Perspectus Architecture is proud to welcome two new team
members this summer, Vandana Sambangi and Andrew Swansiger. Vandana joins us as
our new accounting manager overseeing the daily operations of the accounting
department. Andrew joins us as an intern architect working towards his
architecture license and is a recent graduate of Kent State University.
We thought we would introduce them both with a short Q &
A!
Vandana Sambangi
What aspect of your role
do you enjoy the most?
I enjoy seeing the financial aspect of things, so I like knowing how well the
company is doing financially
– providing feedback, offering insights to process improvements.
What are you most
looking forward to at Perspectus?
I’m looking for a new challenge that can help me broaden my
experience in accounting and finance. I believe this change of industry will do
just that. With my skill set and experience, this would give me an opportunity
to build new working relationships and learn new things.
Where is your hometown?
Cleveland, Ohio
What is your favorite
way to spend your free time? What do you enjoy about it?
I love to cook. I wouldn’t call myself a master, but I can
put some drool-worthy food on plate for my family every evening! I’m always
looking for new recipes and new techniques to try out, which is so easy to do
these days thanks to the Internet. I really like keeping my family guessing
what’s the next masterpiece—or disaster—will be.
What is your personal
philosophy?
My philosophy of life is: “Don’t make anything complex.
Keep it simple and make it memorable.” Most importantly, live it each day. Our
lives are filled
with a constant stream of choices, so let’s make the best ones possible.

New Middletown, Ohio.
What is your favorite
way to spend your free time?
During my free time I enjoy sketching and playing hockey.
What is your personal
philosophy?
If you aim high and miss that is okay…the fear should be
if you aim too low and hit.
July 2019 –We are proud to announce that Scott Sturm, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, NCARB has accomplished all requirements to become a fully licensed architect! Throughout his journey, Scott has succeeded in each stage of qualification, including passing all divisions of the Architect Registration Exam.
May is National Preservation Month! To celebrate, team members from our historic studio share their insights to questions like: What is the purpose of historic preservation? Why should developers prioritize the reuse of old buildings? What are the biggest challenges facing historic preservation today?
Continue reading to learn answers to those questions and more, including a paranormal experience.
Technology is essential to any current practice. The trick is to use the technological tools and not let the tools run the project. When we consider buildings constructed in another era, we must consider the technology of that time in order to best understand how the materials work and to understand the capacity of the structure itself.
Technology is essential to any current practice. The trick is to use the technological tools and not let the tools run the project. When we consider buildings constructed in another era, we must consider the technology of that time in order to best understand how the materials work and to understand the capacity of the structure itself.
It is not always wise to force a “new” system on the old one. However! We use all sorts of cool tools from simple devices like Rilem tubes to moisture meters, binocular microscopes, borescopes and ground penetrating radar. We can locate the reinforcing bars buried in concrete, test for rot, understand the failure rate of stone, and determine an exact match for historic mortar, plaster patches, and colors on decorative paint schemes that are hundreds of years old.
Software continues to improve and offers many easy options for stitching photographs, weaving HVAC through historic structural systems, and highlighting moisture problems through thermographic data.
Alice Sloan, Associate AIA Historic Preservation Specialist
How did you end up specializing in historic preservation?
My parents instilled a love of history in me from a very young age. I grew up vacationing in the southern United States touring historic sites and battlefields and developed an appreciation of historic homes in particular.
What is your historic place to visit?
Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens is my favorite Akron historic landmark. I could live there as a servant a la Downton Abbey and be fulfilled in life.
Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens is my favorite Akron historic landmark. I could live there as a servant a la Downton Abbey and be fulfilled in life. Their Children’s Garden is delightful, as are their special events, such as Ohio Mart, and their holiday decorations and lights event. Sometimes there are even performances in the ballroom!
What do you think is the purpose of historic preservation?
Historic preservation of significant buildings and places holds a tangible link to the past that allows us to see the work of our ancestors.
Historic preservation of significant buildings and places holds a tangible link to the past that allows us to see the work of our ancestors.
Just as people need historic places and buildings, historic places and buildings also need people. Without emphasizing the human dimension, the sharing of stories about a place and making it relevant to today, the value of the historic site is challenging to verify.
Lately, I have a renewed appreciation for the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Their mission is “People Saving Places,” and they make this message front and center in everything they do, such as through their “This Place Matters” campaign.
What can we learn from tragic burning of the Cathedral Notre Dame Paris?
Thorough documentation in the form of photographs and measured drawings is essential for our most significant buildings. 3-D laser scanning and photogrammetry should be utilized.
Brian Broadus, AIA, LEED AP BD+C Senior Project Director
How did you pick up the practice of architecture in historic preservation?
I grew up in a working-class city just beginning to commercially and culturally exploit the remnants of its grand patrician past.
I grew up in a working-class city just beginning to commercially and culturally exploit the remnants of its grand patrician past. It was also gradually admitting that it owed its European legacy to the skills and knowledge of the enslaved, oppressed, and impoverished.
Preservation in Charleston is much more expertly done now, but even then, it was clearly as much about politics and learning as it was about pure design. In Charlottesville, I got to work on the University of Virginia. Jefferson and his contemporaries, and the architects who immediately followed them, had a continuing influence on us locals.
Historic preservation wants material culture to truthfully tell the story of its authors, keepers, and users. The discipline predates the modern professionalization of architecture and was a means by which building itself was first subjected to a detailed study. It is comfortable.
I restored an 1844 Greek Revival church (Thomas Ustick Walter, architect) after it burned.
I restored an 1844 Greek Revival church (Thomas Ustick Walter, architect) after it burned. It came together well, with a construction crew that was careful and serious, and the building is in every respect better and more durable than it was before I got involved. It didn’t lose its authenticity along the way. And the building committee members became my friends.
Technology more and more accurately maps and measures historic resources. Much of architectural conservation is removing old repair materials that are incompatible with the original ones.
Technology more and more accurately maps and measures historic resources. Much of architectural conservation is removing old repair materials that are incompatible with the original ones. Ready laboratory analysis makes that kind of restoration simpler.
Virtual reality helps us understand former building configurations. Communication makes it easier to dig up special expertise. Large data sets should improve preservation planning.
What’s the most interesting story you uncovered about a project that you worked on?
An infirmary from 1858 led me into scientific literature surrounding the miasma theory of disease and taught me about Florence Nightingale and the origins of professional nursing.
I also bumped into the last known photograph of Edgar Allen Poe and the man who took it.

What are the biggest challenges in preservation today?
Preservation establishes something as definitely past—conserving it would not otherwise be necessary. Preservation likewise exists to reveal a landmark’s continuing beauty, utility, and relevance.
Preservation establishes something as definitely past—conserving it would not otherwise be necessary. Preservation likewise exists to reveal a landmark’s continuing beauty, utility, and relevance. Architects need to practice it without chasing away the community that kept up once-unappreciated patrimony.
Sea levels will soon flood vulnerable buildings, cities, and landscapes. Preservation professionals must help government identify monuments and secure them. Climate change will generally stress existing, traditional materials, and building configurations, in unprecedented ways.
What is the project you are most proud of and why?
The project that I am most proud of is the Faber Building in Wooster, OH. This was the first project I got to work on when I started out as an intern.
The project that I am most proud of is the Faber Building in Wooster, OH. This was the first project I got to work on when I started out as an intern. The Faber Building was one of my first experiences with a historical building rehabilitation project and opened my eyes to the special procedures and construction process that goes with a historical building.
In addition, I am proud of how the finished product turned out. The previous images of the existing conditions showed a building that was vacant and neglected for years and in bad shape. I was able to contribute to the team and rehabilitate the structure into a beautiful space like it was in its heyday.
My favorite historical places that I have visited was either Athens, Greece, or Florence, Italy. In Athens, I was able to visit the Acropolis and see the Parthenon.
My favorite historical places that I have visited was either Athens, Greece, or Florence, Italy. In Athens, I was able to visit the Acropolis and see the Parthenon. It was surreal to see this mega-structure that was built thousands of years ago at the birthplace of democracy. Being able to live in Florence for five months was truly incredible. Every day was a new history walk and it was a blessing to witness the amazing art and architecture all around city.
What do you think is the purpose of historic preservation?
The purpose of Historical Preservation is to preserve sites, structures, or districts that had an impact on history. To me, it is the practice of preserving and rehabilitating old historic structures so that they are economically stable in today’s world.
Why should developers prioritize the reuse of old buildings?
Developers should prioritize the reuse of old buildings because of the potential opportunity of State and Federal Historic Tax Credits that help with the cost of rehabilitating an old building.
Developers should prioritize the reuse of old buildings because of the potential opportunity of State and Federal Historic Tax Credits that help with the cost of rehabilitating an old building. In addition, some old structures have good “bones” or a good “shell” where a developer would only need to make cosmetic changes rather than a full new build. Historic structures, in themselves, have a history or connection to the surrounding area they inhibit that makes the building part of a story.
Developers should embrace this rather than build new from the ground up.
How did you end up specializing in historic preservation?
History has always had a special place in my heart. From a very young age, my imagination was sparked by tangible interaction with history. Touch, sound, sight and smell allow you to experience the physicality of history.
History has always had a special place in my heart. From a very young age, my imagination was sparked by tangible interaction with history. Touch, sound, sight and smell allow you to experience the physicality of history.
When it comes down to it, I truly believe nothing compares to physically experiencing history. With this belief in my heart, I slowly started collecting things that felt like a gateway into the past. Model trains, coins, a camera, and a lemon juicer were some of my first finds.
These minor, seemingly insignificant things started to glow with the presence of those who used them before me. It was then that I realized the most minor thing could have significant meaning.
My childhood fantasies grew into a hunger for history that was never satisfied. I learned to appreciate what history we have by understanding how much history we have lost. My hope is that through specializing in historic preservation, I get to save our heritage while transforming our future.
It’s a tie between New Orleans and the basement of any historic building. I love New Orleans because it is a true blending of dissimilar and potent cultures.
I love basements because they are often the last thing altered in a historic building. So, that means that they are often the closest thing to original left in a building. Basements are dirty, cold, damp and dark. It’s the absolute best place to go.
Have you ever had a paranormal experience working on a project?
A Perspectus project? No. Thank goodness. However, I was on a ghost hunt in Americas’ oldest city when my husband captured something otherworldly.
A Perspectus project? No. Thank goodness. However, I was on a ghost hunt in Americas’ oldest city when my husband captured something otherworldly.
We were in the St. Augustine historic jail when suddenly I found myself alone in what used to be a jail cell. I didn’t realize that my husband was just outside the doorway photographing me. I remember feeling an intense weight of sadness, like the air above me was 400lbs, and I stood there unable to move. Eventually I was able to unfreeze and left the room lacking the words to explain what happened. It was the day after, going through photos, we found this…
What do you think is the purpose of historic preservation?
To preserve history to ensure the survival and growth of our heritage.
What is your vision for the future of the historic preservation movement?
I envision that as a society, we learn to appreciate historic things as they are. This holds very true for our historic built environment. I hope that as we progress, people value the importance of our historic buildings, and become advocates to retain them in an appropriate way.

Historic buildings are not a sum of their parts, they cannot be dismantled, and pieces parts separated. Historic buildings have an identity, and just as people, these identities are holistic. Historic buildings can grow and change, but they must always stay true.
Why should developers
prioritize reuse of old buildings?
Because age is an asset, not a hindrance. Viewing age as a hindrance makes for terrible design and a disappointing life.
What can we learn from tragic burning of the Cathedral Notre Dame Paris?
Regret only goes one way. Once something is destroyed, it cannot be re-obtained. The tower will never be the same. The major question circulating now is whether the tower be built as it was, or it becomes something new. It is most important to remember what piece of heritage this holds for the area.
Regret only goes one way. Once something is destroyed, it cannot be re-obtained. The tower will never be the same. The major question circulating now is whether the tower be built as it was, or it becomes something new. It is most important to remember what piece of heritage this holds for the area. The new tower must correctly represent that heritage. The community feels as though a piece of its identity has been destroyed. We must restore that identity.
When we break something, the first thing we do is try to put it back together. Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail. But we always try to restore things, its human nature. Because we are grateful, we appreciate things after we realize how quickly they can be taken away. Does the new tower need to look identical? No. Perhaps they build the new as an iteration. That’s all history is, a slight iteration of what came before it.
We improve and we tweak while appreciating what was there before. When you get hurt, you often end up with a scar. The new regenerates as closely as it can to the old, forever being slightly different. You live and grow with the scar as a reminder.
Copenhagen as the city has maintained most of its historic fabric by re-purposing the interiors and by doing so has maintained the character of the city from the past but promoted the usefulness of the city for the present.
What is something new
you learned this week?
A Johnson Glass House + a Wright Overhang + a 1960’s Fleischman school entrance does not = a compatible addition to a 1889-1922 building!
Why should developers
prioritize the reuse of old buildings?
Coming from a ‘new-build’ architectural background, the reuse of old buildings provides two main positive objectives. The first is a maintenance of a sense of place – the comfort of time past in a present functional location allows a level of well-being and understanding for current and future inhabitants.
Coming from a ‘new-build’ architectural background, the reuse of old buildings provides two main positive objectives. The first is a maintenance of a sense of place – the comfort of time past in a present functional location allows a level of well-being and understanding for current and future inhabitants.
The second is a reduction of materials needed and used for construction, which can lower the carbon footprint, promote sustainability, and provide better Life Cycle Costs to clients.
What can we learn from the tragic burning of the Cathedral Notre Dame Paris?
As sad as it was to watch the Cathedral tower and roof burn, the opportunity for today’s designers to now revisit this cathedral’s aesthetics, structure and form will lead to a better understanding of historical structures across the architectural community.
As sad as it was to watch the Cathedral tower and roof burn, the opportunity for today’s designers to now revisit this cathedral’s aesthetics, structure and form will lead to a better understanding of historical structures across the architectural community.
Additionally, the opportunity to ‘re-think’ the building, allowing all of the design community to provide ideas and thoughts as to its future restructuring and restoration may well provide a fresh look at how this historic building can continue to give a sense of place, an understanding of location, and maintain a cultural heritage for our current and future our society.
May 2019 – We’re excited to welcome our new summer architectural intern, Robbie Eberhart, to the team!
Robbie is a rising senior of the Kent State University Class of 2020 where he studies architecture. We asked Robbie five questions to help everyone get to know him.
What about architecture excites you?
The fact that a field of study and work can influence so many people in such dynamic ways is inspiring.
The part I find most interesting is the ability to positively affect the communities involved with the projects. Not often does everyone get a chance to impact people’s lives directly every day, but architecture is the perfect medium to allow your creative interests and ideas improve the people you work with.
Who is your favorite architect?
I don’t have a specific favorite architect; however, my favorite architecture firm is Diller Scofidio and Renfro (DS + R). They do very interesting work and their design process uses amazing graphics and figural strategies that inspire the work I hope to do one day.
What are you looking forward to as you begin your internship here at Perspectus?
As I take my
first step into learning about becoming a professional architect, I am excited
to learn about how a firm interacts with clients, and how many different ways
you can work on design in a firm environment.
I am interested in the relationship between architecture and people, so I hope to learn all I can about how the design process works by joining the client and firm relationship together to tackle a project.
I am also interested
to learn about all the design strategies and modes explored in the professional
setting. You can only learn so much in the academic setting, so I hope to be
exposed to the many ways I haven’t seen yet.
What do you hope to do after you graduate?
After I graduate with my bachelor’s degree in Architecture, I intend on pursuing a dual master’s degree in both architecture and business. Kent State University offers a dual mastery program that I hope to accomplish.
After I finish school, I want to work somewhere that I can have a lasting impact on the communities I serve, and maybe one day open and run my own practice.
People would be surprised if they knew…
People would be surprised if they knew that I care about
superheroes more than my well-being. I follow Marvel Comics unconditionally,
and I could tell you anything about the Marvel Comic Universe that you want to
know.
My favorite marvel hero is “Iron Man”, but my favorite superhero in general is “The Flash” (from DC Comics). I don’t own any physical comic book collections, but there are digital collections online that I follow and subscribe to.
February 2019 – Perspectus Architecture is proud to announce that our own Principal Elizabeth Corbin Murphy, FAIA, has been selected as a 2019 Crain’s Notable Women in STEM. In addition to being incredibly well-deserved, this recognition is also particularly significant as architecture was just recently added as an official STEM Subject as of July 31, 2018.
Congratulations, Elizabeth! Thank you for your leadership and mentoring both within our firm and in the architecture industry.
Elizabeth Corbin Murphy Principal, Perspectus Architecture
Most recent education: Master of architecture, Kent State University
Elizabeth Corbin Murphy develops processes and technologies to evaluate structures and materials so they may be authentically restored and renovated.
In addition to navigating the merger between her firm, one of the oldest women-led architectural practices in Ohio, with Perspectus Architecture, she is also a professor of practice at Kent State University College of Architecture and Environmental Design.
Kathleen Crowther, president of the Cleveland Restoration Society, said Corbin Murphy is a renowned heritage architect throughout the Midwest.
“Elizabeth is a leading advocate for excellence in urban planning, retrofitting of existing buildings, sensitivity in design so that it can lift the entire community, and, of course, the restoration, rehabilitation and preservation of historic buildings,” Crowther said.
Corbin Murphy also is known for her veracity.
In 2015, she was named Woman of the Year for Integrity by the Summit County Women’s History Project and earned the American Institute of Architects Ohio Gold Medal in 2014. She also serves on the board of directors for the Great Trail Council, Boy Scouts of America.
“We can have confidence in the wise, thoughtful and courageous voice she brings to the often-challenging issues of the day. Her moral commitment to do good is unparalleled,” said Terry Welker, AIA fellow and chief building official for the city of Kettering.
Perspectus Architecture is proud to welcome our newest team member, Gwendolyn Frank! She recently graduated from Kent State University with a Master of Architecture. She joins us as an intern architect and hopes to one day be a proud pet-parent for the world’s largest (perhaps cutest?) rodent, the capybara.
We thought we would introduce her with a short Q&A to help everyone get to know her.
Where are you from originally?
I grew up in Westerville, Ohio, but have lived around different parts of Ohio.
What’s your favorite thing to do outside of work?
Exploring a new place or having a new experience is something I value greatly.
Who or what inspires you most?
Family has always been a large source of my inspiration.
What are you most excited about as you begin your career?
I am most excited to continue learning, and specifically learning in a professional setting. School and the profession offer quite different learning opportunities.
If I weren’t an architect I would be….
I never had a backup option, but I suppose it would have something to do with art and history.
What’s the coolest place you’ve ever been? Where do you want to travel to most and why?
I was fortunate to travel to Italy during school, and my most memorable moment was sitting overlooking the city from the Florence Opera. I could see my next big adventure being Barcelona to see Sagrada Familia.
Favorite TV show/movie?
Movies, I enjoy old Hollywood films and for TV I am happy when a new season of Project Runway starts.
Is there something not many people know about you?
I have an affinity for unique animals and really would love to have a capybara someday.
via Giphy
The age-old Cleveland question: East Side or West Side?
I live on the East Side but more often on the West Side in my spare time.
Cavs or Indians?
Indians for sure!
Dogs or Cats?
Dogs. I grew up fostering puppies for the humane society and hope to have a chance to sometime in the future.
Welcome to the team, Gwendolyn! We’re so glad to have you here!
Since 2001, Perspectus Architecture co-founder Larry Fischer, AIA, ACHA, NCARB has served as Managing Design Principal alongside longtime friend and colleague, Bill Ayars, AIA, ACHA, MBA. On September 12, 2018, Larry will be transitioning into a new role as Chairman of the firm’s Board of Advisors.
Perspectus Architecture co-founder Larry Fischer
Larry’s distinguished career as a prominent specialist in healthcare design spans more than 43 years. He is a registered architect in 21 states and one of just 40 architects in Ohio to achieve Board Certification from the American College of Healthcare Architects. Over the course of his tenure, Larry has led major projects from master planning to implementation for more than five million square feet of healthcare facilities.
Larry builds relationships through exceptional service, dedication, and honesty. This approach, combined with his depth of expertise, has led the firm in establishing many high-profile clients. Under Larry’s leadership, the firm has grown to include more than 50 staff members practicing within eight markets covering Healthcare, Education, Senior Living, Historic, Civic & Government, Hospitality, Laboratory and Commercial architecture.
Larry and Bill’s vision for Perspectus Architecture was to leave a design legacy that would outlast them through a culture of transparency and mutual trust. Over the last 17 years, the firm has been recognized as a national leader in transformational healthcare architecture.
“Since the beginning, Larry has been key in developing our culture, branding, and the markets we do work in. He has helped create a culture of growth where the firm leadership is continually training and developing their successors,” says Perspectus Architecture Managing Principal and co-founder Bill Ayars. Bill goes on to say that Larry has a keen ability to “cut through the noise” to find solutions.
Team building is something that has always been important to Larry, as he believes that every team member plays a role in developing client relationships. By removing hierarchy of communication, Larry has instilled a culture of openness and collaboration both with clients and within the firm itself.
“Besides our staff being exceptional at what they do, much of the success of the firm comes from forming relationships with clients that go beyond professional and develop into true friendships,” says Larry.
Passing the Torch
On September 12, Principals Salvatore Rini (“Sal”), AIA and Michael Lipowski (“Mike”), AIA, LEED AP, NCARB, CDT are assuming new roles as Managing Principals with Bill. Sal and Mike have been key parts of the firm’s leadership team since the early years.
Perspectus Architecture Managing Principals pictured left to right: Mike Lipowski, Sal Rini and Bill Ayars
“They’re active examples of the firm’s culture of honesty, openness and transparency. They’re really good at what they do and will help us get to the next growth phase as a firm,” says Bill of Sal and Mike.
Sal Rini joined Perspectus in 2007 and is a seasoned and creative architect with more than 28 years of experience under his belt. Sal is driven and extremely passionate about architecture and design. His project portfolio encompasses the planning, programming and design of healthcare, education, and government facilities. He loves designing complex structures and knowing that he is positively impacting the people who use the spaces. Sal currently serves as lead architect for Summa Health System’s new West Tower that is scheduled for completion in 2019. He also plays an active role mentoring young architects in the office, supporting their efforts and challenging them to continually improve.
Mike Lipowski has more than 23 years of experience providing exceptional technical design development, construction document and administrative leadership for healthcare, educational and corporate clients. Mike’s background is highly specialized in technical equipment installations and project implementation. Since joining Perspectus in 2003, he has been instrumental in building an exceptional list of clients that include many world-class healthcare institutions.
“Sal and I are very excited to build upon the strong foundation that Larry and Bill have established and intend to expand our existing services within our multiple market sectors,” says Mike, “It is truly amazing what Perspectus has accomplished in less than 2 decades and we look forward to help shape the future of this firm.”
The Road Ahead
The leadership transitions here at Perspectus signal exciting times ahead for us. They come at a pivotal point for the firm as it continues to grow and evolve towards its mission of exceptional design and service.
July 2018 – Perspectus Architecture is proud to welcome Brian Broadus, AIA, LEED AP BD+C to our team.
Broadus brings over 30 years of experience in historic architecture and a reputation of strong project management and design skills. His skills and experience add great value to our firm as we continue to grow our historic and education studios. In his new role at Perspectus, Broadus will design and manage restoration and adaptive reuse projects of all building types including higher education projects.
Throughout his career, Broadus has worked on multiple award-winning projects including the relocation and restoration of the 1858 Student Infirmary at the University of Virginia, the restoration of the 1844 Lexington Presbyterian Church in Lexington, Virginia, and the Walter L. Rice Education Building at Virginia Commonwealth University. Broadus formerly served as a member of the Virginia Board of Historic Resources and looks forward to joining similar organizations in Cleveland and Ohio.
Broadus received his bachelor’s degree from Clemson University and his Master of Architecture and Master of Architectural History from the University of Virginia. Most recently, Broadus was a Senior Project Manager with ThenDesign Architecture.
When asked what inspires him, Broadus says, “Considering architecture’s role in the city and as a political act. I enjoy seeing the virtuoso work of earlier architects and builders, understanding construction and maintenance in its full cultural context. I embrace architectural preservation as part of keeping up community life and identity, so work that succeeds in accomplishing that task excites me to try and equal it.”
Welcome to Perspectus, Brian! We’re proud to have you on our team!
