There will be a focus on how to take advantage of an extremely forgiving climate like that of Newport Beach. Architectural highlights will include how to use sun, light, and wind to directly shape the form of a building.

Presenter Bios:

Greg Mottola is a principal in the San Francisco office of Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, a preeminent architecture, planning, and interior design firm with additional offices in Seattle, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Greg is an award-winning designer of workplace, government, and university buildings, as well as a range of smaller projects that include theaters, restaurants, and residences. He merges sustainable design into humanely modern architecture, and is keenly interested in the tectonics of building and designing for the evolving nature of the modern workplace. His approach is exemplified in the Robert L. Preger Intelligent Workplace at Carnegie Mellon University, which is used by researchers to test new ideas in workplace design; Adobe Systems' San Francisco headquarters, which have received LEED Gold and Platinum ratings; and a new civic center complex for the City of Newport Beach, California. Comprised of city offices, a council chamber, and an extension of the existing main library, the interiors of Newport Beach Civic Center use a very flexible work environment that adapts readily to different organizational needs. A graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, Greg joined Bohlin Cywinski Jackson in 1990.

Steve Chaitow is a senior associate with Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, an architecture, planning, and interior design firm with offices in San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. After having worked with firms in Pittsburgh, Boston, and Cologne, Germany, Steve joined Bohlin Cywinski Jackson in 1997. In his career, he was worked on many award-winning civic, university, and commercial projects, including a federal courthouse in Florida; a library for the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York; a renovation of Hasty Pudding Theater at Harvard University; an oceanographic building at the University of Washington; and a new digital arts center for the University of California, Santa Cruz. Steve has worked on improving design delivery processes in the interest of creating better, more sustainable buildings. With his collaborative, inclusive style, he has worked with owners, design teams, and contractors in creating places that simultaneously inspire and meet the client's core needs. Steve currently serves as the project manager for the Newport Beach Civic Center and Park. The Civic Center is comprised of city offices, a council chamber, an extension of the existing main library, and a new parking garageall located on a rehabilitated 17-acre site. This project, currently tracking LEED gold, is scheduled for completion December 2012.

He has also contributed to a variety of other projects, including Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, California; Halls Ridge Knoll Guest House in Carmel, California; and La Jota Winery (unbuilt). In his current role as project architect for Newport Beach Civic Center and Park, Josh was central in coordinating the architectural design with the engineering systems. In addition to his architectural achievements, Josh is active in both academia and arts, teaching in the architectural department of San Francisco Academy of Art and the sculpture department at San Francisco Art Institute.
