Chapter/AJA 2 Texas Architect Convention Focus: Energy Focus 77 Energy. Texas Society of Architects 38th Annual Meeting, El Paso Civic Center, October 19-21, 1977. Well, it's almost that time of year again, time for the architects of our sprawling state (and driving out to El Paso you get an idea of how big Texas really is) to leave the drawing boards for three days of El Paso style conventioneering. There will be plenty of the fun that everyone always expects from conventions-the let-your-hair-down good times, the mixing and mingling, the lighthearted conviviality-all in the context of professional camaraderie. It will be a time for catching up, for renewing old acquaintances and for making new ones. And it will be a time for that informal, yet invaluable, interchange among colleagues which is one of the primary benefits of membership in any professional organization. Also this year there will be the annual product exhibition. in which some seventy or so manufacturers are represented. affording architects an opportunity to keep up with rapid change and progress within the construction and furnishings industries. It will be something of a marketplace of ideas. where suppliers and specifiers intennix for their mutual benefit. And again. as in times past. the architects will explore a general convention theme of interest to the profession. This year's emphasis -our focus-is on the subject of energy. Yes, energy-even though we arc bombarded with the word every day- because problems and available solutions as they pertain to architecture are still hazy. And we need to bring them into focus. Consider that. despite all the hubbub about energy conservation, we as a nation continue to consume more energy than ever before. Since a full 30 percent of our energy consumption is due to buildings, the significance of our role as architects is obvious. Yet the profession has been slow to push for dramatic change and reliable new technology in the energy field. So it is that this year's annual meeting will be a time of assessment and evaluation. a time for nuts-and-bolts ~essions on solar applications and energy conservation methods. And what better place to dwell on the subject of energy than El Paso, City of the Sun. where day after day after day we are bathed in that shimmering vitality that beckons to serve our needs?

The Outstanding Alumni Award is the highest honor the college bestows on its former students. There is perhaps no greater measure of a school’s success than for its graduates to command the respect of those whom they were prepared to serve. The former students we honor this year, as well as those recognized previously, have not only gained the respect of their peers, but have been acclaimed as pioneers in their respective fields. They have advanced their professions with new knowledge wrought through innovation, extraordinary talent, and hard work.

    A LIFE IN CONTEXT: FINDING FORM IN LEWIS T. MAY by NATALIE A.

Stackable 2006 All Rights Reserved ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Lewis T. May so thoughtfully provided his time, project materials and insights which have enabled the creation of this thesis. I would also like to thank Ken Bailey, his studio manager for working with me to schedule visits and interviews and ensuring that I received the necessary information to complete this thesis. I also need to thank his associates who gave of their time: Nancy Fleshman, Verrick Walker, Sandy Lynch, Richard Rome, Van Cox, and M. David Low. Without these folks, it would not have been possible to obtain a full and complete understanding of the many roles and contributions May has made to the field. Additionally, I would like to thank my committee chair, Gary O. Robinette and the other committee members, Dr. Pat Taylor and David Hopman for having faith in my ability to complete the thesis while I resided three hundred miles away from their expertise and guidance. Last, but certainly not least, my husband, Phil, for encouraging me to remain focused and helping me overcome the obstacles I encountered during this process. This exegesis would not have been possible without his support and faith in allowing me to attend the MLA program at the University of Texas at Arlington while he remained back at the homestead in Houston.

  • Origins and Impact of CRS's Problem Seeking
    The Program as Problem: Origins and Impact of CRS’s Problem Seeking This paper contributes to our understanding of the problematizing of architec- ture by focusing on how the task of defining the scope and nature of a future architectural project, commonly referred to as the “program” or “brief,” came to be framed as defining a problem to be solved through design. This story takes us through post-World War II America, the design of the first schools to accommo- date the baby boom, and the growth and management of Caudill Rowlett Scott, Architects, an architecture firm that pioneered an approach to architectural pro- gramming, that still influences the profession. The approach, known as “prob- lem seeking,” is now synonymous with managing overwhelming amounts of information associated with large and complex building projects. During the sys- tems thinking era following World War II, in which management theorists strug- gled with understanding decision making under uncertainty, problem seeking emerged in response to the very real challenges met head on by an aggressive architecture firm that aspired to both design innovation and corporate growth. In covering the origins and impacts of problem seeking, this investigation helps us to understand how the problematizing of the program presents a challenge for contemporary education and practice. ORIGINS BRIAN SCHERMER The formal establishment of the program as a “problem” for architecture University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee occurred after World War II when social, economic, and technological factors transformed the design and construction of buildings into a complex endeavor in critical need of data management and consensus building.
