CONNECTIONS
This issue of Architecture SD magazine focuses on the topic of CONNECTIONS which we all deal with on personal and professional levels each day. Whether we think of connections as an act or a state of being connected, being something that connects or links, or being a relationship or part of an association, clearly connections are something that are part of our everyday lives.
Being a member of AIA South Dakota and the national AIA organization connects us to our colleagues, our peers, and for many of us, our architectural mentors. It helps to contribute to the richness of our architectural communities. Connection to our architectural history helps drive us forward architecturally into the next chapter, while honoring our past. Connections to our colleagues and mentors allows us DAVID A.

Sioux in rm to collaborate and collectively strive for greatness in design which impacts our society. Connections to our school of architecture at South Dakota State University helps to elevate the next generation of architects to ensure that design will always matter. Through community outreach opportunities, like Design:SD, connections are made in small towns across South Dakota helping to bring awareness to design and architecture where sometimes it is not a priority.
Connections really do matter … just like architecture really does matter. Architecture is a connection that we all can share and experience together. Celebrate great design. Reach out to a colleague, make a connection, and tell them “good job” when you see something worth celebrating. Connect with our state’s school of architecture, maybe by spending a day with a group of students and the faculty. Volunteer to be a job shadow mentor to a student at one of our state’s technical schools or high schools. If you haven’t been to our AIA South Dakota annual convention recently, make it a priority and make some new connections there. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
To my fellow architects, as a leader in your community and our state, I urge you to make a new ,

I hope that you enjoy this issue of the Architecture SD magazine. There’s so much going on in our state worth celebrating and some of that work is highlighted in this issue. On behalf of the board of directors for AIA South Dakota, I would like to extend a heartfelt “Thank You” to everyone that contributed.

aiasouthdakota.org 5 chapternews Welcome to the organization of South Dakota’s architects. AIA South Dakota is a non-profi t membership organization made up of architects, future architects, and partners in the built design industries. Our members tap into a network of design professionals from across our state to enjoy great opportunities to learn, share, and promote architecture as well as to advance the important idea that design matters in every South Dakota community. For architect, associate, or allied membership information, please visit aiasouthdakota.org.
For Community Leaders: Who Needs an AIA Architect? Hiring an architect for your residential or commercial design project could be the best decision you’ll ever make. But many people don’t know how or why architects make design work. At AIA’s How Design Works for You website you’ll learn how to work with an architect, as well as how to fi nd the right architect for your project. Visit howdesignworks.aia.org.
Find an Architect Near You Whether you’re dreaming of a new home or planning commercial or public space, involving an architect from the start is the key to success. Use the Find an Architect feature at aiasouthdakota.org to locate South Dakota architecture fi rms in your area. You can search by region or fi rm name. You can also search for architects anywhere in the world on AIA’s Architect Finder at aia.org. (Members: log in to your aia.org account to update your Architect Finder listing and profi le today.)
Co-design a Bright Future for Your Rural Community Imagine a team of architects, other design professionals, and community development specialists helping your town shape its future. Members of design:SD volunteer for three-day workshops to look, listen, and learn, then sketch and illustrate your community’s visions and goals in a way you can put to good work. Thanks to our partnership with the South Dakota State University Department of Architecture, Hanley Wood, and a new partnership with Dakota Resources, design:SD will now form a lasting relationship of co-design with site communities. To learn more about inviting the team or volunteering, visit aiasouthdakota.org.
AIA Supports International Green Construction Code The AIA supports the International Green Construction Code (IgCC), a model code expected to help conserve energy in both commercial buildings and residential structures while providing direction for safe and sustainable building design and construction. See the code and how it will impact design at aia.org/igcc.

First, as Mitch Jackson discovered, attract- ing artists is good for business. Even the loft-dwellers who live above Queen City enjoy brushing shoulders with the creative energy bustling nearby. Building owners Erika and David Billion are adding a gal- lery right outside Queen City’s doors to showcase local visual artists, which has potential to boost Jackson’s cultural col- lateral even more.
Hugh Weber, CEO of the creative organi- zation OTA (as well as bestselling author on Amazon.com and champion for home- town creative workers) says contemporary South Dakota can tend to be a “car-scale” state, where buildings are designed to be seen at 50 miles per hour. That mindset limits or outright ignores the rich potential for architects to build on a human scale.
The midwestern states of North Dakota, Minnesota, and South Dakota (Weber’s “OTA states”) boast ourishing arts communities with massive potential for growth. Architects and designers bene t from crafting structures that add to this artistic blossoming. Ignore the possible – risk being left behind.
“Certainly there will be more Instagram photos of these refurbished buildings in downtown than there will be of the new events center or the mall,” Weber says.
And in case the in uence of Instagram sounds beside-the-point, consider the

They wander the site, fueled by coffee and freshly baked goods. They photograph the chandelier and the re door latches. Then they examine every- thing again on a different day just to see how the lighting has shifted.
Their connection to the building is this strong; they return, again and again, solv- ing problems, launching ideas, planning performances, reveling in the beauty and meaning of the surrounding buildings and green spaces. Simply put, they like who they are when they are here and they keep coming back for more.
The way people pass through this South Dakota can add to the ow of new ideas and experiences, Weber says – providing a sense of constant statewide renewal.
“Our spaces can be much better at facili- tating that,” he says.

Design is everywhere, yet it can be easily overlooked. Our mission at the Sioux Falls Design Center is to inform and engage the public on design in the community. We do this by partnering with design groups like AIA SD, hosting events, workshops and lectures. See more of what we do at www.siouxfallsdesigncenter.org

Land use and development decisions can often experience opposition, and Sioux Falls expects to encounter periodic resistance to higher density development, along with concerns about transition from single-family residential to multifamily, of ce, and commercial uses. But Shape Places is an updated zoning ordinance that will provide an effective tool for the ever-changing demands of a growing community like Sioux Falls. In the end, it is designed to provide more choices for living, working, and recreation, and expand opportunities for innovative environments that promote healthier, more satisfying lives by connecting people to “places.” integrityi ||i innovation i | quality ONE SOURCE

in the fall of 2014. Educator at South Dakota State University Interior designers strive to connect their users to the environments with which they interact. They want to evoke a certain type of feeling and experience through the physical, psycho- logical, and situational aspects of the design in a way that ows seamlessly and isn’t obvious to an untrained eye, but feels natural and intentional.
Incorporating psychology into interior design is an attempt to control the relationship and Interior Design switch to full-time recently made the designer for 11 years, a practicing interior CHRISTOPHERSON, TAMMY behavior between its inhabitants. “If you start with the idea that you focus on place you can turn that to your advantage and realize that every building, every bench, every tree has an opportunity for helping to create place,” according to Fred Kent of Project for Public Places. People often create an attachment to a particular place, creating emotional con- nections to various locations based on a unique experience. “Places root us to the earth, to our own history and memories, to our families and larger community.” (Cooper-Marcus & Frances, 1998). The combination of environmental, physical, and situational connections are the building blocks for creating relationships between user and the built environment.
26 ARCHITECTURE SOUTH DAKOTA | winter 2014-15 Connections can often be made by appealing to the senses – sound, scent, and sight. Environmental connections through sound may include a music selection, the background clatter of a noisy kitchen, voices of people nearby, or even pure silence. Your favorite restaurant or dessert bar and retail stores often have a scent system being circulated throughout the space to evoke a certain experience. Visual prompts are placed in spaces as way of nding cues, marketing attempts, and perceived security.
The physical aspects of interior design are often the most recog- nizable connections made between the environment and its user. The functionality of a space is the main focus for an interior de- signer. First impressions are the brand’s initial attempt to con- nect to its user from the moment they touch the handle on the front door. What do you want your users to feel as they enter? What will your space say about your brand? Brand sensitivity is the connection between space and brand recognition, incorporat- ing colors, materials, textures, objects, and any visual cues that signal a certain brand. Space planning plays an important role in how your organization is perceived and allows you to control how connected your user may feel through wide open collabor- ative spaces, or closed off, compartmentalized private spaces. Physical aspects of place may also include the opportunities to personalize a space to create an intimate connection with space. People are seeking balance between work and home more than ever. Allowing employees to personalize their space to feel more like home nurtures this connection.
Situational connections are dependent on their context or “situa- tion.” Paths of circulation can be con gured to foster connections between users by enhancing or limiting the exposure to others within the space. Spaces can foster exploration and interaction with its users based on the design and function of the space. The orientation and context of public versus private spaces give cues to its users on how these spaces are to be utilized. These situa- tions foster or inhibit social connections between users, further creating deeper connections to a space.
An environment should be a re ection of the connections desired by the client. Maybe the user should stay awhile, maybe its a short visit, but either way a design professional will create a space that emulates your brand, and is a place of comfort and productiv- ity, as well as functionality.

I can still feel the burn of the sun on my shoulders as I stood in the front yard of the farmhouse, a younger version of myself, as the shrill sound of my grandma’s whistle pierced the air.

Without these animals we had nothing – no income, no food, and no commodity to trade for goods. The raising, transport, and processing of livestock and crops was a way of life for many in the region, including my family. Without it, our lives and regional community would never be the same.

aiasouthdakota.org 33 Meanwhile, the First National Bank Building is one of Dow’s more intricate stone creations. It bore prominent architectural features with its castle-like crenellated towers.
In Watertown, a massive downtown stone build- ing, which became known as the Granite Block, was Dow’s rst large Romanesque-style com- mercial structure. The quarry-faced masonry massing, contrasting colors, round-arched deep- set voids, and overall massiveness made it one of the rst substantial buildings of that style in the territory. Over the years, it would serve as a post of ce, land agency of ce, and bank.
One of the nest examples of Romanesque Re- vival design was seen in Dow’s iconic Peck, Norton, and Murray Block, nestled in the heart of downtown Sioux Falls. Dow was originally em- ployed to construct the three-story brick building for Porter Peck, a real estate developer. John F. Norton, the mayor of the city from 1887 to 1889, and John Murray, a farm implement dealer who was in business with Norton, later joined Peck. The trio commissioned Dow to build an im- pressive line of buildings that would hold both of ces and storerooms. The design, developed by Dow, was decorated with elements of several architectural styles, but was more Romanesque than other commercial designs. Whether it was personal preference or Dow striving to convey urban progress, he was beginning to favor Ro- manesque design and began to utilize the motif in commercial commissions.
The need for schools eventually gave Dow the opportunity to expand his artistic horizons by for- ever changing the landscape of numerous South Dakota towns. In Sioux Falls, Dow was employed to build the All Saints School. Using a myriad of stones, with the main portion of the building Sioux quartzite trimmed with dark red pipestone, TOP: Tragedy struck in 1893 when a re completely destroyed Old Main.

After three decades of changing the landscape of South Dakota, Dow passed away in 1911. Throughout the years, the name Wallace Dow was rarely brought back to life; only his build- ings remained. But like most artists, Dow’s true fame may still lie ahead. New buildings and structures continue to be researched and associated with Dow. The extent of his work will never be known. For now, it’s a matter of appreciating what exists, honoring what is gone, and dreaming of what might be.

TSP’s renovated offi ce is an employee- centered design studio with a sense of place and orientation to the neighborhood. The fi rm’s decision to repurpose the existing 40-year-old building was “green,” but a challenge to design a workplace that was inspiring, creative, open, and inviting for employees, clients, and guests. Creating a collaborative team environment was a high priority to promote teamwork between disciplines, project teams, staff, and clients. Open team areas are interspersed through the design studio, and workstation walls vary in height and opacity. An abundance of daylight enters the building through a new window wall along the entire west face of the building allowing views out and in. A unique gathering space was created at the heart of the plan to accommodate various public and private functions.

The 15,300 square foot addition also consists of the narthex, restrooms, nursery, classrooms, and basement youth rooms. An intimate connection between the church and the community was achieved by incor- porating a light box that refl ects the color of the liturgical seasons both inside and out. The congregation’s mission of reaching out and inviting the community in is helped by the warmth of the wood and natural light. Em- phasis was placed on harmonizing the existing exterior appearance with the new project to create a seamless blend.

Built in 1887 on the east bank of the Big Sioux River, the Illinois Central Depot originally served the early bustling community of Sioux Falls, including the local quarry trade, moving tons of quartzite to Sioux Falls and other metropolitan areas around the Midwest. Efforts were made to respect the historic architecture through restoration of the original window frames and sashes, and masonry repointing. Asphalt shingles and sheet metal fl ashings were replaced with slate and copper, while infi ll paving, paint and extraneous trims were stripped away and replaced with appropriate materials to reveal the building’s original beauty.

CLIENT: Mobridge Riverfront Economic Development Committee and Second Century Foundation
ARCHITECT: Charles MacBride Architect
The Mobridge Riverfront Masterplan is a proposal for various improvements and development that support the civic and economic future of the city. The proposals vary in scale and use, promoting a diverse, heterogeneous process, slowly growing, sustaining, and maintaining Mobridge in both the riverfront location and across the community. The plan and analysis was commissioned by the Mobridge Riverfront Economic Development Committee. This committee was first formed over ten years ago to explore ideas for the development of over 30 acres. The parcel was (virtually) inaccessible by car because there wasn’t a railroad crossing at Main Street until December 2012, when (following almost ten years of negotiations) BNSF installed one.

The Big Ques on: How can the AIA evolve with the changing needs of the architecture profession while maintaining its core values, beliefs, and o erings?
In 2012, the National American Institute of Archi- CONNECT tects (AIA) began a journey of self-assessment and AIA is focusing on unity among the local, state, repurposing. The process produced a new initiative, and national levels. Assessments indicated that repositioning the profession, which emphasizes a component structure is dif cult for members to meaningful and focused change within the National understand, and leads to a lack of cohesion within AIA organization. the organization.

66 ARCHITECTURE SOUTH DAKOTA | winter 2014-15 Repositioning requires signi cant investment. So I asked “Why?” Why expend resources, time, and money for something like “rebranding?”
Why Connect? repositioned and revitalized National and local AIA chapters must unite to form a strong bond, narrowing the communication gap. There is strength in numbers when it comes to legislative issues.
Why Engage? There is a generational decrease in number of practicing architects and, hence, an increasing need to engage emerging professionals. There also is a continued effort to engage women in architecture. Roughly 40 percent of graduating architects are women. AIA plans to host an annual Women’s Leadership Summit and will continue virtual town hall meetings to engage all practicing architects.
Why Innovate? It drives positive change, requires a prioritization of initiatives and forces us to take a stand on important issues. An example of inno- vation is AIA’s development of a legislative toolkit to strengthen the role of architects in the design/build process. The toolkit, “developed model legislation for public-private partnerships that prioritized the design quality and life cycle considerations of public buildings.”
Why Lead? Locally, our clients and the general public expect architects to take the lead on energy ef ciency and environmental issues sur- rounding the built environment. Nationally, we expect our AIA board members to be numerouse enough to represent an entire profession of architects, but small enough to make decisions and engage innovate in uence change. AIA by-laws have also been adjusted to allow connect Associate Members to serve in board leadership positions; this is a great way to get the younger generation actively involved, and it dovetails with engaging younger professionals. In the end, advancing our profession requires us locally to take the LEAD lead and reconnect as a profession. It comes down to our willing- ness to steadfastly support what we believe and do what is right. We must continue to improve our perception by connecting with the public on multiple levels and by allowing the public to see value in what we can do to improve human life and the human spirit. Hopefully, this new AIA initiative will help architects con- nect, engage, innovate, and lead our profession in a positive and purposeful direction.
