Last Thursday Maxman took time out of her bus v si heciule to host a forum that dealt with her AIA platform of sustainable design. Maxman has been active on many panels and is a frequent lectur er around the country. Besides representing the U S architectural community at the "International Earth Summit" in Rio do Janeiro last June. Maxman recently participated in a series of government meet ings titled "Buildings. Energy and Environment." These meetings dealt with the design of buildings that use mal energy, and have a minimal impact on the environment I Jnlikn many of today's professional architects, Maxman challenges the architectural norm She said the world population, and especially those who live in the the 1 'nited States, possesses ,i "throw-away men tality." That is. instead of trvii it preserve the environment and incor porate life around nature, developers tend to build at will and "aban don the cities and move on" when developments become over crowded. Fortunately, the Northwest is set tin;, 'he standard for the rest of the country. Surrounded by nature, Oregon architects and architectural students have a different design aesthetic then others around the coun try. At u worldwide sustainable design competition last year, the Five Americans who placed were all from Oregon. However, this appre ciation for the environment is not typical of most colleges. Maxman said architecture students are conditioned to listen only to their clients' needs, not those of the environment. She refuses to accept this philosophy. "Architects must see all society as our clients," Maxman said. "We as a profession must stand up and be counted." Maxman said students must gather on masse and challenge the existing curriculum. She said it can be done because changes are already being made at the University of California at Berkeley and Ball State University in Indiana. As for already accredited architects, changes have been made since the AIA conference in Chicago a few months ago. Thanks to Max man's insistence that sustainable design las the theme of the confer ence, every architect present agreed to try to integrate environmen tally friendly design into his or her work. Several countries have also signed an interdependence treaty that commits them to sustainable design. Maxman also addressed the reputation of the professional archi tect. She said most people view architects as “elitist and arrogant." She said that in order to get past these untruths, architects must branch out into other fields. Politics is one of the places that architects' voices and points of view can be heard. "Anyone can design in a vacuum," Maxman said. "We need to gath er all the information together and find a solution We have to edu cate. reform and be loaders. The future of our profession rests in our schools " ET ALS Chi Alpha Christian Fel lowship will hold and open Bible study discussion.
