The Dallas Architecture Forum is pleased to continue its 20th Anniversary 2016-2017 Lecture Season with outstanding architect Jonathan Segal, Founder and Principal of Jonathan Segal Architecture and Development. Jonathan Segal, FAIA, is an award-winning architect and contractor who has created and modeled the unique practice of “Architect as Developer” for over two decades.
As a Trailblazer in the field, his innovative single-family live/work residences and medium to high-density mixed-use housing, primarily found in San Diego and other communities in southern California, have received numerous national awards. Segal has also focused on conceptualizing and constructing well-designed affordable housing for residents of San Diego that has received honors from architecture and construction organizations.

JONATHAN SEGAL FOUNDER and PRINCIPAL JONATHAN SEGAL ARCHITECTURE and DEVELOPMENT SAN DIEGO
9 March 2017 Thursday, 7:00 pm Reception and check-in from 6:15 — 6:55 pm Magnolia Theatre in the West Village
Jonathan Segal, FAIA, redefines the role of the traditional architect by exclusively eliminating the client and developing, constructing and designing his own work. Since 1988 he has designed, developed, and constructed over 300 national award-winning and trendsetting single-family and medium- to high-density residential, live/work units and mixed-use housing totaling over 300,000 square feet in downtown San Diego and La Jolla, California. Jonathan Segal is considered one of downtown San Diego’s most successful and pioneering residential architectural/development companies and has a reputation for providing superior housing at a lower cost than comparable properties. Their focus is exclusively on urban projects, ranging from 80 to 160 dwelling units per acre.
Throughout his career, Jonathan has been as devoted to the interests of Downtown San Diego as he is to the creativity of his architecture. Staunchly opposed to insensitive development, Jonathan is adamant about preserving historic and important architecture while sensitively integrating new development. This passion for architecture and downtown has not gone unnoticed. He has received over 40 national, state, and local design awards, and several of those underscore that his standout talents have come at an early age: he has won six National American Institute of Architecture Housing Honors (AIA) and four State of California AIA Honor Awards for Urban Housing, more than any San Diego architect; he was named by the San Diego Union Tribune as one of “Four Architects” in the city’s history that have made a difference; in 2003 he was named to the AIA’s College of Fellows, FAIA – the youngest San Diego architect to be named to this prestigious fraternity; Segal was honored as Residential Architect Magazine’s 2004 National Rising Star; and “The Prospect” was selected as one of Dwell Magazines top 100 homes ever published. In January, 2011 Residential Architect Magazine named him as one of the top 50 architects in the nation.
Jonathan’s interests in thoughtful architecture and development extend beyond his own projects. He shares his ideas frequently as an AIA speaker and has lectured at thirty US Universities, at the University of Cataluña in Barcelona, Spain and at numerous AIA chapters preaching “Architect As Developer” nationwide. Most recently, Segal has been included as a founding member of the National AIA Congress of Residential Architecture (CORA), and along with Ted Smith founded the Woodbury Institute of Architecture for the Masters in Architectural Development (MRED). In 2007, Jonathan presented his first “Architect as Developer” seminar to over 700 architects in Los Angeles and in the fall of 2008 he presented to over 600 architects in Washington DC.

Smith Consulting Architects Completes New Industrial Complex at Bressi Ranch in Carlsbad
Design of the two-building, 114,522 SF center blends with surrounding residential community while providing move-in ready warehouse and office space
SAN DIEGO – (March 8, 2017) – Smith Consulting Architects, a San Diego-based architectural firm, has completed the design, entitlements, construction documents and construction administration for the new Shea Center Carlsbad, a 114,522-square-foot, Class-A industrial complex located at 6131-6133 Innovation Way, Carlsbad, Calif., within the exclusive master-planned community of Bressi Ranch.
Smith Consulting Architects performed the project on behalf of Shea Properties, with Shea’s Development Manager Steve Perales providing oversight.
Situated on an 8.27-acre lot, the new industrial facility encompasses two identical 57,261-square-foot buildings. Each offers a high-bay warehouse comprising approximately 51,372 square feet of space, together with two-story move-in-ready office space. Each building features four loading docks, three grade-level doors, 30-foot clear-height, ESFR sprinkler systems, 40-foot by 60-foot column spacing, and a 2.9/1,000-square-foot parking ratio.
Primary design goals were to maximize the floor area, and create an exterior design that is compatible with the upscale residential neighborhood across the street. To achieve these goals, Smith Consulting Architects created visual interest with detailed entries and floor-to-ceiling glass to mitigate the project’s height. In addition, all loading areas are hidden from public view.
Numerous cost-saving measures were also employed to deliver maximum design impact while meeting the $7.8 million project budget. These included the use of tilt-up concrete frames, in lieu of conventional steel framing, to support the office curtain wall framing.
Pete Bussett, AIA served as project executive for Smith Consulting Architects, with Gary Baker as project designer and Rick Cotton, AIA as project architect. Katie Hale was the interior designer.
Project consultants included HTK Structural Engineering, Excel Engineering as civil engineer, MPE Consulting as electrical engineer, McParlane & Associates as mechanical engineer and Ridge Landscape Architects. TFW Construction was the general contractor.
To date, 32,227 square feet of space has been leased in one of the two buildings. Voit Commercial brokers Chuck and Erik McNary are handling leasing for Shea Center Carlsbad.

NCARB last year initiated a 14-institution, national pilot program to test the feasibility of offering an accelerated path to architecture licensing for qualified student-candidates. Two post-secondary, degree granting architecture schools in SoCal are participating - San Diego's NewSchool of Architecture and Design and Woodbury University (both here in San Diego and in Los Angeles). Critical to the success of the pilot is the ability of these schools to place IPAL participants in working practices - as either interns or "shadowers" - to fulfill the Architecture Experience Programs (AXP) requirements. To learn more, please visit www.ncarb.org/IPAL . If you firm is interested in taking on either (or both) an IPAL intern or shadower, please connect with the Chapter offices for details about the suitable contacts at each school.

Cavignac & Associates Celebrates 25 Years of Managing Risk
SAN DIEGO, CA -- (February 8, 2017) – Cavignac & Associates, a downtown San Diego-based risk management and insurance brokerage firm, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this month, announced Jeffrey Cavignac, CPCU, ARM, RPLU, company president and principal.
A reputation for professional excellence and providing specific risk management services that are not customarily offered by its competitors has allowed the firm to maintain a strong standing within the insurance industry over past years, while laying solid groundwork for the future. Its guiding mission is to be a service-intensive, risk management-oriented insurance brokerage that puts its clients’ interests before its own.
Led by six principals, each of whom lends a specific area of industry expertise, Cavignac & Associates has been on a steady course of carefully mapped and managed growth, which has allowed the company to continually expand its range of insurance brokerage services. Veteran leaders include Jeffrey W. Cavignac, CPCU, ARM, RPLU, CRIS, MLIS; James P. Schabarum II, CPCU, AFSB; Scott A. Bedingfield, AAI, CIC, CRIS; Patrick Casinelli, RHU, REBC, CHRS; Matthew Slakoff, CIC, CRIS; and Matthew Noonan, RHU, CIC, CHRS, CCWS.
Together, their experience allows the firm to provide commercial insurance, risk control, construction surety bonds, employee benefits and personal lines. Its client base comprises design and construction firms, real estate-related entities, manufacturing companies, nonprofit organizations and the general business community.
“It made good sense for us to augment our commercial insurance services with a full spectrum of insurance offerings so clients could obtain all their insurance coverage from a single source,” said Cavignac. “More, it’s allowed us to take a holistic approach to lowering clients’ overall cost of risk. That is the concept behind our program we’ve branded the ‘TotalRISK Approach,” which involves four steps: Risk Analysis, Risk Control, Risk Finance, and Risk Governance.”
Cavignac & Associates officially was founded on February 11, 1992 – the day Cavignac walked out the door of the insurance firm he was working for at the time. Initially it was a one-man shop with no staff and no clients. But what Cavignac did have was a mission statement and a business plan.
The first year had its share of challenges. The economy in San Diego was weak and getting weaker, and the insurance market was spiraling downward. These factors, combined with the normal learning curve associated with a start-up business, made for an interesting first year.
Nevertheless, the fledgling agency was able to get moving in the right direction thanks to some quality insurance company appointments, including Chubb, Continental, Safeco, Aetna, Industrial Indemnity and Zenith. In addition, DPIC Companies (now known as XLCaitlin) switched its exclusive agency appointment in San Diego and Imperial counties to Cavignac & Associates. Most important, a number of previous clients, as well as new clients, elected to place their coverage with the firm.
In 1996, Jim Schabarum and Scott Bedingfield joined the firm. Schabarum’s background in surety and Bedingfield’s background in real estate were natural additions to the firm’s existing commercial insurance expertise. In January of 2000, both Schabarum and Bedingfield became principals and shareholders of the agency.
Around the same time, the company underwent a major change, evolving from an insurance brokerage firm to a risk management company. The principals realized that the only way to drive down clients’ costs of risk was to reduce the frequency and severity of the claims that drive those costs. With that in mind, it invested in a safety professional, a human resources consultant and a workers’ compensation specialist. The focus of these three individuals was to work with the agency’s clients to prevent claims from occurring in the first place, and effectively manage the claims that did occur.
In the fourth quarter of 2002, the firm recruited Patrick Casinelli to open its Employee Benefits Department. In 2007, Casinelli became a partner. Later, in 2013, Matt Slakoff was promoted to partner and, in early 2016, Matt Noonan was promoted to partner as well.
“An important part of our original company mission statement was that we will always hire above-average people who are service-oriented, education-minded, and willing to make a commitment to the company’s objectives,” said Cavignac. “To do this, we knew we needed to keep employees challenged and engaged by providing an exceptional work environment that makes their jobs both rewarding and fun.”
In various “Best Places to Work” competitions, Cavignac & Associates consistently has been scored high by employees, based on its desirable social environment and staff camaraderie. Picnics, baby showers, holiday gatherings, group tickets to Padres baseball games, company softball games, sushi-making classes, hosted happy hours, beer and wine tastings, weekly catered lunches and more is what has helped the firm recruit and retain exceptional employees.
“Insurance might be viewed as a rather dry and tedious job,” said Cavignac. “But we don’t allow the work environment here to become stale or boring. We’re dedicated to being the best we can be, and continually seek ways to improve our productivity, technical expertise, and the services we deliver to clients.”
As for the next 25 years, the company is well prepared to expand in new directions in order to serve its clients better, and to provide even more growth opportunities for its employees.

OTAY BORDER CROSSING - REHAB WINNER
Cream polished concrete with 1/8-inch zinc strips at the world's first true binational airport passenger terminal.
The Otay Border Crossing, located roughly between the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa ports of entry, is a one of a kind pedestrian bridge that allows travelers to walk across the U.S. – Mexico border directly into the main terminal of the Tijuana International airport. This allows travelers to park on the U.S. side and bypass the traditional border entries which usually takes two to four hours to cross.
T.B. Penick collaborated with the owner, architect, and general contractor to polish the 48,300 square feet of integrally colored concrete to a cream/sand finish and to also perform architectural sawcuts throughout the project in order to epoxy set 3,300 lineal feet of 1/8-inch zinc terrazzo strips.
One challenge was achieving a consistent finish since the first floor was poured slab-on-grade and the second floor was poured on a pan deck. Another challenge was addressing all of the shrinkage cracks. To do this, T.B. Penick utilized a colored epoxy system to fill in the cracks. This was challenging due to the variations in color which required custom colors to be made onsite to allow the repaired cracks to blend in with the finished surface.
Finally, the project required coordinating with U.S. Customs and Border Protection due to the high security aspect of the location on one of the most heavily fortified spots on the border. It also required collaboration with the contractor working on Mexico’s side of the facility in order to help them achieve the required finish.
Congratulations to AIA San Diego member, Bill Bocken, AIA! The renovation on his home won him a coveted spot in this year's San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyle Magazines 38th Annual Home of the Year February issue.
From the architect: "The home was originally built in 1935 by architect, Frank Hope, Sr. (he is considered a master architect by the City of San Diego Historical Resource board). The 8500 sq. ft structure recently underwent an extensive whole house renovation and remodel. We were also successful in having the home historically designated."
