Now: Architecture exec
Then: Architecture intern
Current position: Principal, Group Design Leader, Mulvanny G2 Architecture, Bellevue
First job: Architectural internship during the summer of 1983
The lead design principal of the firm was excruciatingly hardnosed and demanding. On good days he would refer to me as 'good cheap help' and would talk at length about art, architecture and the profession.
However, what I remember most are his parting words to me, on my last day, when saying goodbye. He called me into his office and said: 'Sit down Gregory. You're never going to make it and I'm going to tell you why. You're female, you're sensitive and you're too damn short! So get out now while the going is good.'
Surprisingly, the words he uttered that day didn't hurt me or faze me in the least. I left the office smiling, convinced I would prove him wrong one day.
What I learned: The true meaning of perseverance and determination despite the 'old school' stereotypical belief that women are not suited for the architectural profession. In many ways, I am grateful for this early experience of discrimination, because it has propelled me to work harder and smarter to stay in the game." (6/06)

In Memory

Steven N. Arai AIA
d. 12/27/06
We learned from his family and from partners at Arai Jackson Ellison Murakami of Steve's passing, surrounded by his loving family, following hospitalization with pneumonia on Christmas eve. Several had the good fortune of greeting Steve in November, when as AIA Seattle President 2001-02 he took part in a special gathering. AIA Seattle invites friends and colleagues to offer their reflections on the life and work of this remarkable architect.

Mel Streeter AIA
3/5/1931 - 6/12/2006.
The AIA Seattle Diversity Roundtable welcomed all to join in a circle of remembrance in honor of Mel Streeter and his heritage in our community, on Thursday June 22, 5-7pm at AIA Seattle, as part of the Summer Solstice Sequence. On August 12, his family, friends, and colleagues gathered at Mount Zion Baptist Church to celebrate Mel's life.

We learned with sorrow of the death at age 75 of Mel Streeter AIA (BArch U of Oregon 1954), recipient of the AIA Seattle 2004 Community Service Award, for which the citation reads:
"Over several decades, Mel Streeter brought to prominence the Northwest's largest African-American-owned architecture firm. His courageous vision, unswerving commitment, and remarkable energy have made Streeter & Associates Architects a center for mentoring K-12 youth, architecture students, and emerging professionals from minority and disadvantaged backgrounds. Many young people credit Mel with helping them to overcome obstacles that continue to challenge ethnic minorities in entering the design professions. For many of them, Mel's presence and active participation in community activities puts a face on the achievement of architects of color.
"As a Founding Member of the AIA Seattle Diversity Roundtable, Mel Streeter shared his idealism and commitments with colleagues to help develop inspiring and effective programs to engage youth and emerging professionals in the possibilities of design and community-building."
Reference: Jerry Large in The Seattle Times 4/11/96: 'Breaking Barriers, Building Hope: He long ago proved he could succeed as a Black architect; now Seattle's Mel Streeter is helping others to do the same."
Reference: Athima Chansanchai in the Seattle P-I 6/13/05: "Mel Streeter 1931-2006: Mentor paved paths for future architects of color"
Reference: Lisa O'Neill Hill in Inland Southern California 6/15/06: "Mel Streeter dies; overcame barriers. PIONEER: The Riverside native made a name in sports at Poly High and in architecture in Seattle"
Reference: Sam Bennett in Seattle DJC 6/15/06: "Architect, 'life mentor' Mel Streeter dead at 75"

His colleagues remember Mel Streeter:
• Rick Sundberg FAIA: "This is the cause of great sadness."
• Leon Bridges FAIA, FNOMA: "Mel and I were good friends, and I fondly recall the precious few times we met while I lived in Seattle. We spoke to each other about architecture, in general, the problems peculiar to Black architects, architectural design, and the resounding successes of his Brother-in-Law, DeNorval Unthank, FAIA.
"Mel often challenged me to a game of tennis, but I begged off because I didn't want to be embarrassed by an 0-6 showing. He sent me a congratulatory note upon my election in 1886 as a National AIA Vice President, and later, as the 1992 winner of the Whitney M. Young, Jr. Medal. A few years, ago, my wife Eloise and I were pleased that we were able to host one of his Sons for an evening in Baltimore.
"It's been over thirty years since Mel and I visited each other in person, but the memory of him will never be lost. I will miss him."
· Bert Gregory AIA: "A caring, gentle, thoughtful colleague, with a smile and laugh that would warm the soul. A hero to all architects. We will miss him dearly."
· Keli Hagen: "I loved the way Mel acknowledged your presence and gave you encouragement, his large arms and smile will be very much missed by me and many others!"
· Steve Arai AIA: "I'm deeply saddened by Mel's passing. Our professional and public community have lost a talented architect and special person who was not only committed to creating a more humane environment through the design efforts of his firm, but through his commitment to diversity and multiculturalism well before social pressures began to highlight this long-latent problem.
"Mel was a close personal friend and life-mentor whom I will truly miss. My sincerest sympathies to his family, particularly his wife Kathy and sons Doug, Jon, Ken, and Kurt."
· Donald I. King FAIA: "Few of us can grasp the depth of Mel Streeter's tenacity, commitment and the tremendous will it took for him to achieve and succeed as an African American architect in his time and in this place.
"Mel was my competitor; he was also a mentor, partner and friend. I will miss him greatly in all the roles he played in my life."
· Seattle City Council Proclamation honoring the Life of Mel Streeter, AIA:
WHEREAS, Mel Streeter AIA, easy-going and beloved of many, was a trail-blazing architect, starting the first black-owned firm in Seattle in 1967; and
WHEREAS, Mel's courageous vision, unswerving commitment, and remarkabe energy have made Streeter & Associates Architects for four decades a center for talented and aspiring young architects, particularly from disadvantaged backgrounds; and
WHEREAS, Mel brought to prominence the Northwest's largest African-American-owned architecture firm, known for such signature buildings as Auburn City Hall and the Federal Aviation Administration regional headquarters at Boeing Field; and
WHEREAS, Mel is widely created for breaking barriers and building hope, and for having helped many young people to overcome obstacles that continue to challenge ethnic minorities entering the design professions; and
WHEREAS, A passionate tennis player, Mel designed the soon-to-be-built Sand Point Tennis Center at Magnuson Park and was an enthusiastic coach and mentor for countless youth in sports; and
WHEREAS, Mel Streeter, surrounded by family, passed away on June 12, 2006 at age 75;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED BY THE SEATTLE CITY COUNCIL,
That Mel Streeter AIA is remembered for his courage in defying expectations and working to create a pathway for future generations of architects. As the Honorable Norman B. Rice said, "Mel has left a legacy of his creative genius that we can hold in tribute."

Roland Terry FAIA
6/2/1917 - 6/8/2006
We learned of the death of AIA Seattle 1991 Medallist Roland Terry FAIA, widely recognized for his notable contributions to the design ethos that has come to identify the Northwest.
In an article about his last home that appeared in The Seattle Times 6/11/06 ("Reflections of a NW architect"), Lucy Mohl describes Roland Terry as "an icon of a style associated with this region, and a leading force - along with Paul Hayden Kirk, Ralph Anderson, Wendell Lovett, Victor Steinbrueck and Fred Bassetti - behind the rise of modernist buildings in the postwar period and through the middle of the 20th century."
His colleagues remember Roland Terry:
· Jerry Gropp AIA: "Roland did some wonderfully sophisticated & uncommonly subtle designs."
· Andrew R. Goulding AIA, SEGD: "I delivered blueprints as a boy, when my father owned Olympic Blueprint Company. Mid-fifties? I remember being awed by the grand foyer of Roland Terry's fabulous mansion on east Capitol Hill. It made me want to become an architect too!"

Robert H. Dietz FAIA
1/12/1912 - 5/8/2006
We learned with sorrow of the death of Robert Dietz FAIA in Arizona, where he had retired with his family some years ago. In Seattle, he had established the firm Waldron and Dietz before taking on responsibilities as Dean of the UW College of Architecture and Urban Planning. A Mercer Island residence he designed received recognition in AIA Seattle's first Honor Awards program, in 1950.
His colleagues remember Robert Dietz:
·Norman J. Johnston FAIA: "Much of my early progress on the UW academic ladder was due to Bob Dietz's initiative. My arrival on the campus was, I'm sure, due principally to his approval along with that of others. His career at the time (1960) was in effect that of a dean if not in title. He subsequently became Dean and I was appointed Assistant Dean and then Associate Dean, a role that I continued to fill, serving a number of deans who followed him.
"Academically the College saw major expansions under his leadership with the founding of three new departments (Urban Planning, Landscape Architecture and Building Construction) and the transformation of the professional degree in Architecture from an undergraduate to a graduate level.
"But his tenure was clouded by an increasingly unsettled campus in those troubled years of the late 60s, early 70s. He left the deanship ca. 1972, followed shortly by what appeared to be a very happy remarriage following the death of his first wife, and his retirement in 1980. We in the College saw little of him thereafter, though reports all testified to his living the good life. To the continuation of those circumstances I heartily subscribe."
·William P. Gerberding: "I came in 1979 as UW President, after Bob Dietz's time there, but I knew him and enjoyed his company. He was an excellent golfer and belonged to Sahalee, as did I, and I'd see him around from time to time.
"More importantly, he designed one of the few alterations/extensions of the UW President's home at 808 36th Avenue East, originally designed in the early l900s by Bebb and Mendel for a timber baron. Bob's contribution was a 'modern' sun room attached to the southeast corner of this elegant old house and, as a sixteen-year occupant, I can attest that it worked beautifully . . . whatever some of your disputatious colleagues may have said about it."
·Philip L. Jacobson FAIA: "Bob Dietz had the gregarious, positive, and optimistic character that it took to mobilize the College, in those exciting years. As the College's second head (succeeding Arthur Hermann), he garnered excellent support from UW internal sources to nurture the growth of the College and all its disciplines.
"He encouraged me to come to campus and teach, and I stayed with that work for 40 years – which changed and enriched my professional life in a very positive way."
·Mark L. Nelson AIA: "Bob Dietz was Dean at the U of W Architecture School when I started there in 1967. He was always positive and always acknowledged me and my fellow students wherever we might be. He served as a role model, mentor and friend of students during my 5 years at the Universty. He was a leader in tumultuous times in the late sixties, early seventies, when campus unrest and new ways of thinking and being were being explored by thousands of students. He stuck in there with us and turned mayhem into a learning experience, one that has stayed with me all these years. I will always remember him for his inspiration to me as a student, a budding young architect and human being. "
·Andrew R. Goulding AIA SEGD: "My father took me to see his friend Bob Dietz, when I was starting college, to talk about the profession of architecture. Mr. Dietz was kind, and told me I did not have to worry too much about being bad at math. As long as I liked to draw."
Memorial notice, The Seattle Times 5/15/06

John Davis Young AIA
8/26/1909 - 4/4/2006
We learned with sorrow of the death of John Young AIA, in Champaign, Illinois. Research associates at the AIA Archives provided copies of documents recording the original election of John Davis Young to AIA membership in 1935, in San Francisco, and his active practice and participation in several Bay Area locations. The record (American Architects Directory) shows that he served as Secretary-Treasurer of the AIA Northern California Chapter 1939-42, and his relocation to Seattle in 1971. (6/06)

Dorman Anderson FAIA
5/6/1939 - 3/4/2006
We learned with sorrow of the death of a distinguished colleague, an AIA Member since 1972, whose lifetime of professional achievement and service included his term as AIA Seattle President 1989-90.
· His colleagues remember Dorman Anderson FAIA

Memorial Services 3pm Sunday, March 26
Bainbridge High School gymnasium

· Report, The Seattle Times 2/19
· More on Kathy & Ken and their family from Bainbridge friends & colleagues
·Profile: Kathy Bergum
· Profile: Ken Hartz
· Peter Brachvogel AIA of BC&J Architects, where Ken worked at the time of his death, has established an education fund for Kirsten & Kyle, welcoming contributions.
· Greg Hepp AIA: "Kathy Bergum and Ken Hartz shared an exceptional willingness to give. When the Bainbridge Housing Resources board called, Kathy was there to serve. When our Unitarian Church needed music, or a lay leader, Ken was there to serve. When the School District established a volunteer facilities committee, Kathy was there, working to improve our children's learning environment. When the classroom needed a music program, Ken was there to make didgeridoos and play them with the kids. When the Girl Scouts needed certified life guards, Kathy spent countless hours in the pool so that young girls could enjoy water activities.
"Kathy and Ken gave their time, their energy, and their love. They gave without show and with no expectation of return. This quality made them valued friends and valued members of our Bainbridge Island community. As architects, they brought honor to the profession. I am honored to have called them friends."

Donald Canty Hon. AIA
b. 1929, d. December 14, 2005
Services in Seattle 12/16 honored the former Editor of Architecture and journalist-about-town.

Robert Ivy FAIA: "He was the editor who took my first national story, then developed me, quickly, into a national writer--I was a contributing editor for Architecture for almost 15 years. Quite a guy. Wouldn't be here without him."
Richard W. Hobbs FAIA: "Don was really a character -- a great character. His leadership in the years of Architecture magazine by the AIA was very positive and strong. One in a long line of dedicated, passionate professionals----"
Doug Gordon Hon. AIA: "Don was a great mentor to Stephanie [Stubbs] and me both. I have thought--and will continue to think--of him often."
Norman L. Koonce FAIA: "This past week we ... lost ... a giant in our profession, a man who worked not in stone and glass but words which nevertheless had weight and gravity. The art critic of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer (where Donald Canty, Hon. AIA, s
