Letter from the editor
Thank you for taking the time to read our fourth quarter issue of the AIA AAJ Journal. This is our last issue for 2016 and it has been a successful and rewarding year. I would like to thank the AIA and everyone on the Communications Committee, for a job well done and for always coming forward with great ideas, journal articles and themes.
First up in this issue, we have an inspiring and insightful interview with Fred Moyer. Mr. Moyer has profoundly influenced justice architecture thinking and touched the way we work on our diverse projects. But that is not enough; Fred Moyer is a progressive thinker and reminds us of future issues still left to tackle in our industry. The interview is a must read and will reinvigorate passions to make change.
Now only a few short weeks ago, some of the Knowledge Community met in Honolulu, for the annual AIA AAJ Conference. Sounds like it was not all surfing, hula dancing and fruity drinks. Stephen Carter reports.
We also have a collaborative article on Standards and Guidelines for Correctional Healthcare Facilities, written by three Communications Committee members. It starts with Larry Hartman discussing existing standards for correctional health care facilities, and then describes a proposal by Erin Persky, Greg Cook and the National Commission on Correctional Healthcare (NCCHC) to develop the correctional health care facility design guidelines.
Finally, we have another interview, this time with Linda Bernauer. Ms. Bernauer is our out-going member of the Leadership Group. We hope to gain some insight into the energy and thinking of this group that is such an important part of our Knowledge Committee. I would like to take this opportunity to personally tell Linda how much we appreciate and value her contributions.
If you have any journal ideas or contributions, please feel free to contact any of us on the Communications Committee.
Kindest,
Kerry Feeney
Chair – AAJ Communications Committee 2016
