DEAN'S MESSAGE

I want to thank all of you who helped make Glow Big Red a huge success for the College of Architecture. It is the university’s premier annual fundraising event. I’m happy to say the category that received the most donations was student scholarships. Plus, we challenged the college employees with a healthy internal competition. Bragging rights go to the College of Architecture Staff and to the Interior Design Program (a tie) for the highest percentage of giving. These funds enable us to give out over $299,000 annually in scholarships to our students. Last year the college awarded 147 scholarships to our students making higher education more equitable and attainable. 

If you are a student, please do consider applying for these scholarships. If you are a faculty or staff member, thank you for building this Glow Big Red momentum and supporting our students!

Best,

Kevin G. Van Den Wymelenberg

ARCHITECTURE

In the Master of Architecture Program, graduate students can pursue a year-long independent thesis project or continue with graduate option studios. If a student elects the thesis option, their ideas and ruminations are developed with a faculty mentor. The Thesis Prep. Seminar is a required 2-credit course for any student pursuing an independent thesis project.

What does a thesis investigation in architecture look like? You can find out by attending Thesis Review #4 on Tuesday, February 21, in the New Crit Space and Corbu Lounge, when eleven graduate architecture students will present their current projections, critiques and attitudes about the future of their work and the discipline. Following review #4, thesis students will publicly present their projects at review #5 on Tuesday, March 28, and at the final review with outside critics on Thursday, May 11. Mark your calendars!

Have a great week! -David Karle

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

I want to start this week’s newsletter by encouraging all of you to submit for the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) national student awards, due late May. The work from LARC310 studio, for example, has constantly been very impressive. In that instance, the combination of a clear vision and narrative, great graphics and compelling design outcomes make them very award-worthy. I only mentioned LARC310 because I teach it and know the work very well, but I know there are more outstanding projects out there. In addition, there are categories for research and analysis and communications, so it could be your UCARE project, for example, as well. Go for it and make us all proud! More-
