Learn a trade, while learning to appreciate the work of past artisans. This is one of the big ideas underscoring a series of ambitious urban projects at Assembly House 150<\/strong><\/a>.

Working with a team of experienced artisans, Maher, a professor of architecture at UB, has created an \u201cexperiential classroom\u201d and exhibit space where adults learn not only coveted work skills but the joy and satisfaction of purposeful creativity. Maher, a Baltimore native who\u2019s been absorbed in Western New York culture and lore for two decades now, pays homage to our history of fine craftsmanship, a tradition he believes can and should be passed on. The benefit accrues to all: Students in the SACRA<\/a> (Society for the Advancement of Construction Related Arts) program\u2014men and women, mostly ages 18 through late 20s, recruited from across the city\u2014learn marketable skills (their job placement rate is 80 percent), and the community is enhanced through restoration of our beautiful built environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing expertise is a corps of talented tradespeople, union workers, and retirees. Connecting the old with the new, in so many ways, has been a blessing all around. Instructors are those who\u2019ve accumulated a wealth of knowledge over time, imparting their skills to a new group of workers, many of whom had never learned to use even the simplest of tools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think people are yearning for a sense of connection,\u201d and the \u201crecovery of exceptionalness,\u201d so compromised by a world of standardization, says Maher. This once empty church edifice particularly appealed to him for its sheer size, 10,000 square feet of work and exhibit space, as well as its beauty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe building has so many historic features and examples of old-school craftsmanship, such as leaded glass windows and plasterwork and stonework,\u201d he notes. What better place to initiate students into artisanship? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, as Maher likes to put it, what better place to \u201ccreate wonder?\u201d He says, \u201cI am interested in spaces that spark curiosity, that inspire…that cause you to ask questions.\u201d To that end, he has worked on a slew of other projects around the city with various collaborators, including, for PUSH Buffalo, the New Normal Porch at 236 Normal Avenue, a multi-use porch, and the Northland Pattern Wall, a three-dimensional wooden wall mural for the public lobby of the Northland Workforce Training Center. He also worked with area tradespeople to create \u201cThe House of Collective Repair\u201d installation at the Buffalo AKG while serving at the museum\u2019s artist-in-residence in 2013. The Quarter House inside Assembly House 150 is a demonstration of traditional housebuilding techniques by SACRA students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future looks bright, including plans to develop new revenue streams through \u201cuniquely-crafted projects we create,\u201d he says. Right now, students are building \u201coutdoor rooms\u201d for purchase, small outdoor spaces\u2014suitable, for example, as a studio or yoga room\u2014which can be placed in a backyard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pandemic has delayed widespread revelation of more recent work, but projects have been chugging along since SACRA began in 2017. The Assembly House 150 space lends itself to much larger scale projects, not to mention social distancing, with class sizes of only 10 to 12 students.
