Institutional Support and Commitment to Continuous Improvement I.1. Identity & Self Assessment I.1.1. History Mission Introduction This section outlines the history and mission of Lawrence Technological University (LTU), the College of Architecture and Design and the Department of Architecture (CoAD), highlighting how the long-term commitment to inclusive education and a focus upon theory and practice have guided the CoAD’s educational focus. Lawrence Technological University: History, Mission, and Culture Lawrence Institute of Technology (LIT) was founded in 1932 as an independent, nonprofit institution of higher learning. The first president of LIT was Russel E. Lawrence. Henry and Edsel Ford helped launch the institution, providing guidance and space in their sprawling former Model T assembly plant for the school. Accordingly, the institution was “founded on the integrity of teachers and the fostering of a spirit of educational cooperation between industry and learning.” The relationship between the school and local industry (through the embrace of cutting-edge technology and entrepreneurship in manufacturing) has continued to be central to the culture of the University, as has the related commitment to the working student. By the late 1940s, severe overcrowding within the institution’s original building in Highland Park led the second president, E. George Lawrence, to seek a new campus site. In 1955, Lawrence Institute of Technology moved to the present location on Ten Mile Road in Southfield, Michigan, acommunity with a current population of approximately 75,000 residents. Southfield lies within the ‘first ring’ of suburban development around the city of Detroit and remains linked to the questions and possibilities posed by this major urban center. Detroit is a remarkable urban environment, in which political, social, economic and environmental pressures are causing residents to reinvent the policies and practices that govern, shape, and inevitably define a city. Similar discussions are taking place in Flint, Pontiac and other former industrial centers around Detroit. Southfield, which is situated in the midst of these cities and the questions they pose, is an ideal location for the pursuit of scholarly investigation and education. The third president of the institution was Wayne H. Buell who served as President from 1964 to 1977 and then as chairman of the board and CEO until 1981. Dr. Richard E. Marburger served as president from 1977 to 1993, and Dr. Charles M. Chambers served as president from 1993 to 2005. Dr. Lewis Walker was elevated from provost and vice president in 2006, serving as president until 2012. Walker and Marburger currently hold the title of president emeriti. The current president is Dr. Virinder K. Moudgil, who assumed office in 2012. In 1989, the Board of Trustees changed the name of the institution to Lawrence Technological University (LTU), revising its organization and goals and establishing a curriculum based upon a strong liberal arts education core. The University is a co-educational, accredited university composed of the four colleges of Architecture and Design, Engineering, Management, and Arts and Sciences. Lawrence Technological University enrolls over 4,000 students and offers over 60 day and evening associate, undergraduate, and graduate programs. The 100-acre campus in Southfield includes 13 major buildings, a campus quadrangle, and athletic fields. The University also owns much of the surrounding neighborhood on its western edge. 1 Lawrence Technological University Architecture Program Report September 2013 The mission statement of Lawrence Tech identifies, in part, a goal “to develop leaders through innovative and agile programs embracing theory and practice.” Lawrence Tech strives to distinguish itself as a preeminent private university with outstanding academic programs that are accessible to both traditional and non-traditional students – a long-standing commitment that is at the core of LTU’s past and future. Lawrence Tech’s motto – “theory and practice” – reflects the University’s historic orientation toward providing quality educational programs to educate the whole person and prepare its students for professional leadership positions. College of Architecture and Design: History, Mission, and Culture The School of Architecture was established in 1962, having evolved from the former Architectural Engineering Department of the School of Engineering. Earl W. Pellerin, FAIA, directed the development of the architecture program from the institution’s founding in 1932 until his retirement in 1974. Karl H. Greimel, FAIA, served as dean from 1974 to 1990 and Neville Clouten, FRAIA, served as dean from 1990 to 2002. Following Dean Clouten’s tenure, the College was served by two interim deans, David Chasco, FAIA, from 2002 to 2004, and Joseph Veryser, AIA, in the 2004-2005 academic year. The current dean of the College of Architecture and Design, Glen S. LeRoy, FAIA, FAICP, was appointed in June, 2005. Under the Department of Architecture, the Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) professional degree program was first accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) in 1974. The School of Architecture was named the College of Architecture and Design (CoAD) in 1989 at the same time the institution became Lawrence Technological University. NAAB teams visited LTU in 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1997, 2002, and 2008. In 1997, the Master of Architecture (M.Arch), which began in 1973, was accredited as the professional degree program at LTU. At that time, the B.Arch degree was discontinued. Beginning in 2009, qualified alumni holding a B. Arch. degree became eligible to complete additional coursework and upgrade their degrees to the M.Arch. A semester calendar was adopted for the University in 1994, and the College of Architecture and Design incorporated major curricular changes in all of its programs. A four-year pre-professional B.S. in Architecture was devised as a prerequisite to entry into the professional

Modernism Without Modernity: The Rise of Modernist Architecture in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, 1890-1940 Abstract : Why did machine-age modernist architecture diffuse to Latin America so quickly after its rise in Continental Europe during the 1910s and 1920s? Why was it a more successful movement in relatively backward Brazil and Mexico than in more affluent and industrialized Argentina? After reviewing the historical development of architectural modernism in these three countries, several explanations are tested against the comparative evidence. Standards of living, industrialization, sociopolitical upheaval, and the absence of working-class consumerism are found to be limited as explanations. As in Europe, Modernism

  • Prohibition's Proving Ground: Automobile Culture and Dry
    PROHIBITION’S PROVING GROUND: AUTOMOBILE CULTURE AND DRY ENFORCEMENT ON THE TOLEDO-DETROIT-WINDSOR CORRIDOR, 1913-1933 Joseph Boggs A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2019 Committee: Michael Brooks, Advisor Rebecca Mancuso © 2019 Joseph Boggs All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Michael Brooks, Advisor The rapid rise of an automobile culture in the 1910s and 20s provided ordinary North Americans greater mobility, freedom, privacy, and economic opportunity. Simultaneously, the United States and Canada witnessed a surge in “dry” sentiments and laws, culminating in the passage of the 18th Amendment and various provincial acts that precluded the outright sale of alcohol to the public. In turn, enforcement of prohibition legislation became more problematic due to society’s quick embracing of the automobile and bootleggers’ willingness to utilize cars for their illegal endeavors. By closely examining the Toledo-Detroit-Windsor corridor—a region known both for its motorcar culture and rum-running reputation—during the time period of 1913-1933, it is evident why prohibition failed in this area. Dry enforcers and government officials, frequently engaging in controversial policing tactics when confronting suspected motorists, could not overcome the distinct advantages that automobiles afforded to entrepreneurial bootleggers and the organized networks of criminals who exploited the transnational nature of the region. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................. 1 CHAPTER I.

Focus groups identified non-burdensome ways that project partners were already collecting or could easily collect information to quantify and track impact. This feedback was developed into quantitative surveys that were administered via partners in 2018 and analyzed in early 2019. Forty one percent of City of Design partners collected or are planning to collect data related to their project’s impact. At this early stage of the work, event attendance and demographic data is easiest to collect, and only three partners were able to measure the impact of programming on changes in perspective, thoughts on participation, or building usage. An additional three partners collected data on investment or revenue from public and private sources. Data collection is ongoing. Wherever impact is cited within this report, it has been sourced via these partner data collection efforts. Interviews to inform the development of the three case studies were conducted in March, 2019, by EarlyWorks, llc. 2 DETROIT UNESCO CITY OF DESIGN | 2019 MONITORING REPORT By championing Detroit design, we contribute to the As a result, we are happy to announce that Detroit development of a thriving city that offers opportunities Creative Corridor Center has become Design Core for all.
