Sponsored by Washington Univer- sity, the Seismic Retrofit (structural enhancement) short course will be held May 16-18 at the St. Louis Airport Hilton. It is intended for the nation's designers, public officials, facilities managers and decision-makers needing practical information on the evaluation of structures for retrofitting and the performance of retrofitted structures during an earthquake. The conference features some of the top construction, design and earthquake experts in the United States, including professionals from the San Francisco Bay area who witnessed the Oct. 17 Loma Prieta earthquake devastation firsthand.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture NISEI ARCHITECTS: CHALLENGES AND ACHIEVEMENTS A Thesis in Architecture by Katrin Freude © 2017 Katrin Freude Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Architecture May 2017 The Thesis of Katrin Freude was reviewed and approved* by the following: Alexandra Staub Associate Professor of Architecture Thesis Advisor Denise Costanzo Associate Professor of Architecture Thesis Co-Advisor Katsuhiko Muramoto Associate Professor of Architecture Craig Zabel Associate Professor of Art History Head of the Department of Art History Ute Poerschke Associate Professor of Architecture Director of Graduate Studies *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii Abstract Japanese-Americans and their culture have been perceived very ambivalently in the United States in the middle of the twentieth century; while they mostly faced discrimination for their ethnicity by the white majority in the United States, there has also been a consistent group of admirers of the Japanese art and architecture. Nisei (Japanese-Americans of the second generation) architects inherited the racial stigma of the Japanese minority but increasingly benefited from the new aesthetic light that was cast, in both pre- and post-war years, on Japanese art and architecture. This thesis aims to clarify how Nisei architects dealt with this ambivalence and how it was mirrored in their professional lives and their built designs. How did architects, operating in the United States, perceive Japanese architecture? How did these perceptions affect their designs? I aim to clarify these influences through case studies that will include such general issues as (1) Japanese-Americans’ general cultural evolution, (2) architects operating in the United States and their relation to Japanese architecture, and (3) biographies of three Nisei architects: George Nakashima, Minoru Yamasaki, and George Matsumoto.

It‘s important that we all chip in. WRIGHT: We‘re glad to hear that. We know your work with NASA began as early as 1967 when you became employed by Bellcomm [Incorporated]. Could you share with us how you learned about that opportunity and how you made that transition into becoming an employee there? EL-BAZ: Just the backdrop, I finished my PhD here in the US. First job offer was from Germany. It was in June 1964; I was teaching there [at the University of Heidelberg] until December 1965. I went to Egypt then, tried to get a job in geology. I was unable for a whole year, so I came back to the US as an immigrant in the end of 1966. For the first three months of 1967, I began to search for a job.

  • Dissimilarity and the North American Gallerias of Houston and Toronto
    A Tale of Two Cities: Dissimilarity and the North American Gallerias of Houston and Toronto On the surface, the North American cities of Houston and Toronto share very lit- tle in common. Their climates, geographies, cultures, and urban forms are radi- cally different. Their political sensibilities and civic aspirations reveal remarkably divergent philosophies in regard to the public realm. However, both cities rep- resent dynamic, global, cosmopolitan places that are important at national and international scales. Both cities act as primary gateways for immigrants to their respective nations. Each witnessed rapid expansion and transformative devel- opment in the 1970s that shifted their economic and cultural significance on a global scale. It was during this time that both cities received several key architectural land- GREGORY MARINIC marks, and more particularly, a destination-type, regional shopping com- University of Houston plex modelled on the Galleria Emanuele II in Milan. These new buildings—the Houston Galleria and the Toronto Eaton Centre—reflected a shift toward alterna- tive approaches to retail, urbanism, and the public realm in their respective cities. Through the lens of consumption, this essay examines the divergent histories of the Houston Galleria and Toronto Eaton Centre in regard to their design, plan- ning, and development agendas. It discusses larger urban issues that emerged at a critical moment in history when Houston and Toronto would embark upon vastly different paths of urban growth. Developmental practices evidenced in the design and construction of these gallerias would come to define contrasting urban cultures which evolved incrementally over the next thirty years. PLACELESSNESS AND UTOPIA Shopping malls represent contemporary North American and increasingly global cultural sensibilities and desires.

    yo Obata has creativity in his genes. Gyo Obata His dad was a famous artist and his Founding Partner, Gmom was a talented floral designer. When Gyo was six years old, he left his Hellmuth, Obata, & home in San Francisco to spend a year at his grandmother’s house in Japan. There, Kassabaum (HOK) he learned about Japanese architecture, a building style that closely imitates the forms of nature. This experience convinced him that he wanted to become an accomplished architect. Gyo moved to St. Louis in 1942 to attend the Washington University School of Architecture. He later studied at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan with master architect Eliel Saarinen, the father of the man who designed the St. Louis Arch. In 1955, Gyo joined George Hellmuth and George Kassabaum to form HOK. The firm now ranks as the largest architectural firm in the world, with more than 1,900 employees in 24 offices on four continents. Gyo has designed airports, museums, hospitals, universities, courthouses, office buildings, laboratories and churches throughout the world. In the St. Louis region, he has designed the Thomas F. Eagleton U.S. Courthouse, Lambert St. Louis International Airport, Missouri History Museum Expansion in Forest Park, Living World at the St. Louis Zoo, Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville campus, and Saint Louis Galleria shopping center. Gyo designs buildings from the inside-out. Before developing concepts, he studies who is going to occupy the structure and how they’re going to use and move throughout the building. He strives to enhance the quality of life of the people who will live, work, or have fun in a building.
