Meet Tim Nystrom | Member Spotlight
Tim has been practicing residential and commercial architecture in the Bay Area since 2008 and then became licensed in 2012. He not only designs homes, he designs a neighborhood experience. His inviting, aesthetically diverse architecture is art. He chose architecture because he has always had a passion for practical art, saying, “I went to an art high school, so painting and sculpting are something that I’ve always done. I still paint and sculpt. I’ve always loved that, and many architects have that path in terms of the balance of art and math and physics, so I would say that’s part of my journey.”

New Code by Kerwin Lee, AIA
Every 3 years the state of California adopts and applies a new edition of the building code. This cycle is based on the writing and publication of the Model Codes that the States based their codes on. This would be, for the most part, the International Codes, written by the International Code Council or ICC. This cycle of 3-years goes back before there was an ICC and the United States had four Model codes being used: the Uniform Codes written by International Congress of Building Officials (ICBO), the National codes written by the Building Official Code Administrators (BOCA) and the Standard Codes written by the Southern Code Congress International (SBCCI).

AIA CA: Interior Design Task Force Survey
The AIA California Board of Directors is reviewing AIA CA’s position regarding the professional status of Interior Designers as defined by State law. Until recently, both the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) opposed the enactment of Interior Design Practice Acts in any state. NCARB, however, allowed its policy to expire meaning that NCARB now is neutral on whether states should enact an Interior Design Practice Act and license Interior Designers. New AIA National Policy no longer expresses universal opposition to the enactment of an Interior Design Practice Act: the new policy allows AIA state components to decide their own positions.

Bay Area Computational/Virtual Architecture Critique Group
Delta_Ark Studios (Ari Kalinowski) is running a critique group for computational, virtual and robotic architecture. If you're interested in grasshopper, architecture for game worlds or VR, complex systems and/or robotics, please take a look at their meetup page and apply! They are trying to keep the group small and relatively intimate. They'll start online, and then slowly move to in-person; so, it's preferable if you're within a stone's throw of Oakland. Their first critique is Monday March 28th, but they will be meeting weekly or every two weeks after that.
