GOing GREEN, GOing BLUE

1 letter from the dean As 2007 comes to a close, we take our hats off to those who made donations
3 the michigan difference over the year. We are sincerely thankful for these contributions, which come
in many sizes, forms, and colors. Sometimes it is donated time and labor,
but most typically it is a monetary gift. We make no secret that we like
updates the color of greenback contributions, because they help underwrite the

10 faculty to which colleges and universities are dedicated. Whether a modest cash
15 student contribution or a large estate gift, they all add up to a better education for the
next generation, which is essential to the functioning and well-being of the
community, the nation, and the world. This year, we were blessed with many

calendar Their own generous $100,000 gift has endowed the Centennial Travel Fund
for students. With matches, the endowment already has a market value of
$132,000enough to annually fly as many as 10 students abroad. A number
of alums have started endowments for needy undergraduates in response
to the Presidents Challenge. See page 32 for campaign news and update.
The campaign ends in one year, December 31, 2008. Including estate pledges,
we have already surpassed our $40 million original campaign goal! And with
your help, we can reach our revised goal of $43 million, which was increased to
include the building addition.

The Centennial Travel Fund brings up a different type of green

sustainability. A buzz word to be sure, but as Associate Professor of Urban
Planning Scott Campbell pointed out many years ago, its a helpful and
essential word in the public dialogue about the environment despite its
sometimes vague meaning. Another useful environmental term is carbon
footprint, a metric for carbon dioxide emissions, typically released by the
burning of fossil fuels. CO2 is the primary greenhouse gas (GHG) that
traps solar radiation and heats up the earth. Scientists are now alarmed that
the temperature rise is happening at a faster rate than originally predicted.
Whether you believe the prevailing scientific explanations and predictions
or not, theres scant remaining doubt that we earthlings are in for some
troubling if not cataclysmic global climate change. There now is widespread
agreement among climate scientists that some additional temperature
rise is already in the system. This increase is guaranteed to happen because
some of the greenhouse gas humans have pumped into the atmosphere will
remain there for years. The good news is that irreversible overheating and
environmental disasters are preventable if we act soon and decisively. Act we
must! Act we will!

growing share of greenhouse gas. Members of our urban and regional
planning faculty, including Jonathan Levine, Joe Grengs, Chris Leinberger
and Sue Zielinski, are working to reveal how better land use patterns and
walkable urbanism can make for less frequent and shorter trips, with a
commensurate reduction in energy consumption, pollution, and greenhouse
gas production. It is an exciting and crucial sustainable mobility project
that includes UMs Center for the Study of Complex Systems. (There are

other faculty working on sustainable buildings and cities,
but there is not room enough in this letter to discuss their
work.)
And theres air travel, which is roughly twice as deleterious
to the biosphere per mile than surface transportation. (It
usually entails more miles of travel). We have brewing
a true dilemma, perhaps a Greek tragedy: for long trips
we all now depend on flying. On trips that the college
underwrites, our faculty, students, and staff fly 1,120,000
miles per year! Those trips produce some 250 tons of CO2.
Ironically, we encourage and support air travel, because we
want our students to study internationally and our faculty
to participate in far-flung conferences. What can we do
about this serious but seemingly unavoidable problem? The
first response is to cut back on unnecessary trips. Cheap
air travel, just like cheap automobile travel, has induced
extra and sometimes needless trips. If jet fuel were priced
according to its true costs, including all the environmental
ones, it would be considerably more expensive to fly. Wed
think twice before winging across the county for a short
vacation or for a days meeting.
A carbon tax would be an ideal way to bring fuel pricing
into alignment with costs, but a carbon cap and trade
system seems more likely to make it through Congress.
Carbon trading consists of carbon offsets or credits, an increase the gift amount. There are many, many other
ingenious if complicated way to pick the lowest hanging
environmental fruit. For instance, you can buy carbon
credits to offset the CO2 production from your annual air
and automobile travel. My wife Kathleen and I purchase
them from Native Energy, a group that is helping Native
American tribes in the Dakotas invest in renewable
energy from wind, solar, and methane sources. Its a
very cost-effective way to reduce both the planets and
our households carbon footprints. We could, you might
argue, simply reduce our personal energy consumption
closer to homelower our thermostat, buy a hybrid car,
plant trees, buy more food at the farmers market. Those
measures are also essential and good, but not enough
to offset the tons of CO2 our travel produces. Harvesting
wind in windier places and solar energy in sunnier places
makes more environmental and economic sense. (And
supporting Native Americans is socially equitable, aligning
this particular carbon offset program with the three Es of
sustainability Environmental, Economic, and Equity. This
triple bottom line, by the way, was first coined by Professor
Campbell.)

the michigan difference
There are several problems to beware of with carbon
offsets. First, you need to be careful to use a reputable
program, one that makes sound investments that were
not going to be made anyway. Second, offsets will slowly
become less cost-effective as the lowest-hanging fruit
on the planet is picked. Ultimately, if we are to avoid
disastrous climate change, we need to pick all the fruit,
including the hard-to-reach fruit that is less efficient and
has longer paybacks. Thats why we want, for instance,
to include photovoltaic solar panels on the A+A Building
addition, despite the relatively low levels of solar radiation
in Michigan. Photoelectric cells are becoming more and
more cost-effective and will ultimately be essential as
we strive to make the addition carbon-neutral or net
zero. (Planting trees to sequester carbon is another offset
strategy, but the college would have to plant some 250
trees every year to cover its air miles alone!) See page 19 for
the menu of energy-savings measures we hope to include
in the addition.
At the beginning of the Michigan Difference Campaign,
Kathleen and I pledged an estate gift to the college to
support the new urban design program. Because energy
and environmental imperatives for the built environment
have since become so pressing, we are changing the
pledge to support sustainable urban design and plan to
constant. Although with the passage of time, my personal
good and deserving causes out there, but it could be
argued that none now has higher stakes or more dire and
unprecedented consequences than global climate change.
I encourage alumni, friends, and faculty to consider
including the college in their estate planning.
As you think about this years, or next years, charitable
contributions, please consider greenhouse gas reduction,
both in your household and in our college household. We
Americans have already pumped more than our planetary
share of GHGs into the atmosphere. The world looks to the
U.S. for leadership and to architects and urban planners
for guidance! By contributing to the green initiatives in
our building addition, you are simultaneously investing in
two profoundly important human endeavorseducation
and sustainability. They are our best bets for the future.
Consider GOing GREEN while GOing BLUE!
Thank you again for your past and future support.
The university has been inviting alumni/ae to share how Michigan has made a
difference in their lives. We have been sharing these stories periodically in Portico.
Having recently returned from my 60th Montpelier High
School Reunion in northwestern Ohio, I will be unable to
attend the Taubman College Alumni reunion on October
1213, 2007. I graduated from the University of Michigan
School of Architecture and Design in 1956 after a series of
two-year tenures.
The first of these was attending Denison University in
Granville, Ohio when I was notable to enter the University
of Michigan in the Fall of 1947. Transferring there in 1949,
I then directly entered architecture school, only to be
drafted into the U.S. Army in 1951. Upon my discharge in
1953, I again pursued my degree at Michigan and received a
bachelor of architecture in the spring of 1956.
The 2007 Homecoming and Lorch Column Dedication
prompted me to include a photo of this artifact, along with
a budding new architecture student, probably taken in
1949.

Thank you for the complimentary copy of Dimensions.
Unlike most things that, with time, drop off of ones
resume, my Dimensions journal participation has remained
copies of Dimensions from 1991 and/or 1992 are long lost
in my garage, the vague memory of organizing an editing
team, contributing my own piece(s), and learning how to
lead a group of colleagues has remained clear. Conveying
in words ones ideas to a lay audience is challenging,
and even more so when they are artistic and theoretical.
Yet, for me, journal participation established a belief in
self actualization. If I can imagine it, draw it, and write it
down..., it can be done!
Richard E. Mitchell, M.U.P.92, General Counsel, Office
of the Governor of the State of Washington
Dean Emeritus Bob Beckley writes: Richard was a planning
student with a degree in architecture from Cornell. When
he was here, he was a real leader (founded OAP, organized
an amazing conference, Dimensions editor) and barriers
between students enrolled in different programs and
students of different races were dissolved in very creative
ways. He now has a position as General Counsel to the
Governor of the State of Washington, and I like to think
that his leadership skills were further honed while he was at
Michigan. (He went on to get a law degree from Syracuse,
before actually embarking on a career.)

Lorch Column Dedication

As a concluding event to the colleges centennial year and
as part of our Alumni Reunion Weekend, October 12 and
13, we dedicated the Lorch Column and thanked the many
friends and alumni/ae of the college who contributed to
the project. The project was entirely paid for by alumni
donors who either donated directly to the Lorch Column
Fund or to the College Enrichment Fund.

Taubman College is playing host to the International
Architecture Workshop under the direction of Assistant
Professor of Architecture Gretchen Wilkins. Wilkins has
conducted studios for the last two years in collaboration
with students and faculty from five countries on four
continents. This year under the title Borderlands, the
workshop will bring together students, faculty, and
practitioners from Spain, Australia, France, Japan, and
Taubman College with representatives from four Detroit-
area non-profit organizations to develop proposals for
a site in southwest Detroit. The proposals will be the
subject of a public exhibit and symposium at the Museum
of Contemporary Art in Detroit (MOCAD) and the UM
Detroit Center in December. Wilkins will also produce a
publication of the proposals and symposium proceedings.
In conjunction with the Borderlands Workshop, lectures
are being delivered by ignasi Perez Arnal, International
University of Catalunya, Barcelona; Silvrestre Castellani,
ese studio, Barcelona; Jan van Schaik, RMIT University,
Melbourne; Senhiko Nakata, Tohoku University, Sendai,
Japan; and Elodie Nourrigat, National and Superior School
of Architecture of Montepellier, Montepellier, France. The
workshop is receiving support from the Knight Fund of the
Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan as well
as the UM Center for European Studies, Rackham School
of Graduate Studies, the Office of the Vice President for
Research, as well as Taubman College.

The International Architecture
Workshop will work on a site in
Southwest Detroit.
The Association of Collegiate Schools of Plannings 48th
annual conference invited a number of TCAUP faculty and
students as presenters, moderators, and panelists. The
four-day event held October 1821, 2007 in Milwaukee
titled Building Ladders to the Middle Class: Planning for
Equitable and Sustainable Prosperity focused on opening
a conversation about the ways in which planners can
(and do) shape the choices available to households and
influence the choices that households make.
TCAUP faculty who participated include Scott Campbell,
Margaret Dewar, Robert Fishman, Joe Grengs, Elsie
Harper-Anderson, Larissa Larsen, Jonathan Levine,
Richard Norton, and Gavin Shatkin. TCAUP students
included Carlton Basmajian, Nina David, Malo Hutson,
Charles Kaylor, Louna Khirfan, Carolyn Loh, Neha Sami,
Daniel Spiess, Sanjeev Vidyarthi, and Xiaoguang Wang. To

DTW/ANC: Architecture of Extremes is a design studio
being led by Lecturer in Architecture Danelle Guthrie
focusing on a site near Anchorage, Alaska. Students
made a site visit in September and were billeted with
Anchorage area architects and their families. This provided
them a unique opportunity to learn about the work these
professionals are engaged in and the challenges and
opportunities of designing in extreme conditions. They
visited various architectural projects in the Anchorage area
and got an overview of the surrounding landscape. During
the remainder of the semester, students are developing
a speculative project on a site outside Anchorage. At
midterm two Anchorage-based architects visited Ann
Arbor to participate in studio conversations and reviews.
The same architects will return at terms end to participate
in final reviews. The studio received funding from the
Kumin Foundation in memory of alumnus Jonathan
Kumin, B.S.70, M.Arch.72 who practiced for over 20 years
in Alaska.
The Urban and Regional Planning program sponsored
an international studio in Reykjavik, Iceland during
the summer of 2007. The studio was taught by Orri
Gunnarsson, M.U.P.07 under the auspices of URP Chair
Jonathan Levine.

Visiting Faculty
Douglas Graf will be both the Colin Clipson Visiting Fellow
and the Charles Moore Visiting Professor during the winter
semester. He received an A.B. in architecture and urban
planning from Princeton and a M.Arch. from Harvard and
currently teaches courses in design and architectural theory
at the Knowlton School of Architecture at the Ohio State
University. His teaching career has included the Kentucky,
Washington, and Yale, as well as positions in Britain, Ger-
many, and Finland, where he first went on a Fulbright to
study the work of Alvar Aalto. He has received five teaching
awards.
His interest in design theory has a primary focus on formal
analysis, which is applied not only to architecture but also
to urban form, landscape, photography, painting, product
design, and graphics. One of his signature investigations
has been into the structure and use of diagrams as tools for
close reading, beginning with an article in Perspecta. Many
of his investigations have explored metaphoric time as a
central design strategy with essays on buildings as diverse
as the Sancturary of Aesklepios, Ronchamp, Villa Mairea,
and Vaux-le-Vicomte. He has also written about the idea
of the encyclopedic set as a persistent means of modeling
complexity and the use of fictive landscapes to derive nar-
ratives for the city.
He currently divides his time between Columbus (the one
in Ohio) and London (not the one in Ohio), where he has
been researching the design strategies in English gardens
and the formal structure of the pre-industrial village. He is
one of the principals in Mid-Ohio Design, a firm of archi-
tects and urban designers whose work elides from the real
to the academic and who have won a number of urban
design competitions.

Global Suburbs Conference
Regional Planning are sponsoring an interdisciplinary
graduate student conference on international metropolitan
expansion, March 7th and 8th, 2008.
Global Suburbs will allow scholars from a wide range
of fields to present their research on the spatial,
economic, cultural, political, and environmental aspects
of suburbanization around the world. While studies of
American suburbanization comprise a robust set of sub-
fields in academia, the relationships between disparate
scholars working on international suburbanization are not
often recognized. This conference will allow future leaders
of the field to identify and engage the ideas, methods, and
fellow researchers for what may be the first time in an
academic forum.
The Global Suburbs conference will be held on the
Central Campus. The opening reception and address will
begin 6pm on Friday, March 7th at the Michigan League.
Research presentations will be held Saturday, March 8th,
beginning at 9am on the 4th floor of the Rackham School
of Graduate Studies.
Committee members include architecture doctoral
students Dale Winling, Stephanie Pilat, Kush Patel,
Rachna Lal, Diaan Van Der Westhuizen, Youngchul Kim,
Vandana Baweja, Yongha Hwang, Fusun Erkul, urban
planning doctoral students Neha Sami and Xiaoguang

Covering Her Bases
Centennial Professor of Practice
by Janice Harvey Mary-Ann Ray
Last year, in commemoration of its 100-year anniversary, the College established Centennial Professorships, one
each in architecture and urban planning. Mary-Ann Ray began her five-year appointment as Centennial Professor
of Practice in architecture this fall. She brings over 20 years of architecture experience as a principal with Robert
Mangurian of Studio Works in Los Angeles. Her work ranges from archeological studies, to small speculative projects,
to large mainstream commissions. At Michigan, she will teach a studio and a seminar each fall, participate in thesis
reviews in the winter, and lead a studio to Beijing in the spring.

This article was intended as a companion piece to the Seeds of architecture

profile of Centennial Professor June Manning Thomas in
Portico Fall 2007. But trying to schedule an interview with
Mary-Ann Ray is like trying to pin a wave to the shore. Last
summer found Mary-Ann teaching students in Dusseldorf,
Germany, traveling from there to Beijing then to Rome, and
back to Beijing before returning home to Los Angeles and
from there finally to Ann Arbor.
She confesses, I always felt a little like a nomad or I always
wanted to be. I remember being young and looking at
travel books and the first chance I got I was saving my
money to go somewhere. I guess I have a curiosity about
the bigger humankind. While Mary-Ann has a curiosity
that drives her to explore the world, her activities reflect
reveals an individual who is very much about making
places, communities for herself and for others.
For example, after 15 years of documenting Hadrians
villa outside of Rome with SCI-Arc students, she and
Robert purchased a small farm with 90 olive trees right
up the road from the villa. There they make olive oil
under the label, Tibvrtini (available at Zingermans). In
2005 they established B.A.S.E., the Beijing Architecture
Studio Enterprise, as a forum for architecturea place
for education and practice. Her studio project this fall
is concerned with devising solutions for the floating
population of Beijing. Some 20% of the population are
rural immigrants drawn to the city because they can make
money working in construction for $5 a day. They live on
almost nothing and are separated from their families
whom they visit perhaps only once a year.
Many architects relate childhood stories about building
sandcastles or treehouses as seminal experiences that
marked their futures as architects. But Mary-Ann actually
began by studying painting at the University of Washington
in Seattle. While a student she took a part-time job at the
architecture library. During long evenings at the reception
counter, she met students who introduced her to books
like Learning from Las Vegas by Venturi, Scott Brown and
Izenour or Gods Own Junkyard by Peter Blake.
The summer after college, Mary-Ann left for Europe with
a comprehensive itinerary of paintings and works of art
she wanted to see in countries across the continent. As it
turned out, those paintings were in buildings, the buildings
in cities. As her travels progressed, more and more she
found herself skipping the paintings in favor of the cities
and buildings which captured her imagination and stoked
her interest in architecture.
Back in the states, Mary-Ann began a fellowship at the
Brooklyn Museum in New York. There she found the
art scene in New York not what shed envisioned. As an
abstract expressionist she found herself out of mode with
the more figurative art culture in New York. She began to
think seriously about architecture.
There was something very compelling about architecture
in that the language you use is incredibly abstract and so
I didnt have to leave behind all that I had learned. At the
same time the discussion would start to become part of
environments that reacted and interacted with people.
There was a meaning to the abstraction in architecture that
I hadnt found in painting.
Facing Page: Mary-Ann and work-life partner
Robert Mangurian in Beijing.
During graduate school at Princeton, she spent a semester
at SCI-Arc. There she learned from Robert Mangurian
about an opportunity to work with the artist James Turrell
on the Roden Crater Project. The project (still on-going)
involved turning a volcanic crater on the edge of the
Painted Desert into a massive naked-eye observatory. For
six months she and Robert worked to build the first model
of the crater. At the end of those six months they realized
theyd formed a working partnership and a life partnership.
Studio Works
In 2001, Mary-Ann and Robert were the recipients of a
Chrysler Design Prize, which celebrates designers with
a commitment to innovation, excellence, and sustained
vision. The prize is recognizes those with a curiosity that
compels them to take chances and, in doing so, enrich
our culture. The jury described their every project as an
exercise in cultural archaeology saying that the work
is as much about making buildings as it is deciphering
the genetic code of the worlds design DNA. Mary-Ann
believes that the breadth of their practice and the fact that
it includes teaching is an important reason the Chrysler
Design Prize was awarded to Studio Works.
Above: West Adams High School in Los Angeles
opened for students this fall.
Studio Works does take on traditional commissions and
recently completed West Adams Preparatory Public High
School a school in central LAby far the firms largest
project to date.
West Adams is a school of a quarter of a million square
feet designed to house 2500 students and located in the
inner city. Studio Works was able to design the school as
six learning academies for 500 students apiece, each with
a curricular focusfrom a culinary business academy to
one focusing on film and television. The school is being
sponsored by Mentor LA whose mission is to reinvigorate
inner city public schools. Mentor LA was able to enlist a
fashion designer to donate time to create cool uniforms,
20th Century Fox to donate equipment, and actors to raise
funds for the school.
The word BASE in Chinese means both rooted and
connected as well as a radical springing forth. It could be
the beginnings of a definition of Mary-Anns body of work
and her philosophy of architecture. She says, The work
I do requires me to move around. But she finds ways to
stay connected. She says, I think community becomes
a network of people that replaces a place or localea
community bridged by airplane rides. The professor of
practice is a great way to acknowledge this new paradigm.

 building addition

Greener
The college, as announced in the last issue of Portico, is
in the midst of designing an addition to its part of the Art
and Architecture Building. We are scheduled to present the
schematic design to the University Regents for approval at
their November 15 meeting. Although there is no official
start date, if all goes well, it may be possible to break
ground toward the end of next summer. This schedule will
take hard work and good luck, and is far from certain.
Why is the college building more space? As explained
in the last issue, enrollment and faculty have grown by
almost 20 per cent in the last decade. We are short of
spaceclassrooms, faculty offices (some 95 s.f. offices have
2 or more occupants), and space for design studio, reviews/
juries and research. We also would like to restore a field
library or reading library, because our college library
was moved across Bonisteel Boulevard in the mid 1990s to
the Duderstadt Center (formerly called the Media Union,
where our stacks and reading area are in the windowless
basement.) We need a place where students and faculty
can read and study in daylight!
The site for the proposed addition is the south roof, an
ideal location in programmatic, operational, environmental
and architectural terms. It will help us to horizontally and
vertically knit our programs and facilities together. It also
allows a linear floorplate stretched out east to west
perfect for solar gain and for daylighting. And it permits us
an opportunity to improve the appearance of the buildings
south faade, the most public and visible side of the
building and the one through which most people enter.
Miller/Hull of Seattle is the architect and is working
with top energy consultants. One of the reasons they
were selected was their long and award-winning record
in energy-efficient and green design. Indeed, we hope
to make the project an exemplary model of sustainable
design. Heres our dilemma: we have barely enough funds,
including a sizeable contribution from the provost, to build
the 16,000+ s.f. (Its expensive space because its being
built on the third floor, which requires new stairs and new
columns on piles in poor soil. Building on the roof makes
construction trickier, as does working in an occupied
building. And the passive energy strategies add initial cost,
as do related renovations and upgrades required in the
existing building.)
The design is a textbook case in passive solar heating, as
well as natural lighting and natural ventilation. The base
case utilizes the optimal defensive energy strategies, but
it lacks the budget to implement its offensive energy
strategies. In order to approach our goal of a carbon-free
or carbon-neutral addition, it needs to actually generate
energy. This can be done by adding an array of photovoltaic
panels to produce electricity for lighting and equipment.
As the accompanying chart shows, that could take up to $3
million to achieve self-sufficiency.
Another good energy investment is a ground source or
geothermal heat pump, which harvests energy by tapping
cool and warm earth temperatures during the summer and
winter respectively. Unlike the photovoltaic panels, which
can be added incrementally over time, this investment
must be made up front. So we are hopeful people will step
up to the plate soon to help us underwrite it.
Last is the green roof in the light court, into which dozens
of new and existing faculty offices will look. The living
system consists of a lightweight layer of drought-resistant
ground cover, which detains run-off, provides thermal and
acoustic insulation, produces oxygen and would make
for more pleasant views from the offices and corridors. If
we can raise the money for the materials, we can install
the system with student labor, which would be a good
community-building and cost-saving exercise, as well as a
consciousness-raising activity.
We hope you will consider earmarking this years donation
to these initiatives. Just mark your check Sustainability
Initiatives and we will put it to the highest and best use
in greening the addition. Dean Kelbaugh and his wife are
directing their annual contribution this year and next year
to the initiative. Along with others who have already
contributed to this fund, we hope you too will consider
GOing GREEN while GOing BLUE!

Bonisteel Blvd Photovoltaic Panels: The incoming free solar energy on the future roof of the A&A addition
would provide more than enough energy to heat, cool, and power the addition. In addition to
reducing the additions energy use by employing high efficiency systems like the geothermal
heat pump and using passive heating and daylighting, an active photovoltaic (PV) panel
array is proposed to convert light from the sun directly into electricity. As shown in the
photo, we already have a small array of PVs that provide electricity for lighting our design
studios. The initial addition of 15,000 square feet of state-of-the-art PV panels would supply
approximately 150KW, or roughly 50% of the additions annual energy use.

A $12,000 donation will underwrite a 1 KW array of panels.

Geothermal Heat Pump: Geothermal heat pumps (a.k.a. ground-source heat pumps) use the
ground instead of outside air to provide heating and cooling. While initially more expensive
than conventional methods, geothermal systems are low tech, and among the most
efficient heating and cooling systems available today, offering a seven to eight year payback.
Studios The addition will need 40 to 50 wells to meet its peak heating and cooling loads.
A $10,000 donation will cover the cost of one well.

Centennial Challenges
Alan Berkshire, B.S.82 and Cynthia Reavis Berkshire,
A.B.83 are longtime supporters of Taubman College. In
1997, while still in their 30s, they began building the Alan
and Cynthia Reavis Berkshire Endowed Scholarship Fund.
In three years, they were able to complete their pledge
and the first Berkshire Scholar was named in 2001.
Subsequently, Alan and Cynthia began to explore
other ways to provide opportunities for Taubman
College students. As students, they had benefited from
international travel experiences and recognized the
value of study travel in an increasingly global society.
In September 2006, in honor of the colleges 100th
birthday, they established the Centennial Travel Fund
with a gift of $10,000.
While the Berkshires were excited about creating more
resources for travel, they also wanted to leverage their
gift to encourage more alumni/ae to support the college.
They issued a challenge, offering to match new or
increased gifts directed to graduate scholarships and
to the newly established Centennial Travel Fund. They
committed $100,000 with any balance going to the
Centennial Travel Fund.
During the past year an astonishing 150 TCAUP students
had an opportunity to engage in study overseas. These
Travel Programs
opportunities included spring studio offerings to

Janet L. Attarian, B.S.90, M.Arch.92 is a project director
for the Chicago Department of Transportations streetscape
and sustainable design program. Her team began
researching how it could drain as many as 30 problem
alleys without emptying into sewerswhich already dump
stormwater runoff into the Chicago River, polluting it with
waste. The Green Alleys Program (GAP), administered
by the citys department of transportation, mimics the
benefits of Chicagos much-acclaimed green roofs, which
retain stormwater and prevent it from flowing through the
sewers. Faced with limited options for permeable paving
materials, GAP team members sought to create their
own. One year and $175,000 later, GAP unveiled locally
manufactured, permeable asphalt using ground recycled
tire rubber for fibers and concrete. Thats the part were
most excited about, Janet says. Now that we have a mix,
and have gotten plants to produce it, the goal now is to get
the market up and running. Folks can simply call Janet for
the formula to make the asphalt.
