SUMMARY:Designing the AVAM – Winner of Baltimore Architecture Madness
DESCRIPTION:AVAM Founder and Director Rebecca Hoffberger\, and architects Rebecca Swanston and Diane Cho celebrate the design of this Baltimore treasure! \nThe American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) was crowned winner of BAF’s Architecture Madness Tournament\, which included 64 exceptional Baltimore buildings built between 1870 and today\, hosted in celebration of AIA Baltimore’s 150th anniversary.We’ll be joined by AVAM founder and director Rebecca Hoffberger and architects Diane Cho and Rebecca Swanston to celebrate and reflect upon the design of Baltimore’s most beloved building of the past 150 years. \n\n\n\n\nCompleted in 1995\, AVAM is a brilliant example of sculptural expression. Architect Rebecca Swanston\, FAIA and designer Alex Castro incorporated the curving Trolley Works building and enlarged it with an addition that echoes its curves and creates a strong sense of motion. Its playful\, eye-catching facade\, created by youth in the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services as a way to provide them with tangible skills and personal development\, was an echoing sentiment from Rebecca Alban Hoffberger\, Founder/Director and Primary Curator of AVAM that “social justice is life’s highest performance art”. The shimmering and whimsy exterior mirrors the artworks found inside by self-taught individuals that make AVAM one of the city’s most beloved institutions. Architect Diane Cho\, AIA of Cho Benn Holback + Associates (today Quinn Evans) led the 2004 expansion of the museum transforming an old whiskey barrel warehouse into AVAM’s Jim Rouse Visionary Center. Both projects are stellar examples of adaptive use – the creative repurposing of historic buildings. \nWhen asked to describe why they voted the way they did\, Architecture Madness voters emphasized how AVAM’s architecture embodies the museum’s spirit. As one voter put it\, “It feels alive. It feels like a building that embraces all people and inspires creativity and a sense of wonder.” \nAbout this Event\n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom. Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact ndennies@aiabalt.com. If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance. \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present the Virtual Histories Series: 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. Hosted every Friday at 1:00 pm EST. This special program is hosted in partnership with the American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM).

SUMMARY:The Robert F. Kennedy Funeral Train: The People’s View from Baltimore (Virtual Lecture)
DESCRIPTION:Rein Jelle Terpstra will discuss his project to collect photographs of Kennedy’s funeral train passing through Baltimore. \nOn June 8 1968\, the Robert F Kennedy Funeral Train rode through Baltimore\, on its way to Washington D.C.\, carrying the body of Senator Robert F Kennedy. On board the train was photographer Paul Fusco\, who during the journey photographed the many bewildered mourners paying their final respects. A cross-section of American society—Black and White\, city-dwellers and country folk—all stared at the slowly passing train. \nWe hope you’ll join us to hear photographer Rein Jelle Terpstra talk about his project to search for the reverse photographic perspective: pictures and films made by the bystanders that stood along the railroad that day. Here\, the mourners do not merely play a role in someone else’s pictures\, but are the photographers and filmmakers themselves. With their cameras\, they gazed back at the train and recorded it in their own fashion. On his research trips\, Terpstra visited almost all of the places that the funeral train passed through in an effort to track down people who took photographs of the train passing. This project is entirely based on memories\, snapshots\, home movies\, and sound\, recorded by bystanders standing along the tracks that day. \nThe project was on show at the Museum of Modern Art\, San Francisco\, in Les Rencontres D’Arles (France 2018)\, the International Center of Photography (New York City 2018) and the Nederlands Fotomuseum\, Rotterdam (2019). \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nRein Jelle Terpstra teaches fine arts and photography at Minerva Art Academy\, Groningen (NL). After a residency at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten (Amsterdam)\, he began investigating the relationships between perception\, memory and history by making slideshow installations and books. His work is held in various collections\, including the collection of the SFMOMA (San Francisco)\, MoMA Library (New York)\, EYE Film Museum (Amsterdam)\, Nederlands Fotomuseum (Rotterdam)\, The Royal Museum of Arts (Brussels)\, Yale University Library (New Haven)\, and the Getty Research Institute (Los Angeles). During the spring of 2017\, Terpstra undertook a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship in Washington\, D.C. to work on the subject of this lecture. \n\nAbout this Event \n\n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom. Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact ndennies@aiabalt.com. If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance. \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present the Virtual Histories Series: 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history.

Generations of Baltimoreans have picnicked under its tall tulip poplars\, strolled the deeply curved paths and enjoyed the rich architectural design of this 137-acre East Baltimore park. \nThis presentation will touch on the park’s history\, from its earliest beginnings as a 6-acre “Public Walk” donated to the city by William Patterson in April 1827\, to its growth and development under the guiding hands of George A. Frederick\, designer of City Hall\, who served as Park Architect from 1863 to 1895\, and of Charles H. Latrobe\, who served as Engineer and General Superintendent of Parks from 1884 to 1902. Both were responsible for such impressive structures as the iconic Patterson Park Observatory\, a 60-foot tall tower built at top Hampstead Hill for its incredible views of the harbor and the city. \nIn 1904\, the Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architects were hired to prepare a plan for the Eastern extension of the park. Their 1904 “Report Upon the Development of Public Grounds for Greater Baltimore” had urged for an expansion of the park to “offer the working people of East Baltimore a conveniently accessible body of refreshing scenery\, retired to a great degree from the turmoil of the city.” The firm\, founded by Frederick Law Olmsted\, designer of Central Park\, and continued by his sons\, Frederick Law Olmsted\, Jr. and John Charles\, were the leading park architects of the day and continued to enhance the park’s design through 1915. \nIn Patterson Park\, one can see the two sides of the Olmsted vision: the pastoral vistas and sweeping hills championed by the senior Olmsted and carried on by his sons\, as well as the recognition by the younger Olmsteds of the features required by the active recreation movement of the period. The role of Patterson Park in creating social cohesiveness and quality of life is still paramount\, nearly two centuries from its humble beginnings. This presentation will feature fascinating insights and rich historical imagery of this Jewel of Baltimore’s Eastside. \nPresenter \nTim Almaguer has been hiking through\, learning from and working with urban parks for over 20 years\, first with the Friends of Patterson Park for over 10 years and now as the Chief of Community Engagement and Strategic Partnership at Baltimore City Recreation and Parks. Tim received a Master degree in Recreation and Parks Management from Frostburg State University and wrote “Baltimore’s Patterson Park” in 2006\, published by Arcadia Publishing. \n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nIn this Virtual Histories Series\, the Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage host weekly 30-minute lunchtime presentations on Zoom focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation\, and history.

SUMMARY:The Invention of Downtown: A Virtual Talk by Charlie Duff
DESCRIPTION:How did Downtown as we know it come to be? Charlie Duff explains using London and Baltimore as examples. \nIn 1666\, the Great Fire of London destroyed the center of a city of 500\,000 people and made 80\,000 people homeless. \nIn 1904\, the Great Baltimore Fire destroyed the center of a city of 500\,000 people\, and not one person became homeless. \nIn between those two dates\, the North Atlantic cities invented the Central Business District. From Baltimore to London\, the centers of cities became places where tens of thousands of people worked and no one lived. \nJoin Charlie Duff\, author of The North Atlantic Cities\, to find out how this happened and what the architectural results were – and why it didn’t happen in Paris\, Rome\, and the other great cities of Continental Europe. \n\nThis program is hosted on Zoom. Upon registering you will receive an email confirmation and a Zoom link. If you do not receive a link\, please contact ndennies@aiabalt.com. If you do not contact us at least 1 hour prior to the start of the program\, we cannot guarantee admittance. \nThe Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present a series of 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. \nTickets are donation based.

SUMMARY:Trailblazing Architect: Kathleen Sherrill (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:To cap off Women’s History Month\, we are highlighting trailblazers who rose to leadership in the community and the profession. \nAs part of the celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Baltimore Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA)\, we are hosting conversations with trailblazing architects in Baltimore\, discussing their impact on the profession and our communities.

SUMMARY:Mermaids & Promenades: Schaefer and the Cultural Redevelopment of Baltimore (Virtual Talk)
DESCRIPTION:Mary Rizzo will examine forgotten moments from Schaefer’s terms as mayor. \nIn the 1970s\, Mayor William Donald Schaefer used arts and culture to sell a new image of Baltimore as quirky and charming to both tourists and business leaders. In this talk\, Mary Rizzo will examine forgotten moments from Schaefer’s terms as mayor\, from the creation of a failed local version of the Oscars\, called “The Don” awards to honor Baltimore’s film business\, to the Baltimore Promenade\, a public art project designed to integrate city neighborhoods through the act of walking. While Schaefer is remembered for large-scale projects like Harborplace and stunts like posing with a mermaid for the opening of the Baltimore aquarium\, his legacy should include his reimagining city government to include arts and culture–for good and ill. \nPresenter Bio: \nMary Rizzo is Assistant Professor of History at Rutgers University-Newark. She works at the intersection of inclusive public history\, digital humanities\, urban studies\, and 20th century U.S. cultural history.

SUMMARY:Virtual Talk: Olmsted Brothers Vision for Wyman Park and the Stony Run Stream Valley
DESCRIPTION:The presentation will focus on the Olmsted vision and what remains today! Wyman Park and the Stony Run Stream Valley demonstrate the premier design work of the Olmsted Brothers from 1903 to 1947. The influential landscape architecture firm was established in 1898 by brothers John Charles Olmsted and Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.\, sons of the eminent landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. The Municipal Art Society hired them to produce the City’s first comprehensive park system plan in 1904\, the Development of Public Grounds for Greater Baltimore Report. The Wyman family had donated land for Johns Hopkins University in 1902 for use as a northern campus and that same year\, the University gave the remainder of the land to the City of Baltimore to serve as a public park. \nIn the 1904 Report\, the Olmsted Brothers identified Wyman Park\, with its old beech trees and bold topography\, as one of the finest single passages of scenery to be so near a large city and advocated for it to become a stream valley reserve and extended north and south Bookending the University to the southeast and fitting into the City grid is the intact Wyman Park Dell\, a 16-acre public park noted for its steep enclosing slopes and a large\, sweeping lower lawn\, fully realized and conceived by the Olmsted Brothers. The presentation will focus on their vision and what remains today from Stony Run’s headwaters at the city’s northern border to where the stream joins the Jones Falls River to the south. \nIn addition to the Baltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage\, Inc.\, this Virtual History is co-sponsored by the Friends of Maryland’s Olmsted Parks & Landscapes (FMOPL) and the Maryland Society of Landscape Architects. \n  \nPresenters’ Bios: \nSince 1986\, Sandy Sparks\, founding president of the FMOPL\, is strongly committed to the non-profit organization’s involvement in streetscape\, park system and watershed planning\, in addition to its significant archive of Olmsted drawings.

SUMMARY:Lake Clifton High: The Story of Baltimore's Most Ambitious Modernist School
DESCRIPTION:Lake Clifton was Baltimore’s crown jewel of a massive school building effort. What happened? \nThis presentation will outline the history of Baltimore’s Lake Clifton High School. Completed in 1971 as the crown jewel of a massive school-building effort\, the sprawling and state-of-the-art campus was expected to stimulate racial integration and ease school overcrowding. However\, white students immediately rejected the school and the campus’ huge capacity was never filled. Lake Clifton developed a poor reputation around the city\, and recently closed for good after years of restructuring and physical dilapidation. The campus is likely to soon be acquired and demolished by Morgan State University; thus\, now is an ideal time to examine and commemorate Lake Clifton’s role in a tumultuous period of Baltimore’s history. \nJulian Frost\, grew up in Baltimore and graduated from Baltimore City College in 2019 and is currently a sophomore at Haverford College. He is majoring in the Growth and Structure of Cities program at Haverford’s sister school\, Bryn Mawr. Over the past year Julian has developed a great interest in the history of Baltimore’s built environment\, and is currently thinking about how to direct this interest into productive\, creative\, and potentially professional avenues. Julian started an Instagram page (@baltimorebuilthistory) as a repository for his casual research and findings. \nThis program is hosted on Zoom.

SUMMARY:The Baltimore Greenway Trails Network: A Virtual Talk on Connecting Baltimore's Trails
DESCRIPTION:The Baltimore Greenway Trails Coalition seeks to create a 35-mile world-class network of urban trails that link together the diverse neighborhoods\, cultural amenities and outdoor resources that make up the landscape of Baltimore City. The Coalition seeks to fill in the 10 remaining miles to create a connected urban trail network serving all of Baltimore. Incredible opportunities exist to complete this network by repurposing unused railroad corridors\, outdated road networks\, industrial brownfields\, and inaccessible waterfronts into multi-use shared paths which will connect every corner of the city. Participants in this discussion will learn how a coalition of public\, private\, non-profit\, and neighborhood led groups are seeking to turn these barriers in the built environment into community connectors through the Baltimore Greenway Trail Network. \nJoin us to learn how we are building a coalition as diverse as Baltimore to advance this important project and learn how we have been able to engage with AIA’s Urban Design Committee to bring the power of design thinking to this critical project for Baltimore’s future. As a recent study by EY examined\, the potential economic and social benefits of implementing the Greenway will provide a significant economic impact to Baltimore in addition to providing equitable\, healthy\, low-stress access to open space and reliable transportation\, healthy living\, and recreation for people of all ages and abilities in every corner of the city. The neighborhoods within a half mile of the Greenway are composed of 58% African-American residents and have a home ownership rate of 48%\, which represents similar demographic diversity and home ownership rates to Baltimore. The completed trail will bring economic and social benefits to a wide cross section of Baltimore’s population. \nBaltimore Architecture Foundation (BAF) and Baltimore Heritage present a series of 30 minute live virtual tours and presentations focusing on Baltimore architecture\, preservation and history. \nThis program is hosted on Zoom.
