Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> | <strong>RAIC</strong><br />
President’s <strong>Report</strong><br />
As President for <strong>2011</strong> I am pleased to report on the activities <strong>of</strong> the Board and the <strong>RAIC</strong><br />
during the past year. The role <strong>of</strong> President and Board member was made all the easier<br />
thanks to the hard work <strong>of</strong> our new Executive Director, Jim McKee, and all the other<br />
staff at the Ottawa <strong>of</strong>fice. I would also like to thank my fellow board members, volunteers<br />
and colleagues in allied organizations for their guidance and advice during my year as<br />
President.<br />
This was our first year utilizing the calendar year for terms <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fice rather than the old<br />
system <strong>of</strong> running terms from Festival to Festival. This allows us to have board terms<br />
corresponding to the financial reporting calendar rather than picking it up half way<br />
through.<br />
Priorities the Board tackled in <strong>2011</strong><br />
Working with the provincial regulators on the Broadly Experienced Foreign Architects<br />
Program – a project ongoing throughout <strong>2011</strong> with a goal <strong>of</strong> completing the work<br />
in 2012 – the <strong>RAIC</strong> has been facilitating discussions by regulators by administering<br />
federal government funding for the work, and conducting roundtable meetings. The end<br />
result will be a system that will evaluate experienced foreign trained architects, that<br />
is supported by all the Canadian <strong>Architectural</strong> licensing bodies as an alternative path<br />
to registration in <strong>Canada</strong>. The hard work completed by the BEFA task force has been<br />
outstanding and through the pilot phase a number <strong>of</strong> candidates have already obtained<br />
licences in a number <strong>of</strong> jurisdictions because <strong>of</strong> this work.<br />
The Syllabus Renewal initiative continued throughout the year with clarification as to the<br />
role <strong>of</strong> the pr<strong>of</strong>ession in the alternative system <strong>of</strong> education that we at the <strong>RAIC</strong> have<br />
guided for 40 years. With our partners at Athabasca University handling the academic<br />
distance learning through the <strong>RAIC</strong> Centre for Architecture, we will be overseeing<br />
the <strong>of</strong>fice experience and design studio portions <strong>of</strong> the program, as well as providing<br />
ongoing input to the academic component delivered through the Centre. The last year<br />
has seen our former executive director Jon Hobbs, F<strong>RAIC</strong>, coordinating renewal <strong>of</strong> the<br />
design studio modules and supporting completion <strong>of</strong> a suite <strong>of</strong> technical courses pulled<br />
together by Don Ardiel, F<strong>RAIC</strong>, our hard-working current president David Craddock,<br />
F<strong>RAIC</strong>, keeping all the differing interests focused on the goal <strong>of</strong> renewal, and Jim McKee<br />
and everyone at <strong>RAIC</strong> communicating, organizing, financing and striving to keep this<br />
1 President’s <strong>Report</strong> | <strong>2011</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>
Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> | <strong>RAIC</strong><br />
important initiative moving forward. Special thanks to the Syllabus design coordinator<br />
and mentor community, the examiners, advisory committee members and student<br />
representatives. And not to be forgotten the staff at Syllabus – Registrar Jeanné Fox,<br />
Hon. M<strong>RAIC</strong> and Administrative Assistant September Stokes, must be recognized for<br />
their dedication and commitment to the program’s long history. Without all <strong>of</strong> their hard<br />
work, we wouldn’t have a program to renew.<br />
Both these initiatives have been and will continue to be priorities for the Board.<br />
As these initiatives have moved forward, we started looking at how we can increase<br />
value for our members by making membership in Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> | <strong>RAIC</strong> even more<br />
worthwhile. In this regard, our ongoing presentation <strong>of</strong> case study projects achieving or<br />
exceeding the current energy-efficiency targets <strong>of</strong> the 2030 Challenge, our involvement<br />
in document development through our practice committee and representatives on the<br />
Canadian Construction Documents Committee (CCDC), which resulted in updated and<br />
new contract documents, the advocacy <strong>of</strong> the pr<strong>of</strong>ession at both the national and local<br />
level, and lobbying for architecture and architects, are just a few examples <strong>of</strong> the work<br />
the <strong>RAIC</strong> conducts on a regular basis. We also have been looking at more ways the<br />
<strong>RAIC</strong> can provide and facilitate our members in their pr<strong>of</strong>essional development and<br />
continuing education. We are looking into interesting membership benefits and learning<br />
new ideas from some <strong>of</strong> our colleagues around the world.<br />
Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> | <strong>RAIC</strong> continues to work to get the idea that Architecture<br />
matters to as many people and organizations as possible, to involve students, interns,<br />
practitioners in the pr<strong>of</strong>ession, to partner with our regulatory colleagues to help the<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>ession grow. With the work we are doing, we need the pr<strong>of</strong>ession’s support, and that<br />
support would be stronger if more architects chose to become members <strong>of</strong> Architecture<br />
<strong>Canada</strong> | <strong>RAIC</strong>. So I ask members to talk to their colleagues, keep them informed <strong>of</strong> the<br />
value <strong>of</strong> membership, and encourage them to join. Imagine how much louder our voice<br />
would be if all the Architects in <strong>Canada</strong> were speaking together.<br />
Thank you again for your support, and I wish everyone a successful year.<br />

2 President’s <strong>Report</strong> | <strong>2011</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>
Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> | <strong>RAIC</strong><br />
Executive Director’s<br />
<strong>Report</strong><br />
The year <strong>2011</strong> was eventful for Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> | <strong>RAIC</strong> on several fronts. We<br />
implemented our new model for partnering with provincial associations to present our<br />
annual Festival – and confirmed locations for not only the 2012 Festival in St. John’s,<br />
but also 2013 (Halifax) and 2014 (Winnipeg), as well as initiating planning with senior<br />
leadership <strong>of</strong> the American <strong>Institute</strong> <strong>of</strong> Architects to present our Festival at the time <strong>of</strong><br />
the AIA Convention planned for Toronto in 2017. In addition, we pursued discussions<br />
through <strong>2011</strong> that culminated in the decision to partner with Interior Designers <strong>Canada</strong><br />
(IDC) and IIDEX to incorporate a dedicated Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> Expo as part <strong>of</strong> the<br />
largest national design showcase in the country – IIDEX NeoCon.<br />
In <strong>2011</strong>, we completed the transition to a new member services portal based on opensource<br />
technologies (Drupal and CiviCRM); it has not been without its challenges but<br />
going forward this platform <strong>of</strong>fers capabilities to provide more extensive and tailored<br />
services to our members. While the Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> | <strong>RAIC</strong> membership trendline<br />
has been upward for the past decade – by December 31 we had more than 4,500<br />
members, compared with 2,500 in 2001. In <strong>2011</strong>, the <strong>RAIC</strong> Board decided the time was<br />
right to retain an external consultant to carry out an audit <strong>of</strong> our member service <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
and recommend refinements with a view to consolidating and building on that growth.<br />
<strong>RAIC</strong>’s advocacy work remained central to its activities in <strong>2011</strong>. This included taking part<br />
in regular discussions on federal procurement discussions as part <strong>of</strong> the Federal/Industry<br />
Real Property Advisory Council (FIRPAC), as well as providing input to a Public Works<br />
and Government Services <strong>Canada</strong> (PWGSC) consultation with respect to its Alternative<br />
Forms <strong>of</strong> Delivery model for property management services for a vast inventory <strong>of</strong><br />
federally owned buildings across the country.<br />
In <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>RAIC</strong>’s most visible public advocacy initiative was its launch <strong>of</strong> the fundraising<br />
campaign in support <strong>of</strong> <strong>Canada</strong>’s representative at the 2012 Venice Biennale for<br />
Architecture. The Venice Biennale is <strong>of</strong>ten referred to as the ‘Olympics <strong>of</strong> Architecture’ –<br />
it is the most important international architectural competition in the world, one in which<br />
more than 50 countries are represented and attended by more than 170,000 visitors –<br />
including more than 5,000 journalists during the three-day vernissage that kicks <strong>of</strong>f the<br />
Biennale. <strong>Canada</strong>’s 2012 representative, Migrating Landscapes, conceived and curated<br />
by three young architects and designers based in Winnipeg – Johanna Hurme, M<strong>RAIC</strong>,<br />
Sasa Radulovic, M<strong>RAIC</strong>, and Jae-Sung Chon is uniquely Canadian in its exploration <strong>of</strong><br />

themes <strong>of</strong> cultural memory, landscape, and adaptation. It has been warmly embraced by<br />
the pr<strong>of</strong>ession as an opportunity to showcase the new generation <strong>of</strong> Canadian architects<br />
on the international stage.<br />
Practice Support remains a pillar <strong>of</strong> <strong>RAIC</strong>’s program. In <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>RAIC</strong> was an active<br />
founding member <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Institute</strong> for BIM in <strong>Canada</strong> (IBC), which in just one short year<br />
<strong>of</strong> existence has produced an environmental scan <strong>of</strong> BIM-related technologies currently<br />
in use, a survey providing a snapshot <strong>of</strong> the state <strong>of</strong> BIM implementation in <strong>Canada</strong>,<br />
and acquired the status <strong>of</strong> Canadian Chapter <strong>of</strong> Building Smart International, ensuring<br />
<strong>Canada</strong> will have a voice in the creation <strong>of</strong> international standards for the development<br />
<strong>of</strong> BIM. Also in <strong>2011</strong>, after several years’ hard work our representatives on the Canadian<br />
Construction Documents Committee – CCDC – helped move to completion updated<br />
versions <strong>of</strong> the Design-Build suite <strong>of</strong> documents (CCDC 14 and 15) – these were<br />
released for final endorsement by constituent members <strong>of</strong> the Construction Industry<br />
Consultative Committee (CICC) in early 2012.<br />
Finally, Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> | <strong>RAIC</strong> continued to work to raise awareness <strong>of</strong> the<br />
importance <strong>of</strong> integrating sustainable design approaches into the built environment. At<br />
the <strong>2011</strong> Festival in Vancouver, Architecture 2030 founder Ed Mazria, Hon. F<strong>RAIC</strong>,<br />
provided an inspiring update on the developments associated with this initiative – and <strong>of</strong><br />
the potential beneficial impact if the challenge is realized on a broad scale across North<br />
America and the world. In <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>RAIC</strong> began publishing the first in an initial series <strong>of</strong><br />
case studies <strong>of</strong> completed projects that meet or exceed – based on actual operational<br />
performance data – current targets <strong>of</strong> the 2030 Challenge. <strong>RAIC</strong>’s 2030 Challenge<br />
Advisor was also able to make presentations to several audiences – including federal<br />
procurement decision-makers during the year. And with a view to reaching a broader<br />
audience <strong>of</strong> public and private clients, we devoted <strong>RAIC</strong>’s Architecture magazine to<br />
showcasing the achievements <strong>of</strong> the 2030 case study projects as well.<br />
It is all in an effort to highlight the pr<strong>of</strong>ession, to allied communities and to society at<br />
large, that Architecture matters… today and, most certainly, as it impacts the future.<br />

<strong>RAIC</strong> Gold Medal<br />
The <strong>RAIC</strong> Gold Medal is awarded in recognition <strong>of</strong> significant contribution to Canadian<br />
architecture, and is the highest honour the pr<strong>of</strong>ession <strong>of</strong> architecture in <strong>Canada</strong> can<br />
bestow. It recognizes an individual whose personal work has demonstrated exceptional<br />
excellence in the design and practice <strong>of</strong> architecture; and/or, whose work related to<br />
architecture, has demonstrated exceptional excellence in research or education.<br />
Bing Thom, F<strong>RAIC</strong>, was the recipient <strong>of</strong> the <strong>2011</strong> Gold Medal. In bestowing the award,<br />
the Gold Medal Selection Committee noted:<br />
“The work <strong>of</strong> few practitioners fulfills the spirit and intent <strong>of</strong> the <strong>RAIC</strong> Gold Medal as Bing<br />
Thom’s does. It is generally understood that the Gold Medal should recognize and honour a<br />
life’s work: Work that is noteworthy, instructive, influential, and at its best extra-ordinary.<br />
Mr. Thom’s work addresses all <strong>of</strong> these interests.<br />
At the level <strong>of</strong> craft it is consistently pushing the boundaries <strong>of</strong> technique and use <strong>of</strong><br />
materials, generating a recurrent sense <strong>of</strong> substance and quality. Truly noteworthy work<br />
in architecture must take us to a place beyond this, a place that is visceral, difficult to<br />
define, yet obvious in its presence. Bing Thom’s work does this. It is good, and fulfilling<br />
to experience. It can be inspirational. It leaves one with worthwhile memories. It has long<br />
been worth honouring.”<br />

Award. In bestowing the award, the Selection Committee noted:<br />
Ontario Mission <strong>of</strong> the Deaf<br />
Tom Arban<br />
“The folio put forward by Montgomery Sisam Architects described a practice that<br />
demonstrated cumulative decades <strong>of</strong> depth, breadth, and richness in an architectural<br />
practice. Their tendency to focus on work <strong>of</strong> social significance, their maintained support<br />
for education and development <strong>of</strong> their employees over a long period <strong>of</strong> time, and their<br />
consistent involvement <strong>of</strong> both staff and principals in community and pr<strong>of</strong>essional affairs<br />
describes a practice with a vision, purpose, and ethic. The resulting work recurrently<br />
evidenced achievements that are competent, thoughtful, <strong>of</strong>ten delightful, and in many<br />
cases addressing programs that were complex and technically challenging.”<br />

Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> | <strong>RAIC</strong><br />
The <strong>RAIC</strong> Federal Government Procurement Council engages most Federal Government<br />
departments that engage architectural services. This year’s meetings focused on AFD –<br />
Alternate Forms <strong>of</strong> Delivery; Multiple Submissions by Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Service Contractors;<br />
Bidding Next Phase – by Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Service Contractors and included ongoing<br />
discussions on Government requirements for bilingual documents; streamlining Industrial<br />
Security; the Claims Process and Resolution; and the Re-use <strong>of</strong> Design Documents.<br />
During the year <strong>RAIC</strong> representatives – Peter J. Kindree, F<strong>RAIC</strong>, Deborah Farrow,<br />
M<strong>RAIC</strong>, and Gerrie Doyle, M<strong>RAIC</strong>, participated in a national consultation by Public<br />
Works and Government Services <strong>Canada</strong> concerning its Alternative Forms <strong>of</strong> Delivery<br />
contracting framework. The group also provided a written response on how its Real<br />
Property-1 program is administered and addressed a number <strong>of</strong> issues relating to how<br />
architectural services are contracted under the current RP1 framework.<br />
As a result <strong>of</strong> <strong>RAIC</strong>’s participation in FIRPAC, subsequent meetings with Defence<br />
Construction <strong>Canada</strong> as well as SNC Lavalin O & M were arranged to discuss<br />
procurement and contract issues in greater detail. Progress and understanding with<br />
each <strong>of</strong> these client organizations is an ongoing process.<br />
2030 Challenge<br />
As part <strong>of</strong> Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> | <strong>RAIC</strong>’s commitment to the 2030 Challenge a website<br />
was created highlighting the best energy-efficient commercial buildings that have been<br />
constructed in <strong>Canada</strong>. Each month new projects were added and featured in the<br />
Bulletin.<br />
The 2030 Challenge calls for design activities that will significantly reduce the<br />
greenhouse gas emissions <strong>of</strong> new and renovated Canadian buildings, and the Case<br />
Studies website highlights the information and technology that supports the Challenge.<br />

educating clients and owners about the important role architects and architectural design<br />
and quality plays in their sector – ensuring the message is heard that Architecture<br />
matters …<br />

Every Building has an Architect<br />
T-shirts continue to be available to members and members are encouraged to let<br />
everyone know Architecture matters …<br />
Early in the year Melissa McAlister, M<strong>RAIC</strong>, noticed an<br />
article in the Thunder Bay Chronicle Journal criticizing<br />
a selection <strong>of</strong> buildings from an artistic perspective,<br />
and failing to credit the architects who designed the<br />
buildings featured. Her letter resulted in a printed<br />
correction and helped the spread <strong>of</strong> the crucial message<br />
that Every Building has an Architect.<br />
Efforts like these by <strong>RAIC</strong> members at the local level<br />
are critical to advancing the Every Building Has an Architect Campaign.<br />
Membership<br />
As <strong>of</strong> December 31, <strong>2011</strong>, Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> | <strong>RAIC</strong> had 4,540 members. In <strong>2011</strong>,<br />

<strong>2011</strong> Membership Directory<br />
For the seventh year, Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> published an annual<br />
membership directory through an arrangement with Naylor<br />
publications. This agreement allows the Naylor sales team<br />
to promote Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> and enables all costs to be<br />
recovered. In return, Architecture <strong>Canada</strong> members receive a<br />
printed annual directory.<br />
External Relations<br />
National Affairs<br />
In <strong>2011</strong> <strong>RAIC</strong> continued to maintain close working relationships with its colleagues<br />
the provincial/territorial regulators and the Canadian <strong>Architectural</strong> Certification Board<br />
(CACB). Regular Roundtables with the provincial and territorial regulators continued to<br />
discuss issues <strong>of</strong> common concern and to explore possibilities for joint action.<br />
In <strong>2011</strong>, the principal initiative on the National Affairs agenda was <strong>RAIC</strong>’s role as<br />
financial administrator for $1.6 million in federal funding provided by Human Resources<br />
and Skills Development <strong>Canada</strong> to develop and implement a framework for assessing<br />
the competencies <strong>of</strong> Broadly Experienced Foreign Architects (BEFA). By shifting the<br />
assessment to focus principally on competencies, the objective is to provide BEFA<br />
candidates with a path to practice while ensuring Canadian standards are upheld.<br />
Program development continued throughout <strong>2011</strong>, with the objective <strong>of</strong> the program<br />
being launched and delivered through the CACB in the final quarter <strong>of</strong> calendar 2012.<br />
International Affairs<br />
In <strong>2011</strong>, <strong>RAIC</strong> was represented at the annual Convention <strong>of</strong> the American <strong>Institute</strong><br />

that included Past President Randy Dhar, PP/F<strong>RAIC</strong>, Second Vice President Paul<br />

internship programs in developing countries, but the<br />
Congresses also serve as occasions to elect the UIA’s<br />
Bureau and Council, as well as select the cities that<br />
will host future Congresses. <strong>Canada</strong>’s Randy Dhar, PP/<br />
F<strong>RAIC</strong> was acclaimed to the UIA Council as one <strong>of</strong> the<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>ession’s representatives from Region III (Americas),<br />

Venice Biennale in Architecture<br />
The Venice Biennale in Architecture is the single most important and prestigious<br />
international event in contemporary architecture; it is to architecture what the Olympics<br />
are to sports. From late August 2012 to November 2012, more than 50 countries are<br />
expected to bring their architectural finest to Venice to compete with each other for the<br />
coveted Golden Lion Award for best national exhibition.<br />
Building on the success <strong>of</strong> <strong>Canada</strong> as a serious<br />
contender after attracting global attention in 2010 with<br />
“Hylozoic Ground”, Migrating Landscapes by 5468796<br />
Architecture and Jae-Sung Chon was chosen as<br />
<strong>Canada</strong>’s <strong>of</strong>ficial entry at the 2012 Venice Biennale in Architecture.<br />
Migrating Landscapes examines how Canadians express their diverse cultural memories<br />
in designs for contemporary housing. To do this, its young organizers, all born outside<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Canada</strong>, will design a ‘new landscape’ as an exhibition infrastructure and invite<br />
other young Canadian architects and designers to respond to it with designs for<br />
housing based on their cultural memories. These designs will be ‘settled’ into the ‘new<br />
landscape’, and together form the exhibition at the <strong>Canada</strong> Pavilion in Venice.<br />
