AIA East Bay is thrilled to celebrate one of its own, Ashley Rybarczyk, AIA, for her recent appointment to the City of Alameda Historical Advisory Board. This prestigious role reflects her dedication to both the architectural profession and the preservation of historical assets within the community.
Ashley, an Architect and Senior Projet Manager at KTGY in Oakland, has previously served on the board of directors for AIA East Bay, contributing her skills and insights to the architectural community. Her appointment to the Historical Advisory Board is a testament to her expertise and passion for integrating sustainable design principles into the preservation of Alameda’s rich historical fabric. She has a unique blend of experience in residential, commercial, and healthcare architecture and urban planning, making her a valuable addition to the Board’s mission of preserving the city’s unique architectural heritage.
The Historical Advisory Board plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of Alameda’s historic resources. Composed of five members appointed by the City Council, the Board provides expert guidance on the preservation, restoration, and adaptive reuse of the city’s historic properties. It is responsible for reviewing proposed changes to designated landmarks, historic districts, and buildings of significance to ensure that the city’s historical character is preserved for future generations.
Ashley’s expertise in architectural design and project management, combined with her commitment to sustainable practices, will be instrumental in advising the Board on best practices for maintaining the historical integrity of the city while accommodating modern needs. As a Board member, she will have a direct impact on decisions that shape the look and feel of Alameda, ensuring that new developments and renovations honor the city’s historical roots.
We at AIA East Bay are proud to see Ashley’s contributions to the field recognized in such a meaningful way. Her appointment not only underscores her professional accomplishments but also highlights the importance of architectural preservation in maintaining the cultural and historical identity of our communities. We look forward to the positive impact she will make on the Historical Advisory Board and the city of Alameda as a whole.
