letter from the dean the michigan difference
As 2007 comes to a close, we take our hats off to those who made donations over the year. We are sincerely thankful for these contributions, which come in many sizes, forms, and colors. Sometimes it is donated time and labor, but most typically it is a monetary gift. We make no secret that we like the color of “greenback” contributions, because they help underwrite the ever-higher cost of higher education—that most labor-intensive endeavor to which colleges and universities are dedicated. Whether a modest cash contribution or a large estate gift, they all add up to a better education for the next generation, which is essential to the functioning and well-being of the community, the nation, and the world. This year, we were blessed with many cash gifts, over $1.1 million, the second highest total ever.

We also received a magnanimous estate commitment from James van Sweden (B.Arch.’60), which will both endow a professorship and increase his current scholarship fund. We also doff our caps to Alan (B.S.’82) and Cynthia Berkshire (A.B.’83), whose centennial challenge raised $30,000 from 278 donors, significantly increasing the number of contributors this year. Their own generous $100,000 gift has endowed the Centennial Travel Fund for students. With matches, the endowment already has a market value of $132,000—enough to annually fly as many as 10 students abroad. A number of alums have started endowments for needy undergraduates in response to the President’s Challenge. See page 32 for campaign news and update. The campaign ends in one year, December 31, 2008. Including estate pledges, we have already surpassed our $40 million original campaign goal! And with your help, we can reach our revised goal of $43 million, which was increased to include the building addition.

The Centennial Travel Fund brings up a different type of green— “sustainability.” A buzz word to be sure, but as Associate Professor of Urban Planning Scott Campbell pointed out many years ago, it’s a helpful and essential word in the public dialogue about the environment despite its sometimes vague meaning. Another useful environmental term is “carbon footprint,” a metric for carbon dioxide emissions, typically released by the burning of fossil fuels. CO2 is the primary “greenhouse gas” (GHG) that traps solar radiation and heats up the earth. Scientists are now alarmed that the temperature rise is happening at a faster rate than originally predicted. Whether you believe the prevailing scientific explanations and predictions or not, there’s scant remaining doubt that we earthlings are in for some troubling if not cataclysmic global climate change. There now is widespread agreement among climate scientists that some additional temperature rise is already in the system. This increase is guaranteed to happen because some of the greenhouse gas humans have pumped into the atmosphere will remain there for years. The good news is that irreversible overheating and environmental disasters are preventable if we act soon and decisively. Act we must! Act we will!

Travel—the many vehicular trips we make each day—produces a big and growing share of greenhouse gas. Members of our urban and regional planning faculty, including Jonathan Levine, Joe Grengs, Chris Leinberger and Sue Zielinski, are working to reveal how better land use patterns and walkable urbanism can make for less frequent and shorter trips, with a commensurate reduction in energy consumption, pollution, and greenhouse gas production. It is an exciting and crucial “sustainable mobility” project that includes UM’s Center for the Study of Complex Systems. (There are

other faculty working on sustainable buildings and cities, but there is not room enough in this letter to discuss their work.) And there’s air travel, which is roughly twice as deleterious to the biosphere per mile than surface transportation. (It usually entails more miles of travel). We have brewing a true dilemma, perhaps a Greek tragedy: for long trips we all now depend on flying. On trips that the college underwrites, our faculty, students, and staff fly 1,120,000 miles per year! Those trips produce some 250 tons of CO2. Ironically, we encourage and support air travel, because we want our students to study internationally and our faculty to participate in far-flung conferences. What can we do about this serious but seemingly unavoidable problem? The first response is to cut back on unnecessary trips. Cheap air travel, just like cheap automobile travel, has induced extra and sometimes needless trips. If jet fuel were priced according to its true costs, including all the environmental ones, it would be considerably more expensive to fly. We’d think twice before winging across the county for a short vacation or for a day’s meeting. A carbon tax would be an ideal way to bring fuel pricing into alignment with costs, but a carbon “cap and trade” system seems more likely to make it through Congress. Carbon trading consists of “carbon offsets” or “credits,” an ingenious if complicated way to pick the lowest hanging environmental fruit. For instance, you can buy carbon credits to offset the CO2 production from your annual air and automobile travel. My wife Kathleen and I purchase them from Native Energy, a group that is helping Native American tribes in the Dakotas invest in renewable energy from wind, solar, and methane sources. It’s a very cost-effective way to reduce both the planet’s and our household’s carbon footprints. We could, you might argue, simply reduce our personal energy consumption closer to home—lower our thermostat, buy a hybrid car, plant trees, buy more food at the farmers’ market. Those measures are also essential and good, but not enough to offset the tons of CO2 our travel produces. Harvesting wind in windier places and solar energy in sunnier places makes more environmental and economic sense. (And supporting Native Americans is socially equitable, aligning this particular carbon offset program with the three “Es” of sustainability – Environmental, Economic, and Equity. This triple bottom line, by the way, was first coined by Professor Campbell.)

There are several problems to beware of with carbon offsets. First, you need to be careful to use a reputable program, one that makes sound investments that were not going to be made anyway. Second, offsets will slowly become less cost-effective as the lowest-hanging fruit on the planet is picked. Ultimately, if we are to avoid disastrous climate change, we need to pick all the fruit, including the hard-to-reach fruit that is less efficient and has longer paybacks. That’s why we want, for instance, to include photovoltaic solar panels on the A+A Building addition, despite the relatively low levels of solar radiation in Michigan. Photoelectric cells are becoming more and more cost-effective and will ultimately be essential as we strive to make the addition carbon-neutral or “net zero.” (Planting trees to sequester carbon is another offset strategy, but the college would have to plant some 250 trees every year to cover its air miles alone!) See page 19 for the menu of energy-savings measures we hope to include in the addition.
Having recently returned from my 60th Montpelier High School Reunion in northwestern Ohio, I will be unable to attend the Taubman College Alumni reunion on October 12–13, 2007. I graduated from the University of Michigan School of Architecture and Design in 1956 after a series of two-year tenures.
At the beginning of the Michigan Difference Campaign, Kathleen and I pledged an estate gift to the college to support the new urban design program. Because energy and environmental imperatives for the built environment have since become so pressing, we are changing the pledge to support sustainable urban design and plan to increase the gift amount. There are many, many other good and deserving causes out there, but it could be argued that none now has higher stakes or more dire and unprecedented consequences than global climate change. I encourage alumni, friends, and faculty to consider including the college in their estate planning.
—Robert W. Lockhart, B.Arch.’56
As you think about this year’s, or next year’s, charitable contributions, please consider greenhouse gas reduction, both in your household and in our college household. We Americans have already pumped more than our planetary share of GHGs into the atmosphere. The world looks to the U.S. for leadership and to architects and urban planners for guidance! By contributing to the green initiatives in our building addition, you are simultaneously investing in two profoundly important human endeavors—education and sustainability. They are our best bets for the future. Consider GOing GREEN while GOing BLUE! Thank you again for your past and future support.
The first of these was attending Denison University in Granville, Ohio when I was notable to enter the University of Michigan in the Fall of 1947. Transferring there in 1949, I then directly entered architecture school, only to be drafted into the U.S. Army in 1951. Upon my discharge in 1953, I again pursued my degree at Michigan and received a bachelor of architecture in the spring of 1956. The 2007 Homecoming and Lorch Column Dedication prompted me to include a photo of this artifact, along with a budding new architecture student, probably taken in 1949.
Thank you for the complimentary copy of Dimensions. Unlike most things that, with time, drop off of one’s resume, my Dimensions journal participation has remained constant. Although with the passage of time, my personal copies of Dimensions from 1991 and/or 1992 are long lost in my garage, the vague memory of organizing an editing team, contributing my own piece(s), and learning how to lead a group of colleagues has remained clear. Conveying in words one’s ideas to a lay audience is challenging, and even more so when they are artistic and theoretical. Yet, for me, journal participation established a belief in self actualization. If I can imagine it, draw it, and write it down..., it can be done! —Richard E. Mitchell, M.U.P.’92, General Counsel, Office of the Governor of the State of Washington Dean Emeritus Bob Beckley writes: “Richard was a planning student with a degree in architecture from Cornell. When he was here, he was a real leader (founded OAP, organized an amazing conference, Dimensions editor) and barriers between students enrolled in different programs and students of different races were dissolved in very creative ways. He now has a position as General Counsel to the Governor of the State of Washington, and I like to think that his leadership skills were further honed while he was at Michigan. (He went on to get a law degree from Syracuse, before actually embarking on a career.)”

DTW/ANC: Architecture of Extremes is a design studio being led by Lecturer in Architecture Danelle Guthrie focusing on a site near Anchorage, Alaska. Students made a site visit in September and were billeted with Anchorage area architects and their families. This provided them a unique opportunity to learn about the work these professionals are engaged in and the challenges and opportunities of designing in extreme conditions. They visited various architectural projects in the Anchorage area and got an overview of the surrounding landscape. During the remainder of the semester, students are developing a speculative project on a site outside Anchorage. At midterm two Anchorage-based architects visited Ann
Arbor to participate in studio conversations and reviews. The same architects will return at term’s end to participate in final reviews. The studio received funding from the Kumin Foundation in memory of alumnus Jonathan Kumin, B.S.’70, M.Arch.’72 who practiced for over 20 years in Alaska. The Urban and Regional Planning program sponsored an international studio in Reykjavik, Iceland during the summer of 2007. The studio was taught by Orri Gunnarsson, M.U.P.’07 under the auspices of URP Chair Jonathan Levine.

Douglas Graf will be both the Colin Clipson Visiting Fellow and the Charles Moore Visiting Professor during the winter semester. He received an A.B. in architecture and urban planning from Princeton and a M.Arch. from Harvard and currently teaches courses in design and architectural theory at the Knowlton School of Architecture at the Ohio State University. His teaching career has included the Kentucky, Washington, and Yale, as well as positions in Britain, Germany, and Finland, where he first went on a Fulbright to study the work of Alvar Aalto. He has received five teaching awards.
Professor of Practice Harry Giles was invited by the UM Office of Technology Transfer to exhibit his invention Sustainable Composite Façade Systems at the 7th annual Celebrate Invention, October 3, 2007. Giles was one of eight inventors and teams of inventors from units across the University including the Medical School, Aerospace Engineering, and Kinesiology. Celebrate Invention helps acknowledge the achievements of UM researchers who have made a technology disclosure, been awarded a patent, or participated in a license agreement in Fiscal Year 2007. This event highlights the best and the brightest researchers, and showcases several examples of exciting UM technologies that are poised to make a difference in the world. UM Tech Transfer is the University organization responsible for the transfer of University technology to the marketplace. Giles presented Transparent Façade Panels Typologies Based on Hybrid Bio-composite and Recyclable Polymer Materials at a 2006 international conference in Philadelphia sponsored by the Architectural Research Centers Consortium (ARCC) and the European Association for Architectural Education (EAAE). The paper, co-authored with doctoral student in architecture Kyoung Hee Kim was judged by an international committee of organizers and researchers to be the best presented at the conference.
During summer 2007, Assistant Professor of Architecture Fernando Lara conducted a series of workshops about water conservation with children in Brazilian schools and orphanages. The workshops are part of a larger initiative of Lara’s, www.studiotoro.org , a non-profit activist architectural practice. He also collaborated with Rita Gonçalves and her company Casa Sol which makes paper bags for carrying bread. They designed a paper bag about water conservation that will have a print of 10,000 and will be available at dozens of Brazilian bakeries later this fall.
His interest in design theory has a primary focus on formal analysis, which is applied not only to architecture but also to urban form, landscape, photography, painting, product design, and graphics. One of his signature investigations has been into the structure and use of diagrams as tools for ‘close reading,’ beginning with an article in Perspecta. Many of his investigations have explored ‘metaphoric time’ as a central design strategy with essays on buildings as diverse as the Sancturary of Aesklepios, Ronchamp, Villa Mairea, and Vaux-le-Vicomte. He has also written about the idea of the ‘encyclopedic set’ as a persistent means of modeling complexity and the use of ‘fictive landscapes’ to derive narratives for the city. He currently divides his time between Columbus (the one in Ohio) and London (not the one in Ohio), where he has been researching the design strategies in English gardens and the formal structure of the pre-industrial village. He is one of the principals in Mid-Ohio Design, a firm of architects and urban designers whose work elides from the real to the academic and who have won a number of urban design competitions.

Professor of Architecture Caroline Constant authored “Adolf Loos and ‘the woman problem’: Decorum and Modern Architecture,” for APPX 1 (2007): 47–77. Founded in 1993, the interdisciplinary journal Appendx: culture, theory, praxis, was the first journal that worked to define a legible, black aesthetic within the discipline of architecture. Like its predecessor, APPX seeks to establish an interdisciplinary venue for criticism, scholarship, and creative activity as they relate to the discipline of architecture. It is edited by Darrell Fields at the University of Arkansas.
Richard Norton, assistant professor of urban and regional planning, was one of 50 distinguished faculty members from across the University of Michigan selected for membership in the new Michigan Memorial Phoenix Energy Institute (MMPEI) Faculty Fellows Program. “The MMPEI Faculty Fellows Program represents the most active faculty in energy research and education at the University of Michigan,” says Gary S. Was, director of MMPEI. “They are the experts in their respective fields and together, comprise a significant resource in energy expertise for the university, the community and the nation.” Faculty Fellows will help to shape the energy initiative at UM by participating in MMPEI activities and events and providing feedback on solicitations and proposals for energy research and education programs. Fellows are also available for inquiries from the media, industry, and government concerning matters relating to energy. A complete list of Faculty Fellows and their bios and research interests can be viewed at www.mmpei.umich.edu/outreach/fellows.html. Norton was also recently invited to join the board of directors of the Land Information Access Association (LIAA), located in Traverse City, Michigan (http://www.liaa. org). LIAA is a non-profit community service organization that works with local governments throughout the state in developing new information technologies and applying them effectively for their local land use planning and development management efforts. Norton began

Claire Zimmerman, assistant professor of architecture, completed her first year at the University of Michigan in May 2007. She has recently finished three articles: “Spatial Choreography and the Modern Domestic Interior: The Tugendhat House,” in Domès. International Review of Architecture 54:1 (01/07), “Jim Stirling Reassembled” AAFiles 56 (November 2007), and “The Monster Magnified: Architectural Photography as Visual Hyperbole,” in Perspecta 40: Monster (forthcoming 2008). Zimmerman’s Taschen monograph on Ludwig Mies van der Rohe has been on sale since December 2006. This fall, she is teaching a seminar on British modernism (post World War II), and in the winter semester a workshop/seminar on the British architect James F. Stirling (1924–1992), as part of an ongoing study project at the Yale Center for British Art. Conference presentations include a paper on Stirling and functionalism at York University in July (conference title: “Real Things: Matter Materiality, Representation 1880–present”), “Siegfried Kracauer at the Weissenhofsiedlung” at the German Studies Association in San Diego in October 2007, and “The Photographic Return” at Return Emigrations: Architectural Cross-currents in Postwar Germany and America at Columbia University at an upcoming conference in January 2008. The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in Cambridge, Massachusetts, organized a one-day gathering in June 2007 to discuss Professor of Urban and Regional Planning Margaret Dewar’s research on what helps and hinders community-based developers in reusing vacant, abandoned, and contaminated property in Detroit and Cleveland. An article by Dewar and urban planning doctoral student David Epstein, titled “Planning for ‘Megaregions’ in the United States,” will appear in the next issue of the Journal of Planning Literature.

Jean Wineman, professor and chair of the Doctoral Program recently received generous funding from the National Science Foundation for her project, “Spatial and Social Networks in Organizational Innovation.” This research will provide a better understanding of how innovation works by exploring the interaction between the innovation process, social networks, and spatial layout. It will also allow the team to identify opportunities to guide the social and organizational structure and spatial layout of work organizations to create more effective, efficient, and innovative design processes. The project focuses on two innovative organizations in the automotive industries, Ford Environmental Quality Office (Dearborn, Mich.), and Volvo Powertrain (Hagerstown, Md.). Wineman is leading this research with Associate Professor of Architecture Sophia Psarra, co-principal investigator and other research faculty in the Schools of Information and Literature Science and the Arts. Felichism Kabo, M.Arch.’02, M.S.’04, Ph.D.’06 is also a member of the research team. This three-year project will result in proposed models of the relationships between the spatial layout and social structure of organizations to enhance innovation processes. The project will also develop design recommendations regarding spatial layout for our case study sites consistent with innovation processes and social structures. Elsie Harper-Anderson, assistant professor of urban and regional planning has three upcoming articles for 2008, “Coming Together In Tough Economic Times: Workforce Development and Economic Development Move Closer in Michigan” in Metropolitan Affairs in Michigan: Case Studies and Best Practices; “Measuring the Connection Between Workforce Development and Economic Development: Examining the Role of Sector-Based Strategies for Local Outcomes” for Economic Development Quarterly; and “Benchmarks and Barriers: Rewards for African Americans in the New Economy Sector of Corporate America” in
Journal of Planning Education and Research. HarperAnderson has two recently funded projects: the first from the Reicker Fund for Undergraduate Research, Center for the Education of Women, “Women in Dynamic Industries: Comparing Contributions and Rewards,” on which she is the principal investigator and the second from the Community and Economic Development and Land Policy Institute, Michigan State University, “Why Cooperate and for What Results? An Analysis of Local Cooperative Efforts to Manage Regional Growth in Michigan” on which she is collaborating with Elizabeth Gerber. Assistant Professor of Urban and Regional Planning Joe Grengs and Professor and Chair of Urban and Regional Planning Jonathan Levine recently received funding from the Federal Highway Administration to continue and expand their project, “A National Comparison of Metropolitan Accessibility: Performance Indicators for Transportation Planning Reform.” This project will support a shift from mobility to accessibility in transportation policy by developing and estimating—for the first time—measures of accessibility that will enable a meaningful comparison between multiple metropolitan areas of the United States. An outcome of the research will be a new method—in the form of indicators that can be analyzed both within and between regions—by which to gauge the progress of policy on infrastructure and the built environment toward accessibility, which this project argues is central to sustainability in transportation and land-use policy. Levine and Grengs also received support from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute for the three-year project. Urban and Regional Planning Ph.D. students Qingyun Shen and Doug Kolosvari are working on this project, which also involves other faculty from the University of Michigan and University of Maryland.
During the course of the international studio in Iceland, Professor Levine delivered a lecture entitled “History and Consequences of Planning-Institution Design” at the University of Iceland. He also lectured at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, Portugal on “Transportation Accessibility and Metropolitan Sustainability: Comparative Indicators for Policy Reform.” Anatole Senkevitch, associate professor of architecture is spending his sabbatical this semester in Washington D.C., where he is a visiting fellow at George Washington University’s Institute of European, Russian, and Eurasian Studies and a short-term scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Kennan Institute. He is completing a book for the MIT Press on the formation of an avant-garde in Russian architecture and consultations with colleagues preparatory to applying for major research grants to support his next research project on “The Recent Re-Construction of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow: Unpacking Contested Narratives and Architectural Agencies in Russia’s Struggles for a Post-Soviet National Identity.” In February 2007 Senkevitch presented a paper, entitled “Spatializing Alternating Ideologies: The Construction, Destruction, and Reconstruction of the Mythic Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow (1816, 1839–1931, 1995–2001),” at the Savannah College of Art and Design’s symposium, “Building in the Public Realm.” He also lectured on the topic at Middlebury College in April 2007. Senkevitch led a UM Alumni Association cruise from St. Petersburg to Moscow in August 2007 and took part in the symposium in September at the Architectural League of New York and the Museum of Modern Art on “Vanguard Lost and Found: Soviet Modernist Architecture between Peril and Preservation.” Several commissioned essays by Senkevitch, including “Soviet and Post-Soviet Architecture” (pp. 21–25), “Visionary Architecture” (pp. 26–27), “Wooden Architecture” (pp. 27–28), “Art Galleries and Exhibition Halls” (pp. 31–34),

Global Suburbs Conference
The capstone UP634 team taught by Professor Margaret Dewar and Lecturer Eric Dueweke last year received an honorable mention in the competition for Outstanding Student Planning Project from the Michigan Association of Planning. The students (now most are alums) are Stephanie Bailey, Sophia Fisher, C. J. Hoss, Meghna Khanna, Mark Ledford, Brian Lutenegger, and Katie Maurer. The students worked with the Wayne County Treasurer’s Office and the Coalition for a Detroit Land Bank to plan ways the new Wayne County Land Bank could handle abandoned properties to strengthen neighborhoods, protect property values, and return these properties to productive use. They were honored at the Michigan Association of Planning conference October 19.
The Doctoral Programs in Architecture and Urban and Regional Planning are sponsoring an interdisciplinary graduate student conference on international metropolitan expansion, March 7th and 8th, 2008.
Doctoral candidate in architecture Itohan Osayimwese has been awarded a “Citation of Special Recognition” by the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts as part of the Carter Manny Award Program. The honor comes with a handsome financial award. The Carter Manny Award program honors the best doctoral dissertations in the country each year. Itohan’s accomplishment brings honor to herself and to all of us in the doctoral program. Itohan’s dissertation work focuses on architecture and urbanism in colonial and postcolonial settings. The title of her dissertation is “Colonialism at the Center: German Colonial Architecture and the Design Reform Movement, 1828–1914.” Architecture student Andrés Carter, received a Fulbright Fellowship to study in Brazil. The name of his project is “Brazil, Reconstructing Citizenship: The Role of Architecture in Community Development.”
Global Suburbs will allow scholars from a wide range of fields to present their research on the spatial, economic, cultural, political, and environmental aspects of suburbanization around the world. While studies of American suburbanization comprise a robust set of subfields in academia, the relationships between disparate scholars working on international suburbanization are not often recognized.

Covering Her Bases by Janice Harvey
Centennial Professor of Practice Mary-Ann Ray
Last year, in commemoration of its 100-year anniversary, the College established Centennial Professorships, one each in architecture and urban planning. Mary-Ann Ray began her five-year appointment as Centennial Professor of Practice in architecture this fall. She brings over 20 years of architecture experience as a principal with Robert Mangurian of Studio Works in Los Angeles. Her work ranges from archeological studies, to small speculative projects, to large mainstream commissions. At Michigan, she will teach a studio and a seminar each fall, participate in thesis reviews in the winter, and lead a studio to Beijing in the spring.
This article was intended as a companion piece to the profile of Centennial Professor June Manning Thomas in Portico Fall 2007. But trying to schedule an interview with Mary-Ann Ray is like trying to pin a wave to the shore. Last summer found Mary-Ann teaching students in Dusseldorf, Germany, traveling from there to Beijing then to Rome, and back to Beijing before returning “home” to Los Angeles and from there finally to Ann Arbor. She confesses, “I always felt a little like a nomad or I always wanted to be. I remember being young and looking at travel books and the first chance I got I was saving my money to go somewhere. I guess I have a curiosity about the bigger humankind.” While Mary-Ann has a curiosity that drives her to explore the world, her activities reflect reveals an individual who is very much about making places, communities for herself and for others. For example, after 15 years of documenting Hadrian’s villa outside of Rome with SCI-Arc students, she and Robert purchased a small farm with 90 olive trees right up the road from the villa. There they make olive oil under the label, Tibvrtini (available at Zingerman’s). In 2005 they established B.A.S.E., the Beijing Architecture Studio Enterprise, as a forum for architecture—a place for education and practice. Her studio project this fall is concerned with devising solutions for the “floating” population of Beijing. Some 20% of the population are rural immigrants drawn to the city because they can make money working in construction for $5 a day. They live on almost nothing and are separated from their families whom they visit perhaps only once a year.

Seeds of architecture Many architects relate childhood stories about building sandcastles or treehouses as seminal experiences that marked their futures as architects. But Mary-Ann actually began by studying painting at the University of Washington in Seattle. While a student she took a part-time job at the architecture library. During long evenings at the reception counter, she met students who introduced her to books like Learning from Las Vegas by Venturi, Scott Brown and Izenour or God’s Own Junkyard by Peter Blake. The summer after college, Mary-Ann left for Europe with a comprehensive itinerary of paintings and works of art she wanted to see in countries across the continent. As it turned out, those paintings were in buildings, the buildings in cities. As her travels progressed, more and more she found herself skipping the paintings in favor of the cities and buildings which captured her imagination and stoked her interest in architecture. Back in the states, Mary-Ann began a fellowship at the Brooklyn Museum in New York. There she found the art scene in New York not what she’d envisioned. As an abstract expressionist she found herself ‘out of mode’ with the more figurative art culture in New York. She began to think seriously about architecture. “There was something very compelling about architecture in that the language you use is incredibly abstract and so I didn’t have to leave behind all that I had learned. At the same time the discussion would start to become part of environments that reacted and interacted with people. There was a meaning to the abstraction in architecture that I hadn’t found in painting.”

Above: West Adams High School in Los Angeles opened for students this fall.
During graduate school at Princeton, she spent a semester at SCI-Arc. There she learned from Robert Mangurian about an opportunity to work with the artist James Turrell on the Roden Crater Project. The project (still on-going) involved turning a volcanic crater on the edge of the Painted Desert into a massive naked-eye observatory. For six months she and Robert worked to build the first model of the crater. At the end of those six months they realized they’d formed a working partnership and a life partnership.
Studio Works does take on traditional commissions and recently completed West Adams Preparatory Public High School a school in central LA—by far the firm’s largest project to date.
Studio Works In 2001, Mary-Ann and Robert were the recipients of a Chrysler Design Prize, which celebrates designers with a commitment to innovation, excellence, and sustained vision. The prize is recognizes those with “a curiosity that compels them to take chances and, in doing so, enrich our culture.” The jury described their every project as “an exercise in cultural archaeology” saying that the work “is as much about making buildings as it is deciphering the genetic code of the world’s design DNA.” Mary-Ann believes that the breadth of their practice and the fact that it includes teaching is an important reason the Chrysler Design Prize was awarded to Studio Works.
West Adams is a school of a quarter of a million square feet designed to house 2500 students and located in the inner city. Studio Works was able to design the school as six learning academies for 500 students apiece, each with a curricular focus—from a culinary business academy to one focusing on film and television. The school is being sponsored by Mentor LA whose mission is to reinvigorate inner city public schools. Mentor LA was able to enlist a fashion designer to donate time to create cool uniforms, 20th Century Fox to donate equipment, and actors to raise funds for the school. The word BASE in Chinese means both rooted and connected as well as a radical springing forth. It could be the beginnings of a definition of Mary-Ann’s body of work and her philosophy of architecture. She says, “The work I do requires me to move around.” But she finds ways to stay connected. She says, “I think community becomes a network of people that replaces a place or locale—a community bridged by airplane rides. The professor of practice is a great way to acknowledge this new paradigm.”

ITION
building addition Greener… The college, as announced in the last issue of Portico, is in the midst of designing an addition to its part of the Art and Architecture Building. We are scheduled to present the schematic design to the University Regents for approval at their November 15 meeting. Although there is no official start date, if all goes well, it may be possible to break ground toward the end of next summer. This schedule will take hard work and good luck, and is far from certain. Why is the college building more space? As explained in the last issue, enrollment and faculty have grown by almost 20 per cent in the last decade. We are short of space—classrooms, faculty offices (some 95 s.f. offices have 2 or more occupants), and space for design studio, reviews/ juries and research. We also would like to restore a “field library” or “reading library,” because our college library was moved across Bonisteel Boulevard in the mid 1990s to the Duderstadt Center (formerly called the Media Union, where our stacks and reading area are in the windowless basement.) We need a place where students and faculty can read and study in daylight!
The “site” for the proposed addition is the south roof, an ideal location in programmatic, operational, environmental and architectural terms. It will help us to horizontally and vertically knit our programs and facilities together. It also allows a linear floorplate stretched out east to west— perfect for solar gain and for daylighting. And it permits us an opportunity to improve the appearance of the building’s south façade, the most public and visible side of the building and the one through which most people enter. Miller/Hull of Seattle is the architect and is working with top energy consultants. One of the reasons they were selected was their long and award-winning record in energy-efficient and green design. Indeed, we hope to make the project an exemplary model of sustainable design. Here’s our dilemma: we have barely enough funds, including a sizeable contribution from the provost, to build the 16,000+ s.f. (It’s expensive space because it’s being built on the third floor, which requires new stairs and new columns on piles in poor soil. Building on the roof makes construction trickier, as does working in an occupied building. And the passive energy strategies add initial cost, as do related renovations and upgrades required in the existing building.)

Greenroof Lightcourt: A living, or “green,” roof is proposed for the flat roof between the existing third floor faculty offices and the new addition. Lightweight modular planting trays for grasses are the proposed system for the A&A “greenroof lightcourt.” These trays are each 24” by 24” and interlock to form an aesthetically-pleasing and environmentally-friendly roofscape. Students could plant and place the modular trays on the roof, in what could be a community-building, interdisciplinary event.

Last is the green roof in the light court, into which dozens of new and existing faculty offices will look. The living system consists of a lightweight layer of drought-resistant ground cover, which detains run-off, provides thermal and acoustic insulation, produces oxygen and would make for more pleasant views from the offices and corridors. If we can raise the money for the materials, we can install
We hope you will consider earmarking this year’s donation to these initiatives. Just mark your check “Sustainability Initiatives” and we will put it to the highest and best use in greening the addition. Dean Kelbaugh and his wife are directing their annual contribution this year and next year to the initiative. Along with others who have already contributed to this fund, we hope you too will consider GOing GREEN while GOing BLUE!
A $12,000 donation will underwrite a 1 KW array of panels.

Another good energy investment is a “ground source” or geothermal heat pump, which harvests energy by tapping cool and warm earth temperatures during the summer and winter respectively. Unlike the photovoltaic panels, which can be added incrementally over time, this investment must be made up front. So we are hopeful people will step up to the plate soon to help us underwrite it.
the system with student labor, which would be a good community-building and cost-saving exercise, as well as a consciousness-raising activity.
Photovoltaic Panels: The incoming “free” solar energy on the future roof of the A&A addition would provide more than enough energy to heat, cool, and power the addition. In addition to reducing the addition’s energy use by employing high efficiency systems like the geothermal heat pump and using “passive” heating and daylighting, an “active” photovoltaic (PV) panel array is proposed to convert light from the sun directly into electricity. As shown in the photo, we already have a small array of PVs that provide electricity for lighting our design studios. The initial addition of 15,000 square feet of state-of-the-art PV panels would supply approximately 150KW, or roughly 50% of the addition’s annual energy use.
Bonisteel Blvd
Addition
The design is a textbook case in passive solar heating, as well as natural lighting and natural ventilation. The base case utilizes the optimal “defensive” energy strategies, but it lacks the budget to implement its “offensive” energy strategies. In order to approach our goal of a carbon-free or carbon-neutral addition, it needs to actually generate energy. This can be done by adding an array of photovoltaic panels to produce electricity for lighting and equipment. As the accompanying chart shows, that could take up to $3 million to achieve self-sufficiency.
Geothermal Heat Pump: Geothermal heat pumps (a.k.a. ground-source heat pumps) use the ground instead of outside air to provide heating and cooling. While initially more expensive than conventional methods, geothermal systems are “low tech,” and among the most efficient heating and cooling systems available today, offering a seven to eight year payback. The addition will need 40 to 50 wells to meet its peak heating and cooling loads. A $10,000 donation will cover the cost of one well.

The Michigan Difference Campaign has exceeded its overall $2.5 billion goal, with almost $2.7 billion in gifts and pledges as of September 30, 2007. Taubman College has received over $41.4 million in gifts and pledges toward our goal of $43 million. Our goal was recently raised to $43 million to include needed funding for the building addition and renovation. Despite being close to achieving our overall goal, we are still challenged to meet individual goals for faculty and programmatic support, both of which are critical to our continued success. And although we have exceeded our initial goal for student support, the need remains great. The Presidential Challenges for both undergraduate need-based scholarships and graduate/professional student support are excellent ways donors can receive a significant match to their gifts. The building addition and renovation presents new opportunities for giving to enhance the learning environment at Taubman College. In addition to cash gifts and pledges, a growing number of alumni have elected to include the Taubman College in their estate plans, with new bequest intentions now exceeding $4.5 million ($3 million goal).

Centennial Challenges Alan Berkshire, B.S.’82 and Cynthia Reavis Berkshire, A.B.’83 are longtime supporters of Taubman College. In 1997, while still in their 30s, they began building the Alan and Cynthia Reavis Berkshire Endowed Scholarship Fund. In three years, they were able to complete their pledge and the first Berkshire Scholar was named in 2001. Subsequently, Alan and Cynthia began to explore other ways to provide opportunities for Taubman College students. As students, they had benefited from international travel experiences and recognized the value of study travel in an increasingly global society. In September 2006, in honor of the college’s 100th birthday, they established the Centennial Travel Fund with a gift of $10,000. While the Berkshires were excited about creating more resources for travel, they also wanted to leverage their gift to encourage more alumni/ae to support the college.
They issued a challenge, offering to match new or increased gifts directed to graduate scholarships and to the newly established Centennial Travel Fund. They committed $100,000 with any balance going to the Centennial Travel Fund. During the past year an astonishing 150 TCAUP students had an opportunity to engage in study overseas. These opportunities included spring studio offerings to Guatemala, Iceland, Switzerland, Argentina, Ghana, Japan and Beijing but also shorter trips to Guatemala and Venice. Many more were able to augment their studies with visits to destinations within the United States including Las Vegas, Chicago, and Sault Ste. Marie. The Centennial Travel Fund will support study travel, both domestic and international, undertaken by students in any of the programs.

Donor Profile Portico looks at the stories of three exceptional individuals who have contributed to the University and provided new opportunities for the education of young adults in their fields.
Justin Henshell B.Arch.’49
Justin Henshell originally came to the University of Michigan for the Naval Architecture program. He turned to architecture when the demand for ships declined after World War II. This turn of events gave our program an accomplished, driven graduate. His abilities as an architect and a roofing specialist have brought him to work extensively throughout the U.S and abroad. He is a partner in the firm Henshell & Buccellato, Consulting Architects, Red Bank, New Jersey. Clients include the Seattle Art Museum, Smith Barney, IBM, Dow Jones, Wharton School of Business at the University of Philadelphia, and UM Ross School of Business. In 2000, the American Society for Testing and Materials recognized his accomplishments by giving him the Walter C. Voss Award. The University of Wisconsin and the Roofing Industry Educational Institute have also recognized his expertise and have hosted his lectures for many years. Recently, Henshell established an undergraduate need-based scholarship fund. The Justin Henshell Endowment Fund will be matched by the President’s Challenge and will provide support for need-based, undergraduate scholarships.
Mitchell Ketai 1950, BAAE
Mitchell Ketai of Bloomfield Hills graduated with a degree in Architecture Engineering in 1950. After gaining extensive experience in the field, he eventually established M.R. Ketai & Associates. In addition to his success with his firm, he also draws a sense of accomplishment from his two children who also graduated from the University of Michigan. His daughter Lisa graduated from the School of Natural Resources in 1978, and his son Loren graduated from the Medical School in 1985. In honor of his family’s achievement, Mitchell decided to establish an undergraduate award called the “Mitchell Ketai Family Scholarship Endowment.” His decision to endorse undergraduates with financial need means that his gift will be doubled by the President’s Challenge. The scholarship will receive its first recipient in the 2008–2009 school year.
James A. van Sweden B.Arch.’60
From the wild places of Nichols Arboretum to the shady lawns of the Diag, much of the University’s renowned natural beauty is actually the work of human hands. A leadership bequest from James A. van Sweden of Washington, DC, valued at $5 million at the time of commitment, will prepare young architects and landscape architects to shape the interaction of the natural and built environments with the same style and sense of place. Mr. van Sweden’s landscape architecture firm, Oehme van Sweden, has been proclaimed one of the most influential of the last 30 years, creating a school of landscape design inspired by the American frontier. “I was grateful to Michigan for providing the foundation for the way I think and create,” van Sweden noted, “and I wanted to return that gift.” He did so by endowing the James A. van Sweden and Johanna and Anthony van Sweden Scholarship Funds (the latter in memory of his parents). His bequest will establish the James A. Van Sweden Professorships in Architecture and Landscape Architecture. The two van Sweden professorships are designed to bridge these often-separate disciplines and encourage fruitful professional collaborations, with appreciation for the fields’ common historical roots. An active member of the Director’s Cabinet for Nichols Arboretum, James van Sweden is also the guiding force behind the University Hospital’s new courtyard healing garden—the first step toward a long-term goal of connecting the Arboretum and UM Medical Center.

Robert F. Fisher, B.Arch ‘46 is still practicing in Grants Pass, Oregon, 59 years after an apprenticeship with Pietro Belluschi in Portland. He was enrolled at Michigan in the class of 1943, but three years’ interruption for service in World War II delayed his graduation until 1946. His classmates included John Dinkeloo, Charles Moore, Bob Gaede, and Pete Tarapata among others. His professional practice has involved principally schools, churches, and retirement facilities in Oregon and California. A former chairman of the Grants Pass City Planning Commission, he still participates in community advisory boards.
Peter Kuttner, FAIA, B.S.’73, M.Arch.’74 is president of Cambridge Seven Architects in Cambridge, Mass. He was profiled in an August 2, 2007 Boston Globe article which described him as “the people’s architect” for the approach he takes to the firm’s projects—he sees his job as bringing usefulness and elegance of design to projects for people who may not think about design much at all. In recent years the firm has done both big-name public projects from the $47 million expansion of the Boston Children’s Museum to smaller jobs such as the sushi bar at the InterContinental Hotel. To read the entire article, go to http://tinyurl.com/2h7ghe
Arnold Mikon, FAIA, B.Arch.’66 is CEO of the architecture and engineering firm TowerPinkster. The firm’s headquarters, located in a renovated building in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan, achieved LEED® certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and became the first architectural engineering firm in Michigan to attain official recognition from the USGBC for its own office. TowerPinkster’s new office features bamboo and cork flooring, sustainable carpeting, and certified wood products and furniture systems. Arnie says the firm is committed to environmentally responsible design on all of their projects, and they wanted to lead by example illustrating what can be achieved even in an existing space. Richard von Luhrte, FAIA, B.Arch.’68 is president of RNL, based in Denver. RNL is designing Horizon City Center, a $2 billion green, master-planned, mixed-use project in Aurora, Colorado for Lend Lease Communities. The project was accepted in the LEED® Neighborhood Development pilot program, a nationwide effort to set sustainable building and planning standards for residential developments. The 500-acre project hopes to be the first zero carbon footprint development in the United States. Rich is excited about this project, and says “we are breaking a lot of the traditional rules in city building in order to make a new sustainable community.”
Gene Hopkins, FAIA, B.S.’74, M.Arch.’75 along with Tamara Burns, B.S.’83 has formed HopkinsBurns Design Studio. Their Preservation and Communities by Design studio provides architectural expertise in the preservation, restoration and adaptive reuse of existing buildings and in the design of new places in downtown neighborhoods that are context sensitive and creatively fresh. Mark Linch, M.Arch.’79 has joined the West Paces Hotel Group in Atlanta. WPHG is creating new hotels and resorts shaped by the increasing sophistication of today’s upscale and luxury travelers worldwide. WPHG is led by Horst Schulze whose vision earned Ritz Carlton an unprecedented two Malcolm Baldridge awards. Mark is thrilled to be part of this new venture. Patrick McKelvey, B.S.’79, M.Arch.’81 is managing principal of RNL’s Los Angeles office. The firm just won a competition in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and was named design architect for a large mixed-use hotel, resort, and conference complex. Pat will be heading up this project. RNL currently has offices in Denver, Los Angeles, and Phoenix and is adding a fourth office in Abu Dhabi.

Their Preservation and Communities by Design studio provides architectural expertise in the preservation, restoration and adaptive reuse of existing buildings and in the design of new places in downtown neighborhoods that are context sensitive and creatively fresh.
Janet L. Attarian, B.S.’90, M.Arch.’92 is a project director for the Chicago Department of Transportation’s streetscape and sustainable design program. Her team began researching how it could drain as many as 30 problem alleys without emptying into sewers—which already dump stormwater runoff into the Chicago River, polluting it with waste. The Green Alleys Program (GAP), administered by the city’s department of transportation, mimics the benefits of Chicago’s much-acclaimed green roofs, which retain stormwater and prevent it from flowing through the sewers. Faced with limited options for permeable paving materials, GAP team members sought to create their own. One year and $175,000 later, GAP unveiled locally manufactured, permeable asphalt using ground recycled tire rubber for fibers and concrete. “That’s the part we’re most excited about,” Janet says. “Now that we have a mix, and have gotten plants to produce it, the goal now is to get the market up and running.” Folks can simply call Janet for the formula to make the asphalt.
Katherine Beebe, FAICP, D.Arch.’84 was selected by the editors of Crain’s Business Publications as one of the Most Influential Women in the Metro Detroit Area. Every five years this prestigious business publication recognizes women who “have made a difference.” The new group, including Kate, was named and profiled in Crain’s Detroit Business, October 8, 2007 issue. Dale Cohen, B.S.’86 founded Dale Cohen Design Studio, an interior architecture and design firm in New York City, in 2003. Prior to that, she was the senior designer for Anthony Ingrao and Jamie Drake. Dale was responsible for the renovation of Gracie Mansion, where she headed the architectural design, construction documentation and site supervision of the 12,000 square foot restoration of New York City’s mayoral residence. Prior to moving to New York, she was owner of fluxdesignstudio, a residential interior architecture and design firm in Los Angeles. In addition to her design practice, Dale served as an adjunct faculty member at UCLA and Woodbury University in Los Angeles. She has acted as construction manager for Yale University; including the Richard Serra STACK’s installation and projects for the Yale University Art Gallery, the British Art Center, and the Center for Molecular Medicine. She has a master’s degree in architecture from Yale University.

Workshop’s projects were reviewed in the academic quarterly Competitions, in New York Magazine, and in the international Italian design journal Domus. Currently on newsstands, a workshop cottage on Nantucket is the cover story of Better Homes and Gardens’ Decorating magazine. In September, New York Home Magazine named workshop/ apd one of the top 50 designers in New York City, and ran a six page profile on Matthew Berman, Andrew Kotchen and their work. In October, Matt and Andrew represented the U.S. State Department at sustainability conferences on the island of Malta and in Budapest, Hungary.
Thomas J. Sherry, B.S.’91, M.Arch.’93 was named principal at Hamilton Anderson Associates.

2000s Christine Reins, M.Arch.’97 completed her MFA in Production Design at the American Film Institute Conservatory in Los Angeles a little over a year ago (Class of ‘06), and has been working on various feature film and television projects since graduation. She completed work as an assistant art director on the new John Rambo film in the fall, and is currently working a new series for CBS called “Moonlight” as a set designer. “Moonlight” is a vampire genre series, produced by Joel Silver/Silver Pictures that debuted in September 2007. Christine notes that it’s been a challenging change of pace from working full-time in architecture, but it’s creatively rewarding and keeps her on her toes. She says it would be great to hear from alums from the late 90s! Her website address is: http://www. reins-design.com. Salomon Frausto, B.S.’98 moved from Columbia’s Buell Center to the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam to direct its new architectural broadcasting program. From print publications and online interactivity to public events and exhibitions, Salomon is consolidating and presenting the various research and content produced at the Berlage to the greater architectural community as well as generating new content that parallels the Berlage’s research interests. He is also the new editor of all publications, including the magazine HUNCH. Shawn Parshall, B.S.’98, M.Arch.’05 was project designer for TowerPinkster’s new office which features bamboo and cork flooring, sustainable carpeting, and certified wood products and furniture systems. The renovation qualified the office for LEED® certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). TowerPinkster became the first architectural engineering firm in Michigan to attain official recognition from the USGBC for its own office.

Alan Bean, M.U.P.’03 is a project planner at Spicer Group in Saginaw, Michigan. Alan has been working with the Oliver Township planning commission since 2005 on thoughtful and creative long-range plans to address local needs to develop renewable energy facilities in this rural area of Huron County (at the northern tip of Michigan’s ‘thumb’). He helped the township draft and adopt a land use plan that identified renewable energy development as a primary goal for the community and assisted the township in amending its zoning ordinance to permit utility-scale wind projects. Then, in the fall of 2006, a developer submitted a site plan to the township proposing 27 wind turbines. After a thorough site plan review, Alan provided a professional report and recommendation to the Oliver Township Planning Commission. Using their newly adopted planning documents and after consideration of his recommendation, the township voted to approve the utility-scale wind project. At the American Planning Association’s 2007 National Conference in Philadelphia, Oliver Township (with assistance from Spicer Group), was presented the “Outstanding Planning Initiative for a Small Town or Rural Area” award for this work. Hung-Wei Chen, M.Arch.’03, M.Eng.’03 works for Loebl Schlossman & Hackl, an architectural design firm in downtown Chicago. Prior to working for LSH, Hung-Wei worked for Mark Demsky Architects, also in Chicago. David Leopold, M.U.P.’05 is the project manager for Chicago’s Green Alley Project (GAP). GAP is working to remedy the problem of stormwater runoff from Chicago’s alleyways, the majority of which aren’t connected to sewers, meaning that rain tends to flood basements rather than gutters. Many alleys have been repaved with a permeable paving mix developed by the GAP team. (See Janet Attarian’s class note for more information, p. x.) In alleys that cannot be covered with a permeable surface—
where there’s hard-packed clay underneath or where basements are too close to the moisture—GAP specifies a less permeable surface with a high albedo, or ability to reflect sunlight rather than absorb it. David reports a 23degree temperature drop in the high-albedo alleys, which helps keep the city cool.
light rail or commuter train service. Luke says, “We just need examples to show people that it’s not that crazy to do it here. We have successful examples of downtowns that have been redeveloped and revitalized. Now we need to help people make the connection to transit and the economic boon it can bring.”
Jacob Gay, B.S.’06 works at Tate Snyder Kimsey in Henderson (Las Vegas), Nevada. He is doing documents for a series of bus shelters with dedicated lanes of traffic down the median of the Las Vegas strip, designed to ease the enormous congestion there. He is also teaching a firstyear technology course at University of Nevada Las Vegas School of Architecture, using primarily CAD, but also using BIM and general construction documentation.
Brian Lutenegger, M.U.P.’07 has moved to Seattle. He is working as a transportation planner for Jones and Stokes, a growing environmental planning and natural resources management firm with offices throughout the west. Brian works in the Bellevue, Washington office.
Jenna Quirk, M.Arch.’06 is an architectural designer for James Dayton Design in Minneapolis. Her thesis work “Progressive Techniques for Everyday Practices,” developed from a two-month investigation situated in the hutong neighborhoods of Beijing, China, has been published in an online collection of projects featuring leftover people, spaces, and architectures (www.onesmallproject.com). Jenna also received 2nd place, with Matt Byers and Lisa Spurlock, in the U.S. Green Building Council Mississippi Headwaters Chapter design competition for a LEED® urban mixed use development, and honorable mention in the international design competition “Market Value” in Charlottesville, Virginia with James Dayton Design.
P. Jeremy McCallion, M.U.P.’07 is associate brownfield planner for Washtenaw County, Michigan. Working in the Department of Planning and Environment, Jeremy will be pushing economic development and green design and also assisting with energy related work for the county. He is very pleased to be staying in the Ann Arbor area.
Luke Forrest, M.U.P.’07, R.E.CERT ’07 lives in Ferndale where he is the public policy director for the Michigan Suburbs Alliance, a coalition of Detroit inner-ring suburbs. Under his guidance, the alliance is determined to help redesign Detroit’s older suburbs in a way that encourages the development of a rapid transit system in the largest metropolitan region in North America that does not have

In Memoriam Thomas B. Brademas, M.C.P.’55, September 21, 2007, Mishawaka, Indiana. Tom was an urban developer whose work ranged from planning a new Valdez, Alaska, after that city was virtually destroyed in 1964 by an earthquake to developing 100 Center in his hometown of Mishawaka. The center’s innovative approaches included a movie theater in the old brewery boiler house and a mix of retail, restaurant and entertainment operations of a type not then common outside downtown areas. His name will be forever associated with Taubman College through the Thomas Brooks Brademas Endowment for Community Service, a fund he established in 1997 to provide financial support for planning students working in community-based organizations to strengthen low-income neighborhoods.
