Even at this distance, I can feel the weight of 150 years of history and the achievement of the extraordinary men and women who were chosen to lead this organization. It’s pretty humbling. FOREWORD I ought to feel an even greater burden after reading my good friend and former AIA President Randall Vosbeck’s A Legacy of Leadership: The Presidents of The American Institute of Architects. The culmination of three years of painstaking research and untold hours, this book chronicles the rich legacy of dedication, sacrifice, and leadership built by those who have given so much to their profession over the past 150 years. As they say on Broadway, it’s a tough act to follow. Yet the cumulative effect of these pages turns out to be a source of inspiration not only for me, but I believe for anyone who is thinking about becoming more involved, whether by running for office, serving on a committee, or simply becoming more active in the profession. Surely those AIA presidents whose terms in office coincided with wars or economic collapse faced tougher times than ours. Yet by a combination of vision, courage, and stewardship, they led this organization through some of our country’s darkest days and left as their legacy a stronger AIA and a more vibrant profession. If they could succeed in the face of such challenges, what might we do? What contributions are we capable of in answering the challenges of our own times—building sustainably, nurturing a more diverse profession, embracing transformational technologies, and creating more livable communities? The more stable footing that would be gained by bold action would be a platform for reaching even higher. The great gift that Randy’s book gives to his readers is not just a matter of giving a voice to an extraordinary chapter of the AIA’s and our profession’s legacy—although that by itself would be worth the reading. He has given, through the inspirational words of the men and women transcribed here, an incentive to dream, to dream big, and more than dream—do! I commend A Legacy of Leadership to all those architects who would dedicate their time to growing a stronger profession and being of ever-increasing service to society. The message of Randy’s book is that we can and indeed must do both. Marshall Purnell, FAIA AIA President, 2007 – 08 A LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP: THE PRESIDENTS OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS i TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface This book examines the careers and lives of the 83 men and women who have served as president of the American Institute of Architects during its first 150 years. As the Institute has historically been run as a representative democracy, in many ways AIA presidents have reflected the values, beliefs, concerns, and aspirations of the membership as a whole. The presidents, as leaders, have also helped to shape the values and mission of the organization. The individual biographical essays herein attempt to understand each former president’s unique legacy to the life of the Institute, highlighting in particular professional and civic accomplishments. Although they have much in common, each president found his or her own direction through the AIA’s leadership pathways, and each was motivated by his or her own personal passions, a sense of social and professional responsibility, and a love of architecture. Together their efforts have been instrumental in creating the culture of the professional society. It is my hope that these portraits of the AIA’s past leadership will not only provide an understanding of how the Institute became the effective organization it is today but also yield important clues about how it might be even more effective in the future. Taken together, AIA presidents have more or less reflected the demographics of the organization’s membership. During 46 of the Institute’s first 50 years, the architects who served as president were Protestant men of European background from large cities in the northeastern United States. During the AIA’s next 50 years, the typical portrait changed somewhat. Presidents were elected from other parts of the country (Illinois, California, Missouri, Nebraska, Utah, and Oregon), and a few non-Protestants were elected as well. In the last 50 years, generalizations about the background of the typical AIA president are more difficult to make. These years have witnessed the election of two women, as well as men from the South and of non- European descent. Generalizing about the careers of AIA presidents from any period in the organization’s history is frustrated by the varied nature of their professional backgrounds. Some worked primarily as designers, others served roles as managers and administrators, some were educators and theorists, some planners, and some had primary expertise in business, finance, and development. Most wore a combination of these hats. AIA presidents and their firms have designed almost every type of structure imaginable across the United States and abroad: schools, government buildings, hospitals, office buildings, ecclesiastical structures, residential buildings, transportation centers, and more. The list of iconographic structures designed by AIA presidents and their firms is impressive, ranging from the dome and Senate and House wings of the U.S. Capitol to the Empire State Building and the Biltmore Estate; from the Monadnock Building and the U.S. Supreme Court Building to the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception; from the Vehicle Assembly Building at Kennedy Space Center and the Pentagon to the Parliament House in Canberra, Australia, and hundreds of other buildings in between. ii THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS TABLE OF CONTENTS In addition to their contributions to the built environment, AIA presidents have offered their time and expertise in serving the public good. They have worked for the federal government in the Department of the Interior, the Office of the Supervising PREFACE Architect in the Department of the Treasury, the U.S.

  • The Architecture of Excess
    The Architecture of Excess Image Fabrication between Spectacle and Anaesthesia A Master’s Thesis for the Degree Master of Arts (Two Years) in Visual Culture Andrei Deacu Spring semester 2012 Supervisor: Anders Michelsen Andrei Deacu Title and subtitle: The Architecture of Excess: Image Fabrication between Spectacle and Anaesthesia Author: Andrei Deacu Supervisor: Anders Michelsen Division of Art History and Visual Studies Abstract This thesis explores the interplay between the architectural image and its collective meaning in the contemporary society. It starts from a wonder around the capacity of architectural project The Cloud towers, created by the widely known architectural company MVRDV, to ignite fervent reactions caused by its resemblance to the image of the World Trade Centre Towers exploding. While questioning the detachment of architectural image from content, the first part of this thesis discusses the changes brought into the image-meaning relation in the spectacle society in postmodernism, using concepts as simulacra and anaesthesia as key vectors. In the second part of the thesis, the architectural simulacrum is explored through the cases of Dubai as urbanscape and The Jewish Museum Berlin as monument. The final part of the thesis concludes while using the case study of The Cloud project, and hints towards the ambivalence of image-content detachment and the possibility of architectural images to become social commentaries. 2 Andrei Deacu Table of contents 1.
