SUMMARY:WMAIA Film Series!
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday March 21 | 6:30 PM | Zoom |1 LU requested\nSite Specific\nSite Specific is a special commission of ten short documentaries for Open House Dublin 2020. Dyehouse Films wonderfully reveal the personalities\, processes\, complexity\, creativity and transformative impact that surround the act of designed space. The protagonists: the architect\, the historian\, the user\, speak directly to the camera\, they speak directly to us. Site Specific crosses the city\, scales and building types from play parks\, social housing\, places of worship to a building not yet built. Taken individually\, each 5-minute video has something of the condensed power of a short story.\nEmail director@wmaia.org to register. \nTuesday April 4| 6:30 PM | Zoom |1 LU requested\nTwo short films about the work of Zaha Hadid\nZaha An Architectural Legacy\nOne year after Zaha Hadid died\, this film takes a look at her career\, and legacy\, through five stages which signal significant progressions in her work. The film begins with her drawings and paintings while at the Architectural Association\, then captures her first built project at Vitra\, moving on to the Stirling Prize-winning MAXXI\, which secured her place in the architectural canon\, and the London Aquatics Centre – a building which made her known to the public – and finishes with the Maths Gallery at the Science Museum\, completed just months after her death. Featuring interviews with those who knew her including long-time collaborator Patrik Schumacher\, architects Eva Jiricna and Nigel Coates\, urbanist Ricky Burdett\, AJ editor-in-chief Christine Murray and engineer Hanif Kara\, the film gives thoughtful insight into the impact Zaha had on the architectural profession.\nThe Queen of Curves\nThe Queen of curves\, that is the term used by the guardian to describe Zaha Hadid. Taking the world by storm\, Zaha Hadid or should I say Dame Zaha Hadid had become one of the most influential women in the world\, and one of the most recognizable architects. With bold ideas and a strong will\, she has designed some of the most iconic buildings in the world today. But what led to her becoming the queen of curves\, and how did this queen build her kingdom?\nEmail director@wmaia.org to register \nTuesday April 18 | 6:30 PM | Zoom |1 LU requested\nTado Ano: From Emptiness to Infinity\n“The essence of architecture is to open the hearts of the people\,” says Japanese minimalist master Tadao Ando\, “and to move them in such a way that they are glad to be on Earth.”Ando: From Emptiness to Infinity\, a 2013 documentary by German filmmaker Mathias Frick\, offers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look into the work and processes of Ando\, the only architect to have won the discipline’s four most prestigious prizes: the Pritzker\, Carlsberg\, Praemium Imperiale\, and Kyoto Prize.Ando’s unprecedented use of concrete\, wood\, water\, light\, space\, and natural forms creates a Zen-like connection between Japanese traditions and contemporary modernism. His creative use of natural light and his buildings’ ability to seamlessly evoke the contours of the landscape are his calling cards\, and give Ando’s award-winning homes\, churches\, museums\, apartment buildings and cultural spaces an open\, inviting quality that belies the structures’ minimalist construction.”To change the dwelling is to change the city and to reform society\,” Ando says\, noting that his deceptively simple buildings are meant to give people space to live and unfold in a contemplative manner. By taking viewers into the architect’s thought processes and motivations\, the documentary delves into the nature of how those changes have been woven throughout Ando’s four-decade-long career.\nEmail director@wmaia.org to register

SUMMARY:WMAIA Film Series
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday October 11 | 6:30 PM | Zoom |1 HSW requested\nGreat Architecture on a Small Planet\nSustainable architecture is on the rise all over the world. Architects are reinventing the way we are going to live and build in the future. By 2050\, the world population will reach 10 billion people. More and more people will settle in constantly growing cities\, putting nature and our climate under pressure. Around the world\, Danish architects are dealing with global challenges in ways that also give us a better everyday life. They strive to create Great architecture on a small planet. \nTuesday October 25| 6:30 PM | Zoom |1.5 LU requested\nBreuer’s Bohemia\n“James Crump\, the intrepid director\, writer\, and art historian\, has done the impossible\, crafting a smart\, serious architecture documentary that isn’t hopelessly dry and boring.  His latest film\, Breuer’s Bohemia\, takes an incisive look into the roiling cultural milieu in which Marcel Breuer crafted some of his most groundbreaking residential projects.  It’s a take of inspiration and decadence\, rife with heavy drinking and free love\, all set against a backdrop of leftist politics and social iconoclasm incubated in the seemingly staid suburban outposts of Connecticut and Massachusetts.” – Architectural Digest \nTuesday November 8 | 6:30 PM | Zoom |1.5 LU requested\nArchitecture of Infinity\nTemporality and age are inherent in every object and creature and\, depending on one’s outlook\, may transcend to infinity.  How can this be imagined? What goes beyond it? Filmmaker Christoph Schaub starts his personal journey through time and space in his childhood\, when his fascination with sacred buildings began- and his wonder at beginnings and ends.  Schaub explores\, together with architects Peter Zumthor\, Peter Markill and Alvaro Siza Vieira\, the artists James Turrell and Cristin Iglesias and drummer virtuoso Jojo Mayer\, the magic of sacred spaces\, defined here as far more than church buildings.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tour: ROXBURY BRANCH of the BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY
DESCRIPTION:WMAIA COTE Presents\nA Virtual Tour: ROXBURY BRANCH of the BOSTON PUBLIC LIBRARY\nA 2022 AIA COTE TOP TEN AWARD WINNER\nThursday\, October 13\, 2022  I 4:30 PM I ZOOM I 1 HSW\nPresented by Michael LeBlanc AIA\, Principal\, Utile \nProgram Description\nUtile worked with the Boston Public Facilities Department and the Boston Public Library to complete the comprehensive renovation of the Roxbury Branch of the Boston Public Library in Nubian Square\, following a previous entry design and programming study for the building. This project creates a welcoming environment for visitors\, enhances the library’s presence in the Lower Roxbury community\, and fully upgraded the outdated building systems. \nThe 27\,000 square foot renovation includes a revitalized community room with state-of-the-art audiovisual technology\, new lighting\, and large windows overlooking a new entrance and plaza. \nNew programs include a technology teaching lab and a nutrition lab featuring a full kitchen\, and a dedicated African American collection is prominently located just inside the new entrance. Expanded computer stations and laptop availability provide visitors with access to technology throughout the library. \nThe renovation visually opens up the library to the community by replacing much of the concrete and glass block walls with new transparent window walls. The entrance was re-oriented to Dudley Street and the Nubian Square MBTA Station to further engage with the neighborhood\, and overlook a fully redesigned plaza. A raised terrace under a large entry canopy provides shaded outdoor space for reading and accessing the library’s Wi-Fi. \nAdditional building upgrades include new windows\, new insulation\, a new roof\, and modernized HVAC and lighting to significantly reduce the building’s energy consumption and carbon footprint. The library is now fully accessible with a new elevator and enhanced technology for the hearing impaired. \nClick here for more information and to register

DESCRIPTION:Tour: SPRINGFIELD TECHNICAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE\, IRA H. RUBENZAHL STUDENT LEARNING COMMONS\, SPRINGFIELD MA\n1 HSW  \nSponsored by: MARVIN \nCOVID Protocol:This is an in-person tour.  We will adhere to CDC and college guidelines at the time of the event.  Please bring a mask just in case.  The tour will be followed by a reception\, weather and/or Covid protocols permitting.  This program is limited to 50 participants \nProgram Description\nDesigned by Ann Beha Associates the LEED Silver Student Learning Commons at STCC was designed by women-led architect\, landscape architect\, and engineering firms – we are pleased to offer this tour as our 2022 Women in Architecture Program. \nAs the only technical community college in Massachusetts and with an annual enrollment of over 7\,000 students\, Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) offers unparalleled education and career programs. STCC was founded in 1967 and is located on 35 acres within the Springfield Armory National Historic Site. Because the campus is part of a National Historic Landmark and the National Park System\, work on STCC’s historic buildings and campus is subject to review by state and federal agencies\, as well as the National Park Service. Constructed in four phases from 1846 through 1863\, Building 19 originally served as a storehouse for the Springfield National Armory and has been unoccupied for 150 years. ABA’s design for a new Student Learning Commons in the building integrates modern building systems and structural upgrades while maintaining the historic character of the existing building. Programs are consolidated into four major “hubs” for student and academic services. The Student Enrollment and Academic Advising Centers simplify enrollment processes and consolidate access to student services that were previously housed in multiple buildings on campus. The Learning Commons combines the college’s library with instructional spaces\, tutoring\, and information technology services. The Student Life Center animates Building 19 with student life and daily activities\, providing a café\, bookstore\, and meeting areas for students to study and socialize at the new heart of their campus. \nThe Student Learning Commons project received numerous planning\, design\, and preservation awards\, including an AIA New England Citation Award\, a SCUP Excellence in Planning Honor Award\, a SCUP Excellence in Architecture Honorable Mention\, a Robert H. Kuehn\, Jr. Award from Preservation Massachusetts\, and a Building Design + Construction Reconstruction Award. \nTour led by:\nThe tour will be led by Jackie Flanigan AIA\, Ann Beha Associates and Debra Avery NCIDQ\, Sr. Director\, Facilities\, Springfield Technical Community College \nPlease note the registration fee covers administrative costs including registering the program and processing learning units for architect participants. \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:WMAIA Film Series: REGISTER NOW
DESCRIPTION:THE WMAIA FILM SERIES RESUMES MARCH 16th  – REGISTER NOW!\nEmail director@wmaia.org to register \nWednesday March 16 | 6:30 PM | Zoom 1 LU Approval Pending\nGehry’s Vertigo\nGehry’s Vertigo shakes up the idealized image of one of the most iconic buildings of contemporary architecture: the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao\, built by Frank Gehry in 1997.The film allows an immersion in the day-to-day life of this living myth and offers a rare and vertiginous trip on the top roofs of the building\, putting us in the shoes of the climbers in charge of glass cleaning. Surprisingly realistic and highly emotional\, the film observes through their ascensions\, techniques and difficulties\, the complexity and virtuosity of Frank Gehry’s architecture. \nWednesday March 30 | 6:30 PM | Zoom  1 LU Approval Pending\nTokyo Ride\nRevisiting the genre of the road movie in a very diaristic and personal way\, the film takes us on board Ryue Nishizawa’s vintage Alfa Romeo for a day long wandering in the streets of Tokyo\, immersing us in the city’s busy daily life.  More than a portrait\, in the classical sense\, of one of the most talented and celebrated Japanese architect of today\, the film renders in its pure spontaneity the experience of this friendly urban drift. Ryue Nishizawa narrates along the way his strong relationship with his hometown through some of his favorite sites\, buildings that have influenced him\, and some of his own architecture projects. \nWednesday April 13 | 6:30 PM | Zoom  1 LU approval pending\nHomo Urbanus Venetianus\nAfter the trying constraints of lockdown and social distancing that brutally reduced urban space to its strict minimum\, making it into a place where isolated individuals merely cohabit\, Homo Urbanus is a cinematic odyssey offering a vibrant tribute to what we have been most cruelly deprived of: namely\, public space. Taking the form of a free-wheeling journey around the world (10 films\, 10 cities)\, the project invites us to observe in detail the multiple forms and complex interactions that exist every day between people and their urban environments.  We will screen the film focused on Venice.  Presented in a comparative dynamic through the lens of a selection of themes and issues linked with the street daily life\, the videos enable us to perceive each of these different urban contexts as an experimental\, local and unique laboratory answering the same global challenge of how can we live all together. \nEmail director@wmaia.org to register
