I can’t prove it, but this past year may have been the first time in CED’s history that all three of our professional graduate programs were ranked the No. 1 public university programs in the country. Moreover, all three programs were among the top six programs, private as well as public. In this select group are Harvard, MIT, and other private universities whose wealth far outstrips that of UC Berkeley.

Rankings are fickle things. They can fluctuate from year to year. But this past year’s ranking “trifecta” indicates that the College of Environmental Design’s flagship professional programs are thriving and their quality is widely recognized: our undergraduates are highly sought after by other top graduate programs, and our doctoral graduates are landing positions at prestigious universities, think tanks, private firms, NGOs, and government agencies.

All CED alumni, as well as our faculty, staff, and students, can be rightfully proud. Educational excellence is a collaborative project that takes extraordinary teachers and dedicated staff, as well as students who are energetic and creative and who constantly push the boundaries of their chosen fields. Leadership matters too, and our talented department chairs, associate deans, and assistant deans are essential to moving everyone forward together.

Maintaining not only our rankings but our academic prestige, while ensuring that students of modest means can obtain a CED education, is my major task as dean. As state funds grow scarcer, we look to a wide variety of resources — particularly philanthropy and alumni contributions — to ensure that we can adequately support our students and offer an intellectually exciting, high caliber education. This past year’s trifecta is thus also a testament to the generous support of the College of Environmental Design by our alumni and friends, for which our entire community is deeply grateful.

Fiat Lux!

Co-authored by Professor of City & Regional Planning Jason Corburn and Ph.D. candidate Alice Sverdlik (Ph.D. City & Regional Planning ’20) for the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, the article “Slum Upgrading and Health Equity” investigates the impact of slum improvement on health equity across the globe.

Almost one in seven people on the planet is expected to reside in urban informal settlements, or slums, by 2030. While informal settlement upgrading is widely recognized for enhancing shelter and promoting economic development, its potential to improve health equity is often overlooked. Corburn and Sverdlik’s research analyzed slum upgrading projects and policies from cities across Asia, Africa and Latin America, evaluating whether and how they captured the influence of upgrading on the social determinants of health (SDOH) using factors such as safe housing, food access, political and gender rights, education and employment status.

Accessible technologies of past decades — from drafting machines to photocopiers to 3D modeling applications, and most recently, pervasive satellite imaging and mapping — clearly altered the evolution of architectural, landscape, and urban discourse. Kullman posits that the widespread adoption of drone technology has similar potential to act as a catalyst for future developments in the design disciplines.

This potential is premised on three characteristics that distinguish drone-based imaging from satellite- derived imaging and mapping: interstitial detail, near real-time control, and content creation wherein In Singapore, the typical set point for office building indoor temperatures is 23°C drones facilitate direct engagement in the creation of (73.4°F).

Consisting of four courses — one on design foundations, two related to specific design skills, and one advanced design capstone class — the Certificate is an excellent way for students to explore design from various perspectives while gaining hands-on, project-based design experience in a uniquely collaborative, interdisciplinary setting.

2016-17 ANNUAL REPORT / 25 CIRCUS AND SOIRÉE 2017 Berkeley Circus and Soirée

Two back-to-back highpoint events, Berkeley Circus and Circus Soirée, continued their tradition of celebrating the best of the CED community. Designed to inspire ongoing innovation and support of the College’s key priorities, Circus and Soirée brought together CED alumni, faculty, and students to enjoy the talent and achievements that make Berkeley’s College of Environmental Design one of the top design schools in the country. This year, over 100 Visiting Fellows — comprised of CED emerti faculty, alumni, and highly-regarded professionals — more than 100 students, a majority of CED faculty, and the entire staff packed Wurster Hall for the all-day event.

Presentations by professors Danika Cooper (LAEP), Malo Hutson (DCRP), and Susan Ubbelohde (ARCH) highlighted new innovative faculty research. After a sun-filled networking lunch, Visiting Fellows gathered in groups to review over 60 presentations of student work. This unique once-a-year experience provides CED students with the invaluable opportunity to share their work, learn from, and be recognized by leaders in a wide range of disciplines in the environmental design field.

2016-17 ANNUAL REPORT / 29 ALUMNI ART SHOWS

a The Sunday Afternoon Watercolor Society: San Francisco Impressions by John Kriken

Nearly 40 years ago, John Kriken (B.Arch ‘61) FAIA, AICP, founded the San Francisco Watercolor Society. Over the decades his prolific body of “plein air” paintings captured beloved Bay Area scenes from bridges to beaches, and beyond. CED was delighted to feature a selection of Kriken’s watercolors at a Wurster Hall Gallery exhibition in February 2017 — The Sunday Afternoon Watercolor Society: San Francisco Impressions.

Kriken is an adjunct professor of urban design at CED and founder of the San Francisco-based Planning + Urban Design Studio of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP (SOM). Today, he serves as a consulting partner at SOM. An award-winning planner and city designer, he is known for his work on large-scale commissions designing large districts within cities, high-density inner cities, entirely new cities and plans for the conservation and development of open land.

As part of the exhibition, proceeds from the sale of original paintings as well as copies of Kriken’s book, The Sunday Afternoon Watercolor Society: San Francisco Impressions, benefitted the Katherine and John Lund Kriken Graduate Student Award established in 2011 to support high-achieving graduate students in the Masters of Urban Design Program at CED.

30 / COLLEGE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN In his recent article, “Shifting Paradigms,” published in the book Landscape at Berkeley celebrating LAEP’s centennial anniversary, Patri comments on the vast changes in landscape architecture. “By the year 2050 the planners tell us that the population of California will reach 60,000,000,” he says. “Frightening as this challenge may sound, I have confidence that UC Berkeley’s Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, with its history of adjusting to the changing demands of the ‘real’ off-campus world … will be capable of even more forward vision to stay ahead of the curve.”

M Land: Fifty Landscape Interpretation Sketches

In January 2017, Wurster Gallery showcased the work of Tito Patri (B.S. Agricultural Science ’55), FASLA Emeritus. Land: Fifty Landscape Interpretation Sketches highlighted Patri’s freehand skills in interpreting human intervention in the landscape. The evocative drawings on display were inspired and created during his travels primarily in Europe, many depicting simpler designs from earlier times that fit comfortably in their environmental contexts.

A number of Patri’s works and papers, from 1955 to 2015, are housed at the Environmental Design Archives at CED under the Tito Patri Collection. The collection also includes a published sketchbook of his travel drawings, regional studies and reports, and documents Patri’s career designing landscapes for residences, businesses, and cities.

Patri taught landscape architecture and environmental planning at CED from 1961 to 1970, and enjoyed a fifty-year professional career in landscape architecture, urban design, and environmental planning, with projects, ranging from community and regional parks to master plans and studies.
