Nationwide Fellows/EP Mentorship Program Announcement
The past year has brought increased awareness and activism for social, political, and environmental change that has stretched and challenged the architecture we do, to do more. Having open and honest conversations on these topics is how we will all grow together. Mentorship is a critical component to our profession in helping foster these conversations, and to cultivate the next generation of Architects. And we need to mentor now, more than ever, as we navigate the aftermath of this pandemic and civil unrest.
To respond to this need, several young architects in the AIA are partnering with the College of Fellows to develop “Nexus”, a national mentorship program, built as a virtual platform, in an effort to build new connections across our geographically dispersed membership. The program aims to create meaningful dialogue around work culture, professional knowledge, leadership strategies, and society at large, between one generation and another.
Nexus will be open for applications/participants in the coming quarter, so keep your eyes open for a follow-up announcement- but feel free to let us know now if you are interested in being notified when the program is beginning! Email [email protected] or [email protected].

Welcome to the Post-pandemic Dream Home
With all the additional time Americans are spending at home, the pandemic has made many people hyperaware of what they like—and what they don’t—about the space they live in: Natural light went from being a perk to a lifeline; an open-concept floor plan went from being an occasional annoyance to an exasperating privacy killer. Sometime hopefully not long from now, though, the threat of the pandemic will lift and homes will go back to being just one place among many where people spend a great deal of time. What will they have learned about what they want from their living space?

How one interior designer is fighting homelessness—with her invoices
“The one percent” is most often used as a pejorative, shorthand for elite, out-of-touch vultures who prey on the working class. But a new initiative from a Portland, Oregon, interior designer is taking that moniker and flipping it on its head.
The One Percent Project, launched by Jessica Helgerson Interior Design, asks clients to put 1% of their invoice total toward addressing homelessness. This line item, which is totally optional, will appear on their monthly invoices as a sort of “voluntary tax” that the firm likens to grocery stores asking you to round up.

Sustainable architecture: innovative and inspiring building design
From amazing abodes to centres of care and hard-working offices, we chart some of the world’s best examples of sustainable architecture, buildings that not only look good but also do good.
Elephant World’s architecture nods to both human and elephant needs, showcasing a strong sense of social sustainability but a respect to the environment too. The Wallpaper* Design Awards 2021 Best Sanctuary winner is a design by Thai architect Boonserm Premthada and his practice, Bangkok Project Studio. Premthada worked with local labour and materials to create a complex dedicated to the wellbeing of humans and animals, including an observation tower, a museum and a multifunctional event space. The design blends with the landscape and uses natural materials. For example, the bricks used for the museum were created on site by local workers using loam found in the area.

Honoring Black History: Youngstown architect leaves legacy in downtown buildings
You’ve probably passed the Rayen Building on Wick Avenue before. But did you know it was one of several buildings across Youngstown designed by Black architect P. Ross Berry?
Many of Downtown Youngstown’s most well-known buildings are from the 20th century, but one of the most prolific local builders made his mark during the 19th century.
“In the later part of the 19th Century, P. Ross Berry had impacts on probably almost every important building here in Youngstown and in New Castle, Pennsylvania, where he got his start in masonry,” said Traci Manning, curator of education at the Mahoning Valley Historical Society.
P. Ross Berry designed dozens of public buildings and private homes in Youngstown, including the original county courthouse, several churches, and the old opera house. Some historians estimate he built around 65 buildings altogether.
