Providingstudents with a building experience tieddirectly to their own design efforts respondsto the School’s mission, while broadeningopportunities for the students. Last year’sprojects are described even while two newprojects are in construction at this writing.Just as the design/build studio enriches theSchool’s offerings, so too do the continuingachievements of the School’s faculty. Fromthe past year, there are numerous examplesof faculty excellence. I will point out severalstarting with the promotion of ProfessorsRichard John and Carie Penabad to the rankof Associate Professor with tenure.Professor John has taught across thecurriculum, now focusing on the core historysurvey and a studio in classical architecture.His current scholarly focus is the editorshipof The Classicist, a journal sponsored bythe Institute of Classical Architecture andClassical America, which Professor John haselevated to a new status as a peer-reviewedjournal. The Classicist No. 8 is a publicationof unsurpassable beauty.Professor Penabad has focused her teachingon design, drawing, and preservationdocumentation. Her research illuminates thehistory of South Florida architecture. Herbook, Marion Manley: Miami’s First WomanArchitect, co-authored with Senior LecturerCatherine Lynn, led to last year’s exhibition oforiginal blueprints and drawings at the School.Penabad also shares an award-winningarchitectural practice with Adib Cure.Adib Cure, promoted to Assistant Professor inPractice, continues his dedication to teachinga required systems course, and to the designstudy of informal settlements, a researchfocus that is gaining national attention. Hewill present this work at several internationalconferences this year.Other rising stars include Lecturer JacobBrillhart, and part-time faculty member VictorSantana, who have received a grant from theMetropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) topublish a book describing their collaborativeproposal for the 17-mile-long downtown Miamiwaterfront promenade.Allan Shulman’s co-authored publication ofMiami Architecture: An AIA Guide FeaturingDowntown, the Beaches, and CoconutGrove, released in time for the June 2010AIA National Convention, as well as hisarticle in Architectural Record “Miami GrowsUp” for the same occasion, were front andcenter during the national meeting in MiamiBeach last summer. Professor Shulmanhas also revived the School’s advocacyof the Intern Development Program (IDP)for students.In November, the Miami chapter of theAmerican Institute of Architects (AIA)presented Shulman with the highest honor ofthe chapter, the H. Samuel Kruse Silver Medalfor Design. Design awards were given to JoseGelabert-Navia’s Miami office of Perkins andWill, and part-time faculty member SebastianEilert won Young Architect of the Year. Atthe 18th Congress for the New Urbanismearlier in the year, academic awards went toour students Jared Sedam for “RedevelopingRhode Island’s Forgotten Riverfronts,Westerly, Rhode Island” and Victor Santana,Benjamin Ghareeb, Jared Sedam and JeffreyHall for “Alameda Market: A New SustainableUrbanism, Denver, Colorado.” Also during theCongress, as part of the team receiving oneof three Driehaus Form Based Codes InstituteAwards, my role as the lead consultant onMiami 21, the four-year City of Miami zoningcode revision, was recognized.The faculty continues to develop the curriculumareas of focus including urban design, real estatedevelopment, historic preservation and designfor health care. You will read about this in thestories that follow: the MRED+U and its charretterecommendations for the City of Hollywood;our continuing activism on the preservation andredevelopment of the Miami Marine Stadium;faculty collaborations with other Universitydepartments on health care issues, includingthe 2011 University-wide Global BusinessForum and a new course this spring combiningArchitecture, Law and Business faculty.One member of the faculty has taken onthe mantle of patron of the School as wellas educator: Tom Spain not only continueshis excellent teaching, but also continuesdeveloping the much appreciated andentertaining fund-raising of the Annual AlumniGolf Tournament. This year’s proceedstotaled over $50,000 and will augment agrowing endowment that will enable morestudents to participate in the Rome Program.The faculty is truly the great treasure ofthe School of Architecture. Its membersnever cease to amaze with their dedicationto excellence in teaching, in scholarship,in practice, and in their commitment toeach student’s experience, with a sense ofcommitment and collegiality that has madethis School what it is today.You will be receiving this newsletter at thetime of the accreditation team visit of theNational Architecture Accrediting Board(NAAB). It has been six years since our lastreview passed with flying colors. But as welearned in preparing this year’s ArchitectureProgram Report (APR), in the interval muchhas changed in the world of professionalprograms. The School response to the newrequirements has been an opportunity for selfstudy.Responding to changes in the criteriaand to reporting requirements has given usrenewed impetus for continuous improvementin all our efforts.On giving this newsletter a final reading, I’melated at the news we have to tell. It has beena banner year, and I’m confident that 2011and our accreditation evaluation will onceagain emphasize the excellence for whichwe have long been recognized. This pathto excellence and everything we do along theway benefits so much from your involvement– our alumni and our many friends.

3HELP FOR HAITI FROM THE HEAD AND HEARTLeft: Prototype of a health care facility and public square as a focus for village life, by Wendy Caraballo, part-time faculty member. A “place of exchange” representing village markets, byAlumnus Brian Lemmerman, 09’.At the request of the Haitian government’sCommission for Reconstruction, the Universityof Miami School of Architecture respondedto the January earthquake in Haiti with theHaiti Charrette, a five-day event in March, toaddress post-earthquake planning.“It was a respectful collaboration: both sidesbrought knowledge to the table -- the Haitians,experience from being on the ground there,the faculty, experience with New Urbanisttechniques,” said Sonia Chao, Director, Centerfor Urban & Community Design (CUCD). “Itwas an amazing gathering of people workingclosely to share information and pull togetherproposals that would support the Haitian vision.It is important to underline that we weren’t tryingto impose our ideas; we were trying to facilitatetheir vision to distill it through the experienceswe have as urban designers.”The CUCD organized the logistics for thecharrette, Associate Dean Denis Hectortraveled to Haiti to begin the planning process– other faculty participants included ProfessorsJaime Correa, Joanna Lombard, Steve Fett,and Dean Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk.Many volunteers from among studentsand from the university gathered for fiveconsecutive days to focus on Haiti’s history,post-quake condition and future. “Peoplecame from Providence, New York, and NorthCarolina. Three individuals from the DominicanRepublic flew here on their own dime to donatetheir time and expertise,” Chao said. “It washeartwarming to have people come from suchfaraway places to help, everyone wanting tomake a difference.”The Charrette provided a forum for Haitianarchitects, planners and engineers to workwith faculty and students of the School ofArchitecture, the College of Engineering,Rosenstiel School of Marine and AtmosphericSciences, and design professionals fromthe Haitian community in Miami, to providespatial concepts for the government’s vision ofrebuilding as well as sustainable developmentmodels for prototypical new communities,Chao said.The body of work produced in the Charrettesupported the Haitian government’s PostDisaster Needs Assessment recommendationspresented at the United Nations InternationalDonors Conference at the end of March in NewYork. Nearly $10 billion in recovery funds werepledged from around the world as a resultof the conference.The School of Architecture was proud to hostthe Haitian delegation that included: MaxAntoine, Director Haiti Border DevelopmentCommission; Gerald ‘Aby’ Brun, Engineer,co-creator of TECINA, ReconstructionCommission for Territorial Cleaning, DebrisManagement and Public Works; GiselaBrun, Architect; Charles Claremont, CEO,SDGE Bank, Presidential ReconstructionCommission; Henry Robert Jolibois, TechnicalConsultant to the Office of the Prime Minister;Executive Secretary of the PresidentialCommission for National Heritage; PaulEmile Simon, Architect and City Planner;Member of CIAT, Executive Secretary of theReconstruction Commission; Leslie Voltaire,Special Envoy to the United Nations from Haiti,Lead Advisor, Territorial and Special Planning- Presidential Reconstruction Commission,CIAT Contributor.Miami-based architect Boukman Mangones-- a project manager at R.J. HeisenbottleArchitects, led a team focusing on thecountry’s endangered cultural heritage.“The University of Miami School ofArchitecture’s workshop along with the supportthroughout the University has demonstratedthe institution can do great things for peoplein need,” Mangones said. “Project Medishare,that Dr. Barth Green established, is amazing-- everybody in Haiti is in awe. But the Schoolof Architecture realizes that disaster responseshouldn’t just be limited to medical assistance.The University is taking the initiative andleading the way to inspire more people to getinvolved in not just rebuilding, but building amore sustainable future.”The Miller School of Medicine, led by Dr.Barth Green, was a life-saving first responderafter the earthquake, setting up a temporaryhospital in Port-au-Prince. Green’s ProjectMedishare continues to deliver health care toHaitians in need.“At the University of Miami, concern about Haitiis wide and deep, involving many of our schoolsand centers. Because of the large Haitianpopulation in the greater Miami area and itsproximity to Haiti, the University had long agodetermined that it should build relationshipswith our close hemispheric neighbor,” Chaostated in the report on the charrette.“In the aftermath of the quake, that relationshiphas strengthened as we established channelsof communication with Haitian ministries,government leaders and humanitarian NGO’s-- all in an effort to learn how our school couldassist in addressing pressing needs, in light ofthe country’s chaotic present as well as ourschool’s established strengths.”“We focused on being respectful of local traditionswhile trying to build on them,” Chao said. “Thecharrette addressed many conditions from thevery rural to the urban. We looked at reinforcingvillage life, preserving the historic center of Portau-Prince,building new villages away from thefault lines. We discussed ways of minimizing theimpact of multiple disasters, from landslides toearthquakes to hurricanes. Everyone cares verymuch about creating a way for the country to risephoenix-like from the ashes of this catastrophe-- into something better.”Leslie Voltaire, Special Envoy to the United Nations from Haiti (left) and graduate studentAaron Aeschliman.Dean Plater-Zyberk, Marcos Bastian of Urban Design Solutions, Orlando, and Alumnus BrianLemmerman ‘09.Charrette members gather around Bill Dennis of Providence, RI and Henryka Manes of Eco-Works International.

Selected set design by 5th year architecture student Joe Sheridan: computer renderings for Strawberry Fields (left) and Ballymore. Part I: Winners (center and right). Because of their diametricallyopposed settings and scripts (Central Park in Strawberry Fields and the hilly landscape overlooking the town of Ballymore, Ireland, in Ballymore, Part I: Winners), the scenic concept distanceditself from any real location. The enclosed curvilinear space defined by a 10-foot-high wall makes the spectator focus on the actors, their figures and conflicts; a 70-foot curved screen loomsabove the space and captures a series of constantly changing and morphing digital images. The production of the sets was coordinated by Professor Jean-François Lejeune and Adrian Villaraos,Woodshop Director School of Architecture.From left to right: Set Design for Strawberry Fields (Billy King); set design for Ballymore.
