Uncharted Territories
In many ways, the title of the 2015 ACSA Administrators Conference has already proven prescient. Hosted by the University of Puerto Rico in San Juan, Uncharted Territories was, by any measure, a resounding success. Co-chairs Patricia Oliver (Dean, University of Houston) and Francisco Javier Rodriguez (Dean, University of Puerto Rico) assembled a compelling program. Attendance, among the highest in recent memory, included school administrators from 10 nations representing 5 continents. It marked the first time a national ACSA conference had been held on the island in over three decades.
Much as we did at the ACSA business lunch in San Juan, I would like to provide the membership with an update on our activities. A key part of our presentation in San Juan centered on collateral discussions with and about NAAB. We have published both the update we gave at the lunch, and subsequent actions of the ACSA Board, on our Accreditation page.
ACSA Activities
Our 2015-16 schedule of conferences, competitions and events is in full swing.
Between the Autonomous and Contingent Object was the title of the 2015 Thematic Fall Conference, hosted in October by Syracuse University. Co-chaired by professors Roger Hubeli and Julie Larsen, the conference focused on architectural theory and discourse, employing a provocative format structured around a series of debates, and included keynote presentations by Brett Steele (AA London), Hernan Diaz Alonso (SCI-Arc), and Amale Andraos (Columbia University).
The 104th Annual Meeting, titled Shaping New Knowledges, will focus on the multiple modalities and products of architectural research currently underway at member schools. Robert Corser (University of Washington) and Sharon Haar (University of Michigan) serve as co-chairs of the conference, which will be hosted by the University of Washington in Seattle next March. Already, the meeting has attracted among the highest number of paper and project submissions in recent years.
Cross-Americas: Probing Disglobal Networks is the title of the 2016 International Conference. Focused on global discourse in architectural practice and research, the bi-annual conference, hosted by the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, will be held next June in Santiago de Chile. The institutional affiliations of its co-chairs span the Americas: Vera Parlac (University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada); Dana Cupkova (Carnegie Mellon University, Pennsylvania, USA); Alfredo Andia (Florida International University, Florida, USA); and Umberto Bonomo and Macarena Cortes (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, Chile).
Looking ahead, we have dates for the 2016 Fall Conference, focused on design and health. Building Well-Being will take place September 22-24 in Honolulu, hosted by the University of Hawaii an Manoa. The 2016 Administrators Conference is scheduled for November 3-5 in Chicago.
ACSA is hosting four student design competitions this year.
- AIA Committee on the Environment: Top Ten for Students
- AIA/ACSA Preservation as Provocation: A New Visitor Experience for the Farnsworth House
- 16th AISC/ACSA Steel Competition: Tall Buildings
- BSLC/ACSA Timber in the City: mid-rise, mixed use complex
Our three-year Communications Campaign, which launched IMadeThat.com and a social media hashtag initiative last spring to develop interest and content among students, will enter a new phase with the debut of StudyArchitecture.com in spring of 2016. The interactive website is designed to assist member schools with recruitment by providing future architecture students and their families with information about architecture education and about the schools that offer these programs of study. The site will replace the online Guide to Architecture Schools but use updated information collected from each member school. It will also connect members with the prospective students who visit the site.
Board Activities
New and continuing initiatives of the Board include a series of task forces charged with engaging collateral organizations and supporting and advancing the work of our member schools.
A Research Task Force is exploring strategies to position ACSA at the center of disciplinary and transdisciplinary research endeavors, becoming an increasingly valuable resource to our members as they pursue collaborative funded projects. This spring, the task force will deliver proposals for ACSA to expand its role as convener, connector, and cataloger of faculty scholarship.
An International Task Force is charged with exploring the articulation of an international strategy for ACSA, positioning the organization to be more relevant to architecture schools and faculty outside of North America. Representatives from every collateral are involved in these conversations, which focus on educational quality (including teaching and outcomes); growing international networks for research, scholarship, and its dissemination; and identifying opportunities for international collaboration through multiple modes of practice.
Three board committees have formed a Peer Review Task Force charged with growing opportunities for academic peer-review, recognition, publication, presentation, and exhibition for our members. This includes widening the range of available venues and modalities.
The board is creating a new strategic plan, moving us from a comprehensive plan to one that is deliberately strategic, as well as initiating governance review to improve the work we do.
The first result is a Bylaws Revision proposed to change our officer terms and duties to enhance continuity and effectiveness. Now approved by the membership, it will combine the positions of secretary and treasurer, and provide an incoming president a longer engagement with the organization before assuming the position of leadership.
In parallel, we are also engaged in a comprehensive re-examination of our board and committee structure in order to become increasingly nimble, more inclusive, better positioned to pursue projects representative of member interests, and to optimize the impact of architectural education.
Collateral Liaisons. Our board members are working with our collateral organizations in multiple critical areas:
Members of the ACSA board form part of the NCARB Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure Committee (IPAL), and the Intern Architect Committee (IAC).
With AIA and in conjunction with the 2016 AIA National Convention in Philadelphia, ACSA will co-lead the second edition of the AIA | ACSA Intersections Symposium: Innovative Technologies in Design and Delivery. The one-day workshop will be focused on research in building technology that brings together our academic and practice communities.
Path Forward
During the conference in San Juan we convened a lunchtime discussion about the work of the five collateral organizations have been doing regarding the funding, governance, and organizational structure of NAAB. You can find this information and ongoing updates on the status of that process on our Accreditation page.
We look forward to advancing these initiatives in the months to come. Please contact me or other members of the ACSA board with your feedback and suggestions.

Architects Foundation's Design and Health Research Consortium Expands, Adding Six New Members
The Architects Foundation, along with the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), today named six more schools of architecture and public health as members of the AIA Design & Health Research Consortium. The consortium helps translate research on design’s influence on public health into architectural practice for the public, policymakers, and design and public health professionals.
“These additional research teams will add to the influence the consortium is already having with some of the nation’s leading thinkers about the growing connection between design and public health,” said Architects Foundation Executive Director Sherry-Lea Bloodworth Botop. “We chose these new members because their research has the best potential for affecting policy across a wide swath of issues at the intersection of the built environment and public health.”
“The new members add depth to the collective work of the consortium, particularly in areas of physical activity and natural systems,” Michael Monti, ACSA Executive Director said. “Their work will translate findings for practice and add rigorous research that others can build on.”
Over a three-year period, the Architects Foundation, the AIA and its partners will provide institutional support and capacity building for the new consortium members, promoting collaboration through local and national partnerships and enable knowledge-sharing through conference calls and face-to-face events. Whenever appropriate, the AIA and its partners will promote the activities of the consortium with potential funders.
The AIA will also issue an annual report on the activities and accomplishments of the consortium members. Today, the Architects Foundation issued its first annual report on the activities of the consortium’s original 11 members.
The new Consortium member teams are:
• Morgan State University. The university, a Historically Black Institution (HBI) in Baltimore, is committed to the education of minorities. The University’s Community, Design, Health (CDH) Forum was initiated in August. This forum encourages interdisciplinary research on the relationships among community, design, and health. Its goal is to engage students from multiple departments–architecture, planning, landscape, sociology, public health, and psychology, and nursing–with academic and professional conversations about health and design. Using Baltimore’s urban infrastructure as the background for understanding public health concerns, CDH aspires to develop undergraduate and graduate students who can identify, design, and develop healthy environments.
• University of Memphis School of Public Health. Memphis and its Delta region, with some of the highest rates of poverty in the nation, leads the country in many public health challenges, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other chronic diseases. Yet walking safely is a challenge that restricts many individuals from enjoying their neighborhood gaining access to goods and services by foot. Memphis has one of the highest pedestrian fatality rates in the country, with between 300 to 400 pedestrian injuries every year and between 10 to 20 pedestrian fatalities. The school’s Memphis Walks’ initiative focuses on improving quality of life through improved walkability, promoting physical activity, improved air quality, and social cohesion via walking. Its goals are to further document the importance of walkability to public health and wellbeing as well as make the case for why walking more should be a priority in urban neighborhoods.
• School of Architecture, University of Minnesota. While the connections between health and the physical environment are increasingly better understood, little exists to guide and coordinate the activities of architects responsible for designing these environments. The school’s team of health-focused, human-centered systems designers, architects, and public health experts plan to engage in “in situ” research and collaborate with a low income urban community in Minneapolis to develop a systematic Design + Health Equity scorecard to 1) aid in identifying key community specific environmental assets and barriers to health equity needs and 2) offer tangible tools that guide the design/redesign at the building- block and community level.
• School of Architecture, University of Virginia. According to the American Institute of Stress, nearly one in five of American adults – or around 40 million Americans- suffers from stress-related anxiety disorders. The World Health Organization in 2011 found that 31 percent of Americans are likely to suffer from an anxiety problem at some point during their lifetimes – the worst rate in the world. Work- related stress and depression is the largest occupational health problem in the USA, and the key cause of absenteeism. This project establishes a stress environment consortium to build evidence on how urban green infrastructure (UGI) – including natural typologies like green walls/roofs can support stress mitigation and, in turn, promote health resilience and protection from chronic disease. Its goal is to develop a new national capacity to measure and understand the link between UGI and stress mitigation, including gender, race and income disparities.
• University of Washington, Department of Architecture. The University of Washington team focuses on health in the built environment in their established research initiatives at building and community levels. These initiatives include using Seattle’s Bullitt Center, which was designed to meet the Living Building Challenge, as a laboratory to test the intersection between health and the built environment on multiple scales, research on design and technology fostering energy efficiency and healthy human environments, and interdisciplinary teaching initiatives in health and the built environment. Through their multidisciplinary research and strong connection with practicing Architecture, Engineering, and Construction professionals, the team is well poised to make significant contributions to four of the six AIA Research Consortium’s approaches to health.
• Washington University in St. Louis, Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts and Brown School of Social Work. The Sam Fox School’s Center for Health Research & Design uses design research methods to develop new knowledge that leads to innovative solutions for improving the experience of health and delivery of care from the community to the hospital and back. The Brown School’s Prevention Research Center explores behaviors that place Americans at risk for chronic diseases such as obesity, cancer, and stroke among vulnerable populations. The schools’ multidisciplinary research teams have collaborated on projects that address how environmental factors impact health conditions and in turn the sustainability of our communities, often intersecting with natural systems that also support the overall connectedness of the residents.
The AIA has organized its design and health initiative around six evidence-based approaches that architects can use at the building and urban scale. These six approaches—environmental quality, natural systems, physical activity, safety, sensory environments, and social connectedness—recognize that the physical environment creates health opportunities and facilitates positive health behaviors.
See these six approaches to achieving health through built environment design & policy here:
