UTSOAThe University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture

GONE TO TEXAS!

On Tuesday, August 26, just prior to the University's evening "Gone to Texas" celebrations, the School of Architecture held its annual all-school assembly, followed by a pizza party in the Goldsmith Hall courtyard. At the assembly, Dean Fritz Steiner welcomed new and returning students and faculty members to the new academic year.

Also at the assembly, Associate Dean Nichole Wiedemann presented the school's 2007-2008 Design Excellence Awards.




The 2007-2008 Design Excellence Awards

The new school year began with a pizza party.


Harrison Fraker, professor and former dean, College of Environmental Design, UC Berkeley, and UTSOA alumnus and Advisory Council member Rick Archer [B.Arch. '79] were invited speakers at the fall faculty retreat on August 25.

The Design Excellence Awards acknowledge the very best studio achievements throughout the year in landscape architecture, interior design, and architecture. From beginning design studios through advanced, each design instructor can nominate one student from their class of 12-18 students. At the end of spring, the nominees are asked to exhibit their work in the Mebane Gallery as a component of the 2007-08 Student Work Exhibition currently on display. The nominees are then reviewed by a panel of faculty and a final determination is made for the Design Excellence Awards.

SUPPORT UTSOA

UNIVERSITY TO RAISE ENDOWMENT LEVELS JANUARY 1, 2009

The financial support we are able to provide students, faculty, and programs through endowments is essential to our ability to attract the nation's best and brightest. With this in mind, the University has decided to increase the minimum funding levels for endowments so that we can compete with the financial packages and state-of-the-art facilities offered by our peer institutions to recruit top students and scholars.

Endowments at The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture are a sound investment in a better future. With an endowed gift, you provide permanent support for the school. Your gift is invested - never spent - and each year a distribution, like dividends on a mutual fund account, is made to your chosen program or area. Investment earnings above the dividend rate help the endowment value grow over time, to keep pace with inflation and maintain your endowment's spending power.

There are many endowment opportunities and funding levels available at the School of Architecture. Choosing what your endowed gift will support is simply a matter of selecting a program that matches your interests. From professorships to book funds, from undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships to deans' excellence funds, your legacy can take almost any form.

You may take up to five years to fund an endowment, and once it is officially established, you or anyone else may continue to add to its principal at any time. Moreover, by selecting the title of your endowment, you can forever link your name, or that of a family member, friend, or organization, to scholarly excellence at the university.

For donors interested in establishing an endowment at the current levels, all that is needed is a signed endowment agreement and 20% of the total gift by December 31, 2008. If you are interested in this opportunity, please contact Assistant Dean Julie Hooper at 512.471.6114 or jhooper@austin.utexas.edu for more details.

Various types of endowments are listed below; the new funding levels are effective January 1, 2009:


Endowment type Former minimum levels New mimimum levels
Chair $1,000,000 $1,500,000
Professorship $300,000 $500,000
Endowed Presidential Fellowship $100,000 $300,000
Graduate fellowship $50,000 $200,000
Graduate research endowment $40,000 $100,000
Endowed Presidential Scholarship $50,000 $100,000
Undergraduate scholarship $25,000 $50,000
Program support endowment $25,000 $50,000
Undergraduate research endowment $20,000 $25,000
Endowed book fund $10,000 $10,000

Endowments are gifts that keep giving forever. They are a powerful way for you to support the School of Architecture now and as a legacy for future generations.


HONORING THE LIFE AND ACHIEVEMENTS OF FRANCISCO "PACO" ARUMÍ NOÉ

Francisco Arumí Noé

When Dr. Francisco Arumí Noé (or "Paco" as many knew him) first began teaching at The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture in 1971, he was decades ahead of the curve. Long before skyrocketing energy prices brought widespread public attention to the true social and environmental costs of excessive energy use, Paco instilled in his students the importance of designing effectively with rather than in opposition to "Mama Natura." His pioneering research led to cutting-edge developments in energy analysis and efficiency standards for buildings, and under his leadership, the school established what is now the master's degree program in sustainable design.

On September 16, 2005, we lost this treasured friend, mentor, and visionary. We invite you to join us in honoring his legacy by making a gift to the:

FRANCISCO ARUMÍ NOÉ MEMORIAL FELLOWSHIP IN SUSTAINABLE DESIGN

This fund will provide vital financial support to graduate students committed to the study, research, and advancement of sustainable design.

To date, we have raised nearly $25,000, but we need your help to reach our final goal of $50,000 by December 31. On January 1, 2009, the minimum required to establish a graduate fellowship at The University of Texas at Austin increases to $200,000, so please consider making a gift now to fulfill this endowment while the goal is within reach!

$5, $50, or $500..., any level of gift makes a difference! Visit Paco's memorial web page to make a contribution today! And, share your favorite memories of our dear friend and colleague.

Questions? Contact Julie Hooper at jhooper@austin.utexas.edu or 512.471.6114.

Associate Professor Robert Paterson and Devashree Saha have co-authored an article, titled "Local Government Efforts to Promote the 'Three Es' of Sustainable Development," which appears in the fall 2008 issue of JPER: Journal of Planning Education and Research. (Devashree just graduated from the LBJ School with a Ph.D. in Public Policy.)

The purpose of their research was to find out the extent to which local governments in the United States are committed to the principles of sustainable development in their planning practices. To that end, they conducted a survey in 2006 of medium to large cities asking, among other questions, "Are local governments making an equal effort to promote the environment, economy, and equity dimensions (also referred to as the 'Three Es') of sustainable development, or are some sustainability initiatives being pursued more vigorously than others?"

ALUMNI NEWS

ALUMNI UPDATES

National Opera House, Oslo, Norway, designed by Snøhetta.

Snøhetta's design for the Norwegian National Opera House in Oslo is featured on the cover of the August 2008 edition of Architectural Record. Alumnus Craig Dykers [B.Arch. '85], along with Tarald Lundevall and Kjetil Traedal Thorsen, are the contributing partners.

Taking ten years to plan, fund, and build, the new Opera House will serve as a cornerstone in Oslo's developing harbor district of Bjorvika.

With its slope rising from the water and the large roof area, the Opera House appears more as an element of nature than a building. The architects have reinforced this impression through a careful choice of materials. Italian Carrara marble was used to cover the roof, forecourt, and foyer floor -- a total of 25,000 square meters. Norwegian green granite was used to clad vertical surfaces -- the north wall and the zone down towards the sea. On entering the foyer, the public will meet an extensive and massive curved wall of oak. In the main auditorium, the floor, inner and outer walls, balcony fronts, and a circular ceiling element are also clad in oak. The production section, stage tower, and technical tower are clad in aluminium sheets. The sheets have been artistically designed with a pattern that plays light and shadow, bringing life to the surfaces.

Snøhetta's intentions, as Dykers asserts in the AR article, were to "revive the city of imagination in Oslo. The people that scale the roof or pass through the lobby or dangle their feet in the fjord--we hope they will attain a sense of ownership, not only of the building, but also of the contents within."

Wildflower Center Research Featured in Nature

Blackfoot daisy and four-nerve daisy bloom on a Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center test roof, part of the Center's green roof research.

The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center's research on "green" roofs was recently featured in the prestigious scientific journal, Nature.

In some circles, vegetated or "green" roofs are being touted as having almost mystical properties--of providing increased thermal efficiency and stormwater detention, reducing the urban heat island effect, and even serving as a wildlife habitat in highly urban environments. Green roofs seemed too good to be true, and so the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and Austech Roof Consultants set out to test the accuracy of all the claims and see if green roofs in Central Texas could live up to the mythology surrounding them.

The research at the Center compares water use, water retention, water quality, plant success, and thermal gradients on six different extensive green roof products to a "cool" roof and a traditional blacktop roof. So far, the findings on water retention and thermal gradients have been published, and the other areas will be covered in the future.

The study takes place on hot tub-sized mini roofs at a publicly accessible research site at the Wildflower Center. Each test rooftop is planted with the same 18 native plants and provided the same volume of water for irrigation. The study involving green roofs by six different manufacturers has revealed that not all green roofs are created equal, with some performing no better than black-topped roofs at retaining water.

View the full Nature article online here.

For additional information about the green roof research at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, including a link to real-time temperature data between the different roof types, visit their web site.
