Abstract:
I have taught Wetland Ecology 25 times - 15 as an Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Michigan and UMDearborn while I worked at the USGS-Great Lakes Science Center in Ann Arbor and 10 in my new life in academia as the Empire Innovation Professor of Wetland Science at SUNY--The College at Brockport in my native western New York State. Surprisingly, my favorite lecture of all time is on oxidation-reduction, or redox. Here is the story behind that strange outcome and an overview of the lecture. In my first year at Michigan, I presented a somewhat straightforward lecture on redox from the Mitsch and Gosselink textbook (first edition) that followed the reading assignment. I thought it was going well until I saw the need to pose this question, “When I say ‘ion,’ does everyone know what I mean?” Four students in the class of 40+ informed me that they did not, which was reasonable because they were landscape architecture grad students taking the course because they had interests in design work for wetland restorations and had no chemistry background.

Abstract:
The rapid evolution of the microcomputer has changed the software needs of today's naval architects. The Department of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at The University of Michigan has been a leader in the application of computers in ship design education. The computer environment readily available to the department's students has changed dramatically in the past few years with the evolution of the Computer-Aided Marine Design Laboratory within the department and the creation of the Computer Aided Engineering Network (CAEN) within the College of Engineering. The microcomputer facilities available to the students are briefly described. To fully integrate this capability into the department's curriculum, a coordinated suite of computer-aided ship design software has been developed for use on the Macintosh and IBM-PC/XT/AT microcomputers provided for the students. To support the use of this and other software on a wide range of computers, a portable, device-independent computer graphics subprogram package M-PLOT has been developed. The educational philosophy behind this design software and its scope, capabilities, and use in ship design education are described. Examples of the use of selected programs are presented to illustrate these capabilities. Plans for further work are outlined. The effort is well toward the goal of a complete, microcomputer-based ship design software environment.

AbstractThe breadth of architectural typologies is waning, or so Perry Kulper, Professor of Architecture at Taubman College, University of Michigan, tells us. Kulper's work has for decades focused on the development of dexterous, agile and creative methodologies for speculating about the possibilities of architecture(s) explored through notions of equivalence, remixing, reinterpreting and reimagining. Developed through seven spatial spectral strategies for an installation at the 2023 Chicago Architecture Biennial, familiar landmarks of the city are rescaled and combined to become other implements, adornments and spaces, bringing an uncanny familiarity to their propositions.

Abstract:
The Dept. of Horticulture changed its curriculum prior to 1992 to conform to the change from the quarter to the semester system that took place in Fall 1992. As a result of changes in our student body, their interests, and new accounting procedures for determining productivity in our college and the university, another revamping of our curriculum was accomplished beginning in Fall 1992 and our curriculum was changed again to take effect in Fall 1994. Our students now have a choice of a Landscape, Design, Construction Management option or Horticulture. Students all take a two-semester sequence of an Introductory Horticulture course—they must choose a production and management course from three out of four commodity areas (floriculture, landscape, pomology, or vegetable crops), and three out of five upper-division courses in applied physiology or genetics. They must also take a course in Greenhouse Structures and Management and a senior-level capstone course in Horticutural Management. This curriculum has broadened our students' exposure to horticulture to a much greater degree than was present in our old curriculum. In addition, they have about 20–21 credits (out of 120) for electives.

Abstract:
The software architecture of a developmental robot is a challenging new research subject. This paper presents a theory of developmental mental architecture. Five architecture types, from the simplest Type-1 (observation-driven Markov decision process) to Type-5 (DOSASE MDP), are introduced. The properties and limitations of a simpler one are discussed before the introduction of the next more complex one. Further, we present the architecture design of the Dav robot, a humanoid robot built in the Embodied Intelligence Laboratory at Michigan State University. The framework of the Dav architecture is hand-designed, but the actual controller is developed, i.e. generated autonomously by the developmental program through real-time, online interactions with the real physical environment. We present the Dav architecture and the major components that realize the architecture. The designed architecture for Dav is the next generation version from its extensively tested predecessor, the SAIL developmental robot. Closely related to the issue of performance metrics, the paper also introduces the notion of intelligence completeness (concept completeness, intelligence-metric completeness, and factor completeness) and establishes the concept of the completeness theorem for developmental robotics.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis defines the discipline of Interior Architecture from an academic perspective, from a professional perspective, and through a series of case studies on various building types. The primary building type, which is studied in this thesis, is the university setting, with specific emphasis placed on the "social spaces" within the university, where people interact and collaboratively engage one another and the environment around them. Interior architecture is explored through a study of numerous design elements and psychological phenomena, including proxemics, control of one's environment, response to technology, location of social spaces, permanence versus flexibility, provision of spatial variety, public versus private realms, and multisensory perceptions of three-dimensional space.

Abstract:
The purpose of the thesis is to investigate planning processes for academic library buildings and the outcomes of such processes. This is accomplished through a case study utilising discourse analysis. The main question is: How is a vision of an academic library implemented in and through a building? The case study is retrospective and focused on the building of a newlibrary at Kalmar University, Sweden, at the end of the 1990s. During this period, technological and educational developments and general societal change transformed the context of library planning and made way for renegotiations of the librarian profession.A critical realist approach characterises the study of visions, processes and the analysis of the various functions of the building. Results reveal the proactive nature of the activities of thelibrary director in Kalmar. Early in the process he formulated a vision in which he presents the library as an information resource, a meeting place between different user groups and a workplace intended to promote learning and knowledge. From a professional point of view, the vision implied a dehierarchisation of relations both within the library staff and between library staff and visitors. The vision was based on an interpretation of Swedish national educational policy, and architecturally manifested by an ambition to reduce the physical and psychologicalboundaries between library staff and visitors. The early formulation of the visiontogether with the clients’ use of architectural expertise facilitated the choice of architects.However during the process a need arose to anchor the decision in the library field. Efforts were made to address library expertise and to collect user comments from a broader academic field. Discourses concerning the university library as a workplace and a meeting place wereespecially evident in the strategies of the leading agents. The discourses uncovered in the study correspond to more general discourses which became prominent in society and higher education during the period in question. The library itself has met growing appreciation by users both from within and outside the university.The proactive leadership demonstrated by the library director in Kalmar was based on hegemony rather than coercion. This corresponds to contemporary tendencies. Hegemonic consent may persist even after changes in leadership. In Kalmar however, architectural solutions with insufficient support from the library staff have been reconstructed after changes in leadership.Future research on architectural planning processes may pay further attention to different discursive resources, social fields and the positions within them.

Abstract:
This research project focused on the development of an appropriate interior design proposal for the Hulme F1 supercar. The Hulme F1 supercar, originally designed by Hulme Supercars Ltd, draws exterior design references from contemporary Formula One Grand Prix race cars. In addition, the Hulme F1 supercar integrated visual design cues expressing luxury, high-performance and exoticness. The existing design established the package, window openings, basic controls and door architecture for this study. Based on this material, the interior study focused on an overall aesthetic and its integration with ergonomic, technical and functional requirements. The conceptual nature of this project allowed for the inclusion of speculative and experimental design proposals that were not constrained by local contemporary manufacturing and economic issues. Consequently, the project based itself on a technological forecast of five to ten years. Research first explored and defined several key design motifs central to the Hulme F1 supercar. This involved studies into supercars, luxury, high-performance, exoticness, contemporary Formula One Grand Prix racing and the existing exterior form language. The results from this research established initial themes for development of the interior design proposal. A review of contemporary theory in visual product communication and experience was undertaken to identify an appropriate framework for this investigation. The research of Monö (1997), Norman (2004a) and Warell (2007) was reviewed. Review focused on two areas; a structure appropriate for defining design criteria and a comprehensive framework for visual analysis of exemplars to identify visual design trends. The Visual Product Experience (VPE) framework by Warell offered the most appropriate visual framework for this investigation. Using the VPE framework, a visual analysis of contemporary luxury motorcars, professional race cars and supercars was undertaken. Analysis focused on interior and interior/exterior related design trends. Findings illustrated that luxury motorcars have simple aesthetic compositions with frequent interior/exterior form element repetition. Conversely, professional race cars have complex aesthetic compositions with minimal interior/exterior form element repetition. Meanwhile, supercar interior aesthetics and appear to vary between these two spectrums depending on their overall aesthetic expression. To this end, the analysis illustrated the opposing visual qualities between luxury and high-performance. This suggested the interior design proposal required a delicate balance between complex and simple aesthetic elements to obtain an appropriate overall visual expression. Consequently, the interior design proposal used a combination of flowing soft surfaces and complex detailing to express luxury and high-performance. Research also established criteria for the design of interior functional systems required within the interior design proposal. Interior functional systems included control, body-support, display, storage and safety systems. The development process for the interior design proposal consisted of iterative design methods. This included concept generation, concept development and three-dimensional form studies. Throughout the development process, concepts were screened against design criteria in order to further direct the iterative process. Contemporary Formula One race car illustrated an abundance of visual inspiration for the interior design proposal during the development process. Elements such as exhaust and aerodynamic wing details were referenced within the interior design proposal. The intent of this was to create visual harmony between interior and exterior aesthetics. Research into ingress and egress found a conventionally fixed steering unit impeded participants. As a result, the final design proposed a steering unit that swung towards the centre of the interior for greater entry/exit space. The interior design proposal was assessed by internal and external ‘ design evaluation’ methods. Testing indicated that the interior design proposal had fulfilled most of the experience and performance design criteria and achieved the aim of this research. Overall, this investigation designed an interior design proposal to compliment the exterior design of the Hulme F1 supercar. The interior design proposal was supported by visual framework developed from this research investigation. In addition, the investigation proposed functional and ergonomic solutions to support the interior design proposal.

Atelierworkshop is an innovative Wellington based architectural practice that has advanced into the area of off- site manufacture of container-based housing solutions. Their product, the Port-a-Bach (PAB) is moving into its second generation (PAB Gen-2). This product development initiative has resulted in a range of projects that have been undertaken to improve off-the-grid energy systems, water supply and storage, packaging, transportation and cost reduction. This particular project documents the design and development of an energy management and supply accessory product, called the Bach Pack. The Bach Pack seeks to create a viable product energy system solution, at reduced cost and environmental impact (compared with existing solutions) and to achieve this through the development of the usability aspects and features of the product system. The focus is on developing a quality experience for the end user with regards to the attachment and deployment of the components that make up the Bach Pack product. This accessory and modular product solution enables the PAB Gen-2 to be self-sufficient with regard to electrical energy and water supply, and can be specified at point of sale or added later if required. This document focuses explicitly on the design and development of the solar array segment of the Bach Pack.

Abstract:
William Adam was Scotland’s foremost architect during the second quarter of the eighteenth century.A supporter of the Whig ascendancy, he is primarily celebrated for his country houses, but Scotland’s civic leaders commissioned him to design many public buildings, often very ambitious in their style and scale, to cement the 1707 union and reflect their aspirations for the Scottish people, particularly those least fortunate.Adam drew inspiration from visits to England and the Low Countries, and publications by his fellow Scots, James Gibbs’ Book of Architecture and Colen Campbell’s Vitruvius Britannicus, as well as French and Italian architecture which he knew from folios; this approach reflected the attitudes of his clients, who looked beyond Scotland to better understand what characterized an Enlightened society.Some schemes were expedited through philanthropic fortunes, but elsewhere Adam’s proposals galvanized fund-raising amongst ordinary people in Scotland and abroad, gifts of building materials and voluntary labour.This chapter examines schemes for the town houses of Aberdeen, Dundee, Sanquhar and Haddington, Robert Gordon’s College and Glasgow University Library, Hamilton Parish Church, the unbuilt Surgeons’ Hospital and three major Edinburgh institutions, the Orphan Hospital, George Watson’s and the Royal Infirmary, besides identifying the Charity Workhouse as Adam’s design.

Abstract:
This manuscript is a narrative concerning the evolution of Michigan State University (MSU), the first American Land-grant school and the development of planning and design instruction and research at MSU from the 1860s until the present time, including adaptations in the post-Covid era. Covid is not the first epidemic to influence higher education at MSU, as the school had to adapt to Cholera (1832–1866), Scarlet Fever (1858), Typhoid Fever (1906–1907), H1N1 Flu (1918), Diphtheria (1921–1925), Polio (1916–1955), H2N2 Flu (1957), Second Measles Outbreak (1981–1991), H1M1 Flu (1991), Meningitis (1997 to present), Whooping Cough (2010, 2014), HIV and Aids (1980 to present), and Covid (2020 to present). The narrative presents a depiction of the changing organizational structure/network over time, illustrating the transformations in the sciences, arts, funding, and publication demands with comments, observations, and insights offered by Dr. Burley, FASLA, a now retired MSU landscape architecture faculty member with questions posed by the coauthors. The paper is in the form of traditional historic criticism essays meant to interpret events and activities. To critique does not have negative intent, but rather to bring understanding. The paper illustrates the transition from a German academic model to a diversified free-form education model.

Abstract:
Abstract After graduating from Oxford, Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832) studied law at Lincoln’s Inn. Although he was admitted to the bar in 1767, he was never in practice. Bentham’s monumental work in jurisprudence, An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation (1789), rested on utilitarian principles: legislation should be crafted to promote the greatest happiness for the greatest number. He thought there could be a hedonic calculation of the projectible balance of (physical and psychological) pleasure over pain, taking into account their relative intensity, ramification, and duration, as well as the probability of their occurrence. Bentham applied this principle to the assessment of motives and actions as well as to the evaluation of social policy. Although he is sometimes misrepresented as a radical egoist, his version of hedonism extends to a limited indirect altruism that derives personal pleasure in the well-being of others. While he notoriously claimed that push-pin is as good as poetry, he acknowledged that some intellectual pleasures might be more enduring and ramified than many sensory pleasures. With James and John Stuart Mill, Bentham established University College, London; they also founded and contributed to the politically influential Westminster Review. Bentham produced numerous pamphlets on the issues of the day: the selection of juries, laws of libel, debt and usury, rules of evidence, and public education. He took a lively interest in the theory and practice of civic punishment, formulating characteristically elaborate criteria for a deterrent policy. His interest extended to the architecture of prisons, and he sketched a panoptical design that placed guards in the center of a circular tier of cells. He conducted an extensive political correspondence with his brother Samuel, who served in the British legation in Russia, and with Czar Alexander of Russia, whom he tried to persuade to adopt his measures for penal reform. He hoped to interest Catherine the Great in his Constitutional Code (1830) but declined her invitation to visit Russia. Bentham was made an honorary citizen of France in 1792.

Abstract:
During the summer of 2020, the confluence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests spurred architecture schools across the nation into sites of sociopolitical action. The students’ capacity to self-organize, articulate the urgent need for changes and demand institutional responses was bold and unapologetic. At stake was a perceived numbness in the curricular structures, classrooms, and syllabi that made universities complicit with the status quo and the ethos guiding academic excellence, inappropriate. At the University of Michigan, student organizing took on a bold stance calling the college to take a position and go beyond words to implement meaningful changes. Design Justice Actions (DJA) brought together students from across degrees in the college to give shape to a manifesto that would turn their many discontents into actionable components. Students used persuasion and imagination, found allies, and built coalitions in and out of the school. Convening not one, but many conversations, students instigated curriculum rethinking, access and representation, the profession, institutional co-governance, and more.

Abstract:
This paper provides specific examples of sustainability education programs within the engineering curriculum at The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor (UM). These programs exist at the undergraduate, Masters, and Ph.D. levels of education. At the undergraduate level, a basic literacy program has been initiated to give each graduating mechanical engineer from UM the understanding required to make design decisions less impacting on the environment. The program is designed as an educational thread consisting of three (3) course modules corresponding to each of three required courses in the Design and Manufacturing sequence in the mechanical engineering department. To compliment the thread, a new joint course between mechanical and environmental engineering in Environmentally Sustainable Engineering is under development to serve as the cornerstone undergraduate course in environmental education for the UM College of Engineering (CoE). At the Masters level, the ConsEnSus (Concentrations in Environmental Sustainability) Program is described. This program has been introduced to enhance general environmental literacy and to prepare students to integrate environmental principles into professional practice. Similarly, a joint Ph.D. program has also been developed between CoE and the School of Natural Resources and the Environment to prepare students for a career in research and education related to sustainable engineering. Both ConsEnSus and the Ph.D. program are supported by a course entitled Principles of Eco-Design and Manufacturing. This course, and the graduate and undergraduate programs it supports, is part of a college-wide effort to make Sustainable Systems Engineering a reality in practice by disseminating operational definitions of sustainability targeted to specific engineering disciplines.

Abstract:
In her study of law schools in the US, sociologist Wendy Leo Moore identifies such academic institutions as hegemonic white spaces. Drawing upon the racist history of the legal system and the legal profession in the US, she shows that law schools are complicit in upholding white supremacist ideologies. In her study, Moore also noted the role that the architecture of law schools played in reproducing racism. In her analysis, she cites classroom seating layouts, symbolism in interior design, and alienating circulation through the building. Scholars of race and space offer powerful theoretical frameworks for understanding space’s role in perpetuating, inflicting, and creating racialized harms. But most do so by considering urban scales of space (e.g. the role of redlining or urban renewal). What is unique about Moore’s study of white spaces is her attention to architectural scales of space. In an effort to deepen this thread of inquiry, in this paper, the authors investigate how members of a university communityexperience white and racist spaces of a predominantly white campus. The authors conducted twenty participant-led go-alongs where participants guide walks through the campus spaces they navigate. Participants reported ways architectural elements such as material, spatial hierarchy, threshold, and framed views perpetuate white supremacy. This research aims to document ways that members of campus communities experience white supremacist architecture. The findings of this project contribute to theorizing ways white supremacy is reproduced at architectural scales of space.

Abstract:
Practitioners, local leaders and agencies in Texas are working together with the undergraduate architecture students at Prairie View A&M University (Historic Black College and University) through a unique service learning program to explore and propose architectural design solutions for the looming push of climate gentrification in historically segregated neighborhoods. Several projects are on the boards to be built as small footprint, scalable, design-build demonstrations. The student designs showcase sustainable building strategies informed through the U.S. Department of Energy, Race to Zero student competition, building science and sustainable building courses, and research of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Fortified Home construction standards. The integrated design studio, Living Lab for Climate Justice, at the School of Architecture, Prairie View A&M University, is rooted in environmental justice and service learning, as a framework for weaving culture, climate and ecology into long-term housing solutions for post-disaster communities facing sustained environmental injustice in the Gulf Coast.

Abstract:
The first idea of design studio as a conventional pedagogical structure of architectural education dates back to 1819 in France as École des Beaux-Arts. Since then, the design studio has been considered a critical element and norm for architectural education and design practice to improve not only “artistic” but also “analytical- structural thinking skills.” However, since March 2020, when governments enforced COVID-19 quarantine restrictions, the entire education system worldwide rapidly transitioned from face-to-face to online instruction. This global pandemic has created a significant pedagogical shift in delivering the traditional design studio instruction through the virtual classroom. While some programs have previously experimented and found success with online education, for most programs, with direct hands-on experiential learning, this transition was a new experience met with uncertainty and anxiety for both faculty and students. This paper highlights the challenges and opportunities of this rapid online transition in architecture education by exam-ining Howard University, a Historically Black College and University (HBCU). This institution has a 5-year architecture program that shifted to online instruction in March 2020 and will remain online through Spring 2021. This study explored related literature through a database search in addition to an extensive survey that targeted the design studio faculty and students. Through this survey, the authors evaluated the faculty and students’ experiences as they navigated the traditional design studio in a virtual world. The survey also explored their perspectives regarding the relationship between an online environment, equity, and the digital divide. As has been widely covered, the health effects of COVID-19 have disproportionately affected people of color. Given this reality, the paper also explores how existing ineq¬uities have the potential to affect architecture students in the transition to the digital world. While the paper outlines the challenges that occurred during this shift, it also highlights opportunities for pedagogical changes in design studios at Howard University (and others) should online or hybrid instruction continue in the future.

Abstract:
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education in K-12 schools is critical to inspire young students and prepare them for future college coursework and careers in science and engineering. An effective mechanism for creating and sustaining successful STEM education is to train well-qualified K-12 teachers with a positive attitude and deep knowledge skills in STEM fields. Supported by the National Science Foundation’s Research Experience for Teachers program (NSF RET), the RET Site at Michigan State University (MSU) aims to build a multidisciplinary engineering research program for middle and high school teachers and their students, within a coherent theme of “Smart Sensors and Sensing Systems”. This paper presents an introduction to the MSU’s Site program and highlights the learning outcomes and achievements of the RET participants. The MSU Site has four main components including authentic research experience for teachers during an intensive summer program; curriculum development by integrating engineering design units into teachers’ courses; professional skill development through seminars, facility tours, and field trips; and finally classroom implementation of the developed curricula. Throughout the 6-week summer program, teacher participants were given the opportunity to work closely with graduate students and engineering professors on current research projects in university laboratories. The teachers’ research activities culminated with a final poster report and oral presentation during a symposium at the end of the summer program. Follow-up classroom visits helped to build a strong connection between local middle/high schools and MSU to smooth students’ transitions to college. Since 2016, the Site has graduated 21 middle and high school teachers from the greater Lansing-Detroit area that serve large populations of minority and female students. These RET teachers have produced over 24 sets of curriculum plans and classroom activities, 3 sets of which have been published by an online digital library, TeachEngineering.org (TE), and 8 sets of which have been accepted by TE. Finally, from the findings of the RET Site, the paper discusses best practices and recommendations for incorporating teachers into a university laboratory setting.
