ALL-SCHOOL ASSEMBLY ADDRESS

On Tuesday afternoon, August 29, faculty, students, and staff of The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture gathered in Jessen Auditorium for an all-school assembly. Associate Dean Louise Harpman welcomed all those present in the following address:

Good afternoon and welcome.

To all our students, both new and returning: I say "welcome" and "welcome back." I'm Louise Harpman, Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs, and it's my pleasure to lead this convocation today.

Our assembly today is similar to a State of the School address, except that any member of the faculty could give the talk, and each one of us would put weight on different areas of the school--so much so that it might not look like a "state" of the School, but lots of states. That said, I think I can speak in some general terms about our School, and then follow with some specific challenges and observations.

We are a school of architecture--one school of architecture offering a variety of degrees. We offer undergraduate degrees in architecture and interior design. We offer graduate degrees in architecture, landscape architecture, community and regional planning, historic preservation, history, sustainable design, and urban design.

We are a community of approximately 45 full-time faculty members and 700 students. Of the students--half are undergraduates, half are graduate students. We share the same buildings, the same faculty, the same courses, the same staff, but perhaps more importantly, we share a goal--which is a commitment to engage and shape the built environment in a positive way.

By the fact of your being here--at an elite University and in some of the most rigorous and selective programs that this University offers--we believe that you are already committed to this.

We believe that you are committed to understanding the multiple constituencies that affect the built environment and to prepare yourselves for leadership roles within your chosen area of expertise. And we're here to help you get there.

The motto of this University is "What starts here changes the world."

Take some time to think about this--you're starting here, and you're expected to change the world. The University is clear about its aspirations for you, and we are, too: this School thinks BIG.

The design of the built environment is our shared focus, and we need to take our roles as professionals and those training to become professionals very seriously. Though our disciplines are distinct, we need to learn with and from one another. We are fully interdependent. Our neighborhoods and our work places affect our health, our welfare, and our happiness. How we design, plan, and use buildings, parks, roads, and rails is intricately bound to our personal and communal well-being. And I'm talking about our well-being as a city, a state, a region, and a planet. We need to recognize that the local is global. Yet observing this trend is one thing; doing something about it is another. I believe that we're all here to do, not just observe.

This leads me into my more specific comments. A University is conceived as a robust and fluid organization--one that supports a healthy and respectful exchange of ideas. This is a place that supports your curiosity and independence. During your time here, you should use the faculty and your colleagues to develop your own ideas, test them, defend them, reject them, and then come up with some different, possibly better ideas. As you're coming into school, you need to challenge some of your "presets." You may emerge more firmly grounded in some of your views, but others will likely come forward. This is a good thing. We call this learning.

In thinking specifically about learning, I'd like to share with you some of my ideas about where architectural education is in this country, in the first decade of the 21st century. These ideas, like yours, are open to challenge and revision. And I'll borrow the structure from a speech by former President Bill Clinton, who I met when he gave the Commencement address this spring at the LBJ School: Clinton had three questions that he thought students needed to hear--that they needed to have answers for. I only have one question: I know my limits. Your job is not to agree with my question or answer, but to address it, over the course of your education, or over your lifetime, and develop your own point of view.

For me, the question is: "How do I best use my talents and my time to affect positive change?"

This is a loaded question: talent, time, and values. Here's my answer, and I believe it's intimately related to the position of architecture in society today:

I believe that we're in a time of "architect as agent."

And I would compare this to "architect as technician"--whose training would develop expertise in identifying, quantifying, and solving technical problems. Also, I would compare this to "architect as artist"--whose expertise would be in giving form to ideas, and creating places of delight, refuge, interest, excitement.

In my view, one cannot discount the other, nor assign priority to itself.

If we value technology--the science of materials and methods of construction--we need to understand its power and its limits. There can be elegant solutions to technical problems, but if they're housed in butt-ugly buildings, or simply applied as a set of trendy gew-gaws, then architecture has failed. Or if I have to pull out a spreadsheet to tell you how great my building is, architecture fails again. No one will love an ugly building. No one will fight to protect or preserve an ugly building 50 years from now.

If we value beauty--the skillful and elegant resolution of design decisions at every scale--we need to educate our eyes and our hands to create that beauty. We need to create an architecture that understands the design problem is multi-valent and multi-scalar. We need to demand beauty not only for the private client who can pay for it, but for the public. We need to see that design talent and training is coupled with larger social needs--people with needs, groups of people with needs, towns and cities with needs--we call them clients. If the architect comes in only to "make it look good," then architecture has failed yet again.

Architect as agent.

The architect needs to be trained as a designer, as a sophisticated player--in fact, the leader--in the real world of politics, money, and time.

Architects do need mastery over a vast array of ever-expanding technical knowledge. Yes, the architect must be a technician.

Architects do need to develop their design sensibilities to create elegant solutions to complex problems. Yes, the architect must also be an aesthetician. The aesthetician is necessary--let me make it clear where my priorities are--but it's not enough.

The "architect as agent" asks all of us to synthesize these demands and engage our communities in critical and meaningful ways. Architects (and with them, all the design disciplines here at the School) must develop and use their keen sense of observation, their time and talents, to educate themselves and their public; and we're here to help you develop the skills and critical faculties that will allow you to enter and lead your respective professions. The architects, landscape architects, interior designers, and planners I most admire are "out there" in the world of practice, but also "in here" at the School of Architecture--creating the opportunities and realizing the projects. They are not solely in the position of responder--they are at once identifying problems, engaging the public, finding the money, and creating scenarios that will play out over time. They are agents--agents of social change, and they are leading the field.

So that's my question and my answer. And here's why I think I'm right--we're already doing it here at the School--at the international, national, and local levels. Across all disciplines, at all scales. I encourage you, the students, to find out about all the opportunities already here for you and then to go out and make your own.

Francisco "Paco" Arumí-Noé Memorial Sundial Competition

To honor the memory of Professor Francisco "Paco" Arumí-Noé, the School of Architecture is currently hosting a competition to design a permanent sundial for the south face of Goldsmith Hall. Each fall, Professor Arumí-Noé would regale his solar geometry students with anecdotes about the disastrous effect that air-conditioning coupled with cheap energy has had on the practice of architecture--creation of mass-amnesia in the profession about how to design with, rather than in opposition to, climate. As an object of beauty and utility that elegantly expresses the relationship of the sun and earth, the sundial seemed to Paco to be an ideal pedagogical tool with which to instill in future generations of architects the importance of working with natural processes.

Paco regularly assigned the design of a sundial as a final project for his Solar Geometry students and worked to garner support for the construction of a student-designed sundial in the empty recessed panel on the south face of Goldsmith Hall. Students began several efforts to realize this goal, but none came to fruition. Nevertheless, Professor Arumí-Noé's dedication to the idea was unflagging. Though we wish he could have lived to see it happen, construction of a sundial that can serve to teach architecture students, indeed all students that pass down Inner-Campus Drive, about the relationship of the sun and earth is a fitting memorial for a man driven by that same purpose.

Professor Arumí-Noé, an unlikely candidate to become a fixture in a school of architecture, will be missed dearly by the many whose lives he touched. A study in contrasts, this ultra-rational physicist was driven by an overwhelming passion for life and beauty. The ideal sundial would embody similar characteristics. It must reflect a set of purely rational physical principles, but should also transcend these principles as a thing of intellectual and physical beauty.

We invite current students, alumni, and others with a connection to Professor Arumí-Noé to submit designs for this memorial sundial competition. A full competition brief may be downloaded at http://soa.utexas.edu/events/ paco_sundial.pdf, and proposals are due by 5:00 p.m. on September 21.

Faculty Scholarship and Awards

Projects by Professor Larry Speck and Associate Dean Kevin Alter were among several award-winning local projects featured in a recent episode titled "Design Matters" of KLRU-TV's Austin Now series. Professor Speck's sleek downtown loft project and Professor Alter and alterstudio's new Hillel-Topfer Center for Jewish Life were among others recently honored by AIA Austin (the American Institute of Architects) for their design savvy and as contributions to our community.

Austin Now, KLRU's local cultural affairs program, is hosted by Tom Spencer, who is teaching a "Native Plants" course at the School this fall.

Associate Dean Kevin Alter returned recently from New York City, where he was one of five jurors for Architecture Magazine's 5th annual Home of the Year Award. There were several hundred entries, and the jury also included Julie Eizenberg of Koning Eizenberg Architecture in Los Angeles, Robert Hull of Miller Hull Partnership in Seattle, Rocio Romero of Rocio Romero Modern Homes, and Marc Tsurumaki of Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis in New York City.

Projects from his firm, alterstudio (which also includes Lecturers Ernesto Cragnolino and Russell Kreppart), were featured in two recent publications -- "Then There Was Light," Austin Monthly Home, Summer 2006 (Hidden Cove residence), and "Highgrove Terrace Residence," The Good Life, July 2006.

The second phase of their Hidden Cove project won an IIDA (the Texas/Oklahoma chapter) Design Excellence Award, which was officially announced at their Gala on August 25, in Dallas.

Alterstudio's Texas Hillel, the Topfer Center for Jewish Life, was awarded a Texas Society of Architects award, which will be awarded at the annual meeting on November 4.

Additionally, the firm contributed 10 pieces to Arthouse's 5 x 7 exhibition, which were exhibited in Austin and Houston, all of which were sold at their auctions. They produced some additional pieces for their 5 x 7 exhibition in Dallas in August.

Anthony Alofsin, Roland Roessner Centennial Professor, presented a lecture at the Graham Foundation in Chicago on September 13 in conjunction with events celebrating Louis Sullivan's 150th birthday. He presented the work of his collaboration with UCLA's Experiential Technology Center that used Sullivan's ornament as the basis for developing experimental design methodologies for virtual reality and advanced architectural visualization. The Graham Foundatin funded Dr. Alofsin's project. The lecture was followed with a book signing for his new publication, When Buildings Speak, Architecture as Language in the Habsburge Empire and its Aftermath, 1866-1933 (University of Chicago Press). For more information, contact http://www.grahamfoundation.org/.

Steven Moore (Bartlett Cocke Professor of Architecture and Planning), and Andrew Karvonen (Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Candidate), will co-chair a special session of the Annual Meeting of the Society for the Social Study of Science (4S) to be held in Vancouver, British Columbia, November 3-6, on the topic of "Science and Technology Studies (STS) and the City." The special session will also include papers, in addition to those by Moore and Karvonen, by Dr. David Brain (New College of Florida, Sociology), Dr. Ralf Brand [Ph.D.CRP '03] (U. Manchester, UK; planning), Nichole Dusyk (UBC, STS), Dr. Andrew Jameson (U. Aalborg, Sweden; STS). As a group these scholars argue that Science and Technology Studies provide a fresh way to interpret and propose action for urban change. This event is a precursor to a major transdisciplinary conference on the topic, planned for fall of 2007 at UT-Austin, that will engage architects, landscape architects, urban designers, and planners as well as STS scholars.

Associate Professor Danilo Udovicki-Selb's article on the new Denver Art Museum was published in the September 2006 edition of Il Giornale di Architettura. The Frederic C. Hamilton Building museum expansion, designed by Daniel Libeskind will open in October 2006.

Dr. Udovicki-Selb was recently elected to the Executive Committee of the UT Center for European Studies (CES).

Dean's Journal

BIENNALE REFLECTIONS

An Excerpt from the Dean's Biennale Diary

On Tuesday, August 29, as the rest of the University participated in the annual "Gone to Texas" festivities, I went to Venice. That afternoon, Associate Deans Kent Butler and Kevin Alter held an orientation session for graduate students. At 5:00, Associate Dean Louise Harpman welcomed back students and faculty in Jessen Auditorium. Afterwards, students and faculty gathered for barbecue in the Goldsmith Courtyard.

For months, several faculty and students have worked on our Gulf Coast exhibit, emphasizing the theme of resilience, for the 10th Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale. I traveled to Venice to help with the final installation and to participate in the opening activities. Because of the annual alumni mini-symposium back in Austin, I would only be able to participate in the first of four days of opening ceremonies in Venice, but I could help with fine-tuning the installation.

The 2006 Architecture Biennale, curated by London architect and urbanist Richard (Ricky) Burdett, differs from past exhibits. Instead of focusing on individual star architects, the Biennale addresses the larger theme of "Cities, Architecture, and Society." The goal is to present an "overview on how architects, planners, and designers are responding to different urban complexities around the world." The exhibits addressed issues such as migration, sprawl, de-industrialization, and social change in the first urban century...

...Our exhibit is more stunning than I expected, reflecting much work both here in Venice and back in Austin. The visual depictions of Katrina's consequences are especially powerful. I think we've done a fine job collecting and representing the work of those involved in actual plans for recovery (including Calthorpe Associates, Fregonese Calthorpe, and WRT), as well as speculations by 13 other universities. Wilfried Wang calls our exhibit a "mini-biennale within the Biennale." Our team's concepts, developed under the leadership of Nichole Wiedemann and Jason Sowell, suggest powerful new ideas for the recovery, especially relating to infrastructure. The visual representations are accomplished, clear, and sophisticated; and our exhibit was made possible through the generous support of Fred Clarke and Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, Howard and Cindy Rachofsky, Mike McCall, the University Co-operative Society, and Diane Cheatham and Urban Edge Developers.

EXPLORATION SYMPOSIUM

I returned to Austin from Dallas with a plane full of Buckeye fans, part of the reported thousands of Ohioans (the estimates ranged from 16,000 to 40,000) who came to Texas for the "big game." We began our fourth annual alumni mini-symposium, "Exploration," the next day at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center on Friday, September 8. This was the first UT-Austin event at the Center after we officially welcomed them as part of the University earlier that week. Our first speaker was Wilfried Wang on "Exploring Purposeful Design." He gave examples of purposeful exploration through three projects: a plan for the Hombroich Space Lab, concepts for the School of Architecture complex of buildings with Barbara Hoidn and David Heymann, and the Venice Biennale exhibit. In each case, Wilfried showed how the design evolved through exploration.

He was followed by Marie Crane, a social psychologist from M. Crane & Associates, who addressed "Exploring Psychology of Public Relations and Public Opinion." Dr. Crane defined social psychology as "an attempt to understand and explain how the thought, feeling, and behavior of individuals are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others." She discussed how people perceive and think about things, as well as the gaps between attitudes and behavior.

Next, astronomer Karl Gebhardt explored "dark energy." He explained that 96% of the universe is made up of stuff we don't understand. Mostly, these unknown parts of the universe are comprised of dark energy, but some parts are also dark matter. "Dark" represents what we don't know: our ignorance about the nature of the universe. Karl described UT's efforts at the McDonald Observatory to understand dark energy. He illustrated how images from space form patterns, like fingerprints, that can be measured and analyzed.

Chemist John McDevitt followed with "Exploring Medicine and New Technology," illustrating nanotechnology applications in health care. He first showed "lab on the chip" devices to more effectively diagnose heart disease. These technologies are especially attractive in North America and Europe. In contrast, Dr. McDevitt described nanotechnologies that can be used to diagnosis HIV/AIDS in southern Africa. He summarized the dire situation facing the people in southern Africa, calling it a "tsunami a week," as well as the challenges for diagnosis. The technologies developed in Dr. McDevitt's UT lab have been adopted by entrepreneur Rick Hawkins. His Austin-based LabNow company will be applying this HIV/AIDS nanotechnology device in southern African soon.

That evening, we had dinner at the home of Janna Hayden and Mitch Jacobson where Betty Sue Flowers, the director of the LBJ Library, was our featured speaker. The home was designed by Hugh Randolph, a participant in the mini-symposium. Betty Sue Flowers was to explore governance, so she brought along a "guest expert," former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley.

Dr. Flowers defined the term "to govern" as it has evolved from its French, Latin, and Greek origins, meaning, "to steer a ship." Governing does not involve building the ship, but rather adjusting it to water and wind. Her presidential timeline project illustrates shifting patterns in American governance. The web-based project features links to all the presidential libraries. The website includes a timeline, historical themes, a gallery, and information for educators. Dr. Flowers used the Gulf of Tonkin incident as an example of the vast information available such as telephone recordings and diary entries. In addition to learning about the attacks on American naval vessels on intelligence-gathering patrols in the Gulf of Tonkin off the coast of North Vietnam on a single day in August 1964, President Johnson was informed by the FBI about the discovery of the bodies of the three slain civil rights workers in Philadelphia, Mississippi. A recording of President Johnson reveals how he sensitively directed the FBI to inform family members before making the news public. Betty Sue Flowers played a tape of Mrs. Johnson calling the president asking when to expect him for dinner. He replied around 8 p.m. (although he wouldn't make it until midnight). Mrs. Johnson invited the president to bring any "spare bachelors" with him to dinner.

Betty Sue Flowers also discussed "the myths that have made us." She described hero, religious, democratic-scientific, and economic myths and how they influence ideals, behaviors, actions, and communications of individuals and nation-states.

The next morning back at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, director Susan Rieff described Mrs. Johnson's many pioneering contributions to the environmental movement during the 1960s. She quoted Mrs. Johnson's observations about the term "beautification," which became so closely associated with her: "Though the word beautification makes the concept sound merely cosmetic, it involves much more: clean water, clean air, clean roadsides, safe waste disposal, and preservation of valued old landmarks as well as great parks and wilderness areas. To me..., beautification means our total concern for the physical and human quality we pass on to our children and the future."

Susan discussed how the 297-acre Wildflower Center site can help advance knowledge in areas such as restoration ecology and sustainable design, especially through the new association with UT-Austin (see: http://www.utexas.edu/opa/ news/2006/09/wildflower06.html). She also described the site LEED standards that the Center is developing with the American Society of Landscape Architects, the National Botanic Center, and the U.S. Green Building Council.

Robin Rather followed Susan's Saturday morning talk by "Exploring Activism." She discussed the nature of activism and got the participants to describe our own activism. She summarized her work with Peter Calthorpe and John Fregonese for the Louisiana Recovery Authority. Robin interviewed 2,500 hurricane victims, elected officials, and agency personnel as part of the 25-year planning project asking each interviewee 60 questions. Her conclusion is that people want to do more than rebuild, "they want to reinvent Louisiana." Robin has visited New Orleans 25 times in the past year and advised us, if we want to help, "take your sweetie to New Orleans for a weekend."

After a tour of the center facilities, I summarized common threads from the symposium over lunch in the library. The speakers addressed scale, interdisciplinary approaches, measurement, adaptability, connectivity, and Mrs. Johnson in their talks about exploration. John Nyfeler [B.Arch. '58] observed the speakers had said: "Here's what we know, but here's what we don't know."
