Comparative Study of Wood and Aluminum Windows in Commercial Buildings (1.0 AIA CES HSW)
Date: Tuesday, April 19, 2022
Time: 4:00 - 6:00 PM
Location: Pella Windows & Doors, Cross Point Shopping Center, Centerville
Cost: No charge to members of AIA Dayton
Both wood and aluminum windows are being used extensively in today’s commercial and institutional buildings, especially in education, health care, and offices. Using project case studies from across the United States, this program examines how window selection criteria (aesthetics, cost, energy efficiency, and sustainability) impact the design process.
Learning Objectives:
- Describe how the aesthetic attributes of wood and aluminum windows contribute to interior environments that are livable, comfortable, productive, safe, and beautiful.
- Identify the initial costs associated with wood and aluminum windows and how they impact the life cycle assessment of the window systems.
- Compare how the physical attributes of wood and aluminum windows contribute to the * overall energy efficiency of the building envelope.
- Use energy modeling to determine the annual energy costs for wood and aluminum window systems in different climatic zones.

AIA Dayton Goes to Columbus for AIA Ohio Advocacy Day
AIA Ohio resumed its Advocacy Day program at the Ohio Statehouse this year and members from across the state gathered to hold scheduled meetings with their Representatives and Senators.
Representing AIA Dayton was Rebecca Nikolai, AIA, MODA4 Design, shown in the photo with John Meegan, AIA Columbus, and Luther Liggett, AIA Ohio Lobbyist.
AIA Ohio was asking four things of the legislature:
- to exempt the Ohio Building Code and Ohio Fire Code from the requirements of SB 9 recently approved by the 134th Assembly of the Ohio Legislature;
- to pass SB 225 and to expand the Ohio Historic Tax Credits;
- to support legislation that increases funding and incentives to renovate and construct more affordable housing projects in Ohio;
- to consider the impact legislation could have on Ohio's ability to improve the sustainability and resilience of the built environment for future generations.
Nikolai met with the Senior Aide to Senate President Matt Huffman and with the Legislative Aide to Representative Andrea White.

Women Architects Who Have Made Their Mark on Chicago
A new hotel at Navy Pier, the future DuSable Park just east of DuSable Lake Shore Drive, the dramatic St. Regis Tower and the wavy Aqua building, the austere Equitable Building next door to Tribune Tower, the vibrant GEMS World Academy, Chicago’s iconic Riverwalk. What do these all have in common? They were all designed by women or women-owned architecture firms.
The distinction wouldn’t be noteworthy if the world of architecture were more equitable, but as of 2020, only 17 percent of registered architects were women, according to the American Institute of Architects. So the prominence of these projects in the heart of a city renowned for architecture is something to be celebrated.

How Architects Are Building Refugee Centers for Ukrainians Fleeing War
When the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban watched the searing images of Ukrainians fleeing their homes as war arrived at their doorsteps, he recognized a humanitarian crisis he had seen before: Displaced families, many facing their most desperate moments, were packed into hastily constructed refugee centers that offered little in the way of privacy.
“That was exactly the same condition after the earthquake in Japan,” says Ban, in a call from Paris. The March 2011 quake and subsequent tsunami displaced hundreds of thousands of people, who sought temporary shelter in gymnasiums and other public buildings. To help out, the architect developed a partition system using rigid paper tubes — part of a humanitarian mission that has earned the design field’s highest accolades — in order to make ad-hoc facilities more livable for vulnerable families.

Lessons from Brad Pitt’s Failed Architectural Experiment in New Orleans
The implosion of Make It Right (MIR)—Brad Pitt’s post-Katrina housing experiment in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans—is surely one of the most depressing architecture stories of the past decade. Launched, seemingly, with the best of intentions, in a largely African American neighborhood utterly left behind in the post-hurricane reconstruction, the actor famously recruited a roster of high-profile architects, including William McDonogh, David Adjaye, and Pritzker Prize-winners Thom Mayne and Shigeru Ban, along with other prominent national and local firms, to design 150 LEED Platinum homes in the devastated neighborhood.

Frank Gehry: ‘The more humane a building, the better’
Few living architects are as lauded as Frank Gehry, the Canadian-American Pritzker Architecture Prize winner whose work resonates so profoundly that he once played himself in an episode of The Simpsons. He is the master of the curvilinear and fragmented form – a sculptor working in the medium of bricks, mortar and magic, conjuring daring feats of architecture instilled with such dynamism they appear poised to uproot and dance though the world’s cities: from his swaying Walt Disney Concert Hall, which opened in Los Angeles in 2003, to the billowing sail-like sweeps of his 2014 Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris and his leggy Dancing House, completed in Prague in 1996. He is emphatic about the role of his profession. “Architecture is an art form,” he says from his Los Angeles studio. He is perched on a stool in his office, the wall behind him filled with framed photographs of friends and collaborators.
