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 #1: Recognizing the Added Value of Research in Practice
Date: Tuesday, September 14, 2021
Time: 12:00 - 1:30 PM
Credits: Approved for 1.5 LU/HSW
Architects conduct research in their practices every day and tend to not recognize it. Practices are involved in experimentation and investigation—discovering novel solutions through design, researching new material assemblies, saving energy through novel construction, and sometimes using digital tools innovatively. Firms expand their practical competence and serve their clients better through research. This session is a discussion with experts about research in practice. After this session, attendees will be able to distinguish research from other forms of architectural practice, consider initiating simple research programs into their practice, recognize the potential for grant funding, become aware of Federal tax credits, and identify venues for disseminating results. This presentation will display when and how research happens and answer why it is necessary in today's competitive market.

The centerpiece of Microsoft’s massive new expansion is 550 feet underground
The Thermal Energy Center is the unlikely centerpiece of a 3-million-square-foot addition to the tech giant’s campus in Redmond, Washington. As its straightforward name suggests, the building will be the hub of the expansion’s new energy system, which will power the campus almost entirely through electricity provided by geothermal energy exchanges.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) recently published its 2021 Compensation Report, a biannual study of the financial health of the architecture profession. Given the unprecedented toll that COVID has taken on virtually every field for the last 18 months, this year’s report shed light during a moment that otherwise had little clarity.

The 2021 edition of Spain-based architectural education platform Best Architecture Master’s (BAM) Ranking has been released, with a (not entirely surprising) repeat performance at the top of the list: Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD)’s Master of Architecture II and Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP)’s Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design programs hold their places at number one and number two, respectively, for the second year in a row. Harvard has placed first all four years that the ranking has been in existence.

As sources familiar with the move explained to The Wall Street Journal in a story published yesterday that has since sent shockwaves through the dying brick-and-mortar retail sector, the footprints of the department store-styled Amazon emporiums will be in the roughly 30,000-square-foot range. That’s far more compact than the embattled (and in some cases, defunct) shopping mall anchors that Seattle-headquartered Amazon has helped to decimate—Macy’s and its bankruptcy-surviving rival JC Penney among them—and more akin in size to a typical T.J. Maxx outpost. As noted by the Journal, the size of the planned stores is also comparable to that of the small-format locations that historically voluminous retailers like Nordstrom, another Seattle retail heavyweight, have been trying on for size as of late. In other words, don’t expect a Sears-sized in-person shopping experience complete with a hair salon and lunch counter.
