PRESENTATION REVIEW GUIDELINES
The College of Environmental Design is honored to welcome such a diverse and accomplished group of Distinguished Visiting Fellows to the 2017 Berkeley Circus. A wide variety of disciplines are represented at this year’s celebration, which creates many exciting opportunities for students to share their work and learn.
VISITING FELLOW RESPONSIBILITIES During reviews, Visiting Fellows are expected to engage student presenters with questions that promote further insight into the issues being investigated. Visiting Fellows will select one group/student from their review group to receive recognition awards. It is important that Fellows participate in full through the end of all presentations. CED Faculty have been assigned to each group to assist with timekeeping, and to moderate discussions.
PRESENTATION GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS Presentations at the Berkeley Circus provide students with an opportunity to introduce their current work to a knowledgeable and interested audience in a casual, non-classroom setting. In the limited time allotted for presentations, the primary focus should be to communicate one or two of the most important features of the project to the Visiting Fellows and to invite their feedback. Only a brief project overview to preface the primary topics of discussion will be necessary.
RECOGNITION AWARDS DELIBERATION At the end of each hour period of presentations (at 3:00 p.m. and 4:45 p.m.), Visiting Fellow groups will participate in a half-hour long Open Deliberation & Discussion session with students, during which the groups will have a chance to further discuss certain projects presented. During the Final Deliberations period, Visiting Fellows will identify one student/group to be acknowledged at the Student Recognition Ceremony. Please keep in mind that review groups may contain students representing a variety of educational levels, from undergraduates to doctoral candidates. Students should be selected for recognition among their peers of the same level. 4

FACULTY SPEAKERS
DANIKA COOPER Associate Professor, Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning
Danika Cooper is a landscape designer, urbanist, and researcher. Her work focuses on giving expression to underrepresented materials and methods in the practice, theory, and representation of landscape architecture. Her current research explores the relationship between water management and weather patterns in the world's deserts. At U.C. Berkeley, her work strives to highlight and strengthen connections between practice, research, and teaching. Previously she was the 2015-2016 Designer-in-Residence teaching fellow at the University of Illinois, Department of Landscape Architecture. She holds Master in Landscape Architecture and Master of Design Studies degrees from Harvard University Graduate School of Design, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture from Washington University in St. Louis. Last fall, Cooper taught “Contemporary Approaches to Visualization in Landscape Architecture,” which explored landscape representation through a number of drawing types and conventions, across a range of scales and through interplay between analog and digital media. The course examined topics central to the San Francisco Bay Area, introducing students to new tools and techniques for surveying the region and its ecological, infrastructural and social systems to ultimately imagine future landscape strategies for it.
“Dry Matters” Ecologists and climatologists largely agree that the global climate is trending towards both extreme wet and extreme dry conditions. Contemporary landscape discourse has primarily emphasized interventions that respond to a wetter future. Scenarios of a drier future have been underrepresented as surveys of landscape architecture have conspicuously left out or underplayed the significance of dry landscapes and their associated projects. Given that more than a third of the planet is already classified as either arid or semi-arid, the need for landscape architecture strategies in such regions is essential. In this talk, Professor Cooper will present her most recent work and propose innovation in dryland design and representation.
MALO HUTSON Chancellor's Associate Professor, City & Regional Planning Malo Hutson’s research focuses on community development and urban sustainability and equity; racial and ethnic inequalities and urban policy such as metropolitan fragmentation, segregation and health; and the built environment and health. He is the Associate Director of the Institute of Urban and Regional Planning (IURD) and Chair of the Urban Studies Program. Huston has over 15 years of experience working on numerous academic and community-centered projects, both nationally and internationally. He was also invited as a guest to The White House as an expert in community development, environmental justice, and urban health to participate in the first-ever Environmental Justice Forum. He currently is a faculty affiliate of the Robert Wood Johnson Health and Society Scholars Program at the University of California, San Francisco and U.C. Berkeley. In addition, he is a faculty member of the Diversity and Health Disparities Cluster, part of the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at U.C. Berkeley. 7
"Community Development Efforts to Mitigate the Impacts of Neighborhood Change and Displacement: Lessons from the Field"
This talk will examine responses to neighborhood change (gentrification) and displacement pressures for less affluent residents residing in high-cost cities. Specifically, the talk will discuss community development strategies and efforts to increase affordable housing options, further represent the voice of low-income residents in local decisions and balance competing needs. Professor Hutson will highlight lessons learned from his recently completed book titled, The Urban Struggle for Economic, Environmental, and Social Justice: Deepening Their Roots (Routledge, 2016) which explores how coalitions of residents, community leaders, unions, and others are trying to resist displacement as a result of neighborhood change. His research covers Boston, New York City, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
SUSAN UBBELOHDE Professor, Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs, Architecture
Susan Ubbelohde teaches sustainable design studios and seminars in high performance facades and design theory. She is also a founding partner of Loisos + Ubbelohde, an architecture and consulting firm specializing in sustainable design and high performance buildings. Her projects have won 29 AIA awards, three AIA/COTE Top Ten Green Projects, and three LEED platinum certifications. Ubbelohde has directed research for the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, the University of California Energy Institute, and the California Institute for Energy Efficiency on daylighting design, daylighting software, climate responsive design and monitored building performance. Recent publications of her work are featured in Design Informed: Driving Innovation with Evidence-Based Design and “Transparency: Literal and Sustainable” in Architectural Record.
“Autonomy” In our era of global warming, it is imperative to design buildings that use their own architecture rather than machines and fossil fuels to provide comfort and delight to those inside. Professor Ubbelohde's practice has developed sophisticated simulation and visualization techniques to assist architects in designing these low-energy residential, institutional and commercial buildings. She will present a range of projects that pursue both thermal and luminous autonomy, coupled with forensic projects that have informed the methods of analysis. 8

BERKELEY CIRCUS EXHIBITS - WURSTER COURTYARD
"FOAM PARTI" - ROOM ONE THOUSAND JOURNAL COOPER ROGERS AND CORA LAUTZE, ARCHITECTURE
"String up some nets and fire up the soap foam machine – a landscape intervention, a mountain made of membranes, a ruin collapsing, a gajillion inflatables, a party, a pavilion." Soap foam will cover a lightweight netting producing a void on the interior and a structure seemingly made of only bubbles. We scoop up the foam, tunnel through it, discover a void in the center to be in. Slowly we trample the structure and it evaporates as well - leaving nothing but a squeaky clean site.
"SUPERSURFACE" - STUDIO ONE BARRACK DARWEESH, TAEWOOK KANG, HEEWON LEE & XIANGYU AN, ARCHITECTURE
Supersurface had been researched and explored to conduct experiment of a new topology. The two layers top and bottom are interpenetrated through 66 holes and combined together as the Supersurface. Hexagons with different sizes and densities, depending on the curvature of the surface, interlock to achieve a structural role in the geometry itself and to support the form. 21
