more fragmented architectural industry is recovering modestly from the recent economic recession.
Prots and hiring are up. Firms are diversifying their activities and services. BIM is approaching a tipping point in terms of
its growing importance for billable projects. And domestic projects
continue to be most rms bread and butter.
These are some of the ndings in The Business of Architecture, AIAs Firm Survey Report for 2014. The results of the survey,
conducted for the Institute by Readex Research, are compiled from
responses to an emailed questionnaire by 2,038 rms.
The survey recounts the impact of a devastating recession, when
architectural rms gross billings for the years 2008 to 2011 plummeted by 40%. Construction spending, at $900 billion in 2013, still
lags the $1.17 trillion in spending in 2006. But since 2011, rms
gross billings grew by 20% to $31.1 billion last year, and net billings
were up as well, to $23.4 billion.
Developers and governments continue to account for the lions
share of rms billings, with two-thirds of all billings in 2013 coming
from repeat clients, most of which selected the rms through a
noncompete process.
In 2013 there were 18,000 AIA member-owned rms, about the
same as in 2005. But the bigger rms dont seem as dominant as

they once might have been. Larger rms downsized and there have
been more startups. (One-third of respondents said they founded
their companies after 2009.) More than three-fths of respondents
identify themselves as small businesses; as of 2013, 63% had fewer
than ve employees.
While their numbers remain small, the percentage of women and
minority owners of architectural rms increased during the recession.
Part-time and contract employees may be showing up more frequently
on companies payrolls. But it also appears that architectural rms are
bolstering their core workforces again. From January 1, 2013, to January
1, 2014, one-third of the rms responding to the survey said they had
added full-time employees (compared to 16% in the previous year).
Another bellwether of improving market conditions is protability:
rms prot in 2013 stood at 10.7% of billings, versus 9.8% in 2011.
Companies with commercial/industrial capabilities enjoyed even more
robust prot gains.
During the recession, perhaps for survival, more rms diversied their
offerings to become one-stop shops. Four in 10 respondents now identify
their services and activities as multidisciplinary, with some of the additions to their menus including graphic design and expert-witness services.

Women make up more than half of the U.S. population. But even
with signicant gains over the past 25 years, their numbers and
positions among the ranks of practicing architects appear to
have stagnated.
The reasons could be the result of too few role models, mentors, and advancement opportunities, according to a statistical
analysis of womens progress in the profession by the Association
of Collegiate Schools of Architecture.
The ACSA looked at recent data from a wide range of sources,
including the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the AIA, the National
Architectural Accrediting Board, the National Center for Education
Statistics, and the National Council for Architectural Registration
Boards. It found that, while the number of female architecture students and graduates has stabilized at around 40%, the number of
women working in architectural roles has also stopped increasing,

Public libraries will avoid being relegated to the scrap heap of history
in a digital age as long as they continue to serve as platforms for
learning, creativity, and innovation that strengthen their communities.
Thats the conclusion of a new report, Rising to the Challenge:
Re-envisioning Public Libraries, which the Aspen Institute has produced in partnership with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
There are nearly 9,000 public library systems and 17,000 branches and outlets across the U.S. Nearly seven in 10 Americans say
they have at least medium levels of engagement with their public
libraries. Nearly a quarter of U.S. adults use their local libraries for
Internet access. The public library is a key partner in sustaining the
educational, economic and civic health of the community during a
time of dramatic change, [and] there is already a signicant physical
presence and infrastructure to leverage for long-term success, the
report states. The library is a core civil society institution, democracys maker space, says the report.
But as public libraries shift from being repositories of materials to
becoming platforms for learning and participation, their ability to provide access to vast amounts of content in all formats will be crucial.
Libraries will have to be capable of procuring and sharing e-books
and other digital content on the same basis as physical versions, and
having affordable, universal broadband technologies that deliver and

to effect change. And Baby Boomer managers ask why they should commit to GenX and
Y employees if they are going to leave in two
or three years.
This generational disconnect is heightened
by a yawning digital divide, particularly when
it comes to communication. Such gaps,
said Swincher, need to be acknowledged
before associates of different ages can work
together effectively.
Swincher divided U40 attendees into seven
work groups and charged them with writing
down their biggest workplace concerns. These
ran the gamut, from attracting and hiring new
talent to keeping team members on track. The
groups were then asked to devise solutions to
these problems and present them in rapid-re,
four-minute presentations.
This reporter embedded with one group that
talked about how technology has become a
skills crutch for younger workers and a substitute for communication. If you cant explain
a problem without a computer, thats the
problem, said group member Josh Greeneld,
a Vice President with engineering rm Primera.
For its presentation, this group issued 10

is well knowninsisted that he, the American on the team, lead
the presentation. The Vietnamese government not only accepted
his recommendation for a huge greenbelt around the capital city,
they asked him to expand the ring of protected lands.
Perkins said that his rm aggressively seeks business in other
countries because there are projects you can do overseas that you
will never see in this country in terms of scale and innovation.
He shared his thoughts about trends in several of the rms 14
core specialties: in healthcare, increasing globalization; in higher
education, a heavier emphasis on science and technology, and no
backing off from elaborate student amenities; in senior living, a
move toward technology-abetted stay-at-home remedies.
Perkins said hes seen the level of rigor in the profession surpass
what it was when he graduated from Cornell. And while the business side has gotten a lot tougher, he said he continues to believe
that architecture is still one of the most rewarding professions.

bridge that connects the two main wings
of the building. The bridge is glazed from
oor to ceiling with views of an outdoor
courtyard. On three oors, the bridge
forms a terrace adjacent to social spaces,

socialization is thus enabled.
Many common areas have been opened
up via transparent doors and panels, even
in laundry roomsspaces that used to be
hidden in basements. The idea of isolation
is fading away, says B.K. Boley, AIA, LEED
AP, Principal and Director of Academic
Practice at design rm ADD, Inc. Even
bathrooms are getting this kind of treatment. Were doing more community baths
for freshman and sophomores, particularly
in the Northeast, says Boley.
Holding down costs is the primary
motivator for shared bath facilities. To
forestall complaints from students (and their
tuition-paying parents), these community
baths tend to have higher-end nishes and
are equipped with dressing stalls directly
adjacent to showersputting them a grade
above so-called gang bathrooms of yore.
Design features that reduce isolation and
promote socialization are also helping resident assistants gain more opportunities to
interact with their charges. This is particularly important for RAs who are responsible
for freshmen. If a new student is having
problems adjusting to college life, the RA
is more likely to identify issues before they
become more serious if theres more interaction, says Ayer Saint Grosss Lynch.

Many states have cut back funding for higher education in recent years, and
securing money for new housing has been tougher than ever for many colleges
and universities. A recent residence hall project in Boston involving three colleges provides an inspiring example of how necessity can spawn invention in
financing strategies.
Massachusetts College of Art and Design, a state school, partnered with its
neighbors Wentworth Institute of Technology and Massachusetts College of
Pharmacy and Health Sciences (now MCPHS University, and known locally as
Mass Pharma), both private institutions, to construct its Tree House residence
hall. Making the deal pencil out required some deft real estate maneuvers.
First, Wentworth transferred a parking lot to MassArt to allow the site to be
expanded. Next, Wentworth and MCPHS University contributed $700,000 toward the cost of building out a student health center that all three schools now share. Then
MCPHS agreed to sublease a substantial number of the
buildings 17 residence floors to house its students, which
helped to defray MassArts costs. The last step saw MassArt secure state funding to complete the financing for the
$54 million project.
The project wouldnt have happened without the
participation of Wentworth and Mass Pharma, says Kurt
Steinberg, who was appointed Acting President of MassArt in August. The 21-story, 145,600-sf structure is located
amid pricey real estate near renowned museums and the
Longwood Medical District. Bostons construction costs are
among the nations highest.
Steinberg says the college didnt want Tree House to
upend the pricing structure of MassArts campus housing. Our goal was to not have the new beds be more
expensive than the beds in our other two residence halls,
he says. Mass Pharma leases 260 of the 493 beds; a portion of the rent--$1,000 per bedgoes toward housing

CORE Studios most prominent project to date is the TTX platform, a custom database that serves as the central repository for all of Thornton Tomasettis
project data. Using TTX, the rms engineers can work on project models in any one of six software tools. Shown above is a project model displayed in all
six software platforms supported by TTX: 1) SAP 2000, 2) Revit, 3) Tekla, 4) ETABS, 5) Grasshopper for Rhino, and 6) RAM Structural Systems.
What is inadequate interoperability costing Building Teams? The most recent researcha NIST study published a decade
ago (http://tinyurl.com/NISTsoftwareReport)put the cost burden to the construction industry at $15.8 billion annually.
When you look at the cost burden from
a project budget perspective, interoperability accounts for 2-3% of the total
construction budget, says Nathan Miller,
Associate Partner with BIM consulting rm
CASE. Just making a dent in that small
percentage can yield a ton of benets
downstream.
Firms are itching for interoperability solutions to establish data pipelines between
software platforms and streamline workows.
This demand has led to growth in the emerging eld of computational scripting, where
rms develop (or commission third-party consultants like CASE to create) custom hacks
that link digital tools and automate, accelerate, or eliminate wasteful processes.
There are huge advantages to leveraging computational scripting and the broader
concept of being able to customize your
applications, says Miller. As a core capability, youre going to see a greater need

When structural engineering giant Thornton

was to solve the BIM/VDC software language gap. At a minimum, the rms staff
uses six primary design and modeling tools,
none of which speak the same language.
Incompatibility was costing Thornton Tomasetti thousands of staff hours annually by
requiring its engineering teams to manually

+ DEFINE the concept of building enclosure
commissioning (BECx) and its impact on meeting the
owners project requirements (OPR).
+ DISCUSS the key areas of concern that the owners
project requirements (OPR) should establish.
+ LIST at least three important duties of the building
enclosure commissioning authority (BECxA).
+ DESCRIBE the value to the project of using off-structure
and on-structure mockups of building envelope
components in advance of construction.

2) Perform design reviewsone design review for fundamental commissioning, three design reviews for enhanced commissioning
3) Participate in preconstruction activities
4) Monitor ongoing construction work
This more detailed and more integrated scope enables the BECx
authority to provide more meaningful advice and have a more benecial impact on the overall quality of the building enclosure. The level
of building complexity and the owners tolerance for risk can be accounted for in the project scope by adjusting the number and depth
of design reviews, the frequency of construction site visits, participation in Building Team meetings, etc.
After you have dened the level and scope of building enclosure
commissioning for your project, the BECx authority should prepare
a written plan that 1) provides an overview of the commissioning
process, 2) denes the roles and responsibilities of the Building
Team members, 3) outlines the planned commissioning activities,
and 4) documents the expectations for communication during the
52

of the project to verify that the owners project requirements are being met and the project is constructed as designed. This responsibility starts with the BECxA acting as a second reviewer for building
enclosure submittals and shop drawings. Items that do not align
with the OPR must be brought to the owners attention for resolution
with the design and construction components of the Building Team.
These reviews should conrm that all items related to the building
enclosure are properly documented and that they comply with the
established OPR. The owner should evaluate the authoritys comments and recommendations and decide how to direct the project
design team to address these concerns. Identifying items in the
submittals and shop drawings that do not align with the OPR and
design can avoid costly and frustrating problems down the line.
In our experience, its a good idea to have the building enclosure commissioning authority meet with the relevant trades before
construction or installation of the building enclosure begins. This
gives the BECxA the opportunity to review and clarify the required
performance testing and quality control/quality assurance tasks face
to face with the skilled trades who will be doing the actual work.
The BECxA should perform periodic site visits as the building enclosure is being constructed. During these visits, the authority should
review the installed work to verify that the construction meets the intent
of the contract documents and therefore the intent of the OPR. During
these site visits, the BECx authority should keep a construction issues
log for items that require further attention or adjustment to comply with
the contract documents. The construction issues log will help the owner
understand the items that need to be addressed and resolved. The construction issues log keeps track of nonconforming issues, which must
be closed out prior to the completion of the enclosure construction.
Caution: As noted above, the building enclosure commissioning
authority does not have authority to change the design or direct

Although every development project has its own obstacles to overcome, certain challenges are fairly common to most new developments: How can a new building respect the design vernacular of

can it be constructed with the newest energy-saving technologies

of SlenderWall precast concrete cladding, the 20-story, 175-unit Le

to these long-standing questions. The building, constructed atop
