Ray Bailey Architects, Inc., is the 2001 Firm Award Recipient
A jury of former Firm Award winners selected Ray Bailey Architects, Inc. to receive the 2001 Firm Award for its demonstrated commitment to design excellence and professional and public service over a period of twenty-five years.
Winner of thirty-eight design awards from the Chapter, TSA, and allied professional organizations, RBAI's practice spans nine states and a broad range of building types. Recent projects include the new Houston Children's Zoo, the Lighthouse Center for Adaptive Technology, preservation master plans and restoration of four historic Texas courthouses, churches, city and country homes, a university medical center, and a multi-year program to improve the public parks in Houston.
The three principals of RBAI complement each other to give the firm collaborative synergy. Ray Bailey, FAIA, in design, John Focke, FAIA, in programming, and Ray Leiker, AIA, in technology, provide expert involvement through every phase of the project. Almost two-thirds of the staff of thirty-one are registered architects, reflecting the firm's commitment to professionalism. Included in the staff are three Fellows of the American Institute of Architects: Ray Bailey, FAIA, and Gerald Moorhead, FAIA, for design excellence, and John Focke, FAIA, for public service.
RBAI encourages professional and public service. All three principals have served (or are serving) as President of AIA Houston: Bailey in 1985; Focke in 1989; and Leiker in 2001. Bailey served as President of the Texas Society of Architect in 1989, as well as terms on the boards of the Texas Architectural Foundation and TSA's Insurance Benefit Trust. Pam Vassallo, AIA, serves as Chapter secretary and TSA Director; Frank Whitson, AIA, is chair of the exhibition committee and serves on the Housing Committee. Leiker fosters industry-wide collaboration through his involvement on the AIA/AGC Joint Committee and supports the Chapter's continuing education program by presenting seminars on contract documents and other technical issues.
The staff has donated 2040 hours over the past six years to PSI HomeSavers, a project that repairs houses for disadvantaged homeowners. Other firm-wide community service projects include assistance to disadvantaged children, Salvation Army male residents, adoption of three animals for the Houston Zoo, and the Light House Summer Camp.
Combining design excellence, civic responsibility, and commitment to professionalism, Ray Bailey Architects, Inc., has built an architectural practice diverse in projects and staff and deep in experience and talent.
The Firm Award is given to a Houston firm that has consistently produced distinguished architecture for a period of at least ten years.
Michael Surface and the Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation Receive Chapter Citation of Honor
Michael Surface and the Corporation he heads were recognized for their role in the redevelopment of the AstroDomain into Reliant Park, an essential public investment in the South Main area and a major catalyst for its renewal.
This newly formed local government corporation assumed the responsibility for the ongoing operation of Reliant Park a year ago, providing more flexibility and efficiency than was possible in the county's traditional department system. The corporation is also able to expedite delivery of projects through planning, development, and partnering with the private sector.
In addition to infrastructure improvements at the site, under construction are an exposition center and the new Reliant Stadium. Future plans include opportunities to create other entertainment facilities that will complement the area and integrate access to the light rail line on Fannin.
The Corporation has worked in concert with the Main Street Coalition, the Texas Medical Center, the Texas Department of Transportation and METRO in the revitalization of the South Main area.
The Citation is awarded to organizations that make outstanding contributions to the community in the fields of civic improvements, conservation, beautification, transportation, or social responsibility. Previous recipients include the Cultural Arts Council of Houston and Harris County, the Bayou Bend Docents, and the Galveston Historical Foundation.
Wes Good Named Young Architect for 2001
Wes Good, AIA, Senior Vice President of Kirksey, was named 2001 Young Architect at Celebrate Architecture on April 21.
Both a talented designer and skilled manager, Good earns accolades from peers, contractors, and clients alike. Two years after joining Kirksey in 1990, he designed the Kinkaid Library, winner of a Chapter Design Award as well as local and national ASID awards. After five years with the firm, he was promoted to Associate and named chairman of the Finance Committee. He developed a project budgeting system for the firm and, as team leader, developed and implemented a business and marketing plan for the Education Group. Vice President in 1997, a jury of his peers promoted him to Senior Vice President in 1999. The American Schools and Universities have twice given their Outstanding Building Award to projects he has managed.
John Kirksey describes him: "Wes's personal discipline and strong work ethic were obvious from day one. . . . His programming and design talents soon had Wes managing the design process and ultimately providing the management for the entire project. . . . Wes stands out as a young professional who has the vision to understand the long-term objectives and potential for this firm, the discipline to execute our plan on a daily basis, and the leadership skills to inspire those who work with him to reach their highest potential."
Good is a 1990 graduate of Texas A&M University with a Masters of Architecture.
The 2001 jury is Ernesto Maldonado, AIA, past president of AIA Houston; Donna Kacmar, AIA, 2000 Young Architect; and Ikhlas Sabouni, Associate AIA, dean of the School of Architecture at Prairie View A&M University.
The Young Architect Award was established to recognize excellence in ability and exceptional contributions by architects who are under 40 years of age or are in their first ten years of practice. The award is given for exceptional work and general excellence in the practice of architecture. The range of activities for which an individual may be considered includes design, the science of construction, literature, education, service to the profession, public service, historic preservation, research, urban design, government, industry, or architectural practice. The jury may select no more than three nominees to receive the award.
Ed Wulfe Named Honorary Member
Described by one of his nominators as "an architect in Wulfe's clothing," Ed Wulfe not only listens to and shares the architect's concerns about good building and urban design but also does something about it.
Invited by Mayor Lee Brown to join the Main Street Coalition, an 85-member vision and action group with the goal of transforming Main Street into a signature boulevard, Wulfe became chairman of the coalition leading the civic side of the effort. The Coalition under Wulfe's leadership has focused public and private interest and commitment to the Main Street Corridor with the idea that beautiful civic places are the real economic development generators.
As a board member of Making Main Street Happen, he is influencing developments along the Main Street Corridor by promoting the idea of creating a series of urban civic places. He has been involved in promoting light rail in Houston, going so far as to meet with congressman Tom Delay in an attempt to win federal funding for the project.
Ed Wulfe began his involvement in the built environment as a retail broker. He later evolved into a developer. His sensitivity to good planning and design led to the transformation of two major regional shopping centers: Meyerland Plaza and Gulfgate.
Honorary Membership is reserved for individuals otherwise ineligible for membership who have rendered distinguished service to the profession. Previous recipients of this award include Congressman Ken Bentsen, Jr., parks advocate Terry Hershey, civic leader John Breeding, and artist Rick Lowe.
Art Guys Received Thomas Jefferson Award
The Art Guys, Jack Massing and Michael Galbreth, received the annual Thomas Jefferson Award at Celebrate Architecture April 21. The award, a tribute to the inventive spirit, is given annually to an individual who has demonstrated the creativity, expansive vision, and renaissance approach to the public good exemplified by Mr. Jefferson.
For years, as Lynn Herbert says in "Fools' Paradise," an essay in the catalogue of an Art Guys CAM exhibition, the Art Guys "have intrigued, entertained, puzzled and moved those who have come into contact with their art." That art includes sitting for twenty-four hours in a Denny's booth, selling newspapers on freeway exit ramps, creating sculptural objects, applying 1000 coats of paint to an Absolut vodka bottle, and setting museum and gallery walls ablaze to create "ephemeral drawings." ARTnews describes them: "collaborators since 1983, the Art Guys make very funny work that straddles the boundaries between art and life, esthetics and commercialism, the rational and the absurd." Walter Hopps, founding director and curator of the Menil Collection, calls them "ingenious -- real inventors and tinkerers." They make art accessible through humorous comments on politics and social traditions; they provoke thought by putting themselves in absurd situations. We can probably count on an absurd situation or two on the evening of Celebrate Architecture 2001.
Nine Projects Chosen by Design Awards Jury
Smith Photography Studios
Houston, Texas
Natalye Appel + Associates Architects
This new headquarters for a commercial photography studio is in a light industrial neighborhood just off Loop 610 in Houston. Three metal bar buildings are arranged to create a series of courtyard oases within the industrial landscape. Two wings, one containing the studios, shop and kitchens, the other offices and digital workstations, are bridged by a reception and lounge area. Passage through each wing is punctuated with views into the courtyards.
Jury comments: On an almost hostile site the architects were able, with the courtyards, to make something very, very wonderful. Another wonderful thing was the quality of light on the inside. The interaction of what was happening on the outside and what was happening on the inside made this project very special. A responsible, attractive place to work.
Client: Ralph Smith. Project team: Natalye Appel, FAIA, Principal, Shannon Sasser, Associate AIA, Senior Associate; Lonnie Hoogeboom, Associate AIA; Donna Kacmar, AIA, Rosanne Ramos, and Stuart Smith. Lewter Constructors, Inc.; Matrix Structural Engineers; Karen Rose Engineering & Surveying; Putterman Scharck & Assoc., Inc., lighting consultant; Arteferro, custom metal work; Suzanne Dungan, custom concrete floor finishes. Photographers: Hester + Hardaway.
Rehak Creative Services
Kingwood, Texas
Melton Henry Architect
The client's objective for his new building was to create a stimulating work environment that takes advantage of views to the trees and sky. The visitors' entry/administration building anchors one end of a long gallery, which connects a series of design and digital studios. The roof areas are raised, exposing structural elements and bringing in abundant natural light. Darkened enclosures and sailcloth sunscreens shade computer screens as needed. Each team has a working meeting space that faces the outside-an enclosed back porch. Bold color is use judiciously; sky, trees, and natural light are the most common elements in the space.
Jury comments: Many projects described the need for a collaborative work environment that supported team activity; this one did it. This project is one of the great interiors we saw: a simple but strong plan well executed; using standard building systems in a creative manner. The architect thought about what it would be like to work there.
Client: Bob Rehak, Rehak Creative Services. Project Team: Melton Henry, AIA, Ramon Janer; Benchmark Engineering Corporation, civil engineer; Jones/Borne/Inc., structural engineer; Boxx & Associates, MEP engineer; Quantum Sail Design Group, sail cloth screen; S. L. Crawford Construction; Ultimate Landscape Irrigation.
McLeod USA (formerly Splitrock)
The Woodlands, Texas
Gensler
The Gensler team was challenged by an internet backbone service provider to design their new space as a creative workplace for the technology industry. They wanted innovation in design; the CEO thought that squares and straight lines dictates inside-the-box thinking and he wanted to encourage outside-the-box exploration. The challenge was to design efficient, innovative office space in a long, L-shaped suburban building in a cost-effective manner. The client requested that the reception area, the presentation theater, and the restrooms-the areas most frequented by their visiting clients-be memorable. Bursts of color are used to provide orientation. Standard materials are used in unique ways. Numerous sustainable elements are incorporated into the space; structural elements and "how it works" technology is exposed.
Jury comments: A knock-out interior in an improbable suburban office building. It makes an effective statement about a work environment without relying on super-saturated color. The architects chose a few places to use color well and created an environment that's more about light. This is a space we could imagine going to work in and really enjoying it.
Client: Splitrock Services. Project Team: James E. Furr, FAIA; Kent M. Wiseman, AIA; Charley Kifer, AIA; Marilyn G. Archer, FIIDA; Dave Painter, IIDA; John Harrison; Nancy Kendall; Maksim Koloskov. Associated Architect: Asparagus. Advanced Technologies, Inc., MEP; Tellepsen Corporation, general contractor; Haynes Whaley Associates, structural engineer; Studio of Richard Jeter, lighting design. Photographer: John Miller, Hedrick-Blessing Photographers.
Market Street Lofts
Galveston, Texas
Bob Robinowitz, Architects
Four contiguous two and three story commercial buildings in downtown Galveston, immediately adjacent to the city's historic district, were restored to their 19th century facades and converted to provide retail and residential spaces for lease or purchase. The 1950s "modernization" was removed and exterior colors both break up the project mass and reflect the brilliant Galveston light. Balconies and roof decks create both public and private outdoor spaces. Natural light is brought into the residential common areas through rooftop cupolas at the third level and glass floors to the second level. More light is introduced into the residential units through clerestory/transom windows and glass doors.
Jury comments: The interiors are delightful and done with minimal means. Simple gestures really made this a terrific project, an incredible gift to The Strand. The best urban design project we saw.
Client: Market-Market, Ltd. Project Team: Bob Robinowitz, AIA, architect; Terry Conrad Builder. Photographers: George Gomes, Bob Robinowitz, Eric Schmidt.
YMCA Renovations
Houston, Texas
PageSoutherlandPage
Responding to the changing housing needs of Houston's low to moderate income wage earners, the YMCA renovated 256 residential units in three locations. The project was designed to provide affordable transitional housing for singles who need low-cost housing for an extended period of time. The YMCA wanted to create brighter, more inviting housing, as well as a structured community setting with social functions, staff support and assistance for its residents. The first renovation since 1940 provides residents with a cheerful, dignified and functional home. In addition to adding private baths to rooms on three floors, common spaces (living room and kitchenette) were created at the elevator lobby to encourage a sense of community. Using economical materials, the architects employed color, patterns, and light to create a welcoming and home-like environment. Through the use of color, each room takes on its own identity, enabling residents to establish their own sense of place.
Jury comments: The client received maximum benefit from its use of resources. This is a project that works from the inside out. It has a wonderful sense of dignity about it, even though each person has a very minimal amount of space. Paint, linoleum, and a simple attitude toward exposing the structure made this a delightful project.
Client: YMCA of Greater Houston Area, Joel Brasher, Executive Director. Project Team: Design architect: John Cryer, III, AIA, Arturo Chavez, Joan Albert, John Bartlett. Photographer: Mike McCormick
Country Residence
Shelby, Texas
Jay Baker Architects
A country retreat for a family of five and their friends, the house is sited on 200 acres of rolling land 100 miles west of Houston. It combines a motel efficiency with the forms of industrial and rural outbuildings. The view from all bedrooms and the communal living, dining and kitchen space is directed past mature live oak trees, down the hillside to a creek and meadow in the distance. An exterior covered walk connects the private bedrooms with the living/dining room. A dogtrot between the two serves as arrival. A screened porch is above the dogtrot, accessible from the living room and the bunkroom.
Jury comments: This is very much a building of its place, integrated with the site. It has both elegance and modesty in dealing with both the interior and exterior. Without trying too hard it found the fine line between the overly splendid and belonging to the landscape. A very well executed diagram, clear and carried through extremely well.
Project Team: Jay Baker, AIA, project designer, Paul Brow, project architect; Julie Watkins Baker, interior design; Southampton Group, general contractor; Matrix Structural Engineers. Photographer: Joe Aker.
Bullock Residence
Brenham, Texas
Jay Baker Architects
A retired couple wanting to consolidate a high rise Houston apartment and a 19th century farmhouse in Chappel Hill purchased property in Brenham occupied by a 150 year old live oak tree. A combined living and dining space opens to a covered porch facing the oak tree and connects other public and private spaces on either side. Two courtyards admit additional natural light to the center of the house. Clerestory windows admit northern light freely. A view through the southern clerestory windows reveals the porch ceiling. A stone wall encloses the motor court, clads and enters the house, anchors the living room as fireplace, and exits the house and circles the oak tree.
Jury comments: Several projects claimed that a tree was important; this one really paid attention to the tree. There is a wonderful sense of light and space in a seemingly simple form. In a very quiet way the inside and outside work together in a poetic fashion.
Client: Jane and Tom Bullock, FAIA. Project team: Jay Baker, AIA, project designer, Peter Foxley, AIA, project architect. Photographers: Joe Aker, Fran Brennan.
One Waverly Court
Houston, Texas
Glassman Shoemake Maldonado Architects, Inc.
This house, on a busy street in Houston's museum district, is designed for a couple with a collection of mid-century furniture and minimalist art. Brick, stucco, aluminum windows and metal panels are used to minimize maintenance of the exterior. The brick was chosen to match existing brick in the neighborhood, the metal panels as a response to Gunnar Birketts' stainless steel Contemporary Arts Museum, one block away. The metal clad stair tower is a dynamic, sloping-walled form. The brick rectangular form acts as the backdrop for the stair tower and contains the main living functions. Translucent screened porches allow cross breezes through the house and provide view of the skyline toward the east and dramatic sunsets toward the west.
Jury comments: This is a masterful use of all of the materials of the neighborhood in a way that did not challenge the context. It integrated very different attitudes about materials and picked up the best of brick, the best of metal siding in a very dynamic way. This is a wonderful combination of some of the best things in Houston. It's got all of the energy and the light in the entrance and then calm in the brick part, a thoughtful living environment.
Project Team: Carrie Glassman Shoemake, AIA; Ernesto Maldonado, AIA; Kathleen Knull; Eric Perry; Les Schmidt. Renaissance Builders, contractor; Robert L. Wright, structural engineer; Linda Cummings, lighting consultant; William Hartman, landscape consultant; Will Fleming, horticulturalist. Photographer: Hester + Hardaway Photographers.
Live Oak Friends Meetinghouse
Houston, Texas
Leslie Elkins Architects
In a Quaker meeting space there are no icons, no semblance of familiar religious symbols. Light is the metaphorical connection between each Friend and God. Locating James Turrell's "Skyspace" in the center of the structure alludes to one's own center in worship and in being receptive to the Light. Deep porches that serve as exterior rooms for congregational gatherings wrap the building. The proportions of the rooms as well as the texture of the materials contribute to the richness one senses in a relatively simple environment. Since meetings are silent, the architecture and the light it frames become the elements for reflection and meditation.
Jury comments: A bold yet simple effort, skillfully done and completely consistent with its mission. The architect exercised great restraint and contributed to this collaboration in very significant ways. The sequence of spaces is quite wonderful. When the roof is closed the space is very mysterious; when open, unbelievable. A great natural building that both connects to the traditions of the East Coast and grows out of Houston. This Meetinghouse both contains and is a work of art.
Client: Live Oaks Friends Meeting. Project Team: Leslie Elkins, AIA, Ben Thorne; Lenja Gould; James Turrell, artist; W. S. Bellows Contractors; James Austin, structural engineer; Karen Rose, civil engineer; Day Brown Rice, MEP engineers. Photographers: Paul Hester, Ben Thorne, Leslie Elkins.
Miller Outdoor Theater Receives 25 Year Award
Miller Outdoor Theater, designed in 1968 by Eugene Werlin and Associates, received AIA Houston's 25 Year Award as part of the Good Brick Awards ceremony hosted by the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance. Accepting the award from Ray Leiker, AIA, President of AIA Houston, were Susan Christian, representing the Parks and Recreation Department of Houston, and Mrs. Eugene Werlin, widow of the architect. Mrs. Werlin was accompanied by her son, Eugene, Jr., his wife and daughter.
A jury of former Chapter presidents: Ben Brewer, FAIA; Jack McGinty, FAIA; and Herb Paseur, FAIA, reviewed a dozen nominations before agreeing that Miller Theater not only met the criterion of "distinguished architecture of lasting value," but also continues to serve as an important part of Houston's civic and cultural life.
The dramatic canopy of Miller Theater was designed by Eugene Werlin and Associates in 1968 using Cor-ten steel. Three triangular fold plates spanning 95 feet cover the stage and open air seating area with a bold geometry. Walter P. Moore was the engineer for the project. Ray Bailey Architects, Inc. designed new support facilities in 1998 behind the volume of the high stage loft continuing the image of the original steel construction with exposed steel canopies and expressive detailing. The theater is owned by the City of Houston and operated by the Parks Department.
Among the recipients of Good Bricks were Diane and Harry Gendel, AIA, for the restoration and adaptive reuse of the Philip M. Helfrich house in the Sixth Ward, and Avenue CDC, Donna Kacmar, AIA, president of the Board of Trustees, for the Move Home Project. Louis Skidmore, AIA, is President of the Greater Houston Preservation Alliance. Also serving on the Board are Bill Eide, AIA; Wendy Teas Heger, AIA, Paul Homeyer, AIA, Hill Swift, AIA, and Joe Webb, AIA. Advisory Board members include Ed Eubansk, AIA, Guy Hagstette, AIA, Rick Lowe, Hon AIA Houston, Barry Moore, FAIA, Martha Murphree, Hon AIA, and Simon Wiltz, AIA.
