Armando Araiza, Lecturer, led his undergraduate students in the design, fabrication, and mounting of a public art installation mounted on the façade of the Houston Street Parking Garage in downtown San Antonio, TX. The installation was composed of 128 individual aluminum modules clustered to create 16 unique tiles. The tiles were designed to evoke handmade Mexican “talavera” tiles, and composed to recall a map of San Antonio.

 

 

Ed Burian, Professor, had his essay on Mexico City’s geography, environmental challenges, and recent proposals for regenerative landscapes published as a chapter in René Davids, ed., Shaping Terrain: City Building in Latin America, University Press of Florida, (2016). He also recently lectured on, “The Reinterpretation of Mayan Architecture in Mexico and the US,” at a symposium for a traveling national exhibition, Maya: Hidden Worlds Revealed, that featured Mayan artifacts and interpretative exhibits at the Witte Museum, San Antonio, TX.

 

 

 

Ian Caine, Assistant Professor, recently published an article in Log, and has work in progress for MONU, Scenario, and Lunch. He is also guest editing a special issue of Sustainability with Dr. Rebecca Walter that examines the prospects to achieve sustainable growth in suburbia. He continues his work as a researcher at the Spatial History Project at Stanford University, where he is leading an effort to create an interactive chronology that examines the suburban expansion of San Antonio, Texas. Caine also received the 2016-2017 ACSA/AIAS New Faculty Teaching Award, given to three architectural faculty nationwide for excellence in early career teaching. Additionally, Architecture 2030 included a studio curriculum that he developed with Dr. Rahman Azari in the 2016 Pilot Curriculum Project, acknowledging it as one of seven nationwide that “transform the culture of sustainable design education.” Students from this same studio have won national awards in the AIA COTE Top Ten for Students Competition in each of the last two years.

 

 

 

Antonio Petrov, Assistant Professor, had his exhibit, 1000 Parks and a Line in the Sky: Broadway, Avenue of the Future, featured at the UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures. The exhibit features a 50-foot-long model of Broadway, a street that has the potential to become San Antonio’s great urban avenue. He also recently organized a symposium, Puro- On the Edge of Future on how the term “puro” reflects layers of San Antonio’s history, culture, economy, philosophies and how it also influences the physical environment, especially with the city’s growth.

 

 

 

Shelley Roff, Associate Professor, is completing a forthcoming book, Treasure of the City: Public Construction in Late Medieval Barcelona, that illustrates the transformative role the construction of public works, monuments and urban spaces played in the crystallization of municipal power in late medieval Barcelona. The text is an urban and architectural history that grounds its theses in the city’s social, political and economic history. Her investigation of the historical development of Barcelona also includes a virtual reconstruction of the medieval city.

 

 

 

Candid Rogers, Lecturer, received awards for the design of “House 117’ as a Special Mention in the  Architzer 2017 A+Awards program in the “Architecture + Stone” category, a 2016 AIA Honor Detail Award, and an AIA Citation Design Award 2016 for the Barrera House.

ACSA Counselor and Architecture Professor earns 2016 Regan Interdisciplinary Prize

For orchestrating transformational educational experiences through innovative design studios and research initiatives that facilitate student collaboration with peers and professionals from other disciplines, Ahmed K. Ali, assistant professor of architecture, was chosen to receive the 2016 J. Thomas Regan Interdisciplinary Prize.

Established by the College of Architecture’s Dean’s Advisory Council to honor Regan, former dean of the college and champion of interdisciplinary education in the built environment disciplines, the prize is awarded annually to a faculty member selected by a faculty committee from a pool of nominees. Regan died in 2015.

In a spring 2016 studio, Ali’s students collaborated with construction science students, Gessner Engineering, the Coulter and Lily Rush Hoppess Foundation and the city of Bryan to design and build a prototype structure for vendors at the Brazos Valley Farmers Market.

The studio immersed students “in an in-depth and hands-on learning experience in the design, engineering, fabrication, and construction of the structure,” said Weiling He, associate professor of architecture, in a letter supporting Ali’s nomination.

That same studio also engaged graduate landscape architecture students, who created master plans for an historic city block in Bryan that incorporated the farmers market structures, spaces for a new visitor center building, courtyards for outdoor activities and a community garden.

“His students appreciate his direction, enthusiasm and skills in leading such complex projects,” said George Mann, professor of architecture, in a letter supporting Ali’s nomination. “His enthusiasm for teaching by doing is inspiring and I believe he is becoming one of the emerging leaders of the college.”

In fall 2016 studio, Ali’s students collaborated with Zahner Metals, General Motors and the U.S. Business Council for Sustainable Development to design building envelopes skins, and roofing systems from auto manufacturing byproducts.

“Ali is an internationally recognized academic advocating resource reuse in the construction industry,” said He. “His design innovations that employ reused materials have been published and presented in journals and conferences worldwide,” said He.

Ali, who joined the Texas A&M faculty in 2015, earned three graduate degrees at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University — a Ph.D. in 2012, a Master of Science in Architecture in 2012 and a Master of Architecture in 2004 — as well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Architecture degree at Alexandria University in Egypt in 1997.

The American University of Sharjah Department of Architecture is pleased to announce a number of award winning projects completed as part of the Design Build Initiative.

The Tarkeeb Wall, completed this fall under the guidance of Associate Professor William Sarnecky and Project Leader Layth Mahdi received the Design Award for design excellence in the Student Graduation Project Category at the 2015 AIA Middle East Design Awards. Fourteen students are credited with the completion of this project, which serves as a space for gathering and display at the entrance of the College of Architecture, Art, and Design.

Be-ah Reclaimed Wall, the culmination of the inaugural interior design build studio led by Assistant Professor Daniel Chavez received an Honorable Mention in the Student Graduation Project Category at the 2015 AIA Middle East Design Awards. Taking advantage of reclaimed material from a local landfill, the studio and project served as the culmination of the interior design degree sequence.

Completed in the summer of 2015, the AVM Pavilion led by former Professor Assistant Kenneth Tracy won a Merit Award in the Student Graduation Project Category at this year’s AIA Middle East Design Awards. Serving as the manifestation of a year long option studio, the jury “praise(d)” the student’s design process and the “quality of the end product”.

Montana State University

The School of Architecture is pleased to announce that Assistant Professor Dr. Susanne Cowan has joined the faculty at Montana State University. She received her B.A. in Landscape Architecture, and her Ph.D. in the History of Architecture and Urbanism, both from the University of California, Berkeley. Her research focuses on the relationship between urban design and the social conditions of cities, particularly regarding participatory democracy as a method for making city planning and policy decisions.

In her dissertation, “Democracy, Technocracy and Publicity: Public Consultation and British Planning, 1939-1951”, Susanne explores how architects and town planners created a forum for democratic debate about new planning policies. She recently completed an oral history documentary film, “Design as a Social Act,” which examines how architects have approached the social needs of users in the design process. In her most recent work, she has been tracing the ways that planning policies in de-industrializing cities have shaped the process of urban decay and gentrification, and what positive or negative impacts urban design interventions have had on social and economic conditions of residents.

Susanne’s interest in participatory design grows from her commitment to professional activism in the design of the built environment, demonstrated in her work as an environmental educator for Americorps, and her training as a facilitator for collaborative policy-making.

Teaching Professor John R. (Jack) Smith, ARCH.D., FAIA, NCARB, received a 2014 Citation Award from the AIA Montana Design Awards Program for his House III project in Hulen Meadows, Idaho and a 2014 AIA Idaho Honor Award.

Associate Teaching Professor Chere LeClair, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP was elected as the Northwest and Pacific AIA Regional Director.

Graduate student, Kluane Weibel, received a Merit Award for her project titled “Artic Dwelling” at the AIA Regional Student Leadership Institute Meeting.  Kluane’s advisors were Associate Professors Maire O’Neill and Chris Livingston and Professor Ralph Johnson.

Assistant Professor Bradford Watson, Associate Professor Mike Everts, and Professor John C Brittingham presented at the ACSA International Conference in Seoul Korea.  Assistant Professor Watson presented “Displaced Territories with Sean Burkholder from UBC, Associate Professor Everts presented “Creating Hybrid Programs and Predicting Their Evolution Through 4D Parametric Analysis” and Professor Brittingham presented “Unlikely Partnerships.”

Professor Fatih Rifki presented “Genesis and Epicenter of Renaissance: Florence versus Istanbul” at the 4th Annual International Conference on Architecture in Athens, Greece.
