Once again , the falling leaves of autumn herald the frenetic optimism of the Fall semester, as the new academic year gets into gear. With the 50th anniversary of our School just around the corner, there is plenty of planning to be done, events to be scheduled, old faculty to be dusted off, etc., but still time to reflect back on another busy year well spent—Urban Edge, MasterCrit, Superjury, selection of the Marcus Prize winner and a host of great studios and courses that fill out the pages of the newsletter with their excellent work. It was a good, validating year for both Planning and Architecture too; both programs underwent the close scrutiny of accreditation visits (the academic equivalent of the 60,000mile service) and both soared through with flying colors, praised for the strength of their curricula, the passion of their faculty and excellence of their alumni. This year looks pretty good too. Lots of interesting things happening, so stay close to the website, check us out on Facebook and Instagram, memorize the newsletter (there is a quiz at the end of the semester) and, above all, keep in touch.

“
I am beyond thankful to everyone at the NIDC! All of the planners were inviting, let me ask questions about how they got into the field and were incredibly giving of their time and sharing their professional experiences. I walked away from the whirlwind week deeply impressed with all that the city of Milwaukee does and inspired by what I can dedicate my career to as a planner once I graduate.

SARUP’S EXTERNSHIP PROGRAM Real World Experience in the Architectural Profession
It was a fantastic year with record numbers of firm and student participants! We placed 89 students (both grad and undergrad, architecture and planning) in 63 firms in and around Milwaukee, Madison, Chicago, nationally in Los Angeles and Raleigh, and our first international externship in Tokyo. Five years ago we started with 13 firms and 21 students. Students continue to report back exceptional experiences at their host firms. We could not have created such a successful program without the support of our partner firms. In honor of the collaboration we were awarded an ACSA/ AIA Practice + Leadership Award. The ACSA and AIA honors “best practice” examples of highly effective teaching, scholarship, and outreach in the areas of professional practice and leadership. The award honors the commitment to educating the next generation of architects.
Students continue to post summary experiences on the SARUP Externship tumblr blog. You can see these at: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/sarupexternship. As we continue to look for ways to improve the student experience, this year we added two new initiatives. The first was a one-day program that coupled freshman with upper level students on the first day of the externship so that they could experience the introductions, the office tour, and hear how a firm’s design process works. We hope this will increase mentorship opportunities for students back on campus. In the second effort, we created a small firms externship where we aggregate five small firms that each host a student for one day. Next year we plan to increase our pre-externship mentoring so that students come to the office with a better understanding of what to expect.
If you would like to host an extern in your office please contact Associate Dean Mo Zell at zell@uwm.edu.

SARUP DOES STUDY ABROAD Denise Zahran, UITS NOC Student Architect, NOMAS President
When people think of study abroad opportunities they worry about the expenses but they hesitate to see the incredible journey that they will be experiencing. While studying abroad for 2 months in Paris and Italy, with Dean Bob Greenstreet and Associate Professor Gil Snyder, I learned to be more open to others and observed the amazing thriving culture and breathtaking architecture that surrounded me. Learning about the values of the individuals, communities, and countries as a whole was rewarding from an anthropological and architectural standpoint. Due to limited time, the days were long and filled with educational activities that sometimes lasted from early morning until late in the evening. Every day resulted in checking off more and more places off the endless list of places that I have been wanting to visit for a lifetime. Not only was there a greater bond between the friends that went there together, but a strong connection between other students and most of all, staff. They held a positive vision for the students and constantly encouraged the undergrads and grad students to explore and to try to get out of their comfort zones. Gil Snyder and Dean Bob Greenstreet opened the eyes of many students to the endless possibilities that their careers could carry them to new opportunities. Not only were they inspirational but also became part of the group of students; slightly dissolving the layer that separated the students and faculty from one another. The world is our classroom and there is an extensive amount of it that we, as students and future architects, have yet to see.

SARUP Study Abroad: Paris 2017
Students document the changing light at La Tourette
UWM SARUP has been conducting architectural foreign study trips to Japan for 12 years. The trip is one month long, occurs in May/June each year, and typically includes 12 students and 2 professors. The group collaborates with several Japanese Universities including Osaka University, Wakayama University, Setsunan University, Osaka Institute of Technology, Kogakuin University, and Tokyo Institute of Technology. The trip focuses on heritage and the challenging matter of preserving great landmark places. Work in Japan includes documenting and proposing additions to important historic buildings that are threatened with demolition. Students learn not only technical matters of historic building construction in Japan, but they also become aware of the tremendous challenge of keeping old buildings in extremely dense and growing countries. While the education is focused on architecture and building preservation, the experience is broad and holistic. Students are exposed to and interact in social ways that are unimaginable here or in Europe. Religion, entertainment, food, cultural habits, working and job conditions, living arrangements, sustainability, smart growth, transportation, etc., all add up to an experience that is life changing. These architectural study trips to Japan still remain unique among architectural schools in the US. This program is a terrific asset to SARUP and UWM, and places us in a very selective category of architectural education.

This year, a small group of Japanese professors and students from Osaka Institute of Technology conducted an architectural study trip to America. Their stops included New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Los Angeles. The visit to Milwaukee gave their students a chance to see our University and interact with our students. The encounter represented an important exchange between two great Universities. It facilitated cross-cultural education and advanced the possibility for students to elevate their studies through international connections. The Japanese partnership is important to the students at SARUP. As our architectural profession becomes more and more globalized, it becomes clear that international collaborations with countries from Asian are essential.

NOMAS National Organization of Minority Architecture Students This past year the SARUP chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students (NOMAS) coordinated a number of activities that are in line with the NOMAS mission to foster community and communication among minority architecture students and their greater academic and social environment. Participation in the NOMA Conference in October, the University of Illinois at Urbana—Champagne Symposium, and firm tours all helped to meet this mission by creating opportunities for NOMAS students to connect with peers and professionals, present their work, and advance personal and professional goals. Throughout these events, NOMAS students engaged in discourse to understand the issues—political, social, environmental, and professional—and how they affect architecture. These crucial experiences

and connections allow NOMAS students to find their niche and enter the professional world more prepared and with an expansive support network. NOMAS students brought these new insights back to the UWM SARUP community. This upcoming school year NOMAS will again participate and present their design competition entry in the NOMA Conference that will be held in Houston, Texas, in October. Further events planned throughout the year will address the needs and interests of the SARUP student body to engage the greater NOMAS community. Potential events include a trip to the Chicago Architecture Biennial, firm tours, and other conferences.

INNER HARBOR PROJECTS Professor Jim Wasley taught a week long workshop at Jade University in Oldenburg, Germany, on the design of ecological urban waterscapes. Oldenburg is on the northern plains of Germany close to the Baltic Sea. Much like the Netherlands just to the west, water here is a constant presence in the environment, and one that offers interesting insights into the problems of urban water design in Wisconsin.
Jim has been involved with the Greenfield Gateway Project, the redevelopment of Milwaukee’s inner harbor area, bordered roughly by 1st Street, Pittsburgh Street, the harbor, and the Kinnickinnic River. That area includes University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s School of Freshwater Sciences, which opened in 2014 at 600 E. Greenfield Avenue, overlooking the harbor. One of the first projects to be realized is the Freshwater Plaza development ecological storm water demonstration project that was completed in June and includes the Gateway Fountain that captures 40,000 gallons of storm water from the roofs of the Freshwater Plaza apartments. This water is filtered through engineered wetland planters without the use of chemicals. As a water technology demonstration site, it is currently hosting Veolia’s RainNET internet-connected control system that will manage the water level in the fountain’s cistern system through predictive weather analytics. The fountain’s water will further be treated by the planned installation of a Solar Water Works PECO Solar-UV sterilization system in a novel configuration designed to exploit the fountain’s pump system for its own circulation. The creation of this fountain has been a collaborative effort between the UWM Institute for Ecological Design, The Milwaukee Department of City Development, Wangard Associates and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District (MMSD). Additional funding

has been provided by the Brico Fund and the fund for Lake Michigan. At the end of Greenfield Avenue just east of the Greenfield Gateway, a companion fountain is under construction that will celebrate water at the west entrance to the UWM School of Freshwater Sciences. This fountain will intercept discharge water from the School’s aquaculture research facilities, treat it with ozone, and discharge it through a sculptural sluice into a reflecting pool that will be filled with aquatic habitat by students of the School. Together, these two fountains are meant to collapse the divide between the city and the harbor, connecting the School of Freshwater Sciences to the community. Wasley entered the “Take me to the River” competition for a small public plaza with a team that included Assistant Professor Kyle Reynolds, the internationally celebrated artist Mary Miss, landscape architect Ed Freer, and lighting designer Marty Peck. While not selected, the scheme was notable for proposing a SARUP student design/build process as the vehicle for producing and executing the conceptual design. The scheme also provided access to the water for kayakers in the initial and funded phase of the project.

Associate Professor Kyle Talbott designed the new Bonsai Exhibit at the Lynden Sculpture Garden in River Hills, Wisconsin, a collaboration with The Lynden Foundation, the Milwaukee Bonsai Society, and the Milwaukee Bonsai Foundation. The Bonsai Exhibit includes a display area for twenty bonsai and a waterside teaching patio. The area will be a place to admire bonsai in season, to participate in workshops, or to enjoy the peaceful setting.
Racial and Economic Equity
Associate Professor Kirk Harris’ academic interests are focused on racial and economic equity, the pedagogy of social justice, constitutional issues in planning law and mediation and negotiation. Dr. Harris leads a research, practice and policy initiative in Chicago, Fathers, Families and Healthy Communities (FFHC). This family strengthening and community development initiative seeks to support and promote the engagement of low-income African-American fathers in the lives of their children, families and communities. Kirk teaches courses on negotiation theory and practice for urban planners, social justice, multiculturalism, race and class, and planning law. He is a lawyer as well as a planner. He was the keynote speaker, “Criminalization and Punishment: Implications for Child Support Practice and Policy,” at the Office of Child Support Enforcement, Chicago, in June 2016, and a panelist on “Child Support: Innovations in State Policy & Practice to Remove Barriers to Work” at the National Conference on Ending Chronic Unemployment and Poverty, sponsored by Heartland Alliance in October 2016. He moderated a session on race, education and gentrification and was a panel presenter on “Getting Tenure Panel” at the
Kirk provided opening remarks and moderated the 2017 Wisconsin Chapter of the American Planning Association “Planning and a Pint” panel on Diversity in Planning and served as a panelist in the 2016 panel discussion on governmental policy and racial segregation and disparity. Kirk is currently working on a book on Black mayors and equity practices in community and economic development.

THE WARMING HIVE
Pneumatic Structures
Conceived in collaboration with local artists Katy Cowan and Nicholas Frank at The Open in Milwaukee’s Riverwest neighborhood, The Warming Hive is a pneumatic (airfilled) structure designed by a group of undergraduate and graduate architecture students taught by Assistant Professor Whitney Moon in Fall 2016. Because The Open is comprised of several curatorial platforms—the Nicholas Frank Public Library (NFPL), Microlights, The Oven, The Outlet, and the Designers Talking Library—the objective of this temporary architectural installation is to engage multiple programs simultaneously while providing an outdoor gathering space for gallery visitors during an opening event. In addition to being “plugged-in” to The Outlet—an electrical outlet curated by Cowan inside the gallery—The Warming Hive was designed to engage The Oven, an outdoor brick oven run by artist John Riepenhoff, both thermally and socially. For this opening event, Peter Sandroni, the head chef at La Merenda and Engine Company No. 3 prepared food in The Oven, in collaboration with ceramicist Shelby Page. Sandroni’s culinary delights were prepared in Page’s custom earthenware and enjoyed in the comfort of an inflatable environment. The Warming Hive realizes a collaborative student research and design project exploring pneumatic technology in relationship to mobility, sociability, environmental responsibility and pedagogical advancement. Adaptable to a variety of site and seasonal conditions, this pneumatic structure offers capabilities of implementation and transportation that cannot be matched by traditional construction: it is inflated in under three minutes, and can be easily packed up and transported to various locations throughout the city. Designed with built-in pneumatic seating and an insulated, fireproof, and projectionfriendly skin, The Warming Hive provides a thermally comfortable winter shelter for exhibition, cooking and gathering. It can also be deployed for a variety of temporary and event-based uses. By utilizing the manufacturing expertise of Landmark Creations from Minnesota, this structure is able to have a lifespan of many years, rather than days, changing the typical perception of pneumatics structures as disposable, wasteful, and unreliable. The Warming Hive was born out of a seminar on inflatable architecture entitled “Pillow Talk: Blow Up!” taught by Assistant Professor Whitney Moon. The course focused on a series of concepts pertaining to temporary, mobile and event-based architectures, with an emphasis on designing and fabricating air-filled structures. This was a unique opportunity for architecture students to learn about design-build and installation practices and to engage with the local arts community. 9

At the juncture of the Fox River and Main Street sits the heart of downtown Waterford. Recent bridge and roadway proposals by the WDOT turn this critical intersection into a high speed, regional through route. Five different reports commissioned by Waterford point out that Waterford needs to increase the connection between downtown and the river. To address this missed opportunity a collaboration between the Village, Racine Arts Museum, UWM School of Architecture and Urban Planning, HARK design collaborative, and Racine Arts Council, along with many community partners, has worked together to transform the river into a new main street with three public light installations and community programming built around the installations.

ARCHITECTURE FOR THE BIRDS
SURF and RACAS Grants
Every year there are between 365 million and a billion bird deaths in North America that are caused by collisions with buildings. Many of the species involved are migratory birds whose survival is already threatened due to habitat loss and climate change. These unnecessary deaths exert a significant toll on state and national economies linked to tourism and agriculture as well as contributing to the degradation of our environment. Architecture for the Birds is a collaborative project between SARUP and the Department of Geography. It consists of three overlapping initiatives that deal with bird-strikes, prevention, monitoring, and building retrofit. A UWM SURF grant was awarded to Assistant Professor Filip Tejchman for work with design students on this project. The SURF grant—Support for Undergraduate Research Fellows—is a university grant awarded to student researchers to participate on faculty research projects. The prevention phase was kicked-off in the fall of 2016. Professor Glen Fredlund in the Department of Geography has conducted campus surveys of bird-deaths for the past several years and identified a portion of the SARUP building

that is particularly lethal to birds. With the help of Assistant Professor Kyle Reynolds, Tejchman and the students who were enrolled in Arch 281 used this location information as the basis for organizing a student design competition to create a pattern for the windows using a reflective window tape. The winner of this competition, Asal Abdel Issa, further developed her proposal in collaboration with Jackson Leverenz and Collin Tanner. The results of the competition were featured in the UWM Research Journal and presented at the Annual Mid-Western Bird Conservation Initiative Conference and the UWM Water Policy Institute Symposium. Building on the work done as part of the SURF grant, the project was awarded a Research and Creative Activities Support (RACAS) grant to further refine a low-cost sensor system. This is a product-oriented development project that is based on the ethos of the “internet of things” as applied to the relationship between buildings and the numerous ambient and animal flows that pass through and around them. Additional assistance for this project is being provided by a consortium that includes the American Bird Conservancy, Western Great Lakes Bird and Bat Observatory, and Bird City Wisconsin.

BUILDINGS-LANDSCAPES-CULTURES FIELD SCHOOL
Arijit Sen & Mia Krantz Engaging stakeholders
Associate Professor Arijit Sen led the 2016 summer BLC field school in Washington Park. The BuildingsLandscapes-Cultures Field School is a unique curricular offering at UWM’s Department of Architecture. It is a multi disciplinary setting where students, faculty, scholars, and community members explore ways to see and interpret the city by engaging multiple urban stakeholders in storytelling, ecological conservation, heritage preservation and civic engagement. From Grace Lee Boggs we learned that “We
are the leaders we’ve been looking for,” and the job at the BLC field school is to empower such leaders. The specific objective of this project is to 1) encourage community-based learning and collaboration, 2) collect local histories of places of cultural relevance 3) gain skills that allow professionals to collect and analyze data 4) use the power of digital humanities to disseminate research data and 5) empower local communities by hearing/responding to those voices that are often not heard in urban and official discourses.
Associate Professor Arijit Sen collaborated with over 10 students on various research projects funded through the UWM SURF program and the McNairs Scholars Program. This research has been disseminated in conferences including the National Humanities Conference in Salt Lake City, The Imagining America Conference, Milwaukee, the Society of Architectural Historians Conference, Glasgow, UK and the Annual Vernacular Architecture Forum Conference in Salt Lake City. In March he spoke about his research “Place acts: Immigrant placemaking in Milwaukee and Chicago,” at the Princeton-Mellon Initiative in Architecture, Urbanism & the Humanities in Princeton, New Jersey. Below is an abstract from the panel:
Scholars see “place” as an active agent that can transform everyday practices and precipitate equitable social change. Our use of the term place acts refers to place-based storytelling and action research practices that render visible overlooked places, forgotten histories and disregarded people. This roundtable will engage the audience in dialog with 5 panelists who have successfully used place as a central trope in their practice, albeit from different perspectives. An initial discussion, based on actual examples drawn from the participants’ experiences will identify specific methods, best practices, technologies, and techniques of “place acts” in different locations such as New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Texas and Wisconsin. Subsequently a moderated discussion will encourage all attendees to debate the impact of community collaboration by explicitly linking place-based design practices, new digital and social media tools, as well as assessment methods in their respective teaching, practice and grassroots activities.

Jürgen Mayer H., Founder, J. MAYER H. Architects
Together Whenever
By Jasmine Benyamin, Assistant Professor
By Jürgen Mayer H.
The sharing economy increasingly becomes our new reality when family structures, nomadic lifestyles, and economic challenges demand new forms reflecting how we live. Mine, yours, ours. Today, those new forms represent transformations of ownership, time-based usage, the common use of services provided, and the organization of social activities that transform our traditional understanding of housing and home. As John Paul Ricco argues in his book, “The decision between us . . . is shared separation.”
The work of J. Mayer H. und Partner, Architekten resides at the intersection of architecture, communication, and new technology. In projects that range in scale from urban planning proposals to buildings, installations, and objects, the firm explores the relationships between the human body, technology, and nature through the lens of new spatial productions.
The aim of MASTERcrit 2017 was to rethink concepts of collectivity for new housing strategies. To this end students explored themes surrounding intimacy and privacy between the individuals and the communal, between mine, yours and ours, between retreat and engagement, between personal tastes and shared aesthetics. What is shared and what is separated? Garden, roof, balcony, bathroom, kitchen, recreation, bedroom, etc. These new logistics of sharing also need to acknowledge the role of software in the transformation of urban infrastructures.
Jürgen Mayer H. founded the Berlin-based firm in 1996, and was joined in 2014 by partners Andre Santer and Hans Schneider. Mayer H. holds degrees in architecture from the University of Stuttgart, The Cooper Union, and Princeton University. His work has been published and exhibited worldwide. Among his many awards, Mayer H. is the recipient of the Mies van der Rohe Award for Emerging Architects (2003), the Holcim Award (2005), and the Audi Urban Future Award (2010). Jürgen Mayer H. has taught and lectured at Princeton University, University of the Arts Berlin, Harvard University GSD, Kunsthochschule Berlin, the Architectural Association in London, Columbia University, and the University of Toronto.
As a case study to test these ideas the workshop took on Mies van der Rohe’s Lake Shore Drive apartments (860/880 Lakeshore Drive) in Chicago. The buildings were “unmade” and “erased” in order to then reassemble or “unbecome” new architectural proposals for future housing. Through models and drawings students proposed new relational organizations within the iconic skeleton of the building as well as on its immediate site.

Ivy published research articles in peer reviewed journals on aspects of socioeconomic inequality, poverty, job access, and telecommuting and household travel in Cities, Journal of Urban Affairs, Transportation, and the Journal of Urban Planning and Development. Ivy was awarded a UWM “Research and Creative Activities Support Award” as co-PI, for $25,000.
The studio work from Cinematic Architecture reconceives film—not just as projected image or presentation tool—but as a design method that harnesses spatial, temporal and sonic materiality. The MASTERcrit group examined Mies’ Lakeshore Drive Apartments as significant markers in the Chicago architecture landscape. They asked the questions can these icons be dismantled and recycled to address contemporary needs without jettisoning their history? Can its future be inscribed onto its past?
MAKING A SWITCH
Congratulations to Dee Nordgren on her retirement!
The SARUP Urban Design Studio, co-taught by Professor of Practice Carolyn Esswein and Adjunct Assistant Professor Jim Piwoni, developed designs to transform Michigan and Clybourn Streets from parking garages and autos on through streets to a vibrant area of public spaces, housing, hotels, a new site for the public museum, grocery store, enhanced parking structures, bike routes, and more. The studio collaborated with Chris Socha, TKWA Urban Lab, to envision how these auto-dominated streets can become an exciting neighborhood that builds on area investments. These streets are in the Westown neighborhood, one of the many areas in and around downtown Milwaukee that are going through transformation—from the new Bucks arena area and the Grand Avenue Mall to development along the Milwaukee lakefront.
Ivy also presented/co-presented four conference papers on the subjects of commuting behavior of Asian immigrants in the US, accessibility, changes in spatial mismatch, and neighborhood commute mode and disadvantaged workers to Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning.
UWM SARUP will be Included in the 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial Concurrent Programming from November 12-18 at the Chicago Cultural Center. Associate Professor Jasmine Benyamin’s Cinematic Architecture Studio and MASTERcrit with architect Jürgen Mayer H. will be on display under the sub themes Material History / Building History / Natural History / Social History.
Congratulations to Dee Nordgren on her retirement! Dee had been with UWM for 32 years, 27 of those years at SARUP as Chief Officer of Getting Things Done! You would be just as likely to see Dee in the building over the weekend or late at night as you see architecture and planning students. Dedicated to the thankless task of spelunking the rhizomic morass of university and state bureaucracy, Dee always knew the right form to use for even the most arcane circumstance. SARUP has been fortunate to be guided by such a dedicated administration-whisperer. Good luck, Dee, and enjoy your well-earned retirement . . . now where do we keep the paper clips?

Exhibition & Event Overview
Place Acts
Jan ‘17
Arijit Sen, Associate Professor
Place Acts was an exhibit that suggested a way to see, interpret and transform the world around us. This project grew out of lessons learned from 20 years of research, teaching and community engagement. The message was simple: Architecture is not a product, not just a form, and not a singular creative act of some endowed designer. This exhibit urged us to see our environment as dynamic and perspectival; a contingent and emergent process. It challenged the notion that buildings and landscapes generate a sense of permanence and stability of meaning because of their corporeal and material presence in the world around us. The exhibit, Place Acts, argued for a world that can be limited not only by physical borders but also by much less explicit temporal and socially constructed boundaries. 2017 Spring Exhibition

2016-2017 News
Place acts focus on embodiment—that is, on the mutually constitutive relationship between place, activities and the human body—underscoring the notion that a physical environment cannot exist without the human inhabitants who experience it in their everyday lives, and its meaning is dependent upon the larger political and economic contexts within which these individuals operate in any specific location. The dynamism of placemaking has been and remains most evident in urban public spaces and urban neighborhoods where the greatest numbers of people are exposed to spatial change. Place is always a process fraught with political, ideological, economic, and symbolic conflicts—but only because of the people who are engaged in it. By foregrounding the political possibilities of place, we hope to illuminate both its emancipatory and its oppressive possibilities. We see “place” as an active agent that can transform everyday practices and precipitate equitable social change.
“Together We Can” Connect a Neighborhood

Ali Kopyt, SARUP alumna
“Together We Can” Connect a Neighborhood was a community art project created through a partnership between Marquette University’s Future Milwaukee Leadership Program, Near West Side Partners, and businesses, organizations and residents of the Avenues West neighborhood. In an effort to capture the spirit and history of Avenues West, community members of all ages were asked to create art in response to what “makes me happy” about places and spaces in their neighborhood. Each of these pieces then come together to create one large mural that truly displays the vibrant community and the assets of today’s Avenues West neighborhood.

Towards a Cinematic Architecture exhibit reflected the range of methods explored in the studio—scaled models and drawings, but also conceptual artifacts and films. http:// uwm.edu/sarup/mobile-design-box-architecturalfilm/ The studio interrogated the question how do architectural and film space collide? Can design adopt a film-based methodology to interrogate new ways in which bodies engage in an ongoing dialog with space and time? In his Manifesto for Cinematic Architecture, architect Pascal Schöning states: “Cinematic architecture confronts the stable with the temporal. It aims to dissolve or expose the concept of a static material world through a buzz of constant change…(it) is a form of physical dialogue.” The studio asked how and in what ways architecture could be communicated, conceived, understood, and presented as a narrative (i.e., a story about a building). Students engaged media practices at varying scales and modalities alongside the deployment of specifically temporal/ spatial filmic operations. A series of exercises centered simultaneously on close readings of key theoretical texts and cinematic strategies of shot/counter shot/track/pan that had as their target the rich terrain that binds film and architecture discourse.

Every two years the School of Architecture & Urban Planning at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee presents The Urban Edge Award—a biennial prize that recognizes excellence in urban design and the ability of individuals to create major, positive change within the public realm. This award honors internationally recognized design professionals who bring fresh, innovative, and effective thinking with a focus on urbanism and landscape to the field of design. Traditionally The Urban Edge Award has been given to a single individual or office, but in the spirit of interdisciplinary collaboration, Assistant Professor Nikole Bouchard shook things up this year by inviting six design professionals to conduct three design workshops with SARUP students throughout the 2017 spring semester. The theme of this year’s Urban Edge Award was “From Waste to Wonder—Working with What Remains.” The goal of the three design workshops was to create a variety of design projects that addressed selected urban sites, situations, and social inequities that are specific to Milwaukee, but similar to scenarios in post-industrial cities throughout America. Each design workshop had a unique theme, site, and cast of characters. The fifteen From Waste to Wonder seminar students developed design projects at a variety of scales that explored issues of urban vacancy, adaptive reuse, and productive landscapes. Students used the power of design to re-imagine a Milwaukee where cultural, social, economic, and environmental issues are foregrounded and fortified. The Urban Edge Award design workshops culminated on Saturday, April 15th at Workshop Architects in Milwaukee with a public symposium and final review where the research and design projects were presented, discussed, and debated with the invited keynote speaker, Walter Hood, the six design workshop leaders, seminar students, faculty, and stakeholders.

DESIGN WORKSHOP No. 01: Urban Vacancy & Milwaukee’s 30th Street Industrial Corridor
Design Workshop No. 01 Winner
Milwaukee’s 30th Street industrial corridor is the quintessential post-industrial city site. As in most rustbelt cities, deindustrialization began in the 1970s, resulting in an economic downturn that has left Milwaukee’s north side plagued with issues of unemployment and abandonment. Today nearly 100 acres of the corridor are vacant with pockets of blight scattered across the terrain.
URBAN EDGE: CONTINUED
The Urban Edge Award Design Workshop No. 01 in January of 2017 brought Brooklyn-based artist Olalekan Jeyifous of Vigilism and Detroit-based designer and academic Catie Newell of the University of Michigan to SARUP to work with students over a four-day design charrette. The goal was to develop design proposals that address the pressing issues of urban vacancy that surround Milwaukee’s 30th Street industrial corridor. Students were asked to re-appropriate and reconfigure existing architectural, mechanical, political, and cultural structures to produce fantastical projects that are inspiring, critical, and cautionary. Design Workshop No. 01 Project Award / Valerie Davis, Lauralena Valdivia & Tommy Yang
DESIGN WORKSHOP No. 02: Adaptive Re-Use & Milwaukee’s Kinnickinnic River Corridor Milwaukee’s Kinnickinnic River corridor was once a vibrant and lively waterway that was lined with native trees and filled with freshwater springs, fishing hot spots, and thriving flora and fauna. In the 1960’s the riverbed was channelized, leaving a negative impact on the ecological and urban landscapes that surround it. The Urban Edge Award Design Workshop No. 02 in February of 2017 brought Cambridge-based landscape designer
Gifted Hands
Fionn Byrne of Harvard University and Buffalo-based architect and academic Joyce Hwang of SUNY Buffalo to SARUP to explore adaptive reuse ideas with students over another four-day design charrette. The goal was to consider spaces and situations that might not necessarily be seen as opportunities for design. Students were encouraged to develop design ideas that confront the contemporary ecological conditions of the Kinnickinnic River corridor. Design proposals incorporated wildlife habitats, responded to social inequities, and pondered the potential adaptive reuse of the acquired and soon-to-be-razed residences.

Aleksandr Mergold of Cornell University to SARUP to develop design proposals with students over the third and final four-day design charrette. Students were asked to ideate on making Milwaukee’s post-industrial environments productive landscapes once again. Students considered the Menomonee Valley as an “Urban Attic.” They saw voids as opportunities for the unplanned and the unpredictable to emerge. Abandoned building types and vacant spaces were arranged within a designed framework to reconnect the severed spaces within the urban fabric.

Recently Walter Hood was selected to design a new linear park that bridges Milwaukee’s Harambee and Riverwest neighborhoods as part of the Beerline Trail Neighborhood Development Project. The goal of this project is to sustain and enrich the lives of the people in Harambee and Riverwest by promoting health, well-being, and prosperity through the increased circulation of resources, voices, ideas, labor, and creativity. Walter brought these related ideas and insights to the conversation as he discussed the design research and work that was developed throughout the three Urban Edge Award design workshops with seminar students, faculty, and stakeholders.

DESIGN WORKSHOP No. 03: Productive Landscapes & Milwaukee’s Menomonee Valley The confluence of the Milwaukee and Menomonee Rivers sits at the eastern end of the Menomonee Valley—a fourmile long and half-mile wide swath of land that cuts directly through the center of downtown. The valley was once rich with natural resources, rice, grasses, and cattails, but in the mid-1800s the first railroad lines were laid. This transformed the natural wonder into a Wisconsin wasteland. Heavy industry came and went, leaving the valley to be nothing but a toxic urban embarrassment.

PUBLIC SYMPOSIUM & FINAL REVIEW: With Keynote Speaker and Design Critic Walter Hood On Saturday, April 15th Walter Hood, founder and creative director of Hood Design Studio and Professor of Landscape Architecture, Environmental Planning and Urban Design at UC-Berkeley, joined The Urban Edge Award participants as the keynote speaker and design critic for the public symposium and final review. Walter Hood is an artist, designer, and educator whose work engages research, art, planning, landscape and urban design to unveil the emergent beauty, strangeness, subjectivity, and idiosyncrasies of specific places. As a pedagogue and a practitioner, Walter is committed to the development of environments that reflect their place and time specifically through the way in which people inhabit various geographies. His work engages oral histories and analyzes physical, environmental, and social patterns to uncover familiar and untold stories.
WORKING WITH WHAT REMAINS The Urban Edge Award: From Waste to Wonder—Working with What Remains design workshops considered how working with what remains, at multiple scales, can be imaginative, innovative, inspiring, and intellectually stimulating. As pedagogues and practitioners, it’s our responsibility to face these issues head-on. We must question our preconceived notions of waste and develop design ideas that strive to conserve resources and challenge the imagination. These design proposals are not self-referential, but instead they engage a wide-range of audiences, including artists, architects, industrial designers, landscape architects, ecologists, environmentalists, anthropologists, and garbologists. They are examples of thoughtful, creative, and collaborative design projects that are rooted in reality but reach for the radical.

THE LEENHOUTS SCHOLARSHIP Introducing Leeann Soo Wacker, 2017 Leenhouts Scholar The Leenhouts Scholarship is the legacy of Lillian and Willis Leenhouts (FAIA) who practiced architecture in Milwaukee from 1945 to 1990. Lillian was a co-founder of the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee School of Architecture & Urban Planning, was the first licensed female architect in Wisconsin, and served as the first woman on the Wisconsin Architectural Licensing Board. Lillian’s strength of character and commitment to architecture serve as inspiration for a $5,000 annual scholarship offered at the School. It was initiated in 1990 with contributions from professional associates and friends of Lillian and Willis Leenhouts and has supported many scholars, including this year’s scholar Leeann Soo Wacker. Leeann Soo Wacker is an MArch student with a BFA in Drawing and Painting and a minor in Art History from the UWM’s Peck School of the Arts. During her undergraduate years, she was awarded a travel scholarship to pursue research in the Galapagos Islands. Her research focused on environmentalism’s omission of peoples living in what are globally referred to as ecological and environmental strongholds. This opportunity fanned the flames of an already existing interest in how environments and peoples interact and respond to one another.
After earning her undergraduate degree, Leeann began developing a program as a member of the board of directors for ARCOS Milwaukee, a nonprofit organization that works with underrepresented Milwaukee Public School students on a local and global scale over a six month period. Leeann and the students traveled to Nicaragua and learned from local organizations how they work within their communities to affect positive change. After coming home the students developed and implemented their own community engagement project inspired by their six months of research and the international trip. Leeann continued her work and interest in community engagement and partnership as a project assistant with SARUP’s Community Design Solutions. While her thesis is in its infancy, Leeann intends to focus her research on conflict areas around the world and their vernacular architectural types. She is interested in developing small scale Home solutions in response to current refugee camp models. She will examine how these small scale Homes can combine to become larger communities that promote people over issues and create communities, not problems.

What is Community Design Solutions?
Featured CDS Projects
COLUMBIA PLAYFIELD Milwaukee Public School’s Department of Recreation worked with CDS to create a new vision for Columbia Playfield. The design process included extensive community involvement that engaged youth and neighborhood members. Two concepts were developed, one with a strong geometric layout with hard surfaces and recreation areas on half and grass on the remaining areas. The second concept captured the multi-generational potential of the park with a network of pathways and recreational areas. Both include a variety of open space areas to allow a variety of programming. GOAT PALACE The Goat Palace is a warehouse structure reinvented as an exciting events space in Milwaukee’s Riverworks creative district. Building uses include an event space, catering, bar, lounge, small office, storage, and an additional meeting room. Two plan schemes were developed, but several plan layouts ultimately emerged due to the extreme flexibility of the space. Because of its flexibility, the main hall can be used for weddings, presentations and lectures, conferences, and performances. MILWAUKEE PARK SIGNS Community Design Solutions (CDS) worked with DPW to create a sign concept that differentiates city parks from their county counterparts. The design concept includes a logo that can be used consistently across the various city parks and begins with the familiar oak leaf logo of the Milwaukee County Parks. The upper portion of the leaf is replaced with a series of iconic Milwaukee buildings. Colors for the logo are drawn from the People’s Flag of Milwaukee. The sign concept has gone out to bid with the hope of some proto-types being built this summer.
Mobile Market
CDS worked with Goodland Mobile Market to design a fresh foods bus
SOUTH 27TH STREET CHARETTE CDS’s seventh Community Design and Development Charette focused on how to transform the South 27th Street corridor from a suburban auto-dominated corridor into a series of walkable destinations. After revisiting past plans for the area, examining the business diversity of the neighborhood, and conducting a series of Focus Groups to gather input from various stakeholders including lenders, developers, residents, city officials, agency leaders, and business owners, a day long charette was held at the UW-Milwaukee School of Architecture and Urban Planning on September 8th, 2016. Architectural firms that participated included: Engberg Anderson, Zimmerman Architectural Studios, Eppstein Uhen, Uihlein Wilson, Kubala Washatko, and GRAEF. Concepts included a model for redeveloping retail strip centers, integrating housing along the enhanced Wilson Creek, including destination retail and medical uses, redeveloping key gateway sites, and providing opportunities for public spaces that can be programmed and serve as destinations for both residents and visitors to the corridor.

WOMEN IN DESIGN
BRT RESEARCH
The Women in Design group was formed as a way to promote the great work being produced by women in our design community. Over the past two years we have held numerous lectures, mentoring events, and panel presentations meant to teach, lift up, and celebrate each other. The group has seen attendance by architects, artists, museum curators, interior designers, landscape architects, branding associates, industry partners, toy designers, and many others. The interdiciplinary nature of the women professionals that are coming together demonstrates our commitment to strengthening our engagement with each other and the larger community.
Associate Professor Robert Schneider led a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) workshop course in fall 2016. This second iteration of the course followed a summer when the initial Milwaukee County East-West Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor Feasibility Study was approved by the City of Milwaukee, Village of Wauwatosa, and Milwaukee County Board. In the studio students focused on messaging to communicate potential benefits and challenges of BRT to key audiences and visioning to identify opportunities and to address key challenges as the East-West Corridor BRT project moves forward and future phases of BRT are considered in the Milwaukee region.
MKE PLAYS 17TH AND VINE PARK -- IMPLEMENTED Colorful play equipment and seating areas provide a new identity for a vacant park at 17th and Vine. CDS worked with MKE Plays, City of Milwaukee, to develop the new playground concept. MOBILE MARKET Community Design Solutions worked with Goodland Mobile Market to design a mobile grocery store that provides a new, fresh grocery option for food deserts in Milwaukee. This mobile grocery store will be constructed using an existing Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) bus. The exterior reflects a market or traveling trolley, not to be mistaken as an advertisement or MCTS bus. The passenger side is designed to engage the public with a retractable awning and hanging baskets, the interior is organized to provide an accessible venue with containers for both fresh and refrigerated items. CALVARY COMMUNITY CENTER Calvary Baptist Church has a vision to provide a community center and wellness clinic within their Teutonia Avenue neighborhood. The goal for the community center is to enrich the lives of both the church membership and the neighboring community. CDS concepts include a large multipurpose space to host a variety of functions; social gatherings, children’s activities and worship, along with several classrooms, a resource center, outdoor play area and several patient and doctor rooms as part of the wellness clinic.

GRANVILLE CHARETTE CDS’s eighth Community Design and Development Charette focused on how to transform the vacant retail along the Brown Deer Road and 76th Street corridors. Revisiting past plans for the area, examining the business diversity of the neighborhood, and conducting a series of focus groups provided essential input. The focus groups included lenders, developers, residents, city officials, agency leaders, and business owners. The day long charette included six local architectural firms: Engberg Anderson, Zimmerman Architectural Studios, Continuum Architects and Planners, Uihlein Wilson, Galbraith Carnahan Architects, and American Design Inc. Concepts included transforming a vacant shopping mall and retail centers into light industrial uses, an urban agriculture and retail hub, job training, integrating housing along Brown Deer Road, converting Johnson’s Park to a youth recreation center, and providing opportunities for public spaces that can be programmed and serve as destinations for both residents and visitors to the corridor.

Donna Robertson, FAIA
Francis Kere’s Serpentine Pavilion Blake Villwock and Adriana Arteaga graduated from SARUP in 2012 after completing their joint thesis as part of the Marcus Prize Studio under the direction of Burkina Faso-born architect Francis Kéré and SARUP Professor Chris Cornelius. Through the Marcus Prize Studio they had the opportunity to connect with Barkow Leibinger and Kéré Architecture, two internationally-renowned offices located in Berlin. When Blake and Adriana made the decision together to find work abroad, they sought the help of Cologne-based SARUP 1998 alumnus Scott W. Pollock who guided them through the process of obtaining residency papers to live and work in Germany. During his time at Barkow Leibinger, Blake quickly rose through the ranks from working in the model shop to leading design and research for high-performance façades, prototypes, and pavilions. Notable projects include a museum for Mercedez-Benz in Stuttgart, a residential high-rise on Alexanderplatz in Berlin, a temporary summer house commissioned by the Serpentine Galleries in London, and a kinetic wall for the 14th International Architecture Exhibition Fundamentals (2014) curated by Rem Koolhaas in Venice. Adriana’s responsibilites at Kéré Architecture initially ranged from supporting the designers to handling all Englishlanguage correspondence for the office. Eventually she took over all press relations—coordinating publications for print and web, managing the website, establishing a social media presence, ghost-writing for Francis Kéré and assisting him with public lectures and interviews. She assisted with design, writing, and producing press materials for projects

such as the Obama Legacy Campus in Kogelo, Kenya. She also worked closely with cultural institutions such as Copenhagen’s Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, selecting and curating archival material and leading the design of an architectural installation for the exhibition Africa: Architecture, Culture, Identity (2015).
After three years at Barkow Leibinger, Blake decided to make the jump to Kéré Architecture’s growing studio. With increasing demands and interest from the US and the UK, Adriana and Blake embarked on managing and leading projects in English-speaking countries in addition to supporting the other design teams for projects in Europe and Africa. Significant projects they’ve worked on include the Burkina Faso National Assembly and Memorial Park in the capital city of Ouagadougou, which was exhibited at the 15th International Architecture Exhibition Reporting from the Front (2016) in Venice, curated by Alejandro Aravena. They also produced other exhibitions and architectural installations including: Place for Gathering at the 1st Chicago Architecture Biennial; The State of the Art of Architecture (2015), the Colorscape, and Francis Kéré: Building for Community (2016) at the Philadelphia Museum of Art; and Radically Simple (2016) at the Architekturmuseum der TU Munich. When the Serpentine Galleries selected Francis Kéré to design the 2017 Serpentine Pavilion in London, Blake and Adriana led the design and worked closely with engineers and fabricators during the notoriously short sixmonth project schedule. Blake and Adriana will be back in the midwest this year for the 2nd Chicago Architecture Biennial Make New History.

SUPERjury, an AIAS, student-funded, annual all-school award program that celebrates the exceptional and diverse design work generated at the School. This day of review, discourse, stimulating ideas, and imagery was made possible by a joint effort of the AIAS, SARUP staff, and Department of Architecture faculty. The quality and quantity of work presented at SUPERjury in May was stupendous, representing the enormous range of intellectual diversity present at SARUP. This has become an opportunity to celebrate our achievements and discuss the future trajectory of the School. Three SUPERjurors provide an outsider’s perspective on the student work relative to broad issues effecting curriculum development and education. This past year invited jurors included Donna Robertson, former dean and Professor, Illinois Institute of Technology; Rosalyne Shieh, Critic at Yale & Founding Partner of SCHAUM/SHIEH; and Jonathan Solomon, Associate Professor and Director, School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
McNair Scholars “The McNair Scholars Program is designed to prepare undergraduate students for doctoral studies through involvement in research and other scholarly activities. McNair participants are either first-generation college students with financial need, or members of a group that is traditionally underrepresented in graduate education and have demonstrated strong academic potential. The goal of the McNair Scholars Program is to increase graduate degree awards for students from underrepresented segments of society.” Associate Professor Arijit Sen mentored these McNair Scholars: Tommy Yang (2016), Teonna Cooksey (2016), and Jared Schmitz (2017).
