THE YEAR IN REVIEW: 2010-2011

THE YEAR IN REVIEW:

2010-2011 Message from the Dean: The 2010-11 academic year was another good year for the MSU School of Architecture and Planning (SA+P). This Annual Report is a reflection of the hard work of our faculty, staff, and students. All are on board to advance our School’s mission and to raise our visibility in the local, national, and global scene. One of the major highlights of the year was the successful accreditation site visits for the City and Regional Planning and the Graduate Architecture programs. Both the Planning Accreditation Board and the National Architectural Accrediting Board were impressed with our accomplishments and the diverse culture that SA+P nurtures. I appreciate all those who contributed to these significant endeavors. The year also marked key milestones in our School’s history. The new Bachelor of Science in Construction Management program began in fall 2010 with twelve students. Furthermore, the Bachelor of Science in Architecture and Environmental Design experienced a remarkable spike in its enrollment. In spite of our growth, however, we continue to provide quality education to our students. The faculty have planned meaningful learning opportunities (i.e., field trips, charrettes, design/build projects, guest lecturers and professional juries, etc…) for students to understand the complexities of their professions. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.

SA+P continues to lead the campus in organizing trips abroad for our students. During the academic year, our students travelled to India, Korea, and Haiti. The stories they brought back were amazing and I know their life perspectives have changed. I applaud the faculty members who painstakingly went far and beyond their call of duty to prepare the logistics for these trips and cared for our students while they were abroad. We look forward to the completion of our new home, the Center for Building Environment and Infrastructure Studies (CBEIS). Construction is on schedule and within the budget. We anticipate moving immediately after the May 2012 graduation. I know this significant change will impact our students’ educational experience, enhance our student enrollment, expand our research capabilities, and provide a space to connect with the engineering and transportation disciplines. CBEIS will attract practitioners, private companies, and the community at large, who will be curious about what we do at SA+P. When you read this 2010-11 Annual Report, you know we have been busy. Thanks to all who have focused their time, energies, and, yes, personal resources to continue building the MSU School of Architecture and Planning and Morgan State University as the premier urban institution in Maryland.

The Bachelor of Science in Construction Management welcomed its first class in the Fall of 2010. These students transferred from the undergraduate program in Architecture and Environmental Design, Civil Engineering, and from regional community colleges. Our first faculty memeber and director, Dr. Walter Dukes, was hired in January 2011 to grow the program and obtain accreditation from the American Council for Construction Education. Although we estimate a conservative student growth rate of 30% annually, we anticipate a spike in student enrollment after obtaining accreditation in about three years. ��

Master of City and Regional Planning The accredited graduate program in City and Regional Planning (CRP) supports Morgan’s urban mission by addressing the specific social, political and economic concerns of urban areas, utilizing Baltimore as a proximate lab setting.

��

Master of Landscape Architecture The Master of Landscape Architecture Program (MLA) is an accredited graduate program that offers the pursuit of an urban-based education focusing on the design, planning, and management of the land.

The School of Architecture and Planning is growing steadily. In Fall 2010, a 20% increase was reported for the total enrollment in the five academic programs. The most significant growth occurred in the undergraduate program in Architecture and Environmental Design. The graduate programs continue to show a more stable pattern of growth. Of interest is the anticipated growth in the landscape architecture program this coming Fall 2011. ��

Bachelor of Science in Construction Management Launched in the Fall 2010 semester, this is a four-year program that educates students in basic construction management principles and practices and their application to sustainable construction projects.

Master of Architecture The Master of Architecture (M. Arch.) is an accredited program geared towards the dual objectives of preparing students both for employability in quality design professional offices and leadership roles as licensed public and private sector architects.

President David Wilson’s Visit to SA+P

In June, a visit from Morgan State University Presdient David Wilson offered a chance to reflect on our accomplishments and plan for the future.

The exterior of the NAAB Team Room was a presence on campus, increasing SA+P’s visibility.

The National Architectural Accreditation Board (NAAB), and the Planning Accreditation Board (PAB), both conducted site visits to Morgan State University in 2011 to review our Master of Architecture program and our Planning program.

The Fabrication Lab includes a full woodshop, a Materials supply Center that allows students to purchase modelmaking equipment without leaving the building or the campus, and a 50 Watt Laser Cutter available for digital fabrication.

Strategic goal: In our teaching and curriculum, SA+P will ensure that we provide the most current content for innovative and critical knowledge and skill development.

SA+P fosters knowledge and appreciation for the cultures and contributions of diverse segments of humanity and their environments. We promote the inclusion of students who have been traditionally excluded from the study of the built and natural environments.

ARCH 418: History & Theory Seminar | AfricanAmerican Architects and the Built Environment. Twelve students conducted research on past and present African-American architects and their contributions to the built environment, both past and present. Under my direction the students supervised research and findings have been compiled into a documentary, online resource and publishable works. Note: Less than 2% of all architects are African-American and African-American students only account for 7% of all architecture students in the nation.

The former residence of civil rights activist Lillie Carroll Jackson, located at 1320 N. Eutaw Place in Baltimore is now owned by Morgan State University, In 2005, Barbara Mobarak followed the initiative of Dr. Gabriel Tenabe to save the deterioration structure along with members of the Mitchell family. Archival research, architectural survey work by students in her class at Morgan and private foundation support contributed to the allocation of $1.6 million dollars in state funding that is currently being utilized for the renovation fo this historic site. Occupancy is expected in the Spring of 2012.

SA+P Design > Faculty Work Creative Alliance Cafe, Pi.Kl (Kuo Pao Lian & BSAED Lecturer Pavlina Ilieva) with Kroiz Architecture (BASAED Director and Assistant Professor Gabriel Kroiz) This is the last piece of a 10-year redevelopment of the former Patterson Theater into an urban arts center and community anchor. The found surfaces, board-cast concrete resting on steel beams of the ceiling and the blackened brick interior of the building facade, provided rich natural materiality. The logic for new materials pursued a complementary materiality and a thematic connection to an essential Baltimore palette. The bar is clad in hot-rolled steel plate reflecting the existing structural steel and blackened brick. Its white marble top illuminates its patrons and recalls the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marble stoops. The end walls, which conceal the kitchen and form the main entry, are clad in reclaimed floor joist from neighboring row houses.

Design > Faculty Work The Urbanite Project Open City Challenge Red Line Competition Entry: Clunkers for Planters, by Paul W. Clarke (SA+P Asistant Professor, Department of Architecture) This open ended design and ideas competition sought proposals to mitigate the construction phase of Baltimoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest light rail line. This proposal is to create a dense, but moveable, scrim of vegetation to mitigate the noise and dust fo the construction of the Red Line. This sylvan screen will limit the pedestrian view into the construction zone and maintain the ambience of the sidewalk access to adjacent businesses which can remain operating while the light rail is created. The planters will temporarily occupy the parking lane of the street, and will be moved as construction is completed in one area and relocated to the next stretch of Red Line construction.
