Spring and summer were a flurry of activity for the AIA across all levels of the organization. The National Convention was held in June

this year in Denver, CO with a theme of “Leadership for Architecture, Leadership Beyond Architecture”. Ideas were put forward to identify where and how architects can participate in civic leadership as well as how architecture itself can better environments and create a better life for communities. Among the keynote speakers were Blake Mycoskie, TOMS Founder, a company that gives a pair of shoes to a child in an impoverished community for every pair of shoes sold; Cameron Sinclair, Co-founder, Architecture for Humanity, an organization that identifies communities around the globe that can be given a leg up by improving their built environment in some way, be it a school or a community center; and finally, General Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.) Secretary of State (2001-2005) who laid out the risks and rewards of leadership. All were wonderful and inspiring speakers. The Convention is an inspiring experience that should be enjoyed and supported by our members and community.

Along the lines of civic engagement, I had the tremendous opportunity to participate in an AIA SDAT (Sustainable Design Assessment Team) this past spring and summer. Spearheaded by AIANJ President Jack Purvis, a group of architects, planners and engineers came together to assist in developing concepts to rebuild Camp Osborn, a six-block community in Brick Township that was almost totally leveled following Storm Sandy in the fall of 2012. Camp Osborn began as a fishing village

of tents in the 20s and evolved over the years into a close knit community of homes, many that had been in the hands of individual families for several generations.During the storm most all of the 118 homes had been washed away or burned the day after, as fires went unchecked due to the inability of emergency vehicles to reach them. The homes had been granted conditional zoning prior to the storm but after the storm were required to adhere to new zoning rules and flood plain elevations. The SDAT held a series of meetings with the community and town officials, and through design charettes, developed a scheme for rebuilding. The scheme was given conditional approval and had an overwhelming buy-in from the community, providing a path to begin to rebuild. I have never been more proud to be a part of something or more proud of my professional colleagues for their effort and dedication.

Our community as a whole is socially engaged and gives a great deal – from Habitat for Humanity, to Canstruction, to our members who serve on boards in their local municipalities as well as our own micro community of the Architects League. But we can do more. I encourage everyone to consider how they can use their skills as designers and problem solvers to assist an individual or community near them. It’s a valuable and rewarding experience.

We still have some great programs ahead for this fall. Please review the calendar and watch for notices. Come out and make your presence felt within our own community.

Warm Regards, r. terry durden, AiA ALNNJ President 2013

Kitchen Addition, Private Home Fairlawn, NJ

Client criteria for the new kitchen addition was to enjoy the morning sun and to brighten the kitchen using natural light. To achieve the solution the design features a projected dinette area beyond the kitchen. The addition is wrapped with high performance windows to capture the view of the morning sun while the tall decorative windows offer an attractive view of the wooded property.

Fellow Architects, someone has said that “all publicity is good publicity”. It could never be more true than with our graphic 4Q issues of the Leagueline!It has been 4 years, but WHAT WE DO: 4, has been the opportunity to select a project or two that you have designed, have had built or is now on the boards and heading for construction.WHAT WE DO: 4 is getting it “out there” in front of your collegues and anyone else who sees our great quarterly publication. It is available to all members – here is the work of the 30 plus who took the opportunity to share their creativity with all of us.

Broad Exchange Building New York, NY

When it was completed in 1902, the Broad Exchange Building was the largest office building in America, with the highest estimated real estate value in Manhattan. At the heart of the Financial District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, 25 Broad was converted into condominiums in 1997. Over the years, some of the building’s characteristic architectural features had either deteriorated or been removed deliberately, altering the appearance of the facade and roofline. Previous efforts to address deterioration used materi-als that were incompatible with the existing structure and, often, did not match the aesthetic qualities of the original building. Using photographic documentation found in archives, Hoffmann Architects designed replicas of lost elements, restoring the decorative features and profile of the building as it first appeared in 1902. The facade and window restoration remediated faulty repairs and corrected poor workmanship and incorrect material selection, resolving building envelope distress while meeting stringent guidelines for the treatment of historic properties.

Juan Kuriyama, AIA Hoffmann Architects Inc New York, NY www.hoffarchs.com

Transformer(ed) Commercial Building North Arlington, NJ

Transformer(ed) is a modern conversion of an early 1900’s public utility building located in North Arlington, New Jersey. Purchased by a private trucking company, the owner envisioned a first floor mechanic’s garage and office entry with a second floor executive suite. Our goal was to preserve the building to the greatest extent possible, design in harmony with the existing building and make as many sustainable choices as possible.

4What We Do:

Restored Church – Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Parish Sparta, NJ

Due to ongoing water infiltration and building exterior maintenance issues, the parish retained Hoffmann Architects to perform an investigation into the causes of leaks and deterioration, and to recommend a remedial course of action. The investigation revealed evidence of water infiltration at the building perimeter, originating at absent flashings and open sealant joints in parapet coping stones. In addition, the stucco displayed significant cracking and de-lamination, and exterior facing stone was stained by rust in many locations. Hoffmann Architects produced contract documents for the full scope of recommended work, assisted the church during the bidding and contract negotiation process, and provided construction administration services for a repair program that included a full roof system replacement, parapet repair, window sealant replacement, exterior stucco repair and coating, rust stain removal, and other facade repairs to restore building envelope integrity.

AiA national Convention, denver Colorado, June 19-22This year’s National Convention was held in the mile-high city of Denver, Colorado, June 19-22. Many members (and spouses) of the League and other state chapters were in attendance. An AIANJ reception was held at Corridor 44, a champagne bar near the Colorado Convention Center. AIA National discussed the new Repositioning the AIA initiative with the membership.

The convention is not all products and CEU seminars. The Gold Medal in Architecture was awarded to Southern California’s Thom Mayne, FAIA, the self-professed ‘bad boy’ of architecture; the Firm of the Year Award went to Tod Williams, FAIA and Billie Tsien, AIA; the installation of the new class of Fellows of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA) took place at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House; the Emerging Professionals and the Women in Architecture groups hosted functions; the 64th Annual Honors and Awards Celebration was held at the Bellco Theater.

There is so much more that cannot fit into this article, it is difficult to not find something of interest for everyone. If you cannot attend in person, there is always the Virtual Convention!

The keynote speaker was General Colin Powell, USA (Ret.). Other speakers were Tom Mycoskie, Founder and Chief Shoe Giver of TOMS Shoes, and Cameron Sinclair, Co-Founder, Architecture for Humanity.

My husband Gerry and I have started to make the conventions one of our yearly trips and have yet to be disappointed. Bring your spouse or a friend, attend with colleagues, see new places. Visit what you have only seen in professional magazines and books. Experience Architecture in a new way!

Next year the convention will be held June 26-28 in Chicago! Attending a convention is a wonderful experience – networking opportunities, the latest info on the latest products, seminars and lectures – all with CEU points, tours to locations you have always wanted to see.

The Architect’s League held its Thirteenth Annual Golf Outing at the Crystal Springs

Resort in Hamburg, NJ. We had a large number of both architects and vendors turn

out for the event – 104 golfers in total. The event was able to raise over $6,300 dollars

for League Scholarships. The golf committee would like to thank all those members and

vendors who attended and supported the event. Especially to Donna Mikitan from Pella

who worked the check-in desk. Hope to see all of you next year.

Designed in 1928 by Clarence Stein and Henry Wright, Radburn is celebrated as the first planned “town for the Motor Age” in America. Radburn was to be an experiment in living where all the necessary amenities commonly found in cities were to be planned and built in this self-contained community, located in the rural town of Fair Lawn, New Jersey. Schools, businesses and shopping were designed to be accessible and linked to all residents by common parks, greenways and paths, safe and removed from roadways and busy streets. Small lots on cul-de-sacs provided an economical and efficient plan that encouraged all residents to share and enjoy all the common open space and walkways that joined them together. Since its inception, Radburn has served as a textbook for scholars of Town Planning and a model for New Urbanism. In 1975 Radburn was entered into the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Register of Historic Places.

A special thank you to Suzanne and Louis DiGeronimo for hosting the dinner at their home, and to Joel Ives for hosting the BOT meeting at his office.
