1:15 – 2:00 PMFaith Rose, AIA, Principal, O’Neill Rose Architects, New York, NY “Home”

“Home” will take a look at the new ways that people are defining the concept of ‘home,’ as reflected in the work of O’Neill Rose Architects, from multiple generations living in a single house, to aging in place, to live-work environments.

2:15 – 3:00 PMThomas F. Robinson, AIA, Founding Principle, Lever Architecture, Portland, OR “Looking Ahead: The Future of Mass Timber in the US”

What’s next for mass timber? This presentation highlights the United States’ legacy of timber construction and recent wood innovations, with a focus on the issues that will shape the next decade of mass timber design. Specific themes to be addressed include sustainable wood sourcing and forest management practices, timber’s eco-nomic benefit to rural communities, hybrid timber structures, and more integrated approaches to design and fabrication.

3:15 – 4:00 PM Ben Wachter, AIA, Principal, Waechter Architecture, Portland, OR“Clarity”

For Waechter Architecture, the experience of a place is paramount. We feel an instinctual draw to the environments in which we feel most alive, awake, and

present. These are environments where the relationship of elements is apparent and intertwined. These are the environments that contain a distinct character and coherence yet are open to change and evolution. These are the environments that appear both timeless and vital. Ultimately, these are the environments that resonate in the mind, offering intelligibility to the world around us. Throughout our work, we seek to discover and evoke a similar sense of clarity, producing spaces for more vivid experiences. This lecture explores themes and techniques used to achieve this goal of clarity in four projects.

Ben Waechter, AIAPrincipal, Waechter Architecture, Portland, OR

A graduate of the University of Oregon, Ben Waechter is

recognized as one of the top emerging architects in the United States.

He founded Waechter Architecture in 2008 to pursue experiential and clear, distilled design concepts for a wide range of building types and scales. Prior to this, he worked on large scale cultural and workspace projects at Allied Works Architecture and Renzo Piano Building Workshop.

Ben Waechter’s approach is fueled by a drive for spatial, formal and compositional clarity that transcends place, time or style. Working closely with his team, clients, consultants and contractors, Ben’s principles lie in providing bold forms arrived at through exercises in concept, distillation, and intelligent programming. Each project is conceived as a singular response that evokes an experiential identity, creating spaces and places that balance the composition of interior and exterior to establish functional, lasting iconic works of architecture.

The work of Ben and Waechter Architecture have received numerous design awards from the American Institute of Architects and in 2019, he was named to the The Architectural League’s annual Emerging Voices, a program that spotlights North American architects, landscape architects, and urban designers who have significant bodies of realized work and the potential to influence their field.

Since 2012, Ben has taught graduate studios as an adjunct instructor at the University of Oregon, School of Architecture. He is a registered architect in the states of Oregon, Washington, Michigan, and North Carolina, a member of the American Institute of Architects and a member of NCARB.
