Foreword from the Dean The 2013–14 Annual Report you are about to peruse is an account of work in progress and last year’s achievements of the College of Art & Design community: faculty and staff, students and alumni, donors and friends.

This has been a year of multifaceted change and renewal across campus. The LSU flagship agenda is providing the guiding principles of this renewal. Our college continues to pioneer initiatives that support and extend the university’s mission and vision. Experienced long-time faculty and a highly energetic, innovative, and diverse group of 13 new faculty are working towards making the goals of the flagship agenda a reality.

Discovery: The LSU Coastal Sustainability Studio continues to lead applied research efforts in collaboration with the College of Engineering and the School of the Coast & Environment. A planning grant by the Keck Foundation will result in expanded funding of undergraduate research to support the LSU Discover quality enhancement program. Faculty and students from all units are working with CCT, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Construction Management on new courses, joint programs, and research.

Learning: Not only has “the studio” survived financial storms but its pedagogy has become an example for other disciplines, replacing the lecture/lab/exam model. Digital technologies are giving the studio new innovative forms. Our college is also leading the way with internships and externships, engaging students in hands-on learning, and opening the doors of professional and creative practice.

Diversity: Faculty have published books, exhibited work, and presented papers nationally and internationally from Japan, Korea, and China to Europe and the Middle East—expanding opportunities for international study, exchanges, and collaborations. Our students have been studying away and abroad from Virginia to the United Arab Emirates. We are welcoming increasingly diverse students representing different cultural, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

Engagement: Students and faculty have worked with local civic and community organizations including the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, the Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority, and the Mid City Redevelopment Alliance. Our students’ projects are becoming the foundation for future development. Our community engagement has extended internationally with LSU teams working with both government and non-governmental organizations in Haiti.

Alumni, donors, and friends have provided invaluable material and moral support for all these initiatives. As we welcome a new academic year, we will appreciate your continued presence in our midst. Our new website, as well as our Quad Mail e-newsletter and Quad alumni magazine, will keep you posted on the progress of work and on events and celebrations. Let this foreword be a standing invitation.

Au revoir!

Discovery Generate and instill professional knowledge in the fields of art, architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture through transformative research and creative activities that address contemporary and enduring issues.

Delta Research Studio to Open Doors for Trans-Disciplinary Undergraduate Research at LSU In spring 2014, the LSU Coastal Sustainability Studio (CSS), a trans-disciplinary program of the College of Art & Design, School of the Coast & Environment, and College of Engineering, was awarded a $50,000 grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation to support planning for a new multidisciplinary undergraduate research curriculum increasing student competencies to conduct and apply research to solve Louisiana’s critical coastal challenges. A team of researchers is working with faculty and staff to develop the curriculum, which will allow architecture and landscape architecture majors, among others, to obtain a trans-disciplinary research minor.

Once the planning stage is complete, CSS will apply for an additional W. M. Keck Foundation grant to implement the developed plan. Based in Los Angeles, the W. M. Keck Foundation was established in 1954 by the late W. M. Keck, founder of Superior Oil Company. The foundation’s grant making is focused primarily on pioneering efforts in the areas of medical research, science, engineering, and undergraduate education.

The program aims to establish internships with firms throughout the Gulf South and secure a workspace to become a dedicated Delta Research Studio.

“This kind of interaction will have a powerful impact on the state’s future coastal workforce. Bridging research and practice through collaborative, project-based learning has the potential to be transformative for LSU and for the future of coastal research and practice,” said Jeff Carney, associate professor of architecture and director of CSS.

Learning Enhance a faculty-led and student-centered learning environment that develops engaged citizens and enlightened leaders.

Designing for the Future The terrain of southern Louisiana and the Mississippi River offers College of Art & Design students unique opportunities to lead the way in developing and researching sustainable designs in dynamic coastal environments, and national organizations and businesses are taking notice, including the Dredge Research Collaborative and Chevron.

The Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture hosted DredgeFest Louisiana workshops at LSU in January 2014. Organized by the Dredge Research Collaborative, DredgeFest is a roving conference and workshop series, an encounter between government agencies, designers, theorists, academics, corporate practitioners, industry experts, students, and the public. Internationally renowned designers came to LSU’s campus to lead fast-paced, intensive, and speculative small-group design workshops, which were open to all LSU landscape architecture students, free of charge.

Students in A. Hays Town Professor of Architecture Ursula Emery McClure’s graduate-level studio were asked to design a shore base in Venice, Louisiana, to house Chevron’s oil refinery workers and operations. The studio, a mix of architecture and landscape architecture students, questioned the relationship between humans and the natural

world and sought resolutions that would create a more symbiotic relationship between these forces that are often in direct opposition. The students were encouraged to consider futuristic designs and concepts. They even read the science fiction book by Moira Crone, The Not Yet, which helped them establish the proper mindset for the project.

“It was an amazing opportunity for the students,” said Emery McClure. “If any industry has the know-how and resources to implement futuristic designs, it’s the oil industry.”

These interdisciplinary studios and research collaborations provide College of Art & Design students with the knowledge to solve real-life problems in the built environment.

Diversity Strengthen the intellectual environment by broadening the cultural diversity of the College of Art & Design to promote understanding others.

Promoting Cultural Understanding through Art The College of Art & Design aims to encourage and promote diversity in multiple ways: by immersing students in community projects that help them understand and empathize with the needs of others less fortunate than themselves; by providing opportunities for students to embrace other cultures, on and off campus, through study abroad programs or learning from visiting scholars; by bringing renowned cultural leaders to campus to interact with students and the community; and more.

The Nadine Carter Russell Chair enables the college to annually bring a prominent artist, designer, or scholar to campus. This year, the rotating professorship was hosted by the School of Art, and New York sculpture artist Nari Ward was offered the residency position. Born in St. Andrews, Jamaica, Ward came to the United States as a young boy. Since 1993, he has lived and worked in Harlem, collecting the neighborhood’s discarded objects for use in his work. Social injustice, citizenship, poverty, consumerism, and race are all themes of his work, and Ward articulates multilayered issues that affect all communities, reflecting how these factors shape a society.

One of the foremost New York art galleries, Lehmann Maupin, represents Ward and sells his work internationally to private collectors and museums. Ward has received commissions from the United Nations and World Health Organization and awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York Foundation for the Arts, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, and the Pollock Krasner Foundation.

Through his lectures, his work with LSU students, and his exhibition at the LSU Museum of Art, Ward has shown School of Art students how he “puts art in service to something that is, declaratively, more important than art,� (Peter Schjeldahl, The New Yorker).

Academic Programs Abroad We believe that travel is crucial to an education in art and design. While College of Art & Design students make up three percent of the total university’s student body, our students are responsible for 25 percent of the university’s international travel. Our faculty develop and direct a variety of Academic Programs Abroad in a range of countries. Programs in architecture, art, interior design, and landscape architecture offer a variety of opportunities for students to travel in the way that works best for them. Students participated in the following programs in the 2013-14 academic year (July 1, 2013, to June 30, 2014).

Art in New York City May 20–31, 2014

Contemporary Dutch Design May 20–June 5, 2014

Program director: Associate Professor Loren

Program director: Associate Professor Greg

For two weeks, the classroom is the numerous cultural institutions of New York City. Students explore the visual art offerings in New York, noting especially installation art, public art, performance, and digital media. Fieldtrips included visits to the Museum of Art and Design, Whitney Museum of American Art, Chelsea Art Galleries, the Museum of Modern Art, various artists’ studios, and DIA Beacon.

Amsterdam and the Netherlands have a renowned cultural infrastructure in public and private museums, galleries, and institutes. Students spent time in Amsterdam and other major cities in the Netherlands where they developed a research proposal on a topic or project they could directly observe and experience within the categories of architecture, interior, graphic, and industrial design.

Survey of Graphic Design History April 11–19, 2014

Program director: Professor Michael Desmond, School of Architecture

Program director: Assistant Professor Richard Doubleday, School of Art

The program uses the rich heritage of Berlin’s built environment to introduce students to the changing elements of architectural design and the evolution of urban space from Baroque to modernity. During a series of lectures and guided tours to different districts, students examined the historical record and material culture of commercial, governmental, and residential buildings, churches, monuments, theaters, museums, railway stations, parks, squares, and bridges.

Students enrolled in the spring 2014 survey of graphic design history course (ART 4561) traveled to London for 10 days over spring break.

The excursion focused on the history of graphic design in London, with particular emphasis on the contribution and influence of graphic design work by British-born artists. Students visited important graphic design firms and publishers, including Baseline Magazine, Pentagram, Why Not Associates, and Vaughan Oliver. Students also visited many of London’s cultural highlights.

Engagement Promote engagement of faculty, staff, and students in reaching out to transform communities.

Excellence in Community Service Quality service learning experiences demonstrate excellence in community service and excellence in education. In fall 2013, College of Art & Design students aimed to transform the Mid City Baton Rouge community through ser vice learning projects that required their skills in architecture and interior design.

LSU School of Architecture and Southern University architecture students collaborated on a workforce development project for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul during the 2013 Mid City Studio Food + Shelter project. The students were asked to develop ideas for a fresh produce market and café that would engage St. Vincent de Paul’s workforce development program while providing healthier food options to Mid City residents. The students met with representatives of the Mid City Redevelopment Alliance, the East Baton Rouge Redevelopment Authority, St. Vincent de Paul, and Councilwoman Tara Wicker to build relationships with residents and business owners. They hosted community engagement events, set up feedback panels in four Mid City locations, and turned over their designs to St. Vincent de Paul and the Mid City Redevelopment Alliance to help raise money and promote the project.

LSU Department of Interior Design students performed a series of home modifications at the House of Destiny, a Mid City property owned and operated by Metamorphosis Inc., a nonprofit organization that provides transitional housing to homeless women, veterans, and their children.

Using their design skills to help the community also provided students the opportunity to learn about critical issues such as accessibility, security, and the personal space needs for special housing and the impact of interior design services on creating quality environments. “We gained a better understanding of the needs of those less fortunate and the ways we can help them,” said Madeleine Rappold, president of the Interior Design Student Organization. “It felt great to come together for such a deserving cause.”

The Neil G. Odenwald Distinguished Professorship Dr. Neil G. Odenwald served as a professor and director at the LSU Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture. He has significantly impacted the people and gardens of the South through his love of plant materials and plant design. The Neil G. Odenwald Distinguished Professorship will be used to recruit and retain outstanding faculty focused on instruction in plant materials, planting design, and natural systems, ensuring these subjects remain prominent in the landscape architecture curriculum. To establish the Neil G. Odenwald Distinguished Professorship, the college needs to raise $180,000. Once that amount is raised, the fund will be submitted for a match of $120,000 from the Louisiana State Board of Regents. As of June 30, 2014, the college had raised $89,600.

The College of Art & Design gratefully acknowledges the support from the alumni, individuals, and corporate sponsors who have contributed to the Neil G. Odenwald Distinguished Professorship thus far.
