Happy New Year
Happy New Year!
Your AIA Kentucky leadership team
and staff have hit the ground running in 2012, with plans underway for a lot of
great continuing education opportunities this Spring, an exciting Annual
Convention in Lexington in the Fall, and a busy and productive government
affairs effort during the 2012 legislative session starting this week. We
continue our commitment to collaborating with key partners in the building and
construction industry to garner support and recognition of the important
contributions we make to Kentucky's economy.
Codes Update-New Edition of KBC Issued
The Kentucky Department of
Housing, Buildings and Construction has released the latest edition of the
2007 KBC with changes that became effective November 30, 2011. Mandatory
enforcement begins February 1, 2012. The changes will be found to
Sections 3001.2, 3002.9, 3002.9.1, 3006.4.1, 3009.2, 3009.2.1 and 3009.2.2.
There are also changes made to
the editions used for the NEC and NFPA 54. These changes will be found in
the updated pages of Chapter 35. The new NEC is the 2011 edition and the
new NFPA 54 is the 2009 edition.
2012 Legislative Session Begins
The 2012 session of the
Kentucky General Assembly in Frankfort began last week, and AIA members have
already made their presence known in Frankfort. Click here to view the latest
Legislative Report.
Several members active in the
Committee on Architecture for Education joined Legislative Chairman Joe Jones
and Lobbyist Greg Brotzge at a Rally for Education on January 4, joining forces
with education groups advocating adequate funding for education needs of all
kinds.
AIA leaders met January
6 with counterparts at AGC of Kentucky to discuss mutual areas of interest and
identify and advocate for both public and private industry initiatives to
put architects and contractors back to work.
Military Contracting Presentations Available
A sold-out forum on military contracting with the Department of Defense was held December 12, 2011 in Elizabethtown, and the slides of all the presentations at this event have been made available online by the Kentucky Small Business Development Center's Veterans Assistance Program. We understand a follow-up session may be planned for some time early this year, and we will get that information out our members as soon as we receive it.

Important Changes to
Health, Safety and Welfare CE Requirements
Renew Your AIA Membership by January 15
It's time to renew your AIA
membership! AIA Kentucky members should have received an email notification
from the AIA national membership team in mid-October, with links to view
the renewal invoice and make an online payment, if desired. Hard copy invoices
have also been mailed. AIA has established an installment payment plan to help
those who need additional time to pay dues in full. Click here for information.
Note to Firm Principals: Please be sure to
complete the firm
supplemental dues section of the invoice (either on paper or
online) and add the correct amount to your individual dues. AIA Kentucky
bylaws require that one architect principal per firm (including sole
practitioners) must pay $70 per architect, intern architect or technical
employee in the firm, up to a maximum of $1,200. The firm supplemental
dues support our advocacy efforts on behalf of firms and triggers the
firm's inclusion in the AIA Architect Finder online searchable database as well
as the Firm Profile listing in the AIA Kentucky Directory.

Aaron Betsky Lecture Series
This spring semester Aaron
Betsky, Director of the Cincinnati Art Museum, will give a series of six public
lectures titled, "Where We Are Now," that will explore current issues
in contemporary architecture. Betsky describes the series: "The
diversity of what we call architecture today is astonishing. From barely
viable blobs to piles of sticks in the woods, and from instant cities to pop up
stores, architecture encompasses an amazing range of scales, techniques,
degrees of reality, and styles. These lectures will look at the immediate past
as well as the present to survey and make sense of Postmodernism and its
aftermath."
All lectures will take place in Pence 209 starting at 7pm. One AIA LU credit is
available for each lecture. The schedule:
- January 11
- Introduction: Modernism, Postmodernism, Blobism, Reuse: How Did We
Get Here and Where Are We Going
- February 1
- Postmodernism: A Closer look; from Complexity & Contradiction
to Classicism
- February 29 - The Netherlands:
Project Based Working
- March 28 - Rise of the
Machine: Computer and Communication Technologies
- April 11 - The Global
Networks: Building in Sprawl
- April 25 - Hunting
And Gathering: Reuse and Collage
