C. Course and Curriculum Development

COURSE DEVELOPMENT ARCH 6350 Design Research Studio [4cr] – In Collaboration with Anna Dyson Fall term annually (required MS / PhD Architectural Sciences)

Design Research Studio is an exploration into methods of research and design applied to investigations into a range of building integrated systems and technologies. Research design areas focus on next generation sustainable building systems designed to conserve energy use and leverage natural force streams to enhance building performances using low and high tech principles and technology transfer as appropriate.

ARCH 4962 Research Investigations [2cr] – In Collaboration with Anna Dyson

Spring term annually (B.Arch and M.Arch 1 students participating in CASE)

This course links professional program students with PhD researchers on specific projects. Professional students are assigned areas of investigation and work with PhD and faculty in the development of research deliverables and/or publications.

ARCH 4690 Case Studies: Investigations in Architectural Knowledge [4 cr]

Fall term annually (required: B. ARCH)

15

The Case Studies Initiative was developed as a means of bridging History/Theory/Design and Technology at the senior level through investigations, deconstruction and the reverse engineering of contemporary architectural projects in their professional, intellectual and cultural context(s). It is designed to increase critical awareness of best practices, their motivations and influences, and to develop students’ ability to distinguish between aspects of works which are influenced by zeitgeist, style, or formal preoccupation, and which are innovative and advancing architectural knowledge. The course is team based and writing intensive with the expectation that the case study product be publication ready for addition to the Rensselaer Case Study Project: a series of late 20th and early 21st century architecture case study publications (see ‘other initiatives’ for additional detail).

ARCH 4300 Design Development Studio [6 cr] fall and spring terms annually

(required: B.ARCH and M.ARCH 1)

Developed as the “Comprehensive Architecture Studio”, (National Architectural Accreditation Board [NAAB]), Design Development is a senior level studio course dedicated to the integration of life-safety codes, structure, environmental design, building systems, materials, construction and other building technologies with (and not subsequent to) the architectural design of a building.

Its emphasis is on total design and is structured to help students understand the bi-directional relationships between design intent, system design and integration, and material resolution at a variety of mutually interdependent scales.

Design Development is a co-requisite with ARCH 4540 Professional Practice, designed to integrate the classroom learning of life-safety codes with their application in the development of a project design. The studio integrates digital 3D modeling techniques as key generative design tools and has anticipated industry migration to Building Information Modeling [BIM].

The studio integrates travel to a select set of diverse (S, M, L, experimental, design, and production) practices for seminars that expose students to a variety of professional motivations and approaches. It also takes students onto active building construction sites for exposure to building components and their integration in the field, and to meet with and better understand the various motivations of construction managers, clients and design team personnel.

Each Spring the Design Development Studio integrates Capstone Engineering (structural) students to form the Bedford Studio, one of several initiatives that together were awarded the 2006 NCARB Prize: for Creative Integration of Practice and Education in the Academy.

BEDFORD INITIATIVES

The Bedford Initiatives, designed to enhance the relationship between architecture and engineering education and practice, and to understand the benefit of an informed, multidisciplinary approach are threefold:

1) To create an interdisciplinary (A/E) studio at the senior level [BEDFORD STUDIO], 2) To create interdisciplinary (A/E) seminar electives [BEDFORD SEMINARS], and 3) To create intensive ‘out-of-classroom’ workshops that engage architecture and

engineering students with international best practices [BEDFORD TRAVEL WORKSHOP].

BEDFORD VISITING PROFESSORSHIP To realize the objectives in the Rensselaer academic setting, funding was used to develop a visiting professorship that engages a building engineer from a leading engineering practice in the education of architects and engineers at Rensselaer.

1) CIVL 6340 BEDFORD DESIGN STUDIO [4cr - engineering cohort] Meets with ARCH 4300; DD Studio [6 cr] - collaborative studio / building design experience

16

The Bedford Studio joins senior architecture and senior engineering CE Capstone students in an interdisciplinary design studio setting (the DD Studio) to develop a building design. The premise, that engineers and architects need to better understand each others motivations, and that early integration can lead to more integrated and elegant solutions, led to the development of the multidisciplinary studio co-taught by a CEE faculty member or the Bedford Visiting Professor and Architecture faculty members teaching the Design Development Studio.

2) CIVL4020 BEDFORD SEMINAR [2-3 cr] Developed as integrative courses, the Bedford Seminars are offered by the Bedford Visiting Professor (a practicing building engineer) to a balanced mix of architecture and structural engineering students. The seminars explore advanced structural systems: tensile, shell, grid shell, fabric, arch, catenary, etc, with respect to the intimate relationship between structural performance, form, and form-finding techniques. In addition to providing exposure to exemplary projects and the underlying pursuits and accomplishments that rely on a vital relationship between architect and engineer the seminar includes an interdisciplinary design project.

3) BEDFORD TRAVEL WORKSHOPS [not for credit] Travel workshops integrate architecture and engineering students in an intensive out-of-classroom experience that exposes the students (and faculty) to leading building engineering and architectural practices and their projects. Additional support from the Bedford family supports this student and faculty travel workshop initiative.The selection of 6 engineering and 6 architectural students is based on student application to the workshop including an essay and past performance in related courses. Participants complete a reading list before traveling, and are assigned to interdisciplinary A/E teams that are given a sketch project to complete during the intensive 8-10 day workshop. 2015 – Paris: Will Laufs, Principal Will Laufs Engineering Design

1998 PILOT WORKSHOP: Jane Wernick, S.E., and Merill Elam, R.A.

Piloted as an intensive, week-long, in-house design workshop, 6 architecture and 6 engineering students, worked in teams with internationally recognized architect (Merrill Elam) and engineer (Jane Wernick), and faculty members Mark Mistur (architecture) and Michael O’Rourke (civil engineering) to develop designs for deployable event structures.

ARCH 4962, 4963, 4968 Building Design / Construction Process [2 cr] (Exploiting the Design and Construction of Biotech and EMPAC)

The Building Design / Construction Process course was opportunistically developed around major campus building projects to expose students from Civil Engineering and Architecture to the lead design professionals, intricacies, and complexity of the architectural design and construction process. By engaging Burt Hill Kosar Rittelmann, a leading architecture / engineering practice (together with Bohlin Cywinski Jackson) for Rensselaer’s Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Research (CBIR), CEO Richard Rittelmann taught the first series of courses during the semesters corresponding to the building’s construction period. Subsequently, Grimshaw & Partner’s William Horgan, project designer for the Experimental Media Performing Arts Center (EMPAC), was engaged to teach courses tracking the design and construction of EMPAC.

The courses engage a mix of engineering and architecture students in real-time tracking of the building construction process. Attention to the relationship between design intentions, design consultants, construction managers, constructors and the client focus attention of the management of complex decision processes happening throughout the construction phase of an architectural project. In each case the course involved a mix of classroom, construction office, and construction site experience.

ARCH 4980, 4990, 6990 Final Project / Thesis Guidelines [12 cr]

Upon approval of the faculty to transform the BArch Final Project and MArch 1 Thesis, into a two-semester, 12 credit sequence, I lead in its redevelopment, including the development of the associated final project / thesis guidelines on behalf of the faculty. The implemented format includes four components over two semesters as follows:

1) Methods Seminar [5 weeks; 1 cr] - semester 1

to assist in the development of a viable thesis / project abstract. 2) Competition Studio [2 cr] (see below) - semester 1

to assist in the development of independence, to expose students to competition strategies and processes and to inspire confidence to conceptualize and execute in a limited timeframe.

3) Thesis / Final Project abstract submission, approval and development [3 cr] - semester 1

4) Thesis / Final Project Development [6 cr] - semester 2 Competition Studio [2 cr] A short studio designed to assist in the development of both independence and confidence. The studio commissions a leading architect / architectural practice familiar with the competition process to select a contemporaneous competition, teach about competition strategies and critique the development of student competition entries. The competition selected is specified to be a professional (not student) competition into which students are required to submit following an intense 5 week development of their entry scheme. An in-house, anonymous, public jury allows students the unique opportunity of witnessing the typically closed-door judging of their entries prior to making an official submission to the organizing agency.

ARCH 4250, 4260, 4270 [6 cr] Architectural Design 5,6,7

FORA NUOVA - Vertical Studio, Rome, Fall 2002 Investigating the potential for urban architecture to activate program and place in a manner that is inherently public, both within and without. The urban edge condition of Testaccio, an historically ‘fringe-zone’ for radical culture had been proposed for relocation of large segments of Roma 3 (on of Rome’s universities), promising an infusion of student life and activities at the seam between the old city, the river, and the proposed ‘city of science’ to the west. Design investigations challenged students to engage Mont Testaccio, the historic industrial buildings, and the public sphere of piazza, street, and riverfront with student programs and activities through various interior and exterior auditoria and performance spaces including a student center and cafeteria space. The studio also participated together with a graduate architecture studio from Roma 3 on a competition to explore the reconfiguration of a 1970’s social housing project on the urban periphery.

ARCH 10425,10426,10427 [6 cr] Architectural Design 5,6,7

ARA PACIS - Vertical Studio, Rome, Fall 1997 Beginning with a sketch project calling for a realization of ‘the ephemeral’ in contraposition to the embedded palimpsest of history belonging to the fabric of this ‘eternal city’, the studio sought to engage students with the historic urban fabric in manner neither beholden to, nor dismissive of it; to consider how ‘the contemporary’ might engage ‘the historic’. Using the competition brief for the ‘Ara Pacis’ (a competition then recently won by Richard Meier) as a departure point, the major project of the semester, set within the curvilinear zone of the Tiber River; open to light and lined with trees, traffic, and floodwalls that slice through the intricate fabric of the city, was to rehouse the ancient monument to the favored emperor Augustus. In doing so, students engaged (among other things) the design of a contemporary enclosure, within a 16th and 17th century context, for one of the most ancient and important of Roman artifacts.

ARCH 10226, 10227, 10421, 10422 Architectural Design IIIB, IVA, IVB, VA LEARNING PLACE - Vertical Studio, Spring 1995 Examining the influence of pedagogy and place on architecture and visa-versa, the studio examined how particular approaches to education may use architecture as an active agent in learning. To understand the influence of place, identical programs were proposed for: 1) a compact urban site in Manhattan and, 2) a dramatic ledge / landscape site adjacent to the Palisades. Students from different sites were paired as discussion / critique partners to consider these influences and the potential for architecture to engage both possibility and situation.

ARCH 2200 Architectural Design 2 (Coordinator) - Fall 2002

Re-Building Edge City: Architectural Intervention as Catalysis Engaging students in an analysis and design of an extensive fringe condition on Manhattan’s East River, the urban design studio was designed to provoke an understanding of the interactions between architectural and urban scales, operations, and experiences. To do so, a series of public university programs which cannot be understood in isolation from the urban forces acting upon them, and which simultaneously have the potential to influence its future development, were given. In the context of an existent long range plan to locate several million square feet of the City University of New York (CUNY) system to the East River and Governor Island sites, students developed infrastructural proposals and selected one of four local sites on which to develop a campus hub with several public functions including a student center providing for study, classroom, and recreational programs, and multimodal transportation linkages between bus transportation and a water taxi connecting the proposed riverside facility to the proposed Governor Island campus.

ARCH 10494 Experimental Housing [4 cr] - Spring 1998

Initiated by students, this design/build studio took a derelict three storey masonry building, gutted and stabilized the structure while developing a design for the insertion of alternative student housing that would engender an open spirit of participation between students through shared open space and the development of the building section. Students interacted with City agencies, applied for permits, engaged a consulting engineer to remediate structural and drainage concerns and were prepared to construct the accepted design solution when for external reasons funding was withdrawn.

ARCH - 4971 Advanced Topics in Rome [6 cr]

Developed to exploit the opportunities of an international studies program, the course consisted of 1) a series of on site seminars offered by archeologists, scholars of Etruscan and Roman civilizations, and historians specializing in the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and Modern eras, to teach the urban and architectural history of Rome, 2) a series of exercises pertaining to contemporary Roman exhibits (The Ephemeral, Italian Fascist Architecture, and Rembrandt) including a studio exercise on ephemeral event structures, and a comparison of the light of Rembrandt and Carravaggio (students were challenged to consider their lessons and relationship to the contemporary project of architecture, 3) sketchbook exercises which employed drawing as a way of seeing the old, the new, the architectural, and the urban and 4) three weeks of travel to various regions of Italy focused on historic and contemporary architecture, museums, exhibits, and practices including Industrial Design of auto designer Giuggarro and product designer Citterio. Examinations of various regions employed photography (‘though the lens’) and a series of thematic photographic competitions (e.g. ‘The Light of Venice’, ‘Framing’,..) to focus examination both on the place and the critical use of the tool (camera).

C. Current Research Interest To preface a description of my research interest, I must first position my interest in an architecture that moves away from a primarily formal / aesthetic project that is subjectively and stylistically driven; toward performance / situation based design process(es) and projects that are informed by (and reciprocally act upon) site, climate, culture, client, and program. I am interested in how architecture, 1) contributes to place and experience, 2) has positive consequence on those who must suffer or enjoy it, and 3) addresses phenomena and impacts the environment. While I am certainly not proposing that we dismiss formal resolution, or that which is ‘aesthetic‘, I am interested in realizing how ‘the formal’ and ‘aesthetic’ aspects of design can be regarded both as an outcome (of the situation, phenomena and/or operations acting on it), and as an input (based on intention, desire, or design approach).

26

Performance criteria should conspire together with subjective design intent to inform the overall act of design and its physical, spatial, and social result. We now enjoy a fertile period in the story of architecture, as North American culture grows in its appreciation for design, as work and living patterns are changing, as energy becomes a major issue, as environmental awareness and concerns are becoming mainstream, and as new tools make the modeling and simulation of phenomena and the performance of complex systems (buildings) achievable. The possibility for re-conceived approaches to design (and to buildings) is rapidly emerging. My research interests lay at the interface between a research practice and scholarship activity, as the forum and context for the development of knowledge driven by the desire to design places for people in the context of environmental factors (and experiences), and emerging (low and high) technologies. This enterprise will increasingly depend upon interdisciplinary research. It is the natural trajectory of the Brown and Bedford initiatives, as well as in the IGERT proposal for interdisciplinary education and research. My initiatives focus on the development of performance-based building systems that rely on an understanding of scientific first principles, employ engineering applications, and architectural integration. It will furthermore be carried out in the context of the Built Ecologies graduate education and research program which seeks to develop multiple interdisciplinary interactions around specific research projects. As in the Bedford and Brown initiatives, I will continue to build networks that cross the boundary between Architects, Scientists and Engineers, as well as the boundary between practice (the profession) and education (the academy). Current research interests include:

1) Interdisciplinarity a. As it relates to the interactions between architects, and engineers (mechanical,

environmental, structural) b. Finding and/or creating contexts for (those in) practice and (those in) the academy to

interface, and

c. I will continue to identify, consider and write about the changing context, and emerging new building and practice types that are significant to the next generation synthetic (designed) environments.

2) Building integrated systems

a. Systems that address energy and the environment. Instead of depending on large infrastructures and resultant energy loss to transport – examine ways to harvest and utilize local energies in buildings while decreasing their overall energy demand, improving comfort and health.

b. Phyto-filtration and phyto-remediation systems to detoxify air with the potential benefit of decreasing energy consuming air-change requirements.

c. Alternative low and high tech ways to address dehumidification and air conditioning in hot

humid climates.
