Stuart Howard, MAIBC FRAIC President of Architecture Canada | RAIC

It is a pleasure as president of Architecture Canada | RAIC to welcome architects to my hometown of Vancouver.

Every year, Architecture Canada | RAIC holds its festival in a different city in Canada to highlight excellence in our profession. Architects from across the country and around the world join us and take the time to steep themselves in the knowledge that can only come from a concentration of colleagues.

I am pleased with the quality of our speakers: Bing Thom, FRAIC; Mike Harcourt, Hon. FRAIC, Past Premier of BC; and Ed Mazria, Hon. FRAIC, the father of the 2030 Challenge. His presence – speaking twice during the festival – highlights the focus Architecture Canada is placing on the 2030 Challenge. We are developing best practices and guides to meet the challenge of net-zero buildings. Our case studies web site showcases how buildings being built now are meeting the challenge. Our magazine, Architecture, highlights projects that have risen to the challenge in print. It is all part of efforts to extend the knowledge of the 2030 Challenge and highlight best practices to help everyone in the profession rise to the challenge.

Such actions are concrete examples of how Architecture matters … and Architecture Canada| RAIC, as the voice of architecture, continues to work to bring forward that message; to government, to private enterprise, and to the public across Canada.

Gathering everyone to Canada’s West coast is a chance to make that voice heard. Welcome – and enjoy!

C’est pour moi un réel plaisir, en tant que président d’Architecture Canada | IRAC d’accueillir les architectes à Vancouver, ma ville natale.

Chaque année, Architecture Canada | IRAC tient son festival dans une ville différente pour valoriser l’excellence dans notre profession. Les architectes des quatre coins du pays et d’ailleurs dans le monde y convergent et prennent le temps de s’imprégner des lieux et de profiter de la concentration de collègues pour parfaire leurs connaissances.

L’événement de cette année met encore une fois à l’honneur des conférenciers de renom que nous accueillerons avec fierté : Bing Thom, FRAIC; Mike Harcourt, Hon. FRAIC, ancien premier ministre de la Colombie-Britannique; et Ed Mazria, Hon. FRAIC, le père du Défi 2030. M. Mazria prendra deux fois la parole pendant le festival et sa présence renforce l’importance qu’accorde Architecture Canada au Défi 2030. À cet égard, nous sommes d’ailleurs en train de préparer des guides sur les pratiques exemplaires qui permettent de relever le défi des bâtiments à consommation énergétique nette zéro; notre site web présente des exemples concrets de bâtiments construits qui relèvent le défi; et notre magazine, Architecture, fait de même, en version imprimée. Toutes ces activités s’inscrivent dans notre volonté de mieux faire connaître le Défi 2030 et d’aider les architectes à le relever.

Ces mesures démontrent aussi concrètement à quel point l’architecture a son importance … et Architecture Canada | IRAC, en tant que porte-parole de la profession, entend continuer de diffuser ce message haut et fort auprès des gouvernements, des entreprises privées et du grand public.

Ce rassemblement sur la côte ouest du Canada est une occasion à ne pas manquer de nous faire entendre collectivement. Bienvenue à tous – et Bon Festival!

Sincerely,

2011 FESTIVAL OF ARCHITECTUREArchitecture On the Edge May 24 – 27, 2011 | Vancouver Convention Centre

Pierre E. Gallant, MAIBC FIRAC AAAPresident of the AIBC Council

Welcome all to Vancouver and the 2011 Festival of Architecture. It is my pleasure to extend greetings to colleagues and friends from far and wide. This is a national festival, but truly an international event.

We have long understood that successful architecture is built on collaboration. So, too, is this festival. For starters, it’s been conceived and delivered in the true spirit of partnership with Architecture Canada | RAIC, right down to the co-branded Presidents’ Dinner and Awards Gala on Friday evening.

Then there’s the rich opportunity to reconnect with colleagues and friends, and to build new connections. Equally rich: six solid streams of professional development sessions interspersed with a roster of special events, all in the confines of the spectacular Vancouver Convention Centre.

It is particularly gratifying to see B.C. architecture given some time in the national spotlight. Perhaps it’s our unique perspective out here on the west coast, but B.C. architects are changing the way communities are conceived and created. And the world is taking notice.

For me, the true value of an annual architectural confluence such as this is in the synergy and celebration that comes about as a result. In the fast-paced reality that is the architectural profession, we rarely find the time to collectively assess where we’re at, and to celebrate our success in getting there. And we should.

Enjoy a wonderful festival, and may your architecture always be on the edge.

Bienvenue à Vancouver et au Festival d’architecture de 2011. Nous avons aussi l’honneur de saluer nos amis et collègues venants de partout, ce festival est un événement national avec une saveur internationale.

Au risque d’imposer un point de vue personnel, les bénifices d’un tel congrès annuel sont la synergie et la célébration qu’y si dégagent. Dans la vie actuelle et accélérée de notre monde de l’architecture, trop rarement prenons nous le temps d’apprécier les accomplissements collectifs. Profitons du Festival pour rectifier cette lacune.

Sincerely,

Bing Thom is one of Canada’s most admired and accomplished architects, and the founding principal of Bing Thom Architects (BTA), a Vancouver-based firm he founded in 1980. A graduate of the University of British Columbia and the University of California at Berkeley, Thom is a dedicated and artful city-builder whose global reputation has risen in consort with that of Vancouver, the city he has done much to protect and improve. His commitment to using great architecture to enhance the urban context and social condition has been recognized by a range of honours including the Order of Canada, the Golden Jubilee Medal, honorary degrees from Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia, and an honorary professorship from Tongji University in Shanghai. His firm was awarded the 2010 Architectural Firm of the Year Award by Architecture Canada | RAIC, and Thom himself is the recipient of the RAIC’s prestigious Gold Medal Award for 2011.

Among Thom’s successes are the master plans for the City of Dalian and the City of Yuxi in China; the creation of a new city centre for Surrey, BC with Surrey Central City; the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at UBC; the Aberdeen Centre in Richmond, BC; the Pacific Canada Pavilion at the Vancouver Aquarium and Marine Science Centre; the Trinity Uptown Plan for Fort Worth, Texas; the recently completed Sunset Community Centre; and the Arena Stage theatre complex in Washington, DC.

Thom believes in a holistic approach to architecture and attributes much of his success to his involvement in all aspects of building. This includes not only an understanding of the programmatic, technical and tectonic aspects of building, but also urban planning, development and construction. While international in outlook, his design approach is always closely rooted in a deep understanding of the culture and history of each project’s community. From single-family houses to large urban complexes, the work of BTA balances a delight in form-making with a commitment to shaping artful, involving, democratic public spaces.

Always outspoken and inspirational, Thom’s opening night keynote address will touch upon his fundamental belief in the transformative power of great architecture to uplift a community, not only the physical, but also its economic and social conditions. Influenced by Austrian biologist Ludwig von Bertalanffy, who suggested that knowledge is found “between the cracks” rather than in the discipline itself, the architect will reflect on his belief that communities are built through the successful collision of mixed uses. He will explore the notion that architecture is the art of bringing many divergent parts into a meaningful whole. Concerns of place, time, materials, space, light and user needs all play a part, but it is their coherent resolution, the exploration of the places in between, that creates the poetry and image of a great building. t

The Business of Architecture

W1: Quality on the Edge: New Computer Hardware & Software for the Building Construction Phase (3 Hours)Presenter: Brian Palmquist MAIBC MRAIC CP

The pace of technological change affecting building construction has never been faster. The emergence of the iPad and similar tablets, together with the related software, promises to revolutionize the architect’s ability to administer construction of even the most complex projects. This presentation will examine a range of computer hardware and software increasingly used by architects in the field and in the office during construction. The emphasis will be on those tools and techniques that promise dramatic, rather than incremental, improvements to communication and productivity. Topics include principles and early options for basic tablet use as well as emerging trends in hardware and software.

W2: Beyond BIM 101: Rebooting Your PracticePresenter: Allan Partridge MAIBC MRAIC AAA

Architecture faces many unique challenges. This session will help practices move beyond simple use of Building Information Modeling in their firms. Through two case studies, participants will learn how to leverage their current BIM skills to effectively move their practices into the realm of Integrated Project Delivery with greater project successes and certainties. They will also learn about software and hardware needs, and how to communicate with other team members who may not share similar software platforms. Participants will also be helped to identify potential risks, and to mitigate and manage those risks inside a shared BIM environment.

W3: Putting the ‘I’ in BIMPresenters:

Richard Brown MAIBC Geraldine Rayner MAIBC RIBA

This session will consider the current health of the architectural, engineering and construction industry with a view to assessing how Building Information Modeling can help consulting teams address the expectations of owners. The aim is to better understand the difference between building modeling and BIM, and to appreciate the “information” aspect of this process. The session will also suggest what Intelligence needs to be included in order to maximize the value of an integrated model for the owner.

Architecture on the Edge

W4: Parametric Logics in ArchitecturePresenter: Maite Bravo B.Arch (Barcelona)

Parametric design may be considered “on the edge” innovation, but it’s already part of architectural history. This introductory session aims to situate parametric design within architectural knowledge and history, with the objective to clarify some basic concepts, contributions and future projections. The research theorizes that parametric design is not just the result of the dissemination of digital tools, but rather a “logic” found in architectural history, particularly during the 20th Century. The presentation will feature about 70 projects constructed over a 120-year span, organized according to diverse generative concepts such as form generation, envelope, environmental performance and materiality.

W5: Architecture on the Edge of Your SeatPresenter: Jason Robbins MRAIC

What is a “black box”? What is the difference between an opera house and a road house? Who are the stage manager, house manager and fly operator? Why did that guy dressed in black just yell at me? Through better knowledge of theatre production facilities and the people who use them, architects can design theatrical spaces with less client frustration, fewer changes, and ultimately better architecture. This seminar will familiarize the architect with the key players of the theatre, as well as the variety of production facilities that can be used to meet the players’ needs.

W6: The Prefabrication of High Quality ArchitecturePresenter: Tony Robins MAIBC

It’s time to spread the word: prefabrication allows for enormous benefits in terms of sustainability, control, speed and quality. Presenter Tony Robins combines a career in thoughtful architecture with co-ownership of a large prefabrication factory in which to produce both his work and that of other architects. This session will equip architects with an understanding of what it takes to get a project built in a factory, including the necessary modularization parameters, construction techniques, detailing, drawings and permits, as well as a brief history of off-site construction and its state of the art.

W7: Emergent Residential Practice and the Small Design Firm: Models for Success in a Difficult MarketPresenter: John Brown FRAIC AAA

The architecture profession has a long-standing but as yet largely unfulfilled commitment to improving the quality of our residential environment. Small architecture firms are uniquely capable of capitalizing on today’s turbulent current conditions in order to create innovative practices that deliver on clear, new visions. In this interactive session, participants will learn how a small firm, practising in new and innovative ways, can help lead the way to a sustainable, affordable residential future.


W8: The Edge of Opportunity: Between Circumstance and ImaginationPresenter: John Patkau MAIBC FRAIC

This session will offer up a number of recent projects from the point of view that architecture exists at the intersection of circumstance and imagination. From this perspective, circumstance consists of an almost endless number of contextual elements including social, cultural, physical, environmental, historical, technological, regulatory and financial considerations. While a complete response to circumstance would address each of these elements, architecture arises from the synthesis of these circumstantial considerations through an act of imagination. This act can be extremely personal and idiosyncratic or, more commonly for the presenter, an expression of cultural meaning and environmental response as well as construction and technology. Explore a proven creative process recognizing that the more inclusive the synthetic mechanism, the more complete the work of architecture.

W9: Making ConnectionsPresenter: Jill Anholt

Architects and landscape architects are increasingly being asked to incorporate public art as part of their projects. In some cases, the relationship between these two creative disciplines can be fraught with tensions and creative collisions. However, the collaboration can also yield unexpected possibilities and open doors to a more resonant perception and communication of ideas and experiences. Presenter Jill Anholt will recount her recent art installations within public spaces that, through the inspirations, collaborations and processes shaping them, have resulted in rich and complex spatial experiences that engage both people and place. In doing so, they allowing for an association of art and architecture that enriches human and urban situations, rather than delivering two estranged outcomes.

W10: La vision québecoise (en français)Presenter: Éric Pelletier OAQ

Cette session rejoint deux objectifs apparentes: d’une part celui de mettre en lumiere les oeuvres exceptionelles crees par des jeunes agences du Quebec, principalement dans la ville de Montreal; et d’autre part, celui de presenter une culture qui promouvoit ouvertement la competition creative entre ses architectes, et d’en discuter les consequences dans son milieu culturel et urbain. Disponible aussi “in English” - F10.

W11: Christophe Hutin (en français)Presenter: Christophe Hutin

Christophe Hutin fait partie des architectes français de la nouvelle génération. Il a ouvert son cabinet à Bordeaux, en 2003, et depuis lors, il a réalisé plusieurs projets résidentiels en France et à l’étranger, aussi loin qu’en Mongolie. À la fois artiste, éducateur et architecte, il cherche à attirer l’attention sur l’architecture que les gens connaissent dans leur quotidien, c’est-à-dire celle des logements, à la différence de l’architecture monumentale ou institutionnelle. Hutin plaide en faveur d’une approche à la conception architecturale qui est sensible au milieu dans lequel le bâtiment est construit et qui tient compte du climat et du paysage – en plus, bien sûr, des personnes qui habiteront dans la maison. Hutin a réalisé un projet coopératif avec l’Afrique du Sud (le pays où il a vécu la plus grande partie de son enfance) en créant le EUNIC studio, après avoir documenté les problèmes de logement dans les villages sud-africains. Le EUNIC STUDIO a été créé en 2008 en partenariat avec les Instituts culturels européens implantés à Johannesburg. L’événement a pour objectif, par le biais d’échanges d’expériences entre professionnels et étudiants d’Europe et d’Afrique, de porter une réflexion sur les conditions de vie en Afrique du Sud. Parmi les autres réalisations de Christophe Hutin, mentionnons la rénovation de la salle de spectacles l’Estaminet en collaboration étroite avec les artistes. Avec le soutien du Consulat général de France à Vancouver.

The Technology of Architecture

W12: RAIC SDCB 303: High Performance Enclosure Design (6 Hours)Presenters:

Dr. Ray Cole Dr. John Straube

The year 2030 has been set as the “carbon neutral” target date by architectural associations around the world, including the American Institute of Architects and Architecture Canada. This course will provide Canadian architects with the knowledge and new design solutions required to design energy-efficient building enclosures (roofs, walls, foundations, windows and doors) appropriate for net-zero energy buildings. Presenters Dr. Ray Cole Hon. MAIBC (Professor - School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, University of British Columbia) and Dr. John Straube (Assistant Professor - Department of Civil Engineering and the School of Architecture, University of Waterloo; Principal, Building Science Corporation) will share their insights during this full-day course of great interest to architects, engineers and other building science professionals. This intermediate/advanced level course qualifies for six hours of core credits with all provincial and territorial associations of architects.

The Environment

W13: Is it Too Late to Save Earth 1.0?Presenter: Richard Balfour MAIBC

While architects as senior citizens entered the field about the time of the Club of Rome’s Limits to Growth report, the profession has talked “green” but not really taken command of designing for the “downslope of energy” and the now-incipient crunch in what is left of the earth’s resources. We have been part of the problem, which now makes our job much more difficult. We have the real hard choices to make. Can an architect actually take command when alternatives have to be created in the field, on the spot, and under duress? Can we lead, or do we continue to just play a reactionary role? This is not a drill.

W14: EQuilibrium Homes: The Green Dream Home and Harmony HousePresenters:

Chris Mattock MRAIC Dale Parkes MAIBC

EQuilibrium™, a national sustainable housing demonstration initiative led by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, brings together the private and public sectors to develop homes that combine resource- and energy-efficient technologies with renewable energy technologies in order to reduce their environmental impact. Project teams have been selected to build EQuilibrium™ Housing demonstration projects across Canada. This presentation will feature the only two EQuilibrium homes currently being constructed in B.C. The designers will discuss the different paths taken to achieve net-zero energy consumption, and make recommendations regarding how we can get “net-zero ready” for all new houses by 2015. Various research projects being carried out on the homes will also be discussed.

W15: Building Performance Simulation and Energy Modeling: An Essential Service in Fostering Integrated DesignPresenter: Bojan Andjelkovic P.Eng.

In considering upcoming building code changes, architects and engineers will need to push the boundaries in energy-efficient building design. Building performance simulation, as an essential service in fostering integrated design, is one of the key factors in creating energy efficient, comfortable and healthy buildings. Frequently related to “energy modeling”, building performance simulation can do much more. It allows design teams to accurately assess various “what if” scenarios during the initial building design stage, optimize and integrate different passive and active systems (such as building envelope, lighting and HVAC), and explore synergies between the two.

W16: The Retrofit ChallengePresenter: Jay Stuart RIBA

Retrofitting our building stock is necessary to reduce energy consumption. It is also challenging because every building is different. Despite many government programs, retrofitting is not happening at sufficient scale. While it is generally considered to be on the edge of conventional architectural practice, it requires the skills of architects to ensure effectiveness. Knowledge of building physics, services and renewable energy systems is necessary to achieve integrated solutions. This session will describe the international experience of retrofitting programs and the barriers to retrofitting, provide models for organisations that remove these barriers, and identify the principles and criteria for effective retrofitting.

Genius Loci

W17: Residential Care Design Guidelines: A Lean ReviewPresenters:

Patricia Darling MAIBC Lorelei Grosser M.Sc.

This session will provide design professionals with an update on the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority’s Residential Care Design Guidelines. These guidelines were previously shared as a work-in-progress for an AIBC education session in 2005. In addition to covering developments since then, this presentation will also seek to inform architects on the use of “lean thinking” in healthcare planning at Vancouver Coastal Health.

W18: Designing for Outpatient Care: North America and Europe ComparedPresenter: Ray Pradinuk MAIBC

Outpatient care may seem among the simplest areas to plan: patients register, wait, are seen in an examination room, and leave. However, there are dramatically different approaches to the layout of outpatient care areas on either side of the Atlantic, with implications for patient convenience, comfort and dignity as well as caregiver efficiency. With patient care increasingly migrating to outpatient settings, it is important to weigh the implications of each approach.

W19: Hyper Campus: Forces Shaping UBC’s Built Environment, Past, Present and FuturePresenter: Gerry McGeough MAIBC

The University of British Columbia is in mid-course of developing a billion dollars worth of new academic buildings and landscape on its Vancouver Point Grey campus. Integral to this development is a set of ambitious and interrelated planning objectives to create a world-class teaching, learning and research facility that is physically accessible, sustainable, vibrant and interesting to the campus community and visitors. It will also result in a rediscovered sense of place. To achieve this last objective, the creative team grounded itself with an understanding of the ideas and values embodied in UBC’s physical environment. What emerged was a series of themes that define UBC’s physical identity. This presentation will describe recent UBC architecture and landscapes projects that have sought to embody these themes while delivering the university’s other planning objectives.

W20: Small Things Matter: Public Recreation ArchitecturePresenter: Bruce Carscadden MAIBC MRAIC

Drawing on the 2009 Lieutenant Governor’s Award-winning Robert Burnaby, Kensington and Swalwell Park buildings, as well as other recent park facilities and larger recreations projects, Bruce Carscadden MAIBC will discuss the central importance of small things and thoughtful details to the success of public recreation design and architecture. Particular attention will be given to the innovative use of materials to address modern issues and create beautiful and durable public spaces that push the boundaries of what can be accomplished within modest budgets and expectations.

The Business of Architecture

T1: Small Practice: The Competitive EdgePresenters:

Michel Labrie MAIBC MIRAC Matthew Woodruff MAIBC

The nature of architectural practice is changing. Core services, practice models and the tools architects use all seem to be in flux. In this context, the small practice can feel beset and vulnerable, with neither the resilience nor the clout to stay ahead of the curve. When just hanging on sometimes feels like an accomplishment for the sole proprietor, investing the time and resources needed to enter new markets, or to change our ways of working, can seem impossible. Focussing on the themes of emerging areas of expertise, collaboration and the virtual office, this session will seek to demonstrate that within this shifting landscape, exciting opportunities do exist.

T2: Social BIM vs. Lonely BIMPresenter: Marwan Bakri

Today, Building Information Modeling is practised differently from one project to another, and from one design team to the next due to uneven BIM competency. This session will focus on two project environments: Lonely BIM, commonly seen with early adaptors, versus a fully integrated climate known as Social BIM. Case studies from current BIM projects at Ledcor will be presented to support each concept.

T3: Going Green: A Cautionary Tale (3 Hours)Presenters:

John C.A.Hackett OAA FRAIC Ujjval K. Vyas Ph.D. J.D. Bernard McGarva LL.B

This session will reveal some of the unintended consequences and unanticipated liability accruing to architects arising from the pursuit of sustainable or “green” design. The first part will identify issues that have arisen in the U.S.A. and Canada which remind architects that even the best of intentions respecting “going green” can lead to unforeseen liabilities and problems. This will provide context for the second part of the program, a review of some of the growing number of instances and circumstances where “green design” is associated with professional liability insurance claims that have arisen in both the U.S.A. and Canada. A series of scenarios respecting legal and liability considerations, many of them involving LEED® projects, will be presented and reviewed by a three-person panel, inviting questions and discussion from the audience.


T4: Balancing Design and Consulting on the Frontier of Responsible DesignPresenter: Steven T. Kaup MAIBC MRAIC AIA

Today’s architects are on the edge of a new frontier that demands environmentally responsible built environments. Be it evolving methods of project delivery such as Building Information Modeling, or quickly advancing requirements for assembling high-performance buildings, contemporary architecture is responding with processes and aesthetics that reflect this new reality. This session will look at multiple case studies of current B.C. projects that implement sustainable design programs and utilize adaptive project delivery methods.

T5: Rice Strawbale and Steel: Sustainable Path to Zero Energy Use in BuildingsPresenter: Marek Stoklosa MAIBC MRAIC AIA

This innovative session will examine sustainable design solutions utilizing by-products of the rice harvest as well as recycled steel. Participants will discover the benefits and uses of strawbale and steel in modern buildings, including code compliance. You will also come away with a better understanding of the global impact of rice harvesting as it relates to the building industry, along with future applications for rice strawbale and steel in green building construction.

T6: Research on the Edge of EuropePresenter: Jay Stuart RIBA

The current European Union research program for energy efficiency in buildings has a budget of one billion euros over three years. There are opportunities for Canadian architects to get involved in this research, and to benefit from the EU’s research and development programs which continue to generate useful knowledge and technologies that can be used in Canada. This presentation will provide useful examples, describe how to find information on specific project results, and suggest how to get involved in research projects. The experience in Ireland – “on the edge” of Europe and “on the edge” of economic survival – will benefit participants by demonstrating resilient strategies for practice.

T7: Implementing Human Rights in Architectural PracticePresenter: Graeme Bristol MAIBC MRAIC

The protection and advancement of human rights is about much more than law. However, as human rights law evolves, the profession of architecture must evolve with it. This is not simply about exposure to new areas of liability but also about making design work better. How can we implement a rights-based approach to the practice of our profession? This session will provide answers to this important question.


T8: Development and Tendencies in Our Architecture WorkPresenter: Christof Jantzen AIA

Architects are driven by the belief that our surroundings directly influence the quality of our lives, whether in the work place, at home or in the public spaces in between. This emphasis on the social dimension is fundamental to our design philosophy, which takes as its starting point the acknowledgement that architecture is generated by the needs of people - needs that may be spiritual as well as material. Presenter Christof Jantzen AIA is with Behnisch Architekten, an internationally renown firm headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany with branch offices in Boston, Massachusetts and Venice, California.

T9: Humane Modernism: Apple Stores NYCPresenters:

Karl Backus AIA Ray Calabro AIA

Founded in 1965, Bohlin Cywinski Jackson has offices in Wilkes-Barre, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Seattle and San Francisco. The firm’s work, which ranges greatly in scale, is widely recognized for using the nature of circumstance as inspiration for visually rich and emotionally powerful architecture. Karl Backus AIA and Ray Calabro AIA will present their firm’s interest in humane modernism through the success of the Apple® Store Fifth Avenue and other notable Apple® flagship stores, as well as the influence of Apple® on other Bohlin Cywinski Jackson projects.

T10: The Genius of CollaborationPresenter: Marianne McKenna OAA OAQ AIA FRAIC

Architecture is one of the most collaborative art forms, the product of the visions and insights of many. The genius of collaboration describes the driving force behind Toronto-based Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects’ ability to consistently reinvent and evolve a diversity of project typologies that catalyze the building of vibrant communities and ensure the sustainability of the organizations that form a civil society. KPMB Founding Partner Marianne McKenna will discuss a range of unique design and technical collaborations that are ultimately the essence of creativity and innovation in contemporary architecture, from the integrated art walls at the offices of Torys LLP to the flowing oak strings of the wood acoustic veil in Koerner Hall, part of the Royal Conservatory at the TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning in Toronto.

T11: The Architecture of Étienne GabouryPresenter: Faye Hellner

A recent receipient of the Order of Canada, Étienne Gaboury is known for his regional prairie designs that incorporate elements of the physical, emotional and spiritual. He has completed more than 300 projects around the world including the iconic Église du Précieux Sang in St. Boniface, Manitoba, and the Canadian Embassy in Mexico City. Learn more about one of the most important Canadian architects of the 20th Century.

Thursday, May 26The Technology of Architecture

T12: Shaking Things Up: Improved Seismic Performance of Buildings by Implementing Base Isolation and Supplemental Dissipation DevicesPresenter: John Sherstobitoff P.Eng.

New Seismic Force Resisting Systems (SFRSs) have been introduced into the recently-released 2010 National Building Code of Canada (NBCC 2010), including buckling-restrained bracing and cold-formed steel. There are also many other “new and innovative” SFRSs in various stages, from research to implementation, as well as a range of devices to reduce seismic demand compared to conventional systems. Such systems and devices should be of interest to architects designing “architecture on the edge” in high seismic zones, as a means to improve seismic performance or, in some cases, to simply enable leading-edge architecture to achieve code or owner-selected post-earthquake performance.

T13: Air Apparent: Condensation and Indoor Air Quality Problems in High Performance Building EnclosuresPresenter: Brian Hubbs P.Eng.

Current trends in both architectural design and Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, combined with changes in building enclosure design for improved water penetration control and energy efficiency, often increase the potential for condensation-related moisture problems. This session will examine these changes through a series of case studies showcasing typical problems. Innovative monitoring and modeling techniques that shed new light on the multi-disciplinary cause of such problems will also be presented.

T14: Designing With Natural Stone: An Exploration in Trends and Advancements in Integration, Technology and High PerformancePresenters:

Mike Picco P.Eng. Stephanie Vierra Associate Member AIA

Current and future issues of sustainability require innovation and the thoughtful balance of design integration with the latest technology. Advancements in the stone industry continue to push the boundaries while also addressing goals such as sustainability. Understanding stone and these recent advancements allows the designer to optimize the benefits and potential of natural stone in any project, resulting in high performance design. This session features a case study of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, showcasing the design and construction process, and providing lessons in integration and advanced technology in the context of solving complex social, architectural and environmental problems.

T15: Six in Wood: Technical Innovations in Wood Frame DesignPresenters:

Patrick Cotter MAIBC AIA Andrew Harmsworth P.Eng CP Sukh Johal, Technical Advisor - B.C. Woodworks Khash Vorell M.Eng, P.Eng

The advent of six-storey wood frame buildings presents a unique series of design challenges resulting in responses and details that are new to wood frame buildings. This session will provide an overview of primary design challenges, and focus on a few of the more innovative responses such as non-masonry firewalls, wood elevator cores, and noncombustible cladding systems.

The Environment

T16: Regenerative Design ToolsPresenters:

Peter Busby MAIBC AIA FRAIC AAA OAA BCID Dr. Ray Cole

The regenerative design framework consists of three interconnected tools used by designers in a number of different ways and stages to instill regenerative principles into the design of buildings. The first is a set of graphics that illustrate the human and ecological benefits resulting from regenerative design. The second is a set of graphics and supporting information that identifies design strategies to positively engage with the major resource flows. The third consists of graphics and supporting information that communicate regenerative performance and advances over best-practice green design. This framework serves as a tool for moving design strategies beyond best-practice green design toward buildings and systems that positively affect their surroundings. Presenters Peter Busby MAIBC and Dr. Ray Cole Hon. MAIBC will outline the development of this innovative tool and explore its implementation.

T17: When Low-carbon Means Low-cost: Putting Lessons From Nature to Work in Our CitiesPresenter: Stephen J Salter P.Eng.

Standards such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) have successfully encouraged design teams to reduce the ecological footprint of buildings and neighbourhoods. This session will explain how a related discipline – industrial ecology – can reduce the footprint of an entire community. It will explore the many interdependencies between green buildings and green community-based energy, and help design teams to understand how community energy systems foster green buildings, and vice versa.

T18: Sustainable Architectural WoodworkPresenters:

Stephen Glegg Moira Rowan Jim Taylor

This seminar will arm you with a powerful tool for providing your clients with an architectural woodwork product manufactured using environmentally sustainable materials, processes, and a commitment to their communities.

T19: There is More to Architectural Concrete Than GreenPresenter: John Archer MRAIC

Although Canada has a rich heritage with architectural concrete, its potential as a beautiful, sustainable building material is not as well appreciated by architects today as it should be. This presentation will address how to make good concrete, how to make it sustainable, and how to take advantage of its potential in the areas of colour, form and texture in order to make it beautiful as well as functional.

Genius Loci

T20: Design in the New World Order: Maintaining Design Quality in the P3 ProcessPresenters:

Andrew King MRAIC Ron McIntyre MAIBC MRAIC AAA

Most provinces have now embraced the Public-Private Partnerships delivery model for large capital projects. The role of the architect has changed dramatically with P3s. This session will discuss interactively how to raise, maintain and advocate for design quality – objectives that are challenging but more important than ever given the magnitude and impact of these projects.

T21: Development for DummiesPresenter: Kirsten Reite MAIBC MRAIC

Take an enlightening journey through one architect’s experiences with her own development project in the politically charged neighbourhood of Vancouver’s Strathcona / Downtown East Side. Issues discussed will include financing, construct-ability, design and zoning challenges as well as the possible impacts, both positive and negative, affecting future change from the perspective of small business.

T22: Vancouver Architecture: Present TensePresenters:

Veronica Gilles MAIBC Chris McDonald FRAIC Matthew Soules MAIBC MRAIC

The recently published A Guidebook to Contemporary Architecture in Vancouver identifies the city’s most remarkable architectural projects completed between 1986 – British Columbia’s Expo year – and 2010, the year of the Olympics & Paralympic Winter Games. In this two-part session, the authors will describe (and participants will gain insights respecting) the critical method used to select the featured works, including discussion of some of the worthy designs excluded from the deliberations. Recommended itineraries edited from the guidebook will also provide distilled glimpses into the realm of Vancouver’s architecture and urban environment.

T23: Searching For TruePresenter: James Cutler FAIA

This presentation will explore the nature of places and materials, and how this investigation can lead to endless varieties of architecture that can be created by the nature of the place and the emotional responses that place elicits.

Presidents’ Dinner & Awards Gala7:00 - 9:30 p.m.The Presidents’ Dinner & Awards Gala is one of the most prestigious of all architectural events in the province. Guests to this black tie gathering are treated to a celebration of the 2011 Annual AIBC Architectural Awards and the Architecture Canada Awards of Excellence.

RAIC Gold Medalist LuncheonSpeaker / Recipient: Bing Thom CM MAIBC FRAIC AIA12:00 noon - 1:30 p.m.

Growing up as one of few Chinese immigrant children on Vancouver’s west side, Bing Thom developed a vanguard’s spirit. He quickly learned to speak up for himself and others, something that continued to his university days when he embraced the radical student movement of the 1960s as a graduate student in Berkeley, California. There he helped pioneer one of the first academic programs in Ethnic Studies in North America. Early work experience with architects Arthur Erickson and Fumihiko Maki evolved into a teaching career at the University of Singapore and later at the University of British Columbia. As a senior project director in Erickson’s office, he led design teams responsible for several acclaimed international projects, including the Bunker Hill project in Los Angeles and the Napp Laboratories in Cambridge, England.

Always the vanguard, Thom started his own firm at the height of the 1980s recession. Through ingenuity and necessity, he was involved in all aspects of project development, expanding his design skills with construction knowledge, real estate acumen, and a willingness to explore new approaches to design and building. This holistic approach to architecture has been fundamental to the way that Thom works. It has also helped him appreciate the power of architecture to influence the economic and social circumstances of communities. As the proud recipient of the 2011 RAIC Gold Medal, Bing Thom will share his early influences and reflect on the people and events that have helped shape his career and life.

F3: Architectural Photography the Digital Way (3 Hours)Presenter: Gerry Kopelow

This course provides practical instruction and inspiration for design professionals who need to create effective, impactful architectural photography using digital cameras. The session covers camera and lens choices, image composition, perspective and colour control, as well as an introduction to electronic image manipulation with Adobe® Photoshop®.


F4: Soar Winners: How Far Can You Fly Your Project?Presenters:

John Dery Blair Nadeau

This session will rationalize how and why corporations need to secure a solid business vision up front, prior to going to market for “solutions”. It will examine long-term business goals as the key component to driving requirements, and show how a solution does not necessarily require “IT solutions”. Participants will also open up conversation on methodologies used to solidify a business’ goals, then translate them into requirements.

F5: BTAworks: Tales From the EdgePresenters:

Eileen Keenan RIBA Andy Yan MCIP

BTAworks is the independent research and development division of Bing Thom Architects. It works on the belief that architects bring a unique perspective to the challenge of achieving sustainability, and have a responsibility to contribute to the shaping of policies for better urban living. Its diverse investigations include analyzing and interpreting data about the Metro Vancouver region and presenting it in a form that encourages further enquiry and public discussion. This session will highlight recent studies on the effects of climate change, condominium ownership, and declining school enrollment in the area, and explore why such information should matter to architects. All are studies that relate to the social, economic, and ecological context and challenges for architecture for Metro Vancouver’s short- and long-term futures.

F6: Surrey City Centre: Raising the Image by Investing in Architecture and Urban DesignPresenters:

Scott Kemp MAIBC MRAIC (Moderator) Lee Gavel MAIBC Michael Heeney MAIBC Grant Murray, Vice President - Sales, Concord Diarmuid Nash MAIBC OAA Mary Beth Rondeau MAIBC

This panel of presenters will provide different perspectives on the public and private investment in creating Surrey, B.C.’s new civic precinct and city centre. The city’s Simon Fraser University/Central City Tower by Bing Thom Architects has become an icon for the “new Surrey” of innovation and business. A new city hall (Moriyama & Teshima/Kasian Architects) and library (Bing Thom Architects) will add to this image, while a contemporary, green public realm network will provide the necessary amenity for this growing urban centre to attract development interest – all working together to create a new downtown south of the Fraser River.

F7: A Flock of Satellites: Design on the Edge Between University and CommunityPresenter: Rick Haldenby FRAIC

Over the last decade, universities and municipalities across Canada have collaborated on the development of satellite campuses that aim to provide new educational and research facilities, and to create catalysts for core area revitalization, economic development and cultural stimulus. The catalogue of such projects should be better known to architects, especially since such collaborations are even more likely in future. Good educational design has to do with much more than simply providing space and facilities; it entails creating institutional identity and community connection. Success depends on understanding the true interests of all parties. Presenter Rick Haldenby, director of the University of the Waterloo’s School of Architecture, has been involved in more than a dozen projects of this type, including three schools of architecture.


F8: A Culture of InnovationPresenter: Peter Busby MAIBC AIA FRAIC AAA OAA BCID

As a proponent of sustainable design in Canada for more than 25 years, Peter Busby MAIBC is recognized as one of the most innovative designers in the country. Through a continued drive to create greater harmony between the natural and built environments, his innovation provides incentive for proactive idea exploration, technical development, design collaboration and growth amongst his staff and peers to redefine architecture as an essential tool for a greener future. His firm, Busby Perkins+Will, challenges architects at all levels to maximize the opportunities around them, reaching higher to improve the performance of our buildings and the health of our environment. Gain insight into a culture of innovation that acknowledges a fast-paced industry and strives to be a leader within it.

F9: The Extremities of Tradition: Olson Kundig Architects’ Approach to Context, Materiality and ConstructionPresenters:

Tom Kundig FAIA Kirsten R. Murray

A major distinguishing characteristic of the Pacific Northwest “school” of architecture is its allegiance to region, site and composition. The work of Seattle’s Olson Kundig Architects emerges from this tradition but operates at its extremities. Its projects overleap site conditions to engage powerful themes within the broader discourse on architecture. Principals and collaborators Tom Kundig and Kirsten R. Murray will discuss the award-winning firm’s recent work, including approach to site and materiality, and how technological innovations are providing opportunities to challenge traditional notions of craft and construction.

F10: View from Quebec (English)Presenter: Éric Pelletier OAQ

This session has two separate but related goals: to highlight the work of young and small firms doing exceptional work in Quebec, especially Montreal; and to illuminate and discuss a culture of open, creative competition within the cultural and civic stakeholders community. The session is offered both en français (W10) and in English.

F11: Christophe Hutin (English)Presenter: Christophe Hutin

One of the new generation of French architects, Christophe Hutin founded his architectural office in Bordeaux in 2003, and since then has completed several house projects in France and as far away as Mongolia. An artist and educator as well as an architect, much of his work is dedicated to bringing attention to architecture that people encounter in their daily lives - such as housing - in constrast to monumental or institutional architecture. Hutin also advocates an approach to architectural design that is sensitive to its environment, taking into consideration climate, landscape and the future residents. In 2008, having documented the issue of housing in the Southern African townships, he developed a cooperative initiative with the government of South Africa and various Europian cultural institutes in Johannesburg. Titled EUNIC STUDIO, its objective is to research the living conditions in South Africa through experience sharing between professionals and students, both European and African. Other projects include the renovation of l’Estaminet concert hall, and work in close cooperation with artists. This session is upported by the Consulate General of France in Vancouver. Disponsible eu francais - W11.

The Technology of Architecture

F12: Code Alert! Changes to the National Building Code of Canada 2010Presenter: Alan Brown MAIBC CP

This session by a recognized code expert offers a summary of changes in the National Building Code of Canada 2010 . These revisions will be substantially brought forward into the BC Building Code 2011, expected to be enacted later this year. Among the topics discussed will be important changes to spatial separation, the new B3 occupancy, and secondary suite rules. A question-and-answer period will follow.

F13: The Hotel Georgia RestorationPresenters:

Malcolm Elliot MAIBC MRAIC AAA Mark Lawton P.Eng.

Opened in 1927, the Hotel Georgia is a Vancouver landmark that has opened its doors to royalty, scoundrels and a host of famous entertainers. The historic hotel is now the centerpiece of a new, integrated mixed-use development that includes a 500’ residential / office tower, eight levels of underground parking and fitness spa facilities. Sustainable features include geothermal and photovoltaic installations. The architect and the building envelope engineer for this major renovation will present a case study detailing the significant design, approval and technical challenges presented by the renovation of this 85-year-old heritage landmark to meet the stringent requirements of a modern five-star hotel.

F14: Smart Structural ReconstructionsPresenters:

Dr. Didier Pettinga Micheal O’Keeffe PEng, Struct.Eng

Reconstructions from a structural point-of-view will be examined, including looking for ways to reduce costs, time and materials while still maintaining the architectural vision for the project.

F15: Universal Design: Beyond the RampPresenter: Ron Wickman AAA MRAIC

As simply issues of good design, beautiful buildings must increase usability, safety, and health for a diverse population including those with disabilities. It is safe to say that we all know someone with a disability. By 2026, 20% of Canada’s population will be older than 65. More and more people will be facing challenges of mobility and access. Still, we continue to build without enough thought for this very real future. How can this possibly be considered a sustainable way of thinking? Just as architects increasingly incorporate sustainability into their work, so must they incorporate barrier-free access - not because a bylaw forces them to, but because it should be inconceivable not to.

Michael McDonald MAIBC Stanis Smith MAIBC FRAIC Nancy Stern MAIBC MRAIC

Increased access to air travel and significant growth in global passenger volume are driving a need for new international airports and the redevelopment of existing airport facilites. Along with increasing competition for market share, these catalytic factors have caused airport authorities to focus their efforts on the creation of iconic design – not only for a competitive edge but to also promote national and regional identity. Key factors to success are the passenger experience and its relationship to the design solution in terms of function, comfort and cost. Using the 2010 Skytrax survey results, an international industry benchmarking for passenger satisfaction, this presentation will explore how architecture impacts the passenger experience for the top global airports. Case studies of international and Canadian airports, many of which are leading in their Skytrax categories, will provide insight into the architectural edge that helps to create a great airport.

F17: Going Green: Resistance is FutilePresenters:

Chris Allen MAIBC Scott Kemp MAIBC MRAIC Nick Sully MAIBC

Take part in an examination of three small, green projects realized by three architects, with presentations of the building systems and green technologies they used, followed by a panel discussion on the challenges encountered with authorities having jurisdiction.

F18: Classrooms for the 21st CenturyPresenter: Barry Brennand - Education Solutions, Steelcase Inc.

Despite the modern construction undertaken by many colleges and universities, it is typical classroom space that may be most in need of a makeover. Classrooms seem stuck in the past: rows of desks, all facing forward, an instructor podium, and a standard writing board affixed to the wall. The plan, furniture and tools are very ‘90s in design and function. The 1890s, that is. While century-old classroom design may have been fine for rote memorization, “Gen Y” is bringing new tools, expectations, attitudes, and learning styles to campus. Twenty-first Century learning spaces must nurture collaboration and hands-on learning. Building on studies of classrooms, labs, libraries and other higher-education learning spaces, this presentation will show how classroom design can better meet the educational needs of today’s students, faculty and administrators.

F19: 21st Century Learning: Pedagogy, Community, SustainabilityPresenters:

Henry Ahking, Previously Registered Member Randall Fielding AIA Eric Thorleifson P.Eng.

The K-12 public education system is undergoing transformative change. This presentation will focus on what practitioners need to know for designing schools for the 21st Century. There will be a particular focus on accommodating the pedagogy of modern learning, allowing for the increasing community use of school facilities, and knowing how school buildings must respond to the environmental and sustainability issues of the day.

Genius Loci

F20: Director’s Cut II (6 Hours)Moderator: Mark Holland

Back by popular demand, Director’s Cut II will bring together a panel of planning directors from five Canadian cities. Each of these municipal planning departments is faced with local, regional and sometimes global stresses that weigh on their communities. The panel will focus on successful (and not so successful) planning initiatives undertaken in these cities to address issues arising in their “genius loci”. This will be followed by a design charrette incorporating five groups, each hosted by a planning director and focused on ”livable, sustainable cities” with an overall view of introducing sustainable master planning to reduce GHG emissions. Participants will take a fresh approach to planning in order to reduce the consumption of non-renewable resources, and increase the integration of renewable energy strategies. The charrette will feature the presentation of ideas put forward by each group – ideas that the directors can take back to their own communities.
