Architect Ben Crawford on Why Mentors Matter
60+ Years of Design + Innovation 25 JULY 2018 Architect Ben Crawford on Why Mentors Matter HOK’s Dallas design principal shares the story of the teacher who kept him on course and why he feels an obligation to give back through the ACE Mentor Program. Ben Crawford was studying architecture as an undergrad at Rice University in the late 1980s when he took a look around and wondered: Do I belong here? Have I made the right choice? “It was a challenging time for me,” recalls the architect who now leads HOK’s Dallas design team. “I had grown up in Atlanta attending private schools, so Rice was familiar in that sense. Socially, though, it was quite different. I had been spent most of my upbringing grounded in the black community—my Atlanta neighborhood, my church. In the architecture school, I wasn’t seeing many people who looked like me. Meanwhile, I had all these friends who were attending historically black colleges and seemed to be having a great time.” A long-time architecture professor at Rice University, the late Spencer Parsons, noticed Crawford was struggling and shared some wisdom that still resonates today. “He said, ‘You know, there’s always room in this profession for one more talented person and one more individual voice and viewpoint.’” Crawford would heed that advice, earning a Bachelor of Architecture at Rice and discovering other mentors who would push him as Parsons did. While still an undergrad, he spent 14 months interning in the New York office of I.M. Pei, working alongside veteran designers on landmark projects such as the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

See the ULI Indianapolis RPC June 4-5 Agenda
INDIANAPOLIS Urban Land Institute East Central Regional Product Council June 4-5, 2018 1 WELCOME TO INDY 2 ABOUT THE RPC Regional Project Councils A Regional Project Council (RPC) provides a multi-disciplinary forum for information exchange and the sharing of best practices among mid- and senior-level members who work in a particular industry sector. Members will have the chance to interact with like-minded professionals in the ULI East Central Region (ULI District Councils in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Indiana, Kentucky, and Pittsburgh). Regional Product Council Topic The ULI East Central Regional Product Council 2.0 will focus on Public/Private Partnerships in Mixed-Use Development. The urban core has become an increasingly attractive location choice in each of the ULI East Central Region District Council areas.

These patterns include infill development, adaptive reuse of historic and obsolete buildings, and creative urban housing, retail, and mixed-use developments — even in traditional suburban settings. Member Expectations • Open, honest exchange of specific information and experience: Members participate openly and honestly, sharing specific, detailed information and experience from their real estate practice. • Confidentiality: Confidentiality is the foundation for open and honest sharing of detailed information and experience. • No self-promotion: Presentations and discussions are aimed at delivering real take-home value. • Recruit the best and the brightest: Innovative leaders, both ULI members and nonmembers, are invited to participate as guests.
