These gatherings are called “Sketch Crawls.” We would rotate through different regional cities and small towns\, at this point maybe once a month. These would typically be held on Saturdays or Sundays. We would meet on a designated day at a designated time at a designated place. Then everyone would scatter to sketch for about 2 hours\, say 11 AM-1 PM. \nWe would then gather at a local craft brewery\, grab drinks and snacks\, and have a “Throwdown.” The Throwdown is where everyone lays out their sketches side by side…everyone walks around and looks at all the sketches…hangs out and talks sketching.

You just have to enjoy sketching!\nSketches do not need to be a finished drawing\, ready for framing. These are sketches! Some people may spend two hours on a single sketch. Others may do two or three sketches in the allotted time.\nYou can use ANYTHING to produce your sketches…watercolor\, pen and ink\, pencil\, pastel\, dip pens\, twigs and ink\, markers\, and on and on.\nThe Throwdowns and discussion and camaraderie at the end are TOTALLY NONJUDGEMENTAL…and fun! Any and all comments will be constructive. I have never been involved with a group more accepting and helpful and welcoming than urban sketchers. Do NOT worry about being bad\, being judged\, or not being good enough.

Invite a friend and Hope to see you Saturday! \n_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________\nThe main focus of an urban sketchers chapter is for everyone to meet up in a city or town…go out…and…sketch! These gatherings are called “Sketch Crawls.” We would rotate through different regional cities and small towns\, at this point maybe once a month. These would typically be held on Saturdays or Sundays. We would meet on a designated day at a designated time at a designated place. Then everyone would scatter to sketch for about 2 hours\, say 11 AM-1 PM. \nWe would then gather at a local craft brewery\, grab drinks and snacks\, and have a “Throwdown.” The Throwdown is where everyone lays out their sketches side by side…everyone walks around and looks at all the sketches…hangs out and talks sketching. Then rinse…repeat…next month! \n A few very important items: \n\nYou do not need to be a polished trained artist to participate. I expect from beginners to veterans to participate. You just have to enjoy sketching!\nSketches do not need to be a finished drawing\, ready for framing. These are sketches! Some people may spend two hours on a single sketch. Others may do two or three sketches in the allotted time.\nYou can use ANYTHING to produce your sketches…watercolor\, pen and ink\, pencil\, pastel\, dip pens\, twigs and ink\, markers\, and on and on.\nThe Throwdowns and discussion and camaraderie at the end are TOTALLY NONJUDGEMENTAL…and fun! Any and all comments will be constructive. I have never been involved with a group more accepting and helpful and welcoming than urban sketchers. Do NOT worry about being bad\, being judged\, or not being good enough.

It’s also an opportunity to introduce and remind lawmakers of architects’ contributions and expertise throughout their districts and beyond. \nThe primary goal of the District Days meetings is to build relationships with legislators through discussions around work and life in the district. These relationships are critical to furthering the profession and AIA Pennsylvania’s standing as a go-to resource for our elected officials to position us for better outcomes when we call on them to support the architects’ position throughout the legislative session. \nSteps for Advocacy Success\nHere’s a step-by-step review of the District Days pre-meeting action items that will set you up for success. \n1. Identify Your Legislators\nIdentify your state legislators (Senator and Representative) by inputting your home address in the “Find Your Legislator” feature. You will be asked to identify your legislators at registration. \n2. Register with Your Availability \nWe encourage you to meet in person in your legislators’ district office or host a “take your legislator to work” visit. Register yourself or your office* with your preferences and availability for August by Friday\, July 12\, so we can get your meetings on the books. \n3. Register for the District Days Primer\nWe will host a preparatory webinar date to be announced to cover a step-by-step roadmap for your meetings. On-demand replay access will be made available to those that cannot attend. All registered participants will receive the link to the webinar and a calendar invitation in mid July. \n4. Review the Blueprint\nReview the District Days “Blueprint” to participants\, covering step-by-step guidance for in-meeting\, post-meeting\, and some helpful dos and don’ts. \n5. Schedule a Pre-Meeting (if applicable)\nHosting your legislator(s) in your office? Do some reconnaissance to determine if your colleagues are constituents and invite them to participate in the visit/meeting. If you are meeting with your legislator in a group or hosting them in your office\, schedule a pre-meeting with all participants/colleagues to adapt the blueprint to work for your group. \n*If you are a Principal or Firm Leader\, consider hosting your legislator(s) at your office. Legislators are elected to serve you based on your residential address. Suppose your legislator(s)’ territory does not include your firm’s office. In that case\, we will look at several factors before extending the invite. A firm visit will allow your legislator to see firsthand how your work impacts clients and communities in their district\, throughout the Commonwealth\, and beyond.

Attorney Michael Pascoe\, who has been involved in providing an amicus brief to the court\, will introduce us to the case\, the theory on which the plaintiff is basing its claim\, and the legal framework on which the lower courts have relied thus far to deny the claim. \nPanelists will briefly discuss design and construction quality assurance procedures typically followed to limit errors and omissions\, how standards of care may have been different in the early 1980’s\, record documents that should be retained\, potential ramifications for other projects\, the need for closure\, and how physical damages or personal injuries resulting from an error or omission might affect liability term limits. Jon O’Brien will also outline efforts being made in Pennsylvania to legislate clearly defined time limits on A/E/C liability for public and private projects. Input and questions from attendees will be welcome! \nLearning objectives: \n\nRecognize the obligation of building owners to provide facilities that are conducive to the safety and well-being of their occupants.\nIdentify traditional contract and statutory provisions governing post-construction error and omission claims.\nUnderstand QAQC procedures that limit or eliminate post-construction error and omission claims and help to ensure life safety.\nAscertain the construction project record documents necessary for long term retention and how they may help in future claims resulting from personal injury\, physical damage\, or the cost of remedying design or construction errors or omissions.\n\nThis program has been submitted to the AIA CES for 1 HSW/LU.

Seven Trees (www.seventrees.com) will host us for lunch starting at 12:15 pm\, followed by a tour of the woodworking facility\, ending at 2:15 pm. Seven Trees is a member of the Architectural Woodworking Institute and participant in AWI’s Quality Certification Program (QCP)\, specializing in the manufacturing and installation of custom cabinets\, doors\, furniture\, and commercial millwork\, plus metalwork\, much of it for the restaurant and hospitality industries. \nAt 2:15 pm we will migrate to Modlogiq (www.modlogiq.com)\, 191 Quality Circle\, in New Holland for a 2:30 pm educational presentation on off-site modular commercial building construction and a tour of the manufacturing plant\, ending at 4:00 pm. Modlogiq provides a high level of quality control through a process of detailed design\, manufacturing and assembly in the factory\, followed by disassembly\, transport\, and re-assembly on the construction site. \nThis program is being submitted to AIA CES for continuing education credit. Continuing education certificates will be available to all attendees upon request. Learning Objectives include: \n\nLearning about the benefits of the Architectural Woodwork Institute’s Quality Standards and Quality Certification Program.\nDiscussing advantages offered by off-site modular construction\, including design-assist\, greater control of cost and schedule\, and increased quality assurance.\nUnderstanding how Code compliance and inspections in the modular construction process differ from traditional field-built construction process.\nExamining how a modular construction process can integrate architectural\, mechanical and electrical features to result in a high level of energy efficiency and user well-being.\n\nAfter the tours\, if we have enough Board members present for a quorum\, we will journey to a restaurant to conduct our October Board Meeting. Non-board members are welcome to attend as it will likely include social networking and dinner. If an insufficient number of Board members are present\, the Board meeting will be held via Zoom starting at 6:00 pm. \nAttendees must register for this event at www.cpc-csi.com\, no later than Noon\, Monday October 6\, so we can inform Seven Trees Woodworking of the number for lunch.
