The Architects' Small House Service Bureau and the American Institute of Architects

A group of Minnesota architects created the ASHSB in 1914 to provide a solution for theshortage of middle class housing in the U.S. By 1919, the bureau had offices throughout the U.S. and received the endorsement of both the American Institute of Architects and the Department of Commerce. During this time, the members of the Bureau produced hundreds of plan sets and monthly bulletins to assist homeowners with their housing choices. The monthly magazine The Small Home, in conjunction with the published plan books--Your Future Home and How to Plan, Finance, and BuildYour Home--dispensed valuable information to potential homebuyers across the nation. To date, one master's thesis (Lisa Schrenk, University of Virginia 1990) and an article (Thomas Harvey, 1991) have been written about the ASHSB. Neither one discussed the relationship of this group with the AIA, a keyendorsement agency.This research involved extensive archival research at the AIA. Records from the early 20th century were analyzed to determine the relationship between the AIA and the ASHSB in the early 20th century. This relationship provides insight into the current lack of architectural involvement in single-family house design today. The single most prevalent building type in the U.S. is the single-family house, yet architects are little involved in the design of most of them. Architects have the ability and training to create sustainable, affordable, and well-design single-family houses and yet they do not. This paper seeks to provide one explanation through the interpretation of the historic relationship of the AIA to the ASHSB

Young architecture of Spain

Opening speech of the Exhibition under the same title. American Institute of Architects, Washington D.C. September 15, 2011The exhibition “Young Architects of Spain” was inaugurated in Madrid in 2008 with the sponsorship of the Spanish Ministry of Public Works. In 2010 it began its international tour with the support of the AECID, Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation. The exhibition has opened in 18 cities throughout Europe, the U.S. and Canada. Since the selection process Professor Kenneth Frampton, a member of the international jury along with Juhani Pallasmaa, has been involved in this initiative that had the aim to make a new generation of Spanish architects better known, “A Window to the Unknown” as named by exhibition Curator Jesús Aparicio. An extensive catalogue accompanies the exhibition and, in addition to showing the works of these architects, it also contains essays of the jurors. The general lines of Frampton’s essay were publically exposed in the opening of the exhibition at the central headquarters of the American Institute of Architects in Washington DC, in September 2011. These unpublished lines are now transcribed, and published for the first time, in this publication.Peer Reviewe

The architecture of a human rights violation

The American Institute of Architects’ Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct lists the standards that licensed architects in the United States are required to incorporate into their professional practices. It addresses an architect’s obligations to the public, the client, their colleagues, as well as the environment. However, it is Ethical Standard (E.S.) 1.4 that lists perhaps the most far-reaching obligation that a practicing architect should uphold. E.S. 1.4 reads, “Members should uphold human rights in all their professional endeavors.
