ARCH September 2006

On Wednesday, April 26, in the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History's Fleischman Auditorium a large turnout gathered for a guest lecture by Jeremy Harris, a man with many titles. Mr. Harris was brought to Santa Barbara by a diverse group of sponsors. The event was sponsored by Hayward Lumber, Built Green Santa Barbara, Community Environmental Council, Architecture Foundation, American Planning Association, The Sustainability Project and the Marvin Design Gallery as well as the American Institute of Architects, Santa Barbara Chapter.

In his talk he addressed many key political, ecological and design issues facing civilization today. The audience was engaged through the entire presentation as the material was well-presented, thorough, and sobering. The evening ended with many questions from the audience and additional thoughts from our invited speaker. The presentation brought together our Mayor Marty Blum, Councilman Grant House, members of the university (UCSB), ecologists, trades people, manufactures, architects and laypeople. The presentation was well timed with the city’s work on a new master plan and the AIA's ambition to insure that it is carried out in a logical and systematic manner.

Mayor Harris was "discovered" by Joe Andrulaitis and Greg Rech on their winter trip to Washington D.C. for Grass Roots '06. There, they were both impressed with his ideas and presentation at a seminar they attended. Afterward they convinced him to foray to Santa Barbara for an opportunity to enlighten our community.

After reading his credentials it is clear that Mr. Harris has a guiding principal to his work and life and hearing his presentation it is clear that sustainable cities is his guiding principal. More

	In March of this year, I had the honor of representing our local chapter at the first State Board meeting of the AIA California Council of the year. As it took place in Sacramento, it was an opportunity to meet all of the staff of the AIACC as well as fellow board members, both rookies and returning veterans alike. The three-day event began with an orientation for first-time board members, followed by a reception at the AIACC to meet the staff and see their offices. The second day began with a lecture on the current political atmosphere in California, followed by a briefing of issues pertinent to our profession. There was also a presentation concerning subjects to discuss with our respective assembly-persons and senators during our visits later that day. The upcoming bills and issues that we were briefed on were as follows: Upcoming bills
