Learning Objectives:

• Learn about how to recognize situations that may lead to errors in design.

• Learn through accounts of failures how better documentation or communication may help you avoid.

• Learn how you might recover from and mitigate the results of a mistake or error in your practice.

• Learn about how to create an environment for your co-workers, consultants and contractors.

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.

In an effort to raise awareness for the plight of neglected historic sites in the New York’s Hudson Valley, co-authors and photographers Thomas Rinaldi and Robert Yasinsac will offer a glimpse at some of the region’s forgotten cultural treasures. Many of these buildings are listed on the National Register of Historical Places, and a few are even National Historical Landmarks. But in spite of their significance, these structures have been allowed to decay, and in some cases, to disappear altogether. Rinaldi and Yasinsac have been photographing the Hudson Valley since the mid-1990s. Their book “Hudson Valley Ruins: Forgotten Landmarks of an American Landscape” was published in 2006 by the University Press of New England. The New York State Museum in 2016-17 presented a photography and architecture exhibition of their work entitled “Hudson Valley Ruins.” Rinaldi and Yasinsac continue to document the demolition, restoration, and reuse of neglected historic sites in the Hudson Valley.
