aiaphiladelphia.org/annual-programs-and-events | 3 WELCOME
Welcome to the 14th Annual Design on the Delaware at NeoCon East Conference!
We are constantly evolving Design on the Delaware to provide our attendees with a conference experience that rivals the AIA National Convention but at a fraction of the cost. As always, we are providing the high level multi-disciplined programming that you are used to, but we’ve added a few extras that we think will really up the ante.
In the second year of our partnership with NeoCon East, the premier design expo and conference for commercial interiors on the East Coast, Design on the Delaware attendees will enjoy complimentary access to NeoCon East Keynote sessions as well as free pass to walk the amazing tradeshow floor filled with hundreds of vendors. This year’s NeoCon East Keynotes feature Marc Kushner, Co-Founder and CEO of Architizer & Partner of New York Architecture Firm HWKN and Ayse Birsel, Co-Founder Of Birsel + Seck, an Innovative Design Studio in New York. We hope you’ll have a chance to take advantage of this great partnership and extend your knowledge and your network!
New this year, there will be much more activity at the Center for Architecture and Design. Following the model we created for AIA Convention 2016, there will be a lot going on at the Center. Design on the Delaware conference attendees will receive free coffee and breakfast in the morning, lunch in our expo lounge, free wifi, and social events in the evenings. As an added bonus, you’ll be able to register at both the Center and the Pennsylvania Convention Center, whichever makes the most sense for your schedule.
We hope you enjoy the 2016 Design on the Delaware at NeoCon East and can take advantage of the new format by carving out some time to visit us at the Center for Architecture and Design. If you haven’t seen the space since the renovations were completed, you really must check it out!

DD16A04: An Architect’s Guide to Performance and Energy Modeling TECHNICAL Presenters: William Fisher, AIA, LEED AP; Location: Room 118 C Jilian Burgess, RA, LEED AP; Aaron Dahlstrom, PE, LEED AP As energy codes become more stringent, project teams are required to design buildings with lower energy use thresholds. Owners are increasingly demanding justification for architectural designs and challenging designers to make buildings more efficient and cost-effective to operate. Often, energy modeling is done too late in design, or performed during construction to assist in post-validating the design. But, significant savings can be found, both in energy and construction costs, by right-sizing the enclosure and glazing design with the mechanical systems. These lessons will be illustrated through several examples of buildings completed in the Philadelphia Navy Yard within the past few years. With perspectives from the architect, mechanical engineer, and building owner, this presentation demonstrates methodologies for implementing rapid- response modeling early in the design process and takes an iterative approach to modeling design feedback.

DD16GS02: Transforming Architecture: Building Health GENERAL Presenter: Robin Guenther, FAIA, LEED AP Fellow Location: Room 119 A+B Design is always about transformation to an imagined future. As architects, we create a future state with every decision we make about the design of our built environments. This session will confront the question of what it means to design for health — to create built environments that support and celebrate health and restoration, that create the conditions for human and natural systems to thrive. It will examine how designers can influence health at every scale – from the materials we choose to build our buildings with to how they diminish or enhance the health of natural systems they are situated within. Participate in a journey across both space and time to connect the reality of constructed architecture with its associated environmental and health consequences, and gain insights into how we can all design to build health.

DD16A05: Eero Saarinen’s Bell Laboratories Building-- ADAPTIVE Strategies for the Redevelopment of a Modern Landmark Location: Room 118 C Presenter: Kit Bryant, AIA; Alexander Gorlin, FAIA; Ralph Zucker The Bell Laboratories building was one of Eero Saarinen’s last major commissions. The original building was constructed between 1959 and 1962 and later expanded in 1966 and 1982 by Roche and Dinkaloo. It served the needs of the Bell Laboratories division of Bell Telephone, and its successor companies, until it was put up for sale by Alcatel-Lucent in 2006. The two-million square foot building remained empty and unused until 2013 when it was purchased by Somerset Development who as part of their planned adaptive reuse, has worked to get the building listed as an historic landmark.

4:15 - 5:15 PM DD16A08: Fresh Beginnings for Industrial Landmarks ADAPTIVE Presenters: Antonio Fiol Silva, FAIA, AICP, LEED AP BD+C; Location: Room 118 C Karen Blanchard, AIA LEED AP BD+C The adaptive reuse of prominent abandoned facilities has positively contributed to the sustainability and vitality of industrial landmarks. In this session we will look at the adaptive reuse of two landmarks of different scales that have equally provided positive impact on both a local and regional level. The Bethlehem Steel plant was a powerful symbol of America’s manufacturing leadership in the Industrial Revolution. Integral to the historic function of the plant, the newly repurposed elevated rail named the Hoover-Mason Trestle creates a dynamic opportunity for the community to once again stand at the foot of the majestic and iconic blast furnaces. The transformation of the historic High Pressure Fire Service Building at the foot of the Ben Franklin Bridge into the new headquarters for FringeArts represents a keystone in Philadelphia’s efforts to revitalize its waterfront. The blending of the reuse of this infrastructural building with a new dynamic interactive arts program represents an innovative continuation of the city’s significant industrial legacy.

The new warehouse roof provides a raised platform with front and rear deck (yards) and boast a 25’ wide double height glazed façade (a rarity in Philadelphia) creating a dramatic living room with balconied media room. A sculptured sunshade structure animates the façade. This element alone has an interesting journey from design to fabrication. Second stop is the Rittenhouse historic district. This 1845 Late Victorian style 4-story mid-block rowhome building has 4 units. One unit to remain occupied during renovations. The fronts on Pine Street façade is composed of dense, high-quality brick with thin butter joints and marble trim: the rear elevations on Waverly Street, a service alley, are exposed lower quality brick, with standard mortar joints.The project seeks to drastically reduce the entire building’s energy profile and carbon footprint. The ground floor office will be converted into a bi-level apartment for the owners. The upper apartments will be upgraded with new mechanical systems, new bathrooms and the 2nd flr with a new kitchen. Passive House (PH) certified simulated double-hung windows will grace the front and PH casements in the rear. The project is setting precedents with the Philadelphia Historical Commission in several areas. Walking tour, tour will leave from the Center for Architecture and Design.
