October 29, 2020, Los Gatos, CA – DERN Architecture + Development, PC
announced the firm has been awarded the American Institute of Architects
Silicon Valley Interior Architecture Merit Award for Perry Lang’s in
Yountville, California. The AIA Silicon Valley Design Awards program

work of architects and related professionals from afar who contribute to the
framework of the local built environment.

“It was really wonderful to work with Michael and team who understood my
vision and translated into reality,” said Chef Adam Perry Lang. “We had
many challenges as most projects have but we saw through them together
constructively with sensible value engineering that held true to the concept
with the end result kept intact.”

The design team of Theresa Fatino Design and DERN along with Skyline Capital
Builders brought the New American chophouse design to completion for the
Estate Yountville in October 2019. The project celebrates the turn of the
century, from 1890 to early 1910, when the steakhouse was born. The

Teddy Cruz: A Tale of Two Cities (B.Arch 1987). When Vilcek Prizewinner Teddy Cruz first emigrated from Guatemala, he had no idea that San Diego was a border town. He did not speak English, and his relatives had warned him that going downtown would be risky and dangerous. "It took me almost a year to exit this Truman Show," he says. He was surprised to realize that not twenty minutes away from his new home were vibrant immigrant neighborhoods along the U.S.-Mexico border, and, just on the other side of the wall, the city of Tijuana. … When he resumed his studies in the U.S., first at California State Polytechnic University, San Luis Obispo, and then at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, he tried to process the conflict and injustice he had witnessed as a youth. Although he had not been politically active while he was there—"I was too much of a good student"—Teddy sought to understand the ideas that had inspired such struggle, reading widely on Marxism, women’s theory, and other political philosophies.

ARCH Alum published in Architectural Digest! Cal Poly Alumna Michelle (Nelson) Granelli (B. Arch 2008) was published in Architectural Digest for having one of the seven best medical marijuana dispensary designs. Located two miles southwest of San Francisco's financial district, the Apothecarium was designed by the California-based firm Urban Chalet along with architect, Vincent Gonzaga.

Victoria McReynolds' (B.Arch 2004) upcoming project “Light 110”, about measuring light changes across the Americas, has received support from the Center for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art and Texas Tech University College of Architecture. Project field work begins this June in Prince Rupert, Canada and follows the summer south along the Pacific Coast to Ushuaia, Argentina. Below is a project summary. Additional project description, diagrams, and journey itinerary are on the website at www.p-o-r-t.org/light110, and odyssey progress postings on Twitter @LightOdyssey.

"Light 110 is led by the curiosity to see how light changes across 110 degrees latitude difference and how the changing light might reveal new means of understanding place and shaping architecture. Sites for measuring light follow the Pacific Coast Mountain Range, from roughly Prince Rupert, Canada to Ushuaia, Argentina with vertical mountains to the East and horizontal sea to the West. This orientation maintains a geographic consistency with the Pacific Ocean as a platform to stage passing light of the descending sun. Twenty three site lines, spaced every five degrees, evenly divide the latitude length north to south. Both standard equipment and designed instruments are used to measure light. Design instruments take the form of a bowl, rod, and plate which capture, interrupt, and register light changes in the atmosphere. Field documentation will occur through photographs, drawings, measurements, and models. Project outcomes will be in the form of imagery, models, and writing. The project intention is to understand the nuance of natural light patterns across the equator, adapt our design thinking to incorporate these realizations, and develop better tools so architects may intelligently respond to the subtleties of light.

David Diamond (B.Arch 1988; M.S. Arch 1989) will be inducted into the American Institute of Architects’ (AIA) College of Fellows at the 2015 national convention May in Atlanta, Georgia.

Diamond is an Associate Director and Technical Designer in Skidmore, Owings & Merrill’s (SOM). He is recognized as an expert in the integration of building systems and architecture.  During his 20-year career he’s worked with civic, technology, and high security corporate and government clients.  His extensive portfolio includes the Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, California; the United States Embassy in Beijing, China; the United States Consulate General in Guangzhou, China; the San Bernardino Justice Center in San Bernardino, California; and the headquarters for Electronic Arts in Redwood City, California.

Induction into the AIA Fellowship program, established in 1952, is one of the highest honors that the organization can bestow upon a member.  Election to the College of Fellows not only recognizes the achievements of architects as individuals, but also their significant contribution to architecture and society.  Out of the AIA’s total membership of more than 85,000 people, only 3,200 have received the distinction of Fellowship or Honorary Fellowship.

In addition to his professional achievements, Diamond is committed to sharing his knowledge and expertise with future architects. He generously volunteers his time as a mentor and lecturer to current Cal Poly architecture students. Diamond was instrumental in convincing Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) to develop a combined Co-op +Design Program. This program is an intensive 15 week multi-disciplinary design studio course taught at the SOM offices in San Francisco, California. Teams of undergraduate students from Cal Poly, UC Berkeley and California Center for the Arts work directly with SOM designers and structural engineers on the design and advanced building system integration of a large-scale skyscraper project. “David has had an impact on an entire generation of students and graduates,” said Architecture Professor and SOM Program Coordinator and Professor Thomas Fowler. “He is really a unsung hero of the many award winning SOM projects, that have been constructed over the years.”
