AIA wAshINgtON, D.C. 

five hundred years ago, a few miles from this site, the first european ships sailed 

up Chesapeake bay and discovered a fertile land teeming with life. It was here 

that thomas Jefferson and Alexander hamilton sealed the deal that located the 

capital of a new nation by the banks of the Potomac on land that was still woods, 

fields, farms, and wetlands. the city, named after the Republic’s leading citizen, 

would bind in a lasting union the different interests of North and south. 

Yet, an idea larger than political necessity informed the founding fathers’ dreams. 

they envisioned something unprecedented in the world—art and science would 

unite to build a great city that would reflect the ideals of a democratic people. 

british soldiers torched the public buildings of the young capital during the war 

of 1812. however, President madison and his wife Dolley moved from the burned 

executive mansion one block to the west to the Octagon, an elegant residence 

designed by the first Architect of the Capitol, Dr. william thornton. It was here, 

in the Octagon, that the business of the nation continued, culminating in the 

signing of an enduring peace between the united states and great britain. 

fifty years later, as the nation was torn apart by the opposing forces of North 

and south, Abraham lincoln insisted that building the great dome of the Capitol 

would continue through the Civil war, a symbol of a nation that would one day 

come together. Architecture would communicate what words alone could not. 

At the turn of the twentieth century a public exhibition opened in the Octagon, 

which had become the national headquarters of the American Institute of 

Architects. the exhibition brought to the attention of the nation the great concept 

of the founding fathers and Pierre l’enfant for a new kind of urbanity befitting 

a free people, a vision that had been neglected in the ensuing years. that vision 

became known as the mcmillan Plan, which became in the twentieth and twentyfirst 

centuries the template for the growth of this magnificent city of grand 

avenues, parks, vibrant neighborhoods, and monumental buildings in which the 

pageant of democracy unfolds. 

from the great dome of the Capitol, designed by a founder of the AIA, to the quiet 

dignity of the viet Nam veterans war memorial, whose design integrity was fought 

for by the AIA, washington, both in its plan and character of edifice, celebrates the 

potential of our covenant with each other. that all of us can touch the spirit of the 

thing, and we all have a stake in it. 

You have arrived at one of the world’s greenest, most sustainable, walkable, 

diverse, and beautiful cities; a city of art, music, dance, poetry, and architecture. 

welcome to washington.

thuRsDAY fRIDAY 

DAvID mCCullOugh 

8:15−10 a.m. 

washington holds a special place among the world’s capitals. 

It is a major city shaped not by kings or tyrants or merchant 

princes, but by the democratic ideals of its people, realized in 

large part by the nation’s architects. 

from the grand vision of the New Republic’s founders to 

President lincoln’s insistence that a founding member of 

the American Institute of Architects continue work on the 

great dome of the Capitol in the darkest days of the Civil war, 

architecture and democracy have been inextricably bound in 

giving shape to our nation. 

historian David mcCullough shares his profound understanding 

of the cultural forces that have influenced architects and 

architecture in the united states since the founding of the 

AIA more than 150 years ago. 

DAvID mCCullOugh is twice winner of the Pulitzer Prize, 

twice winner of the National book Award, and has received the 

Presidential medal of freedom, the nation’s highest civilian 

award. mr. mcCullough’s most recent book, The Greater Journey: 

Americans in Paris, was a number one New York times best 

seller. his previous work, 1776, has been acclaimed “a classic,” 

while John Adams, published in 2001, remains one of the most 

praised and widely read American biographies of all time. 

mr. mcCullough’s other books include The Johnstown Flood, 

The Great Bridge, The Path between the Seas, Mornings on 

Horseback, Brave Companions, and Truman. his work has been 

published in ten languages and, in all, more than 9,500,000 

copies are in print. As may be said of few writers, none of his 

books has ever been out of print. 

born in Pittsburgh in 1933, mr. mcCullough was educated 

there and at Yale, where he was graduated with honors in 

english literature. 

seCRetARY shAuN DONOvAN 

secretary for housing 

and urban Development 

8:30−10 a.m. 

what are the prospects for growth in the design and construction 

industry in the near future? AIA economist Kermit baker, PhD, 

will provide a real world look at current economic conditions 

and where they are trending. his presentation will be followed 

by the honorable shaun Donovan, an architect currently serving 

as the secretary of the u.s. Department of housing and urban 

Development, who will explore ways in which architects can 

succeed in what has been described as the “new normal”. 

seCRetARY DONOvAN has devoted his career to ensuring 

access to safe, decent, and affordable housing, and has 

continued that effort in the Obama Administration. secretary 

Donovan believes that America’s homes are the foundation for 

family, safe neighborhoods, good schools, and job creation. 

his tenure as huD secretary has reflected his commitment to 

making quality housing possible for every American. sworn in at a 

time when the foreclosure crisis had devastated American families, 

under secretary Donovan’s leadership huD has helped stabilize 

the housing market and worked to keep responsible families in 

their homes. the agency has instituted reforms that have solidified 

the federal housing Administration’s financial position and 

protected the taxpayer against risk, while still preserving fhA’s 

mission of providing responsible access to homeownership. 

secretary Donovan has a long history of working to provide 

affordable housing to American families. he previously served 

as Commissioner of the New York City Department of housing 

Preservation and Development (hPD). 

secretary Donovan holds a b.A. and masters degrees in Public 

Administration and Architecture from harvard.

In the aftermath of the horrific tragedy of september 11, many stepped forward to help bring meaning to the incomprehensible and 

solace to a nation united in its grief. 

the convention, and its gathering of the nation’s architects, provides an opportunity to honor our colleagues who have been involved 

in the rebuilding and memorials at the world trade Center, the Pentagon, and shanksville, Penn. they sought to help our nation 

when we all needed their unique gifts. Now, it’s your opportunity to say “thank you.” 

In addition to the inspiring stories of the rebuilding and memorial at the Pentagon and flight 93 National memorial, six architects who 

offered their experience to help rebuild and memorialize the world trade Center will share their emotions, observations, and anecdotes. 

AIA President Jeff Potter will then present specially-cast medallions commending them for their contribution to our national healing. 

Architect members of their teams will also be honored on stage. Reception immediately following.

give back to the Community: 

Phelps high school visual language lab 

building the Next generation of Architects 

AIA|DC and the washington Architectural foundation are 

planning a community project to inspire and help disadvantaged 

high school students to prepare for careers in architecture 

and related professions. the visual language lab project will 

benefit Phelps high school—a washington, D.C., magnet public 

high school with a curriculum in architecture, engineering, and 

other construction-related professions. the school designed 

its architecture track to lead to admission to a college program 

in architecture or a related field such as interior design or 

landscape architecture. 

the visual language lab project will upgrade the school’s 

existing curricula and better equip students with the skills, 

résumés, and portfolios they need to compete for spots in 

academia or the building trades. the project will provide a new, 

fully equipped digital imaging laboratory as well as lectures by 

visiting architects, photographers, and other professionals working 

in architecture-related fields. the lab will help to teach students 

how to manipulate visual images so they can illustrate and 

document their projects in an elegant and professional manner. 

by also helping them to create portfolios of their work, the project 

will support their future applications for college or employment. 

AIA guIDe tO the ARChIteCtuRe Of

sustainable meetings

opportunities to incorporate environmentally sustainable 

principles into the planning of the aia 2012 convention in

north america by the green meetings industry council, the aia 

convention green principles have been coordinated with vendors, 

hoteliers, convention facility, and all service providers. you’ll notice 

positive changes in the way the exhibitors do business; how we 

eliminated vinyl badge holders; use only recyclable signage 

materials; and how the convention center operates and recycles.

convention co2 emissions. you can help by recycling throughout

dollars, and materials sourced within 30 miles) local schools 

of architecture were charged with creating an installation that 

reflects their interpretation of the future architect’s workstation.

the aia continuing education requirement enables members to 

fulfill state licensing requirements for most states. as of January

hsw education so that aia members master new knowledge and 

skills to meet the changing requirements of the profession.

unit hours (lu), of which at least 12 address health, safety, and 

welfare (hsw) topics as defined by the architect registration 

examination. look for “hsw” to identify courses that qualify.

boards (ncarb) have collaborated to ensure that the content of 

the seminars and tours for this year’s convention meet the health, 

safety, and welfare criteria agreed to by both organizations.

we100 architecture 3.0: how to build 

a Profitable disruptive Practice 

washington convention center, room 147b

a disruptive practice uses innovation to disrupt an 

existing market solution; it innovates to improve 

a product or service in ways the market does not 

expect. it differs from a business solution that just 

reduces fees or enters a new market. this session 

details how to build a practice beyond fees for labor 

and deliverables. it will outline how to create new 

markets and innovative services that build upon 

collaboration and resource sharing.

building science, and validated 

delivery for optimal energy savings 

and durability 


3.75 lu 

this workshop will teach architects how to follow 

a rigorous procedure to establish criteria for 

optimal energy savings and durability; develop 

a design that addresses those criteria based on 

scientific analysis; produce documents that deliver 

the desired design; and then validate building 

enclosure performance during construction using 

advanced quality assurance and control tools. this

washington convention center, ballroom 

2.50 lu (1.25 lu/1.25 lu|hsw) 

senator daniel Patrick Moynihan was a keen and candid observer of public design, an eloquent and 

tireless advocate for excellence, and a shrewd leader and public servant. although not a designer, the 

late senator left a distinguished legacy as one of this country’s most energetic, visionary, and effective 

champions for smart and strategic investment in the public realm. Few were more capable or comfortable 

in taking to task both public officials and the design community and challenging them to aspire to a higher 

ideal for public design. Fewer still were as prescient about the long-term challenges and responsibilities 

shared by designers and public officials. 

on the 50th anniversary of the Moynihan-authored “guiding Principles for Federal architecture,” this 

symposium will bring together design leaders and public officials from key federal agencies to celebrate sen. 

Moynihan’s legacy and explore the future of federal architecture. this national dialogue will focus on current 

challenges to design excellence in the public sector, the long view toward the future of better design, and 

the joint responsibility of the public and private sectors to meet this challenge. have we achieved Moynihan’s 

vision or have we fallen short—and how can we meet his challenge in the next 50 years?

about 45 percent of the u.s. general services 

administration’s (gsa) 8,600-building inventory

20 percent below the commercial building 

energy consumption survey database. enclosure 

commissioning therefore becomes much more 

than a quality assurance practice to confirm the 

client gets what they pay for; it is a value-added 

process to maximize results while reducing 

investment. attendees will explore how achieving 

maximum performance in a federal building 

presents often-differing, even contradictory, 

design parameters that can be balanced only

1.00 lu 

washington holds a special place among the world’s capitals. it is a major city shaped not by kings or tyrants 

or merchant princes, but by the democratic ideals of its people, realized in large part by the nation’s architects. 

From the grand vision of the new republic’s founders to President lincoln’s insistence that a founding 

member of the american institute of architects continue work on the great dome of the capitol in the darkest 

days of the civil war, architecture and democracy have been inextricably bound in giving shape to our nation. 

historian david Mccullough shares his profound understanding of the cultural forces that have influenced 

architects and architecture in the united states since the founding of the aia more than 150 years ago.

th206 architecture and the Power 

of design: a century of the u.s. 

commission of Fine arts and the 

commitment to design excellence 

in the nation’s capital 


1.50 lu 

since the 1900s, the u.s. commission of Fine arts 

(cFa) has guided the manifestation of political 

ideals into physical, symbolic reality. Most of 

the important issues facing the cFa have been 

ones of national representation—the memorials, 

monuments, museums, and medals that are the 

tangible symbols of our shared national identity. 

this seminar explores the cFa’s influence on the 

design and architecture of the nation’s capital 

within the social and political contexts that led to 

the cFa’s creation and the subsequent trends that 

have informed its decisions.

1.50 lu 

this session discusses international practice and 

the importance of connectivity as the new global 

entity emerges. the speakers and panel discussion 

will examine how to make sense of the shifting 

economy and the addition of the “economy of 

ideas” to the existing economies of capital, labor, 

and resources. they also discuss how to face the 

hurdles of international practice with interest 

and optimism while embracing and assimilating 

diversity, accepting “requisite variety,” and 

understanding the need for local ownership.

1.50 lu 

the u.s. department of state must conduct 

its work in facilities that are secure, meet life 

safety codes, and are barrier-free accessible for 

persons with disabilities. because it conducts the 

diplomatic mission of the united states, it is a 

public leader on these issues, but the application 

of solutions in its facilities is complicated by many 

factors. attendees will review and assess federal 

code compliance laws, regulations, and guidelines; 


their applicability; and the state department’s

th209 connect to the world and 

community: region-based design 

and its connection to culture, 

community, and Place 


1.50 lu 

For architecture to truly connect to its place and 

its community, it must conserve, protect, and 

engage the specific culture, climate, materials, 

topography, and best building practices of the 

region. through the work of three award-winning 

architects who are committed to modern, 

innovative, green, and regionally appropriate 

design, the seminar explores contemporary 

regionalism’s influence on landscape and 

architecture as well as the techniques used 

to satisfy the social, cultural, economic, and

academy brings much-needed relevance 

to projects that might otherwise be purely 

hypothetical, and it provides a platform to 

potentially serve communities in need. through 

case studies, the panel—an architect, an educator,

th211 daylight design 

for code compliance 


1.50 lu 

daylight is the most emotionally powerful 

connection between the built and natural 

environments—and has long been a form-giver to 

architecture. daylighting is also the first passive 

design strategy to be mandated by the new 

international green construction code (igcc), so 

it will soon be required in some jurisdictions. this 

seminar will review quantitative and qualitative 

means of evaluating daylight. Participants will 

learn how to use the prescriptive and performance 

paths to show compliance with the igcc 

daylighting requirements.

1.50 lu 

this session will cover the content and development, 

adoption, enforcement, and educational issues 

associated with the 2012 international green 

building code (igcc). built into the igcc are specific 

responsibilities for architects, not only throughout 

the normal design process but also in the pre- and 

postoccupancy phases. these new responsibilities 

will present both opportunities and challenges, 

which, properly addressed, will place architects

from the inventory of the u.s. general services 

administration. they represent different climates 

and existing conditions but have three important 

elements in common: their energy performance 

was poor; the facilities were occupied; and their 

façades had deteriorated—each resulting in a

instinctively respond to their built environments 

the same way our ancestors responded to their 

natural environments. we inherited not only our

about how to survive in the wilderness. those 

instinctive responses consistently trump 21stcentury 

intellectual aesthetic preferences where 

the effects of design on stress reduction and 

health are concerned. this seminar will describe

architectural and engineering services, many 

of them, along with local jurisdictions, are 

sidestepping this process, mostly under the veil of 

their budgets. this session will provide resources 

that better enable architects to advocate for 

informed decisions about design and procurement.

this higher standard of performance. this program 

will address the legal and social ramifications of 

fiduciary duty, including how the designer may

everywhere in new and existing construction, 

albeit often concealed beneath the floor coverings. 

there is an art and a science to exposing and 

using concrete as a widely used component of the 

architectural palette. this session will connect you 

to the world of decorative concrete and explore the 

possibilities that exposed concrete offers.

ex107 window replacement 

solutions for commercial buildings 


1.00 lu 

owners typically undertake more building 

renovation and rehabilitation than new 

construction. only a small percentage of existingbuilding 

projects fall in the “historic” category 

associated with designated public programs and 

design restrictions. Most building renovations— 

existing or historic—are motivated by changing 

owner needs, energy concerns, maintenance 

considerations, and general modernization or 

upgrade requirements. in all cases, windows 

are of interest and concern. this session will 

cover window replacement options for existing 

commercial and institutional buildings and the 

design of a window rehabilitation plan.

buildings for communications, 

Privacy, and Productivity 


1.00 lu 

buildings are designed, constructed, and operated 

to provide healthy and productive working and 

living spaces. indoor environmental quality (ieq) is 

naturally important to communications, health, and 

productivity. in this context, “acoustic comfort” means 

an environment conducive to speech intelligibility, 

speech privacy, low distractions and annoyance, 

and concentration where appropriate. however, 

research shows that current design and construction 

approaches are falling short of this goal. in this 

session, attendees will recognize the importance of 

acoustic comfort to ieq and why codes, standards, 

and design guidelines should address it.

baltimore’s fascinating building types exemplify 

some of the country’s best adaptive reuse projects. 

Founded in the 18th century as a port town, 

baltimore emerged as a 19th-century industrial 

center. numerous factories and commercial 

structures were built to support the city’s rapid 

growth, and in the postindustrial era, many of 

the historic industrial structures that had been 

rendered economically obsolete have been 

repurposed as new stores, offices, and residences.

the ca. 1800 Federal style house and property in 

1920. their alterations to the property involved 

many famous architects and made it one of the 

most outstanding residences of washington.

design fundamentals such as durable, handsome 

materials; natural pathways that are readily

the nation’s capital. today, Metro stations are as 

timeless as other washington, d.c., monuments 

while also fitting into the 21st century. after a

not only of the u.s. government but also of 

the country’s most famous memorials and 

monuments—and it is at night when they are 

the most dramatic. the lighting design for these 

monuments presented unique challenges because 

of environmental conditions (weather and wildlife), 

and the designs represent creative and innovative 

solutions. this tour will include visits to three 

landmarks—the washington Monument, world war 

ii Memorial, and air Force Memorial— led by team 

members involved in each project. learn not only

et200 self-guided tour: dupont 

circle—connecting society from 

1900 to 2012 

self-guided walking tour 

2.00 lu 

washington, d.c., became a fashionable location 

at the turn of the 20th century for the wealthy 

to hobnob with the nation’s leaders. the shift 

transformed dupont circle from a muddy 

backwater into a neighborhood rivaling Fifth 

avenue. by the great depression, however, the 

money needed to continue quickly evaporated, and 

property values steadily declined. in the 1960s, 

artists moved in, leading to a wave of renovations. 

today, dupont circle is again thriving. tour the 

area with Martin Moeller Jr., senior vice president 

and curator of the national building Museum.

gentility to the grit, the historic 

to the Modern 


2.00 lu 

Forty years older than the city of which it is now 

a part, georgetown has grown from a bustling port 

for nearby tobacco plantations to a microcosm 

of american urbanism within a small precinct 

of the larger metropolis. this tour will start at 

the waterfront and continue northward through 

georgetown’s industrial origins; its thriving 

commercial and entertainment zone; its dense 

residential blocks; its larger, detached estates; 

and finally a view of rock creek Park from oak 

hill cemetery. tour participants will receive an

et202 self-guided tour: 

the national Mall—connecting 

a capitol to its People 


2.00 lu 

the national Mall was the most ambitious single 

gesture of Pierre l’enfant’s plan for washington, 

d.c. known today for the large green that 

connects the capitol to the lincoln Memorial and 

for the row of smithsonian and public museums, 

the Mall looked nothing like that until the early 

19th century, when it was known for railroad smog 

and odors from nearby canals and marshes. this 

tour of the Mall will provide an architectural view 

of d.c.’s most-visited attraction. tour participants 

will receive an aia|dc guidebook. 

et203 self-guided tour: u street,

step outside the convention center and discover 

washington’s most-changed neighborhoods from 

the 1990s and early 2000s: the interconnected 

neighborhoods of logan circle and shaw, where

d.c.’s trendiest commercial and residential centers. 

Follow the movement of this culturally vital area 

by walking through the shifts in architecture and 

planning from the 1920s to today. your tour guide is 

Martin Moeller Jr., senior vice president and curator 

of the national building Museum, and participants 

will receive an aia|dc guidebook.
