SEEK CINCY is an architectural scavenger hunt that challenges the participants to identify significant local buildings and places from clues provided by the AFC. Teams of 5 representing local companies had to select from 50 clues and go to as many of the locations as they could within a 2 hour period. Teams documented the location by taking team photos and posting them on Instagram. AFC volunteers tracked their progress and confirmed their accuracy while photos streamed live on Instagram. The scavenger hunt was followed by a reception and awards ceremony at the old police station on Broadway The AFC conducted a bus tour of Columbus Indiana on November 3 and construction tours of 2 buildings on the UC Medical Campus on November 15. A group of architectural enthusiasts joined the AFC to explore the midwest mecca for modern architecture, Columbus Indiana. The bus tour included stops at 2 significant churhes as well as a walking tour downtown. Hearty fans of architecture also joined the AFC on a very cold and rainy day to tour the new Gardner Neuroscience Center and the Health Sciences Building on the UC East campus. Both buildings were designed by the Chicago office of Perkins & Will, the first for UC Health and the second for the UC Academic Health Center. The AFC is offering a tour of the Boulter House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright on January 12. The Boulter House is one of only 4 houses designed by the famous architect in the Cincinnati area. Built in 1956, the house was designed for Cedric and Patricia Boulter who were both Greek scholars at the University of Cincinnati. The house sits prominently on a ridge in the Clifton neighborhood. It was originally designed for another site and adapted to fit the new terrain. Wright designed an addition as maidʼs quarters about a year after its completion on the opposite side of the carport. Subsequent owners have enclosed the carport and made it a dining room and converted the maidʼs quarters into a master bedroom suite. The AFC is hosting a series of discussions in 2019 to explore what makes a building significant and Why Architecture Matters. The mission of the architectural foundation is to promote understanding of the value of architecture and design to the health and vibrancy of our community. The first discussion will occur in February and focus on the design of Union Terminal. Looking at functionality, the discussion will look at the creative solution achieved to integrate multiple movement systems into the design allowing for the effective flow of vehicles and people thru the building while creating one of the most iconic buildings in the cityʼs history. The 2019 Design LAB program is titled “Push Play” and is under way with about 2,000 students participating in the program. The program launches formally in January, but many volunteers have alread made classroom visits to introduce what architec- ture is to the students and stimulate their imaginations about what play spaces can be. The students will be presented with a design challenge to create their own play space and will have 4 months to do their designs and create models of their solutions. The program continues to grow thanks to support from the Spirit of Construction Foundation, the First Financial Foundation, and firms like SHP Leading Design and Hixson. The AFC wishes to thank Michael Kelley for his 12 years of service to the foundation. Michael, the 2012-13 President of the Board of Trustees stepped down from the Board at the November meeting after the completion of his fourth term on the Board. During his presidency, the AFC instituted its first public Great House Tour of the Hanna Resicence and assumed responsibility for the Architecture By Children program from AIA Cincinnati. The latter was rebranded as Design LAB: Learn And Build and continues to grow in participation and popularity. Michael continued to focus his interest on subsequent Great House Tours including the iconic Taft Residence, the Geier House, and the Corbett Residence. On January 1, Christen Lubbers will assume the leader- ship of the AFC as Steve Sendelbeck steps down as Executive Director. Christen joined the AFC 3 years ago and has served as the foundationʼs Education Director for the past 2 years. She has been instrumental in growing the Design LAB program and reaching out to other organizations such as the USGBC. Steve has served as the Executive Director for the past 3.5 years and has been instrumental in implementing new programs including the ArchiTour walking tour app, Doors Open OTR, and roundta- ble discussions on important topics. Colleen OʼConnor will support Christen in her new role, and Steve will remain part-time thru March to support Christen in the transitioin.
