The typical dog trainer has many issues to deal with, which include the following list. Teaching several dogs at the same
time in the same place is a problem. So the solution would be to have one-on-one consultations. There needs to be adequate space
to accommodate entire families for those pet owners who want all family members to be present. It is important for those people
who deliver the commands to the dog to be trained in this area. Also, if two dogs from the same family have different problems,
which can be an issue, then two separate consultations should be scheduled. Thus, a sufficient amount of individual rooms is
important. (www.universitydog.com) It is important for the trainer to teach both the owner and dog to work together, so again,
sufficient space is important. Group classes are not helpful with problems such as aggression, jumping up, whining, bolting,
inappropriate marking, excessive barking, shyness, digging, chewing, biting, and running away. This statement is yet another reason to
emphasize the criticality of separate training rooms. (www.doganswers.com) It is also important to keep in mind that puppies have
short attention spans and need to rest frequently, so trainers would need to be able to work with them for short periods of time.
Breaks could be taken with puppy clients and other clients would be seen in the interim time. A staff of receptionists who either
have an education in the training area or who can take messages for these people would be necessary. And finally, as a side note,
pet owners should know that a dog at ANY age could be trained, even those older dogs over the age of five.
The dog trainer or animal behaviorist should ask each client the following questions (as
determined by animal behaviorist Colleen Paige):
A) How much time does the owner have to spend with the dog?
B) What are the specific exercise requirements for the breed?
C) What personality type does the dog have?
D) What is the health/family/mental health history?
E) Is the dog shy and withdrawn or dominant and aggressive?
(www.universitydog.com)
The most important tool in this profession is love. Dogs should be trained with love and praise. Tools that are not as
effective and/or morally wrong include: treats, physical punishment, instilling fear or intimidation in the animal, and using specific
collars or discipline devices. Colleen Paige (dog behaviorist and trainer) claims that choke collars should not be required, though
they are not inhumane. They are just plainly, unnecessary. Clicker training, another method, is also not as effective as hand
signals and positive reinforcement. It can be such a tool in that food is used as a bribery tool like treats for good obedience. It is
an inappropriate choice because dogs tend to ignore their owners when there is no treat involved or if they are not hungry. Clicker
training can also involve using alternative remarks to the word "No," usually non-English remarks, which just don't make sense. The
dog should understand the same language the owner understands. The word "No" is an effective tool.
The school's program is strictly for obedience training. K9 police dog training and show lessons would not be part of the
plan, due to the limited space on the site.

Program Collage
My design for this space involves two spaces. One of the spaces is circular and is designed to guide the dog through his obedience
training. The other space is central and a play area, as well, with varying heights and widths. It is designed to allow the dog to
choose where he wants to go. Clients would park in the existing parking structure that is attached to the site.
Design is based on the irregular twisting movement that simultaneously occurs when a dog rolls over.

Detroit Automotive Archival LibraryWinter 2004 Final ProjectThe University of Michigan
Professor Melissa Harris
Detroit, Mi
Photomontages The Site
Detroit Public Library is across Library
Street from the site.
The original Detroit Public Library was built in 1877 in Detroit's Old Centre Park. In 1931 the new building was completed and the
old demolished. The Library has a decorative copper roof and cornice and fits its triangular site. The entry of the building is on a
mezzanine level, raised above the rest of the ground floor plan and the windows are steel framed in an industrial blue color. The
new public library is much smaller than the original library and the automotive archival area is inadequate. Translating the
integrity of the existing library to the design proposal for the Automotive Archival library is important.

Wallenberg 2005 Studio Competition: Material Resistance The University of Michigan
Adrian Blackwell
Intermodal Byproducts
Detroit, Michigan
"Detroit is planning to strategically intensify its
position as an intermodal transportation hub. This
transfer point between trucks and trains is required to
accommodate the rapidly increasing trade between
Canada and the United States. In 2001, 23 percent or
$80 billion of the total surface trade between the
two countries ($347 billion) crossed the border
between Detroit and Windsor, making it the busiest
single border crossing in the world. However despite
all this economic activity within its boundaries, the
City of Detroit has so far found it difficult to derive
substantial economic benefit from this phenomenon.
This studio asks how can the rapid mobility of goods in
the capitalist world system, which left Detroit
stranded without employment by the end of the 1960`s,
be used today to benefit the local space of the city?
The project to make a larger intermodal terminal in
Detroit has a number of possible desired effects. At a
continental scale, it will increase the efficiency of
transportation within the United States and Canada,
allowing more products to move easily over long
distances by train, saving fuel, minimizing pollution and
helping to relieve congestion on the highway system.
At the local level, it will provide jobs and capital to
stimulate growth, while facilitating the renovation of
a section of the city surrounding the terminal.
However the project also may have significant
secondary effects which seem less desirable. It will
intensify active breaks in the city fabric and displace
existing housing and industry. Detroit is already
fractured by a set of lines that cross its fabric,
separating neighborhoods and conveniences from one
another. Socially, Detroit is the most divided city in
the United States, and as a result it also suffers
from more violence than its Metropolitan counterparts.
These social separations are dynamically related to
physical separations within its fabric. Industries and
railways that once served as magnets of employment
are now empty and underused wastelands, fragmenting
the city into disconnected spaces. The intermodal
terminal has the potential to be yet another
mega-project of urban renewal, jumping scales to
provide benefits and effects at the regional scale,
without significantly improving the local economy."

Site Plan Current Conditions: Figure v. Ground Plan Current Conditions: Vacancies When experiencing this detroit site,
which is enclosed by the railroad
crossing and the busy road
livernois, it is clear that this
mostly residential site is mostly
vacant. An industrial site exists
in the narrowest part of the site
and a railroad intermodal property
(or junkyard) is located on the
otherside of Livernois. What is
lacking in this site is Community.
To create community in such an
unusual residential space, though
typical for Detroit, there is a need
for multiple-unit housing buildings,
shared spaces for recreation, a
solution to combat environmental
issues occuring due to homeowners
living next to an industrial site,
and an organization to the site
that allows for all of these ideas
to interact and promote better
health for the inhabitants. The
addition of poplar trees will
densify the site to create
beautiful outdoor spaces that will
clean the industrial toxins in the
soil. The trees will also act as a
buffer to diffuse the noise
emmitted from the in-use railroad
tracks.

Ground Floor Plan First Floor Plan
Second Floor Plan
Elevated multi-unit Housing will allow for residents to be aware of their outdoor surroundings and parking
under the buildings so that space is used efficiently. There is a laundry room and communal space (for
game playing, gathering, party holding, etc.) to allow residents to spend recreational time together and
gain the sense of community. Having a central gathering space for the building on the first floor creates
an awareness of the public outside. Safety is an important element of community. The poplar trees run
through the entire site, complemented by the organic tree-like columns surfacing through the buildings.
The buildings are covered entirely in green roofs, which provide for personal balconies for each unit and a
shared recreation space on the backside of the buildings.
