“Like a rite of passage,
the past president . . . presented me with authentic baseball shin guards to ward off the under-the-table kicks of pointed shoes delivered by our
Executive Director.”
|
“Our major objective . . . was to establish an Architectural College within the state. The committee . . . worked continuously with the University of Wisconsin and the business community to demonstrate the potential benefits that an in-state school would provide the whole state.” |
“After some correspondence, Frank Lloyd Wright agreed to host a visit. Unfortunately, he passed away before our scheduled visit; however, his wife insisted we come as planned.” |
“It is an extremely satisfying way to help direct your profession while meeting some of the nicest people in the process.” |
“It was a time of great adventures for WSA. Since participation from members in the La Crosse area was virtually at a stand-still, we worked . . . to get that important group on board.” |

“The Wisconsin State Journal, with its policy to support the preservation of historic structures . . . was receptive to our proposal of gifting the necessary land, the Stoner House and parking to the Wisconsin Architects Foundation . . . The project was completed in
about 10 months.” |
“The Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) program was developed . . . [and] efforts were also pursued to reduce the impact of architects’ liability claims by seeking changes to the joint and several liability provisions in state statutes.” |
“The most significant initiative . . . was the reinstatement of the
Statute of Repose for
architects . . .
Our futures, and those of our families, are safer for it.” |
“I met the late Fay Jones, who gave this young architect about five minutes of his time and
advice . . . That night, like so many other times throughout my career, proves the old adage: you get back more than you give . . .” |
“After describing the use of lofty design principles to children, we got
down to their practical application
with the homeless shelter.” |

“We partnered with a local group . . . that would own and operate the developed facility. It would be occupied by working homeless . . . people in training for employment. Fundraising, grants, loans and donated materials and services led to a three-unit dwelling, once a former crack house on Madison’s eastside.” |
“Some of my clearest memories
include . . . the annual visit with our congressional delegation in
Washington D.C. during Grassroots . . . [and] helping to establish an ethic of
asking our members
for their views.” |
“The year was marked by a spirit of collaboration with our allied professional groups . . . to build bridges of understanding and develop a path to work together on issues common to
all of the organizations.” |
“Wisconsin components did exceptional work giving back to their communities. The Southwest Chapter’s work in planning the redevelopment of a blighted neighborhood on Madison’s south side and AIA Milwaukee’s work for infill housing in central Milwaukee were highlights
of our efforts.” |
“It was the inaugural year of the
AIA Wisconsin Design Awards video shown in the Expo and at the awards ceremony . . . Say Hey!” |
