Architect encourages
changes in designs
By MUnya Shore
Sty irw Oregon 0*r> fmenUG
Susan Maxman. the First female president of the American Insti
tute of Architects, has shown a particular interest in the University's
architecture program.
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 "
