History and Mission 5 PART ONE (I): INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT AND IMPROVEMENT I.1. IDENTITY & SELF ASSESSMENT I.1.1. HISTORY AND MISSION When natural gas was first struck in September 1886 fifteen miles north of Muncie, it brought an economic boom to the Muncie region. Soon after the discovery of the natural gas reserves, the Ball brothers of Buffalo, New York, chose Muncie to establish a glass jar manufacturing plant. With economic prosperity came the need for the establishment of many institutions to support community development. A few prominent citizens of Muncie formed what could now be called a nonprofit organization with the purpose of funding a university. They named it the Eastern Indiana Normal University. In 1899, the first building was built. From that time, until 1918, the university went through periods of operation and closures, name changes and affiliation changes. Eastern Indiana Normal University started with 15 faculty members and 250 students. However, due to dwindling enrollment and difficult financial conditions, the university closed in 1901. For a brief period of two years the institution was called Palmer University, then it closed again in 1904. The university was renamed in 1905 as Indiana Normal School and College of Applied Science. The turning point for the university came in 1918, on the fifth attempt to revive the university. The Ball brothers purchased and deeded 64.6 acres of land and property to the state of Indiana, a gift duly accepted by the Board of Trustees. The board approved that a “Muncie Auxiliary” (later named Eastern Division of Indiana State Normal School) be opened on behalf of the Indiana State Normal School of Terre Haute. By 1922, the school was

    College of Architecture and Planning Annual Report Academic Year 2008 – 2009

    COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING ANNUAL REPORT ACADEMIC YEAR 2008 – 2009 The word is out…. It is a true pleasure to submit this annual report. We have many success stories to report, and we certainly had a lot of fun working on those, but we also had substantial challenges; we all did. In our February issue of e-cap we acknowledged that “every challenge is an opportunity” and that creative minds are particularly well equipped to take advantage of such opportunities. Today we want to celebrate the fact that in spite of financial uncertainty we have been able to continue to move forward in an aggressive quest to take our college to the next level. A fundamental move in that quest has been to build a “dream team” for the college’s departmental leadership. Last fall we welcomed Prof. Mahesh Senagala as our new Chair in the Department of Architecture, this summer we have been blessed with the arrival of Prof. Michael Burayidi as our new Chair in the Department of Urban Planning, and before it gets too cold in January we will be joined by Professor Jody Naderi as our new Chair in the Department of Landscape Architecture. I don’t know of any other college of architecture and planning in the nation with a stronger leadership team. We have adopted the structure of our University’s Strategic Plan and in such a way promote integration and synergy through all our units. We invite you to review this report and share in our excitement and enthusiasm. This is a great time to be at CAP.

    Honorary Membership Nomination Narrative Nominee: Carol Ross Barney, FAIA Nominee’s Address: Ross Barney Architects, 10 West Hubbard Street City / State / Zip: Chicago, Illinois 60654 Phone: 312‐897‐0600 Nominator: Terry Warriner Ryan, FASLA Carol Ross Barney, FAIA, has been in the vanguard of civic space design since founding Ross Barney Architects in 1981. With a career that spans over 40 years, Carol has made significant contributions to the built environment, the profession, and architectural education. As an architect, urbanist, mentor, and educator, she has relentlessly advocated that excellent design is a right, not a privilege. Her body of work represents this ethos and occupies a unique place within the panorama of contemporary architecture, being exclusively composed of work in the public realm. Attending the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, Carol received a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1971. A week after graduation, Carol and her husband, Alan Barney, a botanist, embarked on their assignment with the United States Peace Corps. Working with the fledgling Costa Rican National Park Service, their mission was to assist in the protection and preservation of Costa Rica’s amazingly diverse and threatened ecology. Carol’s projects included a master plan for coral reef protection at Parque Nacional Cahuita, restoration of the historic hacienda at Parque Nacional Santa Rosa, and worker housing at Parque Nacional Volcan Poas. Following her service in the Peace Corps, Carol joined a few notable Chicago firms before venturing out on her own. Here is where Carol was able to uphold a deep commitment to the role the built environment plays in life quality.

    The 2005 World Sustainable Building Conference, 10-037 Tokyo, 27-29 September 2005 (SB05Tokyo) OPEN BUILDING AND SUSTAINABILITY IN PRACTICE Frans van der Werf Msc, Arch BNA.1 1 Frans van der Werf, Organic Architecture and Urban Design, Tolweg 12, 2042 EL Zandvoort, the Netherlands, [email protected] Keywords: Open Building, Pattern Language, sustainable technology, user participation Summary The concept of Open Building relates decision making to constructing and maintaining the built environment. It provides the framework for incorporating conditions for user participation, environmental sustainability, public as well as personal health and wellbeing. This paper give a personal account of four key projects designed in my practice of architectural and urban design. First the underlying objectives of the designs are explained: sustainable quality of the built in relation to the natural environment, human wellbeing and user participation. Secondly, the methods applied, are discussed. Open Building provides the framework for decision-making. The Pattern Language is used to communicate design decisions with the users and user groups. The latest insights in ecological building are applied, experimented with and evaluated. Next, these experiences are illustrated by four built projects, the most recent one currently being under construction. In the final analysis it is concluded that the shortest route to a sustainable built environment can be found by connecting a well-structured process of decision making to user participation and sustainable technology. 1. Introduction The sustainability of the built environment has many facets. First of all, the urban fabric needs to be designed in such a way that it can sustain for a very long time.
