Event 36 — Ethics 8:00 am – 10:00 am The AIA Code of Ethics in a Disrupted World 2.0 HSW LU Hours and 2.0 Ethics Credits The AIA’s Code of Ethics has evolved over the last hundred years in response to the changing practices of architects and the changing conditions facing the profession. With the globalization of architectural practice and with the environmental, social, economic, and technological disruptions now facing humanity, this presentation suggests that the profession needs to revisit its Code of Ethics with this in mind. This session will explore what that might entail and how an expanded Code can help the profession deal with the new kinds of dilemmas it faces in a diverse and increasingly disrupted world. The program will also explore how the profession can offer the kind of leadership that only architects can give in envisioning a very different future from the one we once thought we had. Thomas Fisher, Assoc. AIA, is a Professor in the School of Architecture, the Dayton Hudson Chair in Urban Design at the University of Minnesota, and the Director of the Metropolitan Design Center at the College of Design. Fisher has written two books on architecture and ethics, has a blog on architecture and ethics, and has recently written two book chapters that look at the ethical implications for architecture of global practice and climate change — all from which this session will draw. Fisher was named a top-25 design educator four times by Design Intelligence.

A book signing of Ethics for Architects, 50 Dilemmas of Professional Practice by Tom Fisher will take place immediately following the program.

She is also the current board chair of the American Alliance of Museums, a trustee of National Art Strategies, and a past president of the Association of Art Museum Directors. This keynote address will address innovative leadership illustrated with examples from Feldman’s experience at Mia. Museums don’t always have the most quick and nimble track record for risk and innovation. It is ironic that institutions housing so many concrete examples of human creativity are often highly bureaucratic, inflexible, full of silos, and risk-adverse. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is changing this practice — from the inside out. A recent hire at Mia described the museum as seeming like “a 100-year old start up” due to its institutional culture of experimentation. Attend this keynote address and be inspired to experiment with innovative leadership in your practice of architecture. Innovative practice is messy, failure-filled, and full of uncertainty — in a world that is unprecedentedly digital, noisy, savvy, and unforgiving. Attend this keynote address and realize why it’s worth the effort.

18 19 Friday, December 4 Awards Celebration

6:00 pm – 11:00 pm Minnesota History Center, St. Paul

Join AIA Minnesota President, Tim Dufault, AIA, to pay tribute to AIA Minnesota’s 2015 Firm Award recipient, BWBR Architects, Inc.

The 2015 Awards Dinner — Let’s Celebrate — will be held Friday, December 4, at the Minnesota History Center, located in St. Paul. The evening will celebrate and honor all of our distinguished 2015 AIA Minnesota award recipients, including the Young Architect Awards, the 25 Year Award, Special Awards, the Louis Lundgren Award, the Affordable Housing Design Award, the Honor LET'SLET'S Awards, and of course, the esteemed 2015 AIA Minnesota Firm Award. Firm Award CELEBRATECELEBRATE AIA Minnesota is pleased to recognize BWBR with its 2015 Firm Award. Given bien- nially, this prestigious award recognizes firms that have contributed to the advancement of the profession in the areas of technology, service, and design. Celebrating 93 years this year, BWBR remains in the city where it had its start — in downtown Saint Paul. Headquartered in the Lawson Commons Building, the firm today boasts locations in both the Twin Cities and Madison, WI, emblematic of the way it has grown and the business it does — serving institutional and commercial clients throughout the Upper Midwest and Plains States regions. The firm award selection committee, comprised of AIA Minnesota board members and leadership, agreed that BWBR met or exceeded all three of the selection criteria. In the area of technology, BWBR was an early adopter of building information modeling software and developed a users group to help design professionals learn and adopt the new technology. BWBR has worked consistently in and outside of the industry to elevate the profession. Service efforts have included Unauthorized Design charettes in Saint Paul, connecting community members to design professionals and examining undeveloped or underdeveloped

James Lockwood land in the city. The firm has also provided pro bono work through which they have helped small nonprofit organizations better serve their clients. Recently, the firm was recognized for its business, training, and design by the International Interior Design Association. The firm was recognized by PSMJ as one of the best-managed firms in the nation. Additionally, BWBR was one of only 24 firms nationally to receive AIA’s 2014–2017 IDP Firm Award for its intern development program. Being a firm that looks to the future of the profession, BWBR launched a regional program called “The BWBR Prize” in the 1990s. This program was established as a commitment to both the profession and students to prepare future professionals for careers beyond the classroom. It provides students in the third year of undergraduate studies the chance to compete for a financial prize by demonstrating not only their work but also their presentation skills and personalities in front of an expert jury. Prizes are awarded to students from North Dakota State University, Iowa State University, and the University of Wisconsin-Stout. BWBR’s current work includes the University of Minnesota Athletes’ Village; Anytime Fitness headquarters; the new science center at Carroll University
