Woodbury University Interim Progress Report for Year Five Woodbury University Interim Progress Report for Year Five November 30, 2020 1 Contents 1. Instructions and Template Guidelines 2. Executive Summary of the Two Most Recent NAAB Visits: 2009 and 2015 3. Template a. Progress in Addressing Not-Met Conditions and Student Performance Criteria identified in the review of the Interim Progress Report for Year 2 (1) Please note that the responses contained herein include both the revised IPR #1 and the additional response for IPR #2. While revised IPR #1 was submitted in 2018, it was not accepted. We have included it here to demonstrate continuity in our efforts to meet and exceed the expectations of NAAB. After conferring with NAAB (Ellen Cathy) we chose to exceed the page limit in order to provide the committee with comprehensive responses. Thank you for your understanding. b. Progress in Addressing Causes of Concern c. Changes or Planned Changes in the Program d. Summary of Preparations for Adapting to 2020 NAAB Conditions e. Appendix (include revised curricula, syllabi, and one-page CVs or bios of new administrators and faculty members; syllabi should reference which NAAB SPC a course addresses; samples of required student work). 4. Requirements for the Use of Digital Content in Interim Progress Reports 2 1. INSTRUCTIONS AND TEMPLATE GUIDELINES Purpose Continuing accreditation is subject to the submission of interim progress reports at defined intervals of 2 years and 5 years after an eight-year term of continuing accreditation is approved. This narrative report, supported by documentation, covers four areas: 1. The program’s progress in addressing not-met Conditions and Student Performance Criteria (SPC) from the Interim Progress Report Year 2 review. 2. Progress in Addressing Causes for Concern. 3. Changes or Planned Changes in the Program. 4. Summary of Preparations for Adapting to 2020 NAAB Conditions. Supporting Documentation 1. The narrative should describe in detail all changes in the program made in response to not-met Conditions and Student Performance Criteria, including detailed descriptions of changes to the curriculum that have been made in response to not-met SPC that were identified in the review of the Interim Progress Report Year 2. Identify any specific outcomes expected to student performance. Attach new or revised annotated syllabi identifying changes for required courses that address unmet SPC. 2. Evidence of student work is only required to address deficiencies in the following cases: (1) If there are any SPCs that have not been met for two consecutive visits; (2) If there are three not-met SPCs in the same realm in the last visit. • Provide three examples of minimum-pass work for each deficiency and submit student work evidence to the NAAB in electronic format. (Refer to the “Guidelines for Submitting Digital Content in IPRs” for the required format and file organization.) • All student work evidence must be labeled and clearly annotated so that each example cross- references the specific SPC being evaluated and shows compliance with that SPC. 3. Provide information regarding changes in leadership or faculty membership. Identify the anticipated contribution to the program for new hires and include either a narrative biography or one-page CV. 4. Provide additional information that may be of interest to the NAAB team at the next accreditation visit. Outcomes IPRs are reviewed by a panel of three: one current NAAB director, one former NAAB director, and one experienced team chair.1 The panel may make one of three recommendations to the Board regarding the interim report: 1. Accept the interim report as having demonstrated satisfactory progress toward addressing deficiencies identified in the report of the Interim Progress Report Year 2. 2. Accept the interim report as having demonstrated progress toward addressing deficiencies but require the program to provide additional information (e.g., actions taken to address deficiencies). This report shall be due within six weeks of the receipt of this outcome report. 3. Reject the interim report as having not demonstrated sufficient progress toward addressing deficiencies and advance the next accreditation sequence by at least one calendar year, thereby shortening the term of accreditation. In such cases, the chief academic officer of the institution will be notified, and a copy of the decision sent to the program administrator. A schedule will be determined so that the program has at least six months to prepare an Architecture Program Report. The annual statistical report (see Section 9 of the 2014 Conditions) is still required. 1 The team chair will not have participated in a team during the year in which the original decision on a term of accreditation was made. 3 Deadline and Contacts IPRs are due on November 30. They shall be submitted through the NAAB’s Annual Report System (ARS). As described in Section 10 of the 2015 NAAB Procedures for Accreditation “…the program will be assessed a fine of $100.00 per calendar day until the IPR is submitted.” If the IPR is not received by January 15 the program will automatically receive Outcome 3 described above. Email questions to [email protected]. Instructions 1. Reports shall be succinct and are limited to 40 pages/20 MBs, including supporting documentation. 2. Type all responses in the designated text areas. 3. Reports must be submitted as a single PDF following the template format. Pages should be numbered. 4. Supporting documentation should be included in the body of the report. 5. Remove the #4 “Requirements for the Use of Digital Content in Interim Progress Reports” pages before submitting the interim progress report. 4 2.

Progress in Addressing Not-Met Student Performance Criteria A.4 Technical Documentation (B. Arch) 2015 Visiting Team Assessment: Evidence is primarily presented for B. Arch in Arch 464 – Systems Integration, and for M. Arch in Arch 547 – Building 4. All secondary course evidence was evaluated. B. Arch student evidence did not contain outline specifications indicating the ability to identify materials, assemblies, and components as they relate to design development and project estimating/management. M. Arch student evidence presented outline specifications as adequate examples of integrative responsibilities in building design. Woodbury University, 2017 Response: Studio briefs are being reconsidered to include projects that help students focus upon the identification of materials, assemblies, and components. Woodbury University, 2017 Response (Revised): UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM Undergraduate students are introduced to technical documentation in their second year of the 5-year BArch program in ARCH 250 Professional Practice 1 and demonstrate it in their fourth year in ARCH 464 Systems Integration and ARCH 487 Studio 4A (Integrative Design Studio). ARCH 250 is a required course in which students are required to produce a construction drawing set for a small (approx. 2500 sf) single-family residence or other single program building. Students are introduced to technical drawings and are given a beginning understanding of outline specifications as they relate to material assemblies, systems, components, and to the architect’s integrative responsibilities in building design. Students model the building using Revit (or another Building Information Modeling software system) and then develop a construction drawing set where they learn construction drawing conventions. These drawing sets include material assemblies, door and window schedules, and rudimentary specifications keyed into the drawings. ARCH 464 Systems Integration and ARCH 487 Studio 4A are co-requisite courses taught by a single cohort of faculty.

Concrete provided an important set of architectural opportunities and challenges for the design community, which fully explored the material’s structural and sculptural qualities. From 1960 to 1976, concrete was used by some of the world's most influential architects in the transformation of Boston including Marcel Breuer, Eduardo Catalano, Henry N. Cobb, Araldo Cossutta, Kallmann and McKinnell, Le Corbusier, I. M. Pei, Paul Rudolph, Josep Lluís Sert, and The Architects Collaborative—creating a vision for the city’s widespread revitalization under the banner of the “New Boston.” Heroic: Concrete Architecture and the New Boston presents the historical context and new critical profiles of the buildings that defined Boston during this remarkable period, showing the city as a laboratory for refined experiments in concrete and new strategies in urban planning. Heroic further adds to our understanding of the movement’s broader implications through essays by noted historians and interviews with several key practitioners of HEROIC: Concrete Architecture the time: Peter Chermayeff, Henry N. Cobb, Araldo Cossutta, Michael and the New Boston McKinnell, Tician Papachristou, Tad Stahl, and Mary Otis Stevens.

  • “Community” in the Work of Cedric Price
    TRANSFORMATIONS Journal of Media & Culture ISSN 1444-3775 2007 Issue No. 14 — Accidental Environments Calculated Uncertainty: Computers, Chance Encounters, and "Community" in the Work of Cedric Price By Rowan Wilken “All great work is preparing yourself for the accident to happen.” —— Sidney Lumet Iconoclastic British architect and theorist Cedric Price is noted for the comparatively early incorporation of computing and other communications technologies into his designs, which he employed as part of an ongoing critique of the conventions of architectural form, and as part of his explorations of questions of mobility. Three key unrealised projects of his are examined here which explore these concerns. These are his “Potteries Thinkbelt” (1964-67), “Generator” (1978-80), and “Fun Palace” (1961-74) projects, with greatest attention given to the last of them. In these projects, Price saw technology as a way of testing non-authoritarian ideas of use (multiplicity of use and undreamt of use), encouraging chance encounters and, it was hoped, chance “community.” These aims also situate Price’s work within an established context of twentieth-century experimental urban critique, a context that includes the investigations of the Dadaists, the Surrealists, Fluxus, and the Situationist International, among others. What distinguishes Price’s work from these other examples is his explicit engagement with communications technologies in tandem with systems, game and cybernetic theory. These influences, it will be argued, are interesting for the way that Price employed them in his development of a structurally complex and programmatically rich architectural environment which was, simultaneously and somewhat paradoxically, to be experienced as an “accidental environment.” Much of the existing critical work on Price gives greatest attention to exploring and documenting these theoretical influences and uses of computing and communications equipment, as well as the architectural and wider socio-cultural context in which his work was produced.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture RE‐MAPPING TERRITORIES OF ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE: CEDRIC PRICE AND THE PROCEDURES OF SOCIAL ACTION A Thesis in Architecture by Aleksandar Vujkov ©Aleksandar Vujkov Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Architecture December 2012 The thesis of Aleksandar Vujkov was reviewed and approved by the following: Peter J. Aeschbacher Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture and Architecture Thesis Adviser Denise R. Costanzo Assistant Professor of Architecture Graeme Sullivan Professor of Art Education Mehrdad Hadighi Professor of Architecture Head of the Department of Architecture *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii Abstract Historical and theoretical experience has made the challenges of socially affirmative work through architecture evident. A number of approaches have been proposed to overcome the control mechanisms inherent in the built environment which inhibit the free use of space. Recently, the concepts of program and agency have been exploited to promote the possibility of socially transformative action through architectural practice. These are best exemplified by the work of Cedric Price, who utilized notions of program as a changeable entity. Price envisioned an architectural product which, aided by computational knowledge and through communication networks, promoted social interaction and enhanced users’ capacity to act independently within the structure of society. Price’s idea of program is based on the model of a living organism that is capable of maintaining its integrity while growing and changing with time. The current scholarship on Price has placed his work in its professional, social, and cultural milieus, and established it as a precedent for contemporary diagrammatic and network‐ based practices.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Gordon
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Gordon Cullen and the “Cut-and-Paste” Urban Landscape A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture by Miriam Engler 2013 © Copyright by Miriam Engler 2013 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Gordon Cullen and the “Cut-and-Paste” Urban Landscape by Miriam Engler Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Los Angeles, 2013 Professor Sylvia Lavin, Chair The new rules of the emerging consumer economy radically reconfigured both the discourse and practice of architecture during the postwar era. Architecture became a commodity whose products were sold through mass media to mass audiences, via images that performed as advertising. In this world, image makers, rather than theorists, stood at the forefront of the architectural production, performing as “visual marketers.” Thomas Gordon Cullen (1914–1994), the subject of this dissertation and one of the best-known twentieth-century architectural draftsmen to emerge from Britain, flourished during this visual consumerist push.
