BC Wood, the D.V. Mountain Pine Beetle Project. There is an OPEN CALL TO DESIGNERS. We are looking for eight designers who will design and produce consumer facing, or architectural applications, from MPB wood. The wood will be supplied to designers in the form of dimensional cut stock and veneers that will be supplied by BC Wood. Each project will be displayed at two separate events; Design Vancouver 2007 (May 4-6 at Canada Place) and an AIBC Gallery Show (Dates T.B.D.). For more information please contact [email protected]. Deadline for open call is March 14th, 2007. Summer Party – June 28. We are fast approaching one of our most popular events - the IDI Summer Party. Last years event at Hycroft had overwhelming attendance. Once again the IDI, along with our platinum sponsor, Light Resource, are proud to host the summer party but we are switching things up a little this year. There is a new venue, a new theme and a new night - June 28. We encourage you to invite new potential members, sponsors and existing members to join us in the fun. Please watch for your save the date card in the mail for more details. Kasia Zaleski, BAID. RID. V.P. Member Events 06 | DETAILS 2007 IDIBC A HISTORY IN THE MAKING IT SEEMS THAT THERE’S SOMETHING IN OUR WATER THAT’S BEEN AFFECTING BC INTERIOR DESIGNERS. OR MAYBE IT’S THE MOUNTAINS, THE OCEAN AIR, THE HOLES IN THE OZONE LAYER. Written by Sharon Bloedorn, Solofusion YOU SEE, OVER THE LAST 56 YEARS, IDIBC and its members have pioneered a number of “firsts” in the Interior Design scene in a manner that is disproportionate to most other chapters in North America. Rifling through the archives of IDIBC unveils a humble yet determined history. Stemming from a desire to band together in the name of solidarity, recognition and support, the dawn of IDIBC can be dated back to 1950. Early newsletters served as one-page bulletins, typed on what must have been a Smith-Corona or an Olivetti. The initial agenda seemed earnest but quaint, with invitations for Beer and Cheese Parties and the occasional marriage announcement. This congenial charm was more a sign of the times than a lack of professional ambition, however. In 1955, the Institute launched the first Interior Design forum at the Vancouver Hotel, an exposition of the newest and greatest in Interior Design. In 1967, with an attendance of over 10,000 people, the forum won “Best Community Project” at the international American Symphony League Conference held in Los Angeles. Chosen over 200 submissions, the win was IDIBC Circa 2006 the first coup for an organization that would target legal and professional recognition for many years to come. Not one to demand their cake and eat it too, IDIBC supported community events like goodwill ambassadors on too much caffeine. From the Vancouver Symphony and the Women’s Auxiliary, to the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority and The Vancouver College of Art (now Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design), they championed Interior Design in many cultural forums, supporting other organizations along way. There are some who would argue that Western Canada is the younger sibling to Eastern Canada. Not IDIBC. Back in 1964, they decided to take matters into their own hands. Responding to the growing interest in the formation of a national organization, they hosted a conference in Nelson, BC, of all places. Delegates from Alberta and Manitoba showed up. They then wrote to Canadian Interiors magazine, (repeatedly), whose editor voiced the support of a national organization, to offer their solidarity and request information. IDIBC delegates were then invited to a conference, this time in Toronto. They attended with great excite- IDIBC Circa 1957 ment, and finally, in 1972, IDC (Interior Designers of Canada) came into fruition. Next on the agenda was qualification, where BC turned to The Big Apple. The National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) was incorporated in New York in 1972 to serve as a basis for issuing credentials to Interior Designers; to qualify to write the NCIDQ exam, designers required specific education and work experience. In 1974, BC was the first province to join the organization, along with Ontario. By 1982, more than half of IDIBC’s membership voluntarily took the examination and passed. (Currently 60% of all IDIBC members have NCIDQ accreditation.) IDIBC members have also taken on their share of leadership roles, nationally and internationally. Over a quarter of all IDC Presidents have been IDIBC members, (more than any other province in Canada). In 1985, Catherine Youngren was the first Canadian (and female) President of NCIDQ. Not bad for an organization that modestly calls itself “a dedicated bunch.” So, maybe it’s the yoga, the rain, the sushi. Or maybe it’s all the espresso. Whatever it is, I’m having what they’re having. IDI DETAILS 2007 | 07 THANK YOU TO ALL BRONZE SPONSORS Ames Tile & Stone Ltd. Applied Electronics Limited Banner Carpets Ltd.

Congratulations! DETAILS 2007 | 11 ARCHITECTURAL PROFESSIONS ACT Written by Joanne Pocock, RID VP Legal Victoria Meeting: Five members of the negotiating team made a trip to Victoria on March 1st. for an information session on the status of negotiations. The contingent included: David Wilkinson [VP AIBC], Dorothy Barkley [ AIBC exec dir], Joe Rommel, [BDIBC], Don Vaughn [past pres BCSLA], and Keath Seeton (IBIBC). In attendance at the meeting were Architects, Building designers, Interior Designers and a Building Inspector. It was a good meeting that generated questions as to how the process would work, how issues would be resolved and from our members questions on membership categories and how this might affect fees. The concept was well received from the Victoria group with no objections voiced. Current Status: Meetings are ongoing regarding the development of the Architectural Professions Act leading to the signing of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). IDIBC signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) last year. BCLSA is currently working towards development of their MOU. In preparation for the MOA, IDIBC is currently preparing documents and reviewing the following topics: The role-out process, affected business units, RID document stamp, Barrier-free Letters of Assurance, Education, Registration of firms, Insurance, Title Designation, IDIBC affiliates, and By-laws. Also review of AIBC documents, i.e., code of ethics, code of conduct, etc. 2006 Building Code A new building code came into effect in December of last year. The biggest change is that it is published in an objective-based format. The code is organized into three Divisions: Division A – defines the scope of the Code and contains the objectives and functional statements and the conditions necessary to achieve compliance; Division B – contains acceptable solutions (formerly referred to as “technical requirements”) deemed to satisfy the objectives and functional statements listed in Division A. Most of these are carried forward from the 1998 BCBC; and Division C – contains administrative provisions. Another change with this new code may be the format in which you access the information. It may be more convenient to purchase Electronic Versions of BC Building Code. This format provides an easy to use search engine (with the ability to narrow your search to specific parts of the codes; colour-coded change indicators (showing change from the 1998 code); hyperlinks to Application and Intent Statements; hyperlinks to related BC Status and Regulations and updates will be available on the web. The electronic versions of the BC Building Code are also linked to two new types of explanatory material (Intent and Application Statements): - intent statements (detailed statements on the specific intent of the provision); and - application statements (detailed statements on what the provision applies to). You can access information on purchase of electronic and hard-copy versions and download PDF copies of Letters of Assurance at: http://www.bccodes.ca It is recommended that you check with each municipality prior to showing up to make a building permit application, as they may have changed their requirements for BP application submissions with the new Building Code.

Mueller-Garbutt, RID, VP National IDIBC It is with excitement and a bit of awe that I take on the position of VP National. Although I have been in the Design Field since 1981 there is still ever so much to learn. The design field is vast in so many ways and it is with excitement that I accept this position to continue the learning process from some most wonderful people, as well as passing on knowledge through my past experiences. The IDC board and the IDIBC board have accepted me with open arms and I thank you all for that. I look forward to being a part of the “bigger picture” and serving the Interior Design Industry to the best of my ability. IDC board members have created sub-committees, which will further develop 4 key result areas, Representation, Organization, Administration and Communication. It was determined that more communication from IDC to the provinces on a regular basis be most beneficial. In following in the past VP National’s steps, I will continue on with the Insurance Portfolio as well as the “Organization” sub-committee. I look forward to the experiences and challenges that lie ahead.
