Dean’s Message As we go to press, the high-stakes debate in Washington rages over raising the debt ceiling just days before our nation could begin defaulting on its loans. The one thing we all seem to agree upon these days is our level of disgust with the discord in Washington. How is it that our elected officials are unable to work together?

Working together is something we see as crucial in the College of Art +Design. Teachers work together to design and redesign curricula. Students and teachers work together in the classroom, and students work with each other on team projects every semester. In fact, when we have put together teams of students from our various programs to work on a design competition, they seemed to have no preconceptions about the limits of their contribution, each sharing ideas freely about architecture, art, landscape architecture and interior design, no matter their field. The bottom line is, collaboration is who we are and what we do here. Even when we disagree.

Collaboration is certainly not unique to the college.

Today’s contemporary design offices include architects, landscape architects, interior designers, preservationists, and environmentalists, as well as artists doing large scale site pieces or signature lobby works. To be successful, all of these professionals must be able to collaborate. Our College is blessed in that we have all of these players under one roof.

That said, it’s easy for us to have interdisciplinary programs, such as the College’s Coastal Sustainability Studio (CSS), a group of engineers, scientists, and designers at LSU under the direction of Assistant Professor–Research Jeff Carney. CSS works across disciplines on issues affecting the Louisiana coast, and this year, it was named the 2011 Place Research Award winner

by The Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA), an international organization based in Virginia.

Another of our very important interdisciplinary programs is the Arts, Visualization Advanced Technologies and Research (AVATAR) Initiative. Begun through the collaboration of a music professor and an art professor, AVATAR’s research and creative projects will center on Intelligent and Responsive Systems and Collaborative Digital Media Art in visual, musical and literary forms.

At the moment, AVATAR is in the process of hiring six high profile interdisciplinary scholar/artists dedicated to the study of digital media. This year, we will benefit by having two of those new AVATAR faculty teaching half time in the School of Art. A major opportunity is also on our horizon that will give all of our students both an interdisciplinary as well as an international experience during their time in the College of Art +Design (and learning from other cultures is something we would like to give all of our graduates).

Last summer, we had 24 students studying in Rome with Assistant Professor Kristi Dykema (Landscape Architecture). Next year we will double that number , with both landscape architecture and architecture students working together in a shared facility with Kristi and Assistant Professor Frank Melendez (Architecture). From there it won’t be too big a step to include students from across the college and extend the stay to a full semester. The opportunity is only matched by the major challenge of making the program financially feasible for all our CoA+D students, but we will get there.

On a final sad note, the College lost an important colleague last summer. Julian White, a retired professor of architecture, and the first black faculty member at LSU, died after a long battle with cancer. From 1971 to 2003, Julian represented the very best of teachers in the School of Architecture. He expected a lot of himself and no less of his students. While he suffered many indignities in his life, Julian never lost his dignity. He was a dear friend, and we will miss him.

Goals + Objectives

4–5

Here is how we are already meeting some of our objectives:

Develop an international perspective.

Eleven countries are currently represented by international students in the College of Art +Design, and recent service learning projects have taken students and faculty to a rural township near Cape Town, South Africa and an earthquake-devastated town in Haiti. Here at home, students and faculty in the College participated in Global Vision, an exhibition at LSU, alongside their counterparts at Kyoto Seika University in Japan.

Encourage interdisciplinary activity across the College.

Increase minority representation within the College.

The College of Art +Design’s two year old Coastal Sustainability Studio (CSS) was recently the 2011 Place Research Winner by The Environmental Design Research Association (EDRA), an international, interdisciplinary organization in McLean, Virginia, founded by design professionals, social scientists, students, educators, and facility managers. The CSS is a multidisciplinary group of engineers, scientists, and designers at LSU that works on issues affecting the Louisiana coast.

The College of Art +Design had a 38% increase in minority enrollment over the past four years. Additionally, 60% of African American Art +Design students were honored at the 2011 Black Scholars Awards Program, and The National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA) named the student chapter in the LSU School of Architecture as 2010 Student Chapter of the Year.

FYI: Graduate enrollment in the College of Art+ Design has increased 22% over the last four years.

Dean’s Message

2–3

Students at LSU’s College of Art +Design learn about art and design, and they live it. The school brings together talented faculty, specialized concentration areas, outstanding gallery spaces and a connection to the community to create dynamic programs that are ranked among the best in the nation. Here, professors challenge students to examine contemporary issues and the world around them through visual art, and they work on real-world projects for clients, community organizations and planning agencies through the school.

Our graduates are prepared to act and think creatively because the faculty values inquiry over training, and nurtures a spirit of risk taking. On the following pages, we highlight some of the learning experiences from the past year that reflect the strength and success of our programs, faculty, and students.

Architecture Students Design and Build Solar Pavilion in Old South Baton Rouge

by summer’s end. For more information, visit ymcadesignbuild.blogspot.com.

The LSU School of Architecture has partnered with the Center for Planning Excellence, the Baranco Clark YMCA and Baton Rouge Community College in a student project at the YMCA in Old South Baton Rouge. The project was to design and build an outdoor solar-powered pavilion with landscaping located in the YMCA’s yard, adjacent to the YMCA’s playground and field. The pavilion will serve YMCA members and the local community as a shaded place in which to hold after-school and summer activities, including plays and workshops.

The pavilion was designed by LSU architecture students Steven Armstrong, Marc Berard, Megan Harris and Stacy Palczynski, with the assistance of Associate Professor of Architecture Jim Sullivan. During the spring semester, the students met with members of the YMCA to design the pavilion and began its construction at the start of summer. The project was completed Highlights

Tributes School of Art Assistant Professor of Photography Jeremiah Ariaz’s work is featured in Exploring Color Photography (Elsevier/Focal Press, 2011) by Robert Hirsch. The photographs come from Ariaz’s most recent series of photographs, “Tucumcari.” As a student of photography at Kansas City Art Institute, Ariaz studied the history of photography through Robert Hirsch’s renowned, Seizing the Light: A History of Photography. “It’s a thrill to be included in Hirsch’s latest book alongside photographers such as Richard Misrach, Bill Owens, and Andreas Gursky whom I greatly admire,” he says. Ariaz’s work explores the tension between nature and the consequence of Manifest Destiny’s impulse to dominate the land. He has exhibited, delivered papers, and spoken about his work both nationally and internationally. Parts of his series, “Reconsidering Landscape” was included in the 2008 Focal Press book, Light and Lens: Photography in the Digital Age. To view more of Ariaz’s images, visit www.jeremiahariaz.com.

School of Art Associate Professor Ed Smith was the

featured artist in The Southern Review’s winter 2011 issue. Smith’s work, which deals with the boundaries at which nature and man collide, has been exhibited at P.S.1 in Long Island City, New York, Whitney Art Works in Portland, Maine, Dartmouth College in Hanover New Hampshire, The Walter Anderson Museum in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and the Contemporary Art Center in New Orleans. His concern for the environment began when he signed on as a crew member at age 17 for the Fund for Animals conservation ship, The Sea Shepherd, on a mission to rescue Harbor Seals in Canada. Smith has taught in the College of Art +Design for 13 years. He had a solo show at Soren Christensen Gallery in New Orleans (which represents him) last month, and will have another at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis, Massachusetts in 2013.

Ed Smith’s paintings in the current issue of The Southern Review are so good, I woke up at 3 a.m. to see them again.

Interior Design Students and Faculty win International Interior Design Association Awards Two LSU Interior Design students and two Interior Design faculty recently won awards at the International Interior Design Association’s (IIDA) Delta Regional Chapter Awards in New Orleans. The Delta Regional Chapter includes interior designers in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

Professional-in-Residence Matthew Edmonds and Instructor Tracy Burns, both principals of Commercial Design Interiors (CDI), placed in three of 16 categories. CDI won the Award of Excellence in Hospitality Design for “The Body Café” for which café owners requested a design that combined the social scene of a coffee shop, the niche market of a health conscious café, and the wellness products of a life supplement store. CDI also won an Award of Recognition in Institutional Design for

Service Learning NAS JRB Credit Union, and an Award of Excellence in Residential Design for a vacation home in Orange Beach.

ID Students Design Drug Treatment Center for Baton Rouge

Students Christine Diggs, and Beverly Gaudin, respectively won an Award of Excellence for “Immense Networks” and an Award of Recognition for “Baton Rouge Art & Cultural Center.” Diggs was inspired by the sleek design of the classic children’s toy the Slinky to design the office space for a young IT Firm. Gaudin’s project creates a cultural center in downtown Baton Rouge.

Last fall, 39 students from the junior interior design studio worked collaboratively on a service-learning project with the Baton Rouge Area Alcohol and Drug Center (BRAADC), designing a new and expanded treatment center for the in-patient facility. With an extensive waiting list of more than 100 patients, BRAADC is planning to move from its existing facility on Florida Boulevard to a larger building across the street that will be donated by the city of Baton Rouge.

In anticipation of the move, design students came up with dozens of innovative ideas for a dorm-like facility with a contemporary feel that would include space for 70 in-patient beds, 100 outpatient beds, office space for counselors and employees, and adequate back-of-house service spaces. In late November, five of the students presented their conceptual designs at a BRAADC event, “Giving Thanks: Attitudes of Gratitude” at the Shaw Center for the Arts in downtown

Baton Rouge. But BRAADC officials were impressed with all of the students’ designs and hope to incorporate many of their suggestions and ideas into their final plans for the facility. “Designing for BRAADC made me realize the importance of being able to design for all different types of people; especially those with special needs,” said Angie Portier, a student from Baton Rouge. “Working on a service-learning project teaches the impact of good design on people’s lives and the community.”

FYI: This year, Interior Design students made up 10% of LSU’s Distinguished Communicator graduates. The LSU Distinguished Communicator certification is a unique program that helps students elevate their skills in all areas of communication including writing, speaking, visual presentations and technological communication.

Awards Associate Professor and Landscape Architect Lake Douglas’s book, Public Spaces, Private Gardens (released May 2011 by LSU Press) recently won two prestigious publication awards.

The Foundation for Landscape Studies in New York City awarded the book $5,000 for its annual David R. Coffin Publication Grant. Named in honor of the late professor of architecture at Princeton University and pioneer scholar of landscape and garden history, the David R. Coffin Publication Grant is awarded annually to an author or publisher of an English-language book-inprogress that advances scholarship in the field of garden history and landscape studies.

The New York City based J.M. Kaplan Fund awarded the book $5,000 through its Furthermore Grant in Publishing. The Furthermore program concentrates on nonfiction book publishing about cities; natural and historic resources; art, architecture, and design; cultural history; and civil liberties and other public

issues of the day. Both grants support the book’s production costs.

Public Spaces, Private Gardens is the first in-depth examination of New Orleans’ landscape history. In it, Douglas employs written accounts, archival data, historic photographs, lithographs, maps, and city planning documents— many of which have never before been published—to explore public and private outdoor spaces in New Orleans and those who shaped them.

Service Learning The LSU Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture engaged a group of students last year in a planning and design project to help rebuild a coastal city in Haiti devastated in the 2010 earthquake.

The 15 students worked on the project throughout the fall semester in their urban design studio, under the direction of Associate Professor Austin Allen, who led them on a site visit to Haiti in late October. The group spent seven days in Haiti, primarily in the badly-damaged historic district of Jacmel, a city on the Caribbean coast.

The thrust of the students’ project was to focus on urban design strategies for the Jacmel historic district which has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. In recent years, Jacmel has evolved into something of an arts district, though its history stretches back to the Colonial Age of Exploration, when it was a major hub of Haiti’s coffee and indigo export businesses.

On their visit, the students stayed in a hotel within the historic district site of the studio that was damaged during the January earthquake, so they could better understand the challenges and realities of rebuilding in the area. They were joined by graduate landscape architecture students from Morgan State University, in Baltimore, who collaborated with them on the project.

Austin and the students worked closely with the Jacmel mayor’s office on the project, as well as the Port of Jacmel, the Ministry of Tourism for the city, and several private property owners. The project was facilitated by the Louisiana/Haiti Sustainable Village Project, an organization created in the aftermath of the earthquake.

“The idea behind the organization was not so much to create another non-profit relief agency,” said Allen, who was the School’s Inaugural Marie Bickham Endowed Chair and has since joined the School’s faculty officially.

“Rather, it was to share with Haitians the lessons learned four and a half years after Katrina.”

FYI: The LSU Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture has the best undergraduate program in the nation, according to national rankings released by Design Intelligence, the leading journal of the design professions. The School’s graduate program is ranked No. 2, according to the results of the 2010 survey.

The School has consistently ranked among the Top 5 programs in the country since the rankings were devised nearly a decade ago.

Walter Bortolossi Bortolossi is considered the foremost representative of Italian Post-Pop Art, and is known for his kaleidoscopic compositions that critically and ironically dissect the sacred cows of post-industrial societies: mass media, information technology, scientific progress, addictive consumerism, omnipresent entertainment, and the struggles over economic power and globalization. Since 1991, he has exhibited in more than 100 public and private venues around the world.

Some examples are “Nuove contaminazini” at the Modern Art Gallery in Udine, “Fine Weather” at the Ludwig Museum of Contemporary Art in Budapest and “Va pensiero” at the Museo Civico in Turin. Some of his works have been purchased by the Modern Art Gallery of Udine and make up part of the permanent collection.

Culturally and geographically he regards himself as a Mittel-European. Bortolossi takes the deliriums of Austrian-Italian-Hungarian Jugendstil from the old Secession school to extremes, picking up the distinct sense of the disarming, decadent decoration, but in the place of the golds and the late Bzyantine quotations he places the contradictions of the philosophical and scientific thought of the twentieth century, mixing them with the icons of popular imagery, In contrast with many artists of the same generation who use figurative imagery Bortolossi’s painting is mainly a work of theory, where nothing is left to chance, and where every detail corresponds to a precise choice that must occupy a precise position within each project.

Patricio del Real Patricio del Real’s primary research focuses on the construction of a Latin American imaginary through modern architecture during the early years of the Cold War, and he is currently a PhD candidate in architectural history and theory at Columbia University in New York. He is presently co-editing an anthology titled, Latin American Modern Architectures: Ambiguous Territories, which will be published by Routledge in 2012.

Del Real has taught architecture since 1991 at universities throughout the Americas and Europe. In 2001, while teaching at Clemson University, he jointly developed Studio South, a community-based design build program, which received the 2004 ACSA Collaborative Practice Award. He has lectured in Berlin, Montevideo, Paris, Mexico City and Havana, and given seminars at Royal College of Arts in London, England, the Universidad Torcuato di Tella, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the University of Puerto Rico, and the Cooper Union in New York. In 2004, he co-organized “Inside Havana,” which brought together architecture students from Italy, Spain and Cuba in a two-week long architectural studio in Havana.

Del Real has practiced architecture in the United States, Spain and Chile and participated in the International Biennial of Architecture in Havana, Cuba, since its inception.

In 2004, he received a Graham Foundation Fellowship to support his ongoing research on contemporary vernacular constructions in Havana, where he has also participated in the construction of informal structures. His essays on issues of modernity in Latin America have appeared in journals such as Radical History Review, AULA, Pasajes, Positions, the Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies and AD: Architectural Design.

Before moving to New York for his doctoral work, he served as the Director of the Clemson University Architecture Center in Barcelona, Spain.

Faculty Accomplishments Professor of Landscape Architecture Max Conrad

Chair of Department of Interior Design T.L. Ritchie

Conrad was on a team of landscape architects that took 3rd prize in a competition to design a drainage canal for Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. Jefferson Parish has a system of 340 miles of criss-crossing drainage canals and ditches. Parish President John Young highlighted the importance of drainage canals that attract neighbors, as opposed to being eyesores, saying, “If you visit an area and get lost in its charm and beauty, you are more likely to stay longer or return more quickly.” The firms entering the competition were encouraged to be practical and create a canal that would not adversely affect water flow, or be so elaborate and expensive, that the design could not be implemented.

Twelve judges, ranging from landscape architects and engineers to business and finance experts, evaluated the seven finalists and came up with the winners.

Professor Ritchie was appointed to serve on the National Council for Interior Design Qualification’s (NCIDQ) Nominating Committee for 2010. The Nominating Committee is charged with reviewing applicants for the NCIDQ Board of Directors and nominating qualified candidates for election to the Board. “Our volunteer committee members are the backbone of our organization,” says NCIDQ Executive Director Jeffrey F. Kenney. “Their dedication and contribution to our mission of public protection illustrate their commitment to the profession of interior design. We know T.L. will be a wonderful asset to the Nominating Committee.” NCIDQ is an organization of regulatory boards and provincial associations in the United States and Canada whose core purpose is to protect the health, life safety and welfare of the public by establishing standards of competence in the practice of interior design.

Professor of Art Frederick Ortner Painter Frederick Ortner, who teaches in the College of Art & Design, had work chosen for The Prince Street Gallery’s 2011 National Juried Exhibition as well as The First Street Gallery’s 2011 National Juried Show. Both galleries are located in Manhattan.

For the Prince Street Gallery’s show this year, 65 works were selected from 923 images submitted nationwide. The juror was William Bailey, a Professor Emeritus at the Yale School of Art, and an artist whose work is represented in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art.

Instructor of Art Jacqueline Dee Parker Painter and Poet Jacqueline Dee Parker had work chosen for “Spectrum,” a group show at Avis Frank, a contemporary art gallery in Galveston, Texas, as well as “Seeing Music,” a group invitational at the Garden District Gallery in New Orleans. The latter featured the work of artists exploring visual interpretations of music.

Professional in Residence of Architecture Marsha Cuddeback Professor Cuddeback, also director of the Office of Community Design and Development (OCDD), brought a group of students from the LSU College of Art and Design to South Africa as part of a service-learning project in August. Students worked in a rural township south of Cape Town where they used their skills and design expertise to improve the conditions of two preschools. The 17-day program, facilitated by the Office of Community Design and Development (OCDD), brought together students of various levels from the School of Architecture, Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture and Department of Interior Design, and enabled them to earn course credit in the concentration of community design studies.

Associate Professor of Art History Darius Spieth Professor Spieth, in collaboration with the artist Walter Bortolossi, produced the catalog, All That Happened Had To Happen, which chronicles Bortolossi’s paintings in his first solo US exhibition at the LSU School of Art Glassell Gallery. In addition to showcasing Bortolossi’s work, Professor Spieth’s writing in the catalog explores the coexistence of “high” and “popular” culture, as well as tension between past and present.

Dean’s Message

2–3

The College of Art +Design’s Development Office had a very successful year of fundraising in spite of the turbulent financial markets. In its 12th year, the development staff continued to raise funds in support of the College’s various programs.

The total value of financial assets in the College as of the fiscal year-end is at a record high of approximately $13.9 million. This figure represents a growth of approximately 3.1% over last year’s total value. The College proudly exceeded its goal for the Forever LSU Campaign by 4.3%.

Now more than ever, the College strives to engage and reengage its alumni and to seek their support and update them on the successful things happening in the College. The development staff sends these updates via electronic mail and publishes an annual newsletter in the spring and an annual report in the fall.

Last year was an exceptionally good year for donations as reflected by the following numbers: • Lecture Series up by 6.1% • Scholarships up by 4.1% • Miscellaneous Gifts up by 18.9%

The development office staff continues to work with the dean, school directors and department chair to identity alumni and friends who may be able to lend support to the College. Current and potential donors are stewarded to maximize their giving to the College and identify their area of interest. The students, faculty and staff thank the loyal supporters who are helping to maintain and exceed the giving level achieved last year.

Funding Opportunities 2010–2011 Leadership Fund

Lecture Series

Contributions to the College’s leadership fund enhance each program by providing opportunities for student leadership training, national student professional organization support, and faculty leadership development. Leadership funds are critical for the Schools if they are to graduate young artists and designers who will guide tomorrow’s professions and assume leadership roles in the local community. Support of this fund permits students to attend national conferences, participate in leadership training workshops and seminars, and supports unique leadership-related events. These funds also support faculty development in the area of leadership and mentoring programs.

The Leadership Development Fund is part of the value-added educational initiative developed by the College to enhance student learning experiences and outcomes.

The College Art +Design Distinguished Lecture Series Fund seeks funding to bring nationally and internationally acclaimed architects, interior designers, landscape architects, graphic designers, art historians, as well as fine artists to the LSU campus for the benefit of students and the general public. The Art +Design lecture series expands the learning environment for students by encouraging a spirit of risk taking through the example of others, exciting an appetite for thinking and nurturing the capacity to create. At the same time, the visiting lecture series reaffirms the College’s land-grant mission while increasing cultural capital through service to the Louisiana arts and cultural community through a distinctive public education program. Since its inception in 1999, a total of 126 lectures have been given; with 17 lectures sponsored by the Schools of Architecture, Art and Landscape Architecture and 109 lectures sponsored by alumni, corporations and generous individuals.

Scholarship The College of Art +Design Student Scholarship Fund was established to create scholarship awards for both graduate students and undergraduates in the disciplines of architecture, art, art history, community design, graphic design, interior design and landscape architecture. Scholarship support has assumed a higher priority for two reasons. One, the College is increasingly competing against other national programs for the very best, high-achieving, high school and graduate students; two, expenses are constantly rising for a quality education.

Currently, students admitted to the College’s programs exceed the average test scores for entering undergraduates at LSU. This is an indication of the individual Schools’ strength within the university and the value others see in our efforts. However, as we actively recruit National Merit Scholars and other high performing students, we find we cannot be competitive with other institutions in the region because of our limited scholarship resources. If we are to meet our strategic objectives, we will need to offer financial incentives to effectively recruit the very best students. Undergraduate and graduate student scholarships will assist us in meeting our goals. On the average, 148 scholarships are awarded yearly by the College.

Distinguished Faculty Fund

Highschool Career Discovery Workshop

Two ingredients make a great school: outstanding students and creative faculty. The Distinguished Faculty Fund seeks to provide professorships and a chair to reward outstanding faculty and augment our faculty ranks with national and international artists, designers and scholars.

In this workshop, participants will meet professional designers, learn how they work, and learn how they prepared for their careers. As part of the workshop, students will explore design ideas in studios, go on field-trips, attend lectures, and participate in critiques and seminars. Through their experiences, the participants will learn what a design professional does, how they become licensed and the opportunities available in the fields of Architecture and Interior Design. The workshop is sponsored by the School of Architecture, the Department of Interior Design, and the College of Art +Design.

Studio Sponsorship The College Art +Design seeks funding for studio sponsorships in all four units of the College. Sponsors will be invited to student reviews, to design studios and to work with students. Funding will be used to offset the costs of field trips, publications and printing. The interaction between the students and sponsors will expand the learning environment for the students, since they will be interacting and visiting with professionals in their fields.

The workshop is a one week residential program held during the summer. Housing is in the campus dorms and meals are provided the cafeteria for the duration of the workshop. Scholarships are awarded to applicants based on financial need.

Renovation Fund The College Renovation Master Plan identifies rehabilitations to all four College buildings and three adjacent exterior spaces that distinguish the College on campus. Naming opportunities have been identified with spaces in all the buildings. To commemorate the gift, each area will have a stainless steel plaque announcing the donor’s gift. Additionally, each donor’s name will be inscribed on the Renovation Fund plaque housed in the College atrium.

We are pleased to introduce the 2011 College of Art +Design Annual Report. Once again, the publication was designed by the Graphic Design Student Office (GDSO).

These students experience the full process of producing the Annual Report, including meeting with the copy editor and production team, visiting the printer, creating presentations of design concepts for critiques, selecting artwork and following the project through to completion. Our appreciation extends to the GDSO, whose hard work and creativity helped to make this publication possible.

The Annual Report was produced with Adobe InDesign CS4. The text is set in 9 pt Minion Pro. It is printed on 80# McCoy Velvet White text.
