2021 AIA Dayton Scholarship Recipients Named
AIA Dayton has awarded three scholarships to deserving recipients in the Miami Valley. The awards went to: Lauren Bowling, a graduate of the Dayton Regional STEM School from Fairborn, who attends the University of Cincinnati; Rylen Perkins, a graduate of Northmont High School/Miami Valley Career Technology Center, who attends Bowling Green State University; and Madison Mercher, a graduate of Northmont High School from Englewood, who will be a Freshman at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities.
The three were awarded a total of $$4,200 in scholarship monies through the AIA Dayton Architectural Scholarship Foundation. The awards were made possible through a matching grant from AIA National.
Since 2007, the scholarship fund has awarded 49 scholarships totaling $61,100. Thanks to the many AIA Dayton members who have contributed either individually or through their firm to the scholarship fund, and to the golfers of the Annual Golf Outing, who each year contribute funds to the scholarship through the sale of mulligans.

More than a dozen organizations apply to acquire Charlottesville’s toppled Confederate monuments
Late last month, the Virginia-based Daily Progress obtained documents from the city of Charlottesville detailing multiple applications for the acquisition of two statues celebrating Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, both of which were taken down by municipal officials on July 10. The statues had initially been approved for removal by the city council in early 2017, largely in response to a petition of protest filed by local high schooler Zyahna Bryant.

Brutalism bolstered Control’s success, but why is the movement still so trendy?
The most influential piece of self-identified Brutalist architecture in recent history was built in 2019 and it welcomes over one million visitors a year. Referred to as simply the Oldest House, the monolithic Manhattan skyscraper is the backdrop in which the popular video game Control takes place. Developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games, Control’s depiction of architecture gives us a strong reading of contemporary sensibility and desire. This merits taking the Oldest House seriously as an architectural object in its cultural context. From my visits, the spaces in this game are a triumph of formulation, but to understand what that cultural context actually is we must first ask: Why is Brutalism so trendy right now?
