Primary model maker for in house models of in-progress projects, ranging in stage and scale. 
Models were often used as tools of design and I constantly worked with colleagues to get details correct and accurately depict the gestural goals of the project in a way the client could receive. 

I also participated in FF&E coordination on one project, which gave me the opportunity to converse with material suppliers and get an idea of scheduling and lead times.

As a lab technician, I operated the laser cutter, 3D printer and CNC Router for students interested in fabricating elements of their architectural and non-architectural projects. I learned key operations in order to maintain the machines and methods of troubleshooting both cut files and .stl files as well as machine errors and inaccuracies. One of the biggest benefits of this opportunity to work as a technician was to experiment with machine settings and fine tune settings in order to better control results.

Tau Sigma Delta
Treasurer
As Treasurer of the Cal Poly San Luis Obispo chapter of the AIAS, I have consolidated our funds and crafted budgetary plans for the club in order to maintain sufficient funds for meetings and events. I have also fundraised in order to earn additional funding for long term goals of maintaining a cushion for the club and to enable us to send members to conferences and leadership events which are the primary opportunities our member base has to network outside of San Luis Obispo.

President, Treasurer (2014-2016)
One week was spent guiding and helping to transition a group of twenty new students to Cal Poly and get them accustomed to the lifestyle of living in the dorms and learning in the college setting. I worked with my Co-WOW Leader whom I trained with for three months before planning out the week for our WOWies. From this experience, I learned time management and flexibility in terms of scheduling and preparing for changes. I also learned how to work effectively in large groups and provide options to allow for greater collective satisfaction.

WOW Leader
I was humbly honored for my efforts as an active AIAS member and contributor during my time at Cal Poly. This award encourages me to continue this trajectory into my professional career and stay involved in the AIA and continue to find ways to benefit the profession, organization and community at large.
AIACC Academy of Emerging Professionals
2018 Student Leader Award
The jury continually noted Alex’s rigor and dedication to governance details of his chapter.  In addition to organizing a mass restructuring of a large board, he zoomed in on revamping bylaws and other tedious tasks that often go neglected.  The jury also appreciated Alex’s personal outreach to a local community college chapter that has been floundering in recent years. The community college leadership resurfaced, the members re-engaged, and they even attended the 2018 Grassroots Leadership Conference in DC. By taking initiative, he was able to engage with a group of students who were unreachable by the national office for years. In addition to working with the community college, Alex continually poured into freshman within his own university.  He did this because he saw a lack of continuity in chapter leadership on the horizon. One of the most appreciated parts of his application was where he displayed personal development OUTSIDE of the AIAS. Alex displayed the AXP hours he had earned to date, proving that in tandem with balancing each piece of his education and volunteer activity, he is actively pursuing licensure and professional development on his own terms. Thank you for continually leading by example.

AIAS Chapter Honor Award - Honorable Mention
Alex Siegel is currently a fifth year architecture student at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. He has served on his chapter’s AIAS Board as Chapter Treasurer for two years, and now as the 2017-2018 Chapter President. In high school, Alex had received a scholarship through his local AIA chapter which inevitably led to his involvement in AIAS.

As Chapter President, Alex has helped oversee the chapter’s second year of ARCHx lectures, produced medallions as tokens of appreciation for the ARCHx lecturers, represented his chapter at Grassroots and FORUM, restructured the complex board, rewrote and consolidated his chapter’s bylaws, and produced an event form process to aid coordinators and documentation.

West Quadrant Director Caitlin Kessler said that Alex has extended CalPoly SLO’s AIAS network by collaborating with nearby AIAS chapters, faculty, and local professionals. “Alex has the character of a true leader – patient, inquisitive, helpful, confident, and most importantly, proactive,” said Caitlin.

Alex’s unwavering commitment and dedication has not gone unnoticed among his peers. Liam Hanlon, AIAS Past Chapter President, explains how Alex continues to demonstrate exceptional leadership and people management skills. “Alex’s emotional intelligence supports his work as he is able to relate to people and connect with them. His creative mind has changed the way our board functions and runs. By creating a dynamic calendar, we are now able to see where our board members are during the week and what they are up to,” said Liam.

Alex plans to promote social initiatives that allow students to get out of studio and to engage with local professionals and each other in the coming year. He also hopes to boost membership within his chapter and neighboring ones to create a sizable AIAS presence in the West Quad!

We were assigned to find an aspect of the Cal Poly campus that needed refinement or something that was missing all together. It was decided that designing an application that shares Rec Center attendance information with students would help relieve the crowds and better inform individuals who are tired of waiting for machines. This app was designed to build off of Cal Poly's existing application and was recommended to Greg Avakian, the Rec Center director. [This project has not been carried out]
Campus Improvement Recommendation Report
Our team competed in the annual design competition hosted by Disney.  For this year's competition, we had to create and design an "experience" that would project the Disney spirit while having a positive contribution towards society.  We decided to recreate a subway line in NYC by adding technology such as piezoelectric tiles that would act as energy "harvesters", which could be used for future purposes towards NYC.

I participated in this service club for my four years of high school. I took part in events like Kiwanis Special Games, Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen and Relay for Life. As a board member, I also helped to plan and coordinate social and dine-in style fundraisers. The raised funds went towards putting on our events and attending regional and district wide conferences.

        Alex was the ideal intern, giving 110%--with great imagination and enthusiasm--to every task assigned to him. That ranged from checking documents and altering photographs, to proposing design solutions and creating 3D models. I recommend him highly.
