Practice Innovation Workshop Series
AIA Ohio’s Practice Innovation Workshop Series includes six different virtual sessions designed to explore new ways to practice and new technologies that enable us to create architecture differently. These panel discussions are designed to generate ideas that can be implemented directly into a practice or firm.
Workshop #3: Alternative Project Delivery Methods
Date: Tuesday, October 5, 2021
Time: 12:00 - 1:30 PM
Credits: Approved for 1.5 LU/HSW
This session takes an in-depth look at a variety of alternative project delivery methods, focusing on how the traditional role of the architect is stretching, expanding, and changing in today’s practice world. Alternative methods include new horizons for how projects are conceptualized, delivered, and built. The session highlights innovative approaches and easily implementable technologies and “tweaks” to familiar design-bid-build, design-build, and construction-manager-at-risk project delivery formats and how alternative strategies can address the challenges of schedules, contracts, and overall project success.
Workshop #4: Elevating Design: Collaboration to Elevate your Practice
Date: Tuesday, October 12, 2021
Time: 12:00 - 1:30 PM
Credits: Approved for 1.5 LU/HSW
As firm location continues to have a smaller impact on the selection of design professionals, greater opportunities exist for practices to expand their reach through collaboration. While sometimes looked at as a threat to local firms, especially smaller practices, collaborative arrangements provide opportunities to expand firm reach and increase a firm’s market position. Through networking, large and small firms alike can benefit from a sharing of information and processes.

The Case of the Missing Mies van der Rohe
Rediscovering plans for a nearly unknown, never-realized Ludwig Mies van der Rohe building seems improbable. “It’s like finding a Rembrandt in a desk drawer,” says one of the architect’s biographers, Edward Windhorst.
Mies, the late architect behind modernist structures like New York’s Seagram Building and the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin, is among the most studied and revered designers of all time. Yet it’s only now that a never-built Mies design from 1952 that was intended as a fraternity house on Indiana University’s Bloomington campus has finally been completed.

Flames that still flicker and destroy
Chicago in 1871 was a rather ramshackle affair, without a great deal of architectural distinction. While there was an immediate move to rebuild, there was little lamentation for the beauty or distinction of what was lost. Nor was there a memorable quality to the new construction that followed in the fire's wake, which tended more to the efficient than the artful. Very few structures remain from that initial rebuilding, as the vast majority of those structures were destroyed by developers and architects building what we think of as the original Chicago school of architecture in the 1880s, 1890s and 1900s.

How Zurich Blazed a Trail for Recycled Concrete
Inspired by a public debate about two decades ago on how to reduce the amount of gravel that’s extracted and used in construction, Switzerland’s largest city has become a trailblazer for more sustainable construction. It built its first building with recycled concrete — a school building where 80% of concrete used had come through the recycling process — as far back as 2002. Three years later, it introduced a requirement that all publicly-owned buildings have to be made using recycled concrete. In 2013, the city went a step further to mandate the use of Co2-reduced cement. Now other cities are starting to take note, adopting practices that have been standard in Zurich for more than a decade.

Built in Chicago: Architecture that transformed the city—and the world
By 1871, Chicago was a small and mighty city, ready to take off, but lacking serious infrastructure—from sewers to roads. Most of its buildings were wood framed, quickly constructed but not very robust.
So when the inevitable fire came, it was cataclysmic. But it created the requirement to rebuild. It wasn't even an opportunity but a requirement. The city's leaders had to do something to maintain this burgeoning economic machine.
