AIA Dayton Lends Assistance to Miami University Freshmen Architecture Students
AIA Akron started an initiative with Kent State architecture students that has taken off across the state. AIA Akron learned that several Kent State students were going to withdraw from classes because they couldn't afford the computer technology that was needed for remote learning. They conducted a fundraising campaign with their members and have been purchasing computers for many of those students. Other AIA components are assisting schools in their area as well. AIA Dayton is assisting Miami Univeristy by purchasing the app needed for the 99 freshmen for their iPadPros to assist with sketching, drawing, and 3D modeling, since students can't be assured access to the studeio spaces/equipment for analog drawing/model building. AIA Dayton is contributing $1,500 to Miami University. Any member that would like to make a donation to help offset this expense is invited to send a check to AIA Dayton, PO Box 342, West Milton, OH 45383. Thank you!

ARE Update for Associates
This month, NCARB will administer an additional six-month rolling clock extension to all passing exam scores that were valid as of March 1, 2020. Combined with the previous nine-month extensions, all valid exam scores will have received a total of a 15-month rolling clock extension. This ensures that no exam scores are impacted by the rolling clock until June 2021 at the earliest.
The extension will automatically be applied to valid ARE division scores on or before August 25, 2020. You do not need to take any action or apply to receive this extension.
With many candidates uncomfortable testing at physical test centers during the ongoing pandemic and others struggling to find available appointment times, this extension provides the opportunity to wait for a remote proctored testing option without facing immediate rolling clock impacts. While NCARB initially anticipated launching this option inearly-2021, recent progress will allow for an earlier-than-anticipated launch of remote proctoring in late-2020.

Top 300 U.S. Architecture Firms of 2020
For the ninth consecutive year, Gensler has ranked first on Architectural Record’s roster of the Top 300 Firms. The annual list, compiled by RECORD’s sister publication, Engineering News-Record (ENR), compares companies’ architectural revenue from the prior year, as reported to ENR by firms that choose to participate. These figures, from 2019, do not reflect the economic fallout from the pandemic.

This cabin was an Instagram sensation. Now it’s being copied all over the U.S.
Architect Drew Lang knows that not everybody can afford what he designs. Architecture—custom-designed homes, particularly—is expensive, and only a certain slice of the population has the money to commission their own personal design. But Lang wanted to create modern, architect-designed homes that could be purchased by people who aren’t mega-millionaires. So he bought some land, standardized a design, and built 26 of them.

An Art Installation On The National Mall Depicts Systemic Racism
Visitors to the National Mall this week will see a cage-like art installation standing among the white stone monuments and landmark museums.
A team of local Black architects from SmithGroup, an architecture firm, designed the installation following the killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the hands of police. They named it “Society’s Cage,” in reference to the state violence and institutional racism that shape Black life in the United States today.

12 Small Towns with Beautiful Architecture
When you think of great architectural destinations in the United States, major cities like New York, Chicago, and New Orleans come to mind—probably along with a few Frank Lloyd Wright homes. While there’s plenty to see in each of those places, don’t overlook the architectural gems in smaller towns. For one thing, while large metropolises are constantly growing and changing—which typically involves tearing down historic buildings or entire neighborhoods—small towns are more likely to keep their built environment intact. And while many of these towns feature the classic “Main Street USA” aesthetic, they also offer unique insights into the local history, including what housing looked like for people of varying socioeconomic backgrounds, and what people did to entertain themselves. Whether you’re into architecture, history, travel, or a combination of the three, get ready to make plans for a road trip, because you’re going to want to see these places in person.

“City Dreamers” Documentary Highlights 4 Influential Women in Architecture
Any casual lover of architecture knows the names Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn, and Robert Venturi, but far fewer have heard of Phyllis Lambert, Blanche Lemco van Ginkel, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander, or Denise Scott Brown. But that’s not because their work was any less important to the field.
City Dreamers, a documentary directed by Joseph Hillel, sheds light on the work of these four influential women in architecture and design. All now between the ages of 87 and 97, the women broke into the traditionally masculine industry just after the Second World War, when the work to rebuild was plentiful but prominent woman architects were not.

‘Missing middle’ homes could ease affordability squeeze, architect says
When Daniel Parolek looks at the American housing market, the architect sees both an affordability crisis and a distinct lack of the old-fashioned housing types that could deliver modestly priced homes.
In his new book, "Missing Middle Housing," Parolek proposes building more medium-density housing, such as duplexes, four-unit buildings and cottage apartments. Those housing types were common in American cities before World War II. They've all but disappeared since. Single-family suburbs and high-rise condos have dominated the development scene.
