Date: Tuesday, September 30, 2025
Time: 5:30pm - 8:00pm
Venue: Four Brothers Restaurant, 654 US-6, Mahopac, NY 10541
Cost: $25 AIA | $15 Associate AIA | $35 Non member
CEU: 2 AIA PDH HSW

You're Invited: 2025 Annual Meeting
Please join us for this year’s Annual Meeting! The evening will include Board of Directors voting and an engaging lecture program, offering both insight and inspiration.

EVENT DESCRIPTION: Two Timber Tales
Mass timber construction offers a myriad of benefits, including lower embodied carbon, constructional efficiencies, and lighter assemblies as compared to traditional steel and concrete construction. In addition, mass timber provides visual character and warmth to building interiors, promoting occupant welfare and potentially reducing the number of interior finishes required. How can architects advocate for its use and successfully integrate mass timber into projects? In a presentation led by Principal Kim Yao, FAIA, learn how Architecture Research Office utilized mass timber in two completed projects – Milgard Hall at the University of Washington’s Tacoma campus, and The Frederic Church Center for Art and Landscape at the Olana State Historic Site in Hudson, New York. Each attendee will gain an understanding of varied ways that mass timber can be integrated into their work.
Learning Objectives:
• Incorporate mass timber into varied assemblies within a building.
• Advocate for the use of mass timber based on its embodied carbon benefits.
• Articulate financial advantages for mass timber compared to traditional structural systems.
• Assess different public procurement methods for mass timber projects, including design-build and design-bid-build.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:

Join Teo Quintana, Senior Project Leader at Studio Gang, and Kendra Ekelund, Managing Director of Hudson Valley Shakespeare and Caren Amicone and Chuck Hunter from Consigli Construction, for a hard hat tour of the Samuel H. Scripps Theater Center, which is currently under construction in Garrison, NY. Overlooking the Hudson Highlands, the new theater is designed to enhance functionality and elevate the theatrical experience by bringing architecture and nature together. A curved, timber-framed roof structure extends the performance season and creates a visual dialogue with the surrounding ridgelines, while the stage’s proscenium arch is oriented to frame picturesque views that become a natural backdrop for performances. The design also provides greater versatility for actors, audiences, and back-of-house operations through improved rehearsal, performance, and amenity spaces; expanded accessibility; and technical additions that offer new opportunities for HVS productions. The theater’s mass timber structure and cladding, as well as the revitalization of the surrounding landscape, are among several sustainability features that will help it become the first purpose-built open-air theater to achieve LEED Platinum certification in the United States.  

The tour will be followed by the matinee performance of Hudson Valley Shakespeare’s Octet, a hauntingly original new musical by Dave Malloy about members of an addiction support group searching for human connection in the digital age. Featuring rich harmonies and intricate vocal arrangements, Octet finds compelling human drama in our middle-of-the-night anxieties about the impact of technology on the nature of our relationships.

6:30 – 7:30 PM | Light refreshments and continued conversation, generously provided by Marvin.

Description: 

Join Marica McKeel, AIA, principal of Studio MM for a tour of the firm’s IRIE House project in Ulster County.  Organized along a singular axis that extends from interior to exterior, the house is composed of three distinct volumes. The main house includes an expansive main suite, a sunken living room and a screen porch for summer evenings. A covered walkway stretching along the main axis leads to the art studio, gym and guest suite, and then continues to the carport and garage. Created for a couple that works from home, but who enjoy spending time together, the house is designed with multiple outdoor spaces in which they can come together for morning coffee or an evening cocktail. This session explores how a clear client vision, strong site orientation and thoughtful architectural design can result in a unique and lasting home.

Learning Objectives:
1. Analyze how a linear floor plan with a strong central axis can encourage movement, promote connection and create privacy.
2. Evaluate strategies for maximizing indoor-outdoor relationships through the use of site orientation, glazing, courtyards, and multiple outdoor spaces that have distinct relationships with the site.
3. Understand the importance of designing to client lifestyle and identity—such as incorporating specialized spaces like art studios, home gyms, and functional laundry rooms—in creating personalized and enduring homes.
4. Examine how the use of millwork and other built-in elements can create functionality, privacy, and spatial division and hierarchy, while retaining the spirit of an open plan home.

About the Moderator:

Since founding the Museum of Failure, Samuel West has become the leading expert on helping teams and organizations understand the role of failure for innovation and progress, improve the acceptance of failure, and appreciate the benefits of psychological safety. He educates and inspires with the fascinating stories of the artifacts at the Museum of Failure.

As a licensed clinical psychologist Samuel specialized in cognitive behavioral therapy and treated depression, anxieties, relationship problems etc. He later became obsessed with the psychology of happiness, in particular happiness related to work and the complex relationship between happiness and affluence. Mid-career Samuel decided to take a break from consulting and spend 5 years at Lund University teaching and doing research. He taught courses on positive psychology, creativity, organizational science, and various clinical courses. Samuel’s PhD is in organizational psychology focused on how workplace playfulness boosts innovation. He is an American-Icelandic, and after many years in Sweden, I am now based in Spain.

About the Panel:

Stephen Tilly, AIA, CPHC, LEED AP grew up near Chicago and began learning from mistakes at an early age. After a B.A. in English Literature from Grinnell college in Iowa, he went to M.I.T., where with classmates he lobbied for engaging studies of failures rather than slides from an electron microscope of concrete as a colloid. After hands-on work as a general contractor, he did research, planning and urban design in Boston, Washington and New York and became a partner in Design Coalition, an adventurous design firm that helped pioneer New York's historic Soho district in the 1970s and 1980s. With Elizabeth Martin, Mr. Tilly founded a mission-based studio in Dobbs Ferry focused on environmentally friendly and socially useful projects. He has served on local land use committees and boards and is the Chair of the Advisory Board of the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s Lyndhurst Historic Site. For the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Association for Preservation Technology, he has spoken and written on the essential connection between preservation and sustainability.

Ciro Cuono, PE is the founding Principal of Cuono Engineering PLLC, a growing structural engineering firm located in White Plains and New York City. Ciro has a master’s degree from Columbia University and an undergraduate degree from Manhattan College. In 2012, after working for both the Transit Authority of NYC and a small engineering firm in the SoHo district of NYC, he founded Cuono Engineering. In addition, Ciro was an assistant adjunct professor of structural engineering at the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of architecture at The City College of NY, a board member of his local Architectural Review Board and an adjunct teacher for Manhattan College.

With over 20 years of experience in structural design, Ciro’s experience includes the structural design of small to medium sized new buildings, historic building restoration and large renovations. His expertise includes designing with reinforced concrete, steel, wood, masonry, and aluminum for residential and commercial buildings, museums and cultural buildings, high end residential and multifamily residential, façade restorations, and historic buildings repairs and restorations.


As Principal and Co-Founder, John Fry, AIA, LEED AP guides the Nexus Creative team and clients with his 40+ years of imaginative designs and large-scale master planning. His vast experience ranges multiple market sectors such as commercial, institutional, hospitality, municipal, and residential.

His community and environmentally driven approach blends architecture into the fabric of the people, creating diverse and thoughtful spaces. His projects have won multiple recognitions from design organizations such as the American Institute of Architecture and the U.S. Green Building Council.

John Fry’s people-conscious pursuit has carried, and continues to carry, for the betterment of his profession. His service includes 28 years on the Village of Ossining Planning/ Architectural Review Board and various village committees/task forces, serving on American Planning Associations ‘Plan for Health’ task force, Director/2014 President AIA Westchester/Hudson Valley Chapter, 2019 VP Knowledge Community AIA NYS and currently serves on the Westchester Municipal Planning Federation Board of Directors.

With fifty years of experience in the construction industry as a tradesperson, contractor and consultant, Ken Follett has had many opportunities to fail. Most of his failures are embarrassing on a level of mediocrity that he will hesitate to remind you, or himself. Regardless, all of his failures have provided learning experiences. Ken will talk about the time he painted the multi-story facade in the Cast Iron District of NYC the wrong color.
