DESIGNING THE FUTURE
Trey Hoffman [B.Arch. '78], Corey Credeur [B.S.A.S. '97], Fritz Steiner, and Kristy Emmrich [B.S.I.D. '07] at the Houston Alumni & Friends Reception at The Grove Restaurant, February 11.
Alumni and friends gathered on a beautiful Wednesday evening, February 11, at The Grove Restaurant at Discovery Green park in Houston. Designed by Professor Larry Speck, Page Southerland Page, The Grove was a perfect setting for conversation and viewing the downtown Houston skyline.
Dean Fritz Steiner welcomed the group with the following remarks:
”Rapid urbanization has changed the landscapes in which we live.
”An ever-increasing population is migrating into large metropolitan areas, forcing those of us in the design and planning disciplines to address critical issues that are threatening our vulnerable planet.
”We face challenges: energy conservation, water supplies, clogged transportation systems, and climate change.
”In Texas we have the fastest growing population in the country. We are also home to one of the fastest growing megaregions in the United States: The Texas Triangle.
”The world is changing around us. There’s no doubt about that. And, certainly, in many ways it’s becoming more challenging, and with challenges come opportunities.
Polly Block [B.S.I.D. '87] and Roger Luce.
”In the School of Architecture, we accept the challenge and the opportunity. We invent change.
”From the Alley Flats Initiative in East Austin, to the Dallas Urban Lab, to the Beijing Studio, our faculty and students learn through hands-on experience. Working with scholars who are also reflective practitioners, our students are given the opportunity to marry theory with application.
”And in the School of Architecture, we change people. They change the world.
”We have a long history of excellence at the School of Architecture – almost 100 years in fact. But excellence comes at a price.
”It’s a common misconception that the university’s Permanent University Fund--or PUF--provides an endless pot of gold for the university. It doesn’t. As a matter of fact, during the last fiscal year, the PUF only provided 7% of the university’s overall budget. Seven percent. That’s a tiny piece of the pie.
”Another piece of the pie comes from the state. However, from what was once a generous contribution of 47% in 1984, our state funding has now dwindled to below 17%.
”In truth, we are certainly not poor, yet we lack the necessary funds to invest in excellence at the level that is demanded of a top university. Endowment funds are critical in this day and age, because they are flexible and geared for investment in excellence and because they are invested--not spent. This assures continuity to the programs and people we invest in.
Alexandra Davis and Robert Davis [B.Arch. '87].
”To this end, The University of Texas at Austin has launched a $3 billion capital campaign. The Campaign for Texas began on September 1, 2006, and will run through August 31, 2014. Our school’s portion of the campaign, called Designing the Future, has a goal of $31.5 million.
”Now that’s a large figure. But it’s not one we came to lightly. It represents vital areas in which we MUST excel in order to maintain our rank among the top 10 architecture schools in the nation and, I would say, in the world.
”Our first priority is to invest in people--namely, faculty and students. Especially graduate students.
”At a major research university, excellent graduate students are key. In the School of Architecture, graduate students comprise half our student body. We consistently find ourselves short of funding in trying to recruit the best graduate students.
”Faculty recruitment and retention is a very competitive business, not unlike trying to recruit the best young quarterback, whom, I like to think, is Colt McCoy. As Coach Brown would understand, I am increasingly struggling to keep our fantastic faculty in the face of very enticing offers from the Ivy League and other Top Tier universities.
”We must also invest in all our academic programs, and especially our two centers, the Center for American Architecture and Design and the Center for Sustainable Development.
Sara Vicklund-Braud [B.Arch. '78] and Tom Braud.
”These centers cannot operate without a high level of private support from alums and donors like you. It takes a tremendous amount of money to produce cutting edge research and to fund projects that aid our community, our state, our country and, in some cases, the world.
”Finally, I believe that all of you know and love the landmark Battle Hall. Battle Hall celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2011, and last year, the AIA named Battle to its list of “150 Most Favorite Works of Architecture in America.”
”Battle is suffering from the symptoms of aging (something baby boomers like me can personally relate to) and desperately needs rehabilitation. At the heart of campus, it can and should serve as a model for preservation, accessibility, and sustainability.
”A campaign cannot succeed without a strong leadership team. I want to thank Rick Archer from Overland Partners, who is serving as our campaign chair; Hal Box and Deedie Rose, our honorary chairs; and my colleague Larry Speck, whom is serving on the campaign committee and who I will introduce in a moment.
”Finally, I want to share the great news that as of today, we have raised over $4.3 million for the School of Architecture’s campaign, and I want to acknowledge some generous people in the room tonight who have supported that effort.
Mindy Wilkinson Mechlem [B.Arch. '02], Jeffrey Mechlem [B.Arch. '02], Maria Shaner [M.Arch. '04], and Robert Angel.
”First, I want to thank Jackson Ryan Architects, and in particular our alumna, Martha Seng, for their leadership and support in helping to establish the Amy Dryden Endowed Scholarship in Amy’s memory. Amy’s family and many friends have also contributed to this effort, and we want to say ‘thank you.’
”I want to thank the employees of Gensler, and Gensler corporate, for their wonderful generosity in raising almost $30,000 to establish the new Gensler Exhibitions Endowment this spring. Employees, some alums, some not, contributed many gifts to this fund, matched by Gensler. Thank you.
”I want to thank our friends at Page Southerland Page for recently establishing a new graduate fellowship for the architecture program in honor of alumnus Matt Kreisle, a principal of the firm.
”Finally, Dallas philanthropists Deedie and Rusty Rose pledged $1 millon at the end of 2008 to support our Community and Regional Planning Program. I hear there’s a bit of a rivalry between Houston and Dallas, but I am sure you Houstonians can join me in celebrating this tremendous gift to the school.
”I know these are unsure economic times. While we are sensitive to today’s challenges, which impact all of us, we know that our goals extend over many years. I want you to also know that all gifts of all sizes make a difference to our school.
”Our journey is a marathon, not a sprint.
”And the marathon begins now.
”As the Chinese proverb says, ‘the journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.’
”We hope you take that step with us.
”Again, thank you all for being here tonight and showing your support to our school.
”It is now my pleasure to introduce my colleague Larry Speck, the W.L. Moody, Jr. Centennial Professor in Architecture, who is also the architect of The Grove.”

MATTHEW F. KREISLE, III/PAGE SOUTHERLAND PAGE GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP IN ARCHITECTURE
Page Southerland Page has long supported the School of Architecture, creating the Page Southerland Page Faculty Fellowship in 1984. At the end of 2008, the firm made a generous gift to create a new graduate fellowship in support of students in the First Professional and Post Professional Master of Architecture degree programs. The Matthew F. Kreisle, III/Page Southerland Page Graduate Fellowship in Architecture honors UTSOA alum and firm principal, Matthew F. Kreisle, III, AIA [B.Arch '72]. The School of Architecture extends our thanks and appreciation to Page Southerland Page for their generosity.
C. WILLIAM BRUBAKER/PERKINS+WILL ENDOWED PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLARSHIP
C. William Brubaker.
The Chicago, Dallas, and Houston offices of Perkins+Will have created an Endowed Presidential Scholarship in honor of alumnus Charles William "Bill" Brubaker [B.Arch '50]. Bill joined the architectural practice of Perkins+Will in Chicago in 1950 and worked there until his retirement in 1998, rising from student intern to President and Chairman of the Board.
The C. William Brubaker/Perkins+Will Endowed Presidential Scholarship will be used to support the highest caliber undergraduate students from across the United States. We want to express our thanks to Perkins+Will for their generous support of students in the School of Architecture.
RAQUEL ELIZONDO STAFF EXCELLENCE FUND
During her tenure at the School of Architecture, former Assistant Dean for Administration, Raquel Elizondo, advocated for the creation of the first-ever endowed fund to facilitate growth and improvement through professional development opportunities for administrative staff. In recognition of Raquel's impact on the school, we have initiated a campaign to create the Raquel Elizondo Staff Excellence Fund. To date, we have raised over $21,000 in seed money and have less than $3,000 to go! We want to extend our thanks to all donors to the fund and especially to Larry Speck and Fritz Steiner, who have made significant leadership gifts to this campaign.
If you would like to make a gift to support the Raquel Elizondo Staff Excellence Fund, please contact Development Associate Amy Martin at amartin@austin.utexas.edu or 512.471.6029.

UTSOA - TSINGHUA STUDIO FINAL REVIEW IN BEIJING
Beijing Studio students Sara Hammerschmidt, Erin Stark, and Bo Wu.
On January 5, 2009, the Beijing Studio, jointly organized by UTSOA and Tsinghua University, held their final review on the Tsinghua campus in Beijing. Architecture student Kevin Moore, landscape architecture student Wen Shang, and community & regional planning faculty Ming Zhang representing UTSOA participated in the final review.
The joint studio took place in fall 2008. The studio is "joint" as it included students and faculty in architecture, landscape architecture, and planning from both universities. (For more details on the studio, see UTSOA eNews, 23 October 2008). A series of joint activities were carried out for the studio. In summer 2008, 15 students and three faculty from UTSOA visited the studio site in Beijing and toured other cities in China (see UTSOA eNews, 12 June 2008). During the week of October 20-24, 2008, three faculty and four students from Tsinghua traveled to Austin for a mid-term review.
On December 11, 2008, the Tsinghua team participated in the UTSOA final review virtually; their design scheme was transmitted through the internet and presented with recorded audio. The final review at Tsinghua drew an end to their first joint effort. Participants from both universities have found the joint studio a very positive and rewarding experience. Plans for another joint studio in 2010 is already under way.

"Perceiving Space: The Hal Box and Logan Wagner Collection of Mexican Architecture and Urban Design"
Every summer from 1985 to 1996, with the assistance of volunteer teams from Earthwatch, W.L. Moody, Jr. Centennial Professor Emeritus in Architecture and former dean of the School of Architecture Hal Box, FAIA, and Dr. Logan Wagner [M.Arch. '79; Ph.D. in Latin American Studies, with an architectural history concentration, '97] explored, photographed, measured, and made scale drawings of over ninety towns in Mexico. The collection of over 8,000 slides taken during this period was donated to the School of Architecture's Visual Resources Collection (VRC).
The exhibit highlights a selection of images from a collection that documents communal open spaces built in Mexico from 2000 B.C. to the present, concentrating on the 16th and 17th century fusion of Mesoamerican and European architecture and town planning. Contained in the collection are images of sacred open spaces formed by ancient pyramids and the plazas, atrios, cloisters, and towns' central plazas.
In 2006, the VRC and ARTstor, a digital library of nearly one million images, agreed to collaborate on a project to digitize and distribute images from the collection through the ARTstor Digital Library. With generous support from ARTstor, graduate student Kristina Kupferschmid cataloged and selected almost 6,000 images for digitization from January 2007 through September 2008. The Hal Box and Logan Wagner Collection of Mexican Architecture and Urban Design will be available in ARTstor in spring 2009 and as part of the VRC's online Image Collection.
