From the Dean
Thank you!
Were half way through our hundredth year! Theres lots to talk about.
Lets start with the faculty, the backbone of any academic enterprise. We are in the final
phase of recruiting two stellar Centennial Professors, whom we will introduce to you
in the next issue. In addition, Chris Nelson, a nationally known scholar on land use and
real estate development, will join us in September 2007 as professor of urban planning
I am happy to report that we have received the go ahead from the administration to do
preliminary studies and conceptual design for a possible expansion of our facilities on
the roof to accommodate our larger enrollment and faculty. (photo on the following
page of program chairs and me, lunching alfresco with Provost Teresa Sullivan where
we hope to build on the roof.) The project to move the Lorch Column from its location
behind the former Art & Design building on Central Campus to a new home in front of our
building is proceeding apace, although construction is being delayed until classes end in
spring 2007. Were in the process of upgrading our classrooms and four student lounges,
waterproofing leaky foundation walls, and will be resurfacing the Art + Architecture
building courtyard. Over the last eight years, the college has spent $2.7 million upgrading
the building, plus another $1 million from the University. (As you can see, the college is
essentially a ship on its own bottom when it comes to capital expenditures, which is why
we will need to fundraise for the proposed addition.)
On the celebratory front, there are centennial banners, two films, a gala dinner, several
exhibits, and a pictorial booklet on the colleges history (which you should have received
in the mail by now. If youd like a dvd of the 20-minute history of the college narrated by
Cory Flintoff, please email tcaup100@umich.edu.) The University is hooding Ada Louise
Huxtable, the countrys first and most decorated architectural journalist, with an honor-
ary doctoral degree this month. By the way, thank you to over 450 alumni from seven
decades, 36 states, and six continents who have submitted their 8.5 x 5.5 postcards for
the current exhibit. Come see all this work and other exhibits!
My thanks go out to the faculty and staff who have worked so hard to make this a special
year of remembering our past, celebrating the moment, and envisioning our future.
A long look in the mirror, taking stock, rethinking our structure, and staking out our goals is hard work. But its also
satisfying and exhilarating to reflect on our illustrious past, present strengths, and future possibilities.
I also want to acknowledge my immediate predecessors, Deans Emeriti Bob Metcalf and Bob Beckley, who between
them led the college for over a fifth of its first centuryyears 69 through 97. (This is, hard to believe, my ninth year as
dean.) They were honored at our gala dinner by the Alumni Board of Governors, who also deserve thanks for coming to
campus (at their own expense) twice a year to provide their professional perspectives and advice on architecture and
urban planning.
In this annual thank you issue of Portico, the biggest gratitude is reserved for our donorsthe thousand or more of you
who donate your wisdom, work, and wealth to the college. Annual giving broke the previous record, as well as top a
million dollars for the third straight year. This generosity, as always, makes a difference in both the everyday lives and long
term aspirations of our faculty and students. Alan and Cynthia Berkshires Centennial Travel Fund (see page 21 to learn
more about this fund and its centennial challenge) inspired me to help 63 of our undergraduate and graduate students visit
Venice and the trail-blazing show on architecture and the city at the 10th Architecture Biennale this fall. Gifts from Dan
Swartz, B.Arch.71 and Hank Ruifrok, B.S.A.A.38, as well as David and Connie Osler, have been instrumental in the Lorch
Column project. (Connie is Dean Lorchs daughter, and the lead designer Peter Osler, an associate professor of practice in
architecture, is his grandson!) We still need your financial assistance on this costly project to not only move the column to
North Campus but to restore it to its original 55 height, as shown on the previous page.
For the first time in 2005, scholarships bearing the names of Hoeltzel, Marans, Tobin, and White were awarded. Speaking
of financial aid to students, President Coleman has recently announced a one-to-one match for need-based undergradu-
ate scholarship gifts and endowments. You can establish an endowment in your (or someone elses) name for as little as
$25,000. Mitch Ketai, B.Arch.50, and Tower Pinkster Titus Associates have already taken advantage of this limited time
offer. The Presidents Challenge will also match dollar for dollar a gift of any size to undergraduate need-based financial
aid, an offer that may appeal to younger graduates who have been thinking about donating. Others of you contributed to
the College Enrichment Fund, which underwrites all manner of faculty and student initiatives and enhancements (such
as the college lecture series and symposia). Still others have given their time to various efforts within or on behalf of our
academic programs.
Over the last 100 years, the college has earned a reputation as one of the finest schools of architecture and urban
planning in the nation and the world. We were the first to conduct architectural research (the Architecture Research
Lab started in the 1940s), one of the first to have a
doctoral program in architecture (1969), and a pioneer
in many other areas of teaching, research, and service.

TCAUP@100
As part of the colleges centennial celebration, our first conference Rewind<<Pause>>Forward:
Taking Stock at 100, was held November 24 with a full house of faculty and students in the Art
+ Architecture Building auditorium. We marked this hundredth anniversary by pausing from our
breathless schedules to listen to each other tell who we are, what we believe, what were doing, and
why. The event followed several weeks on the heels of the first centennial event, a two day faculty
retreat off-site, in which we dissected and discussed the state of the college and its programs, as
well as strategies for its future, as we enter our second century.
<<Pause>> featured an opening panel on Thursday evening and four provocative, cross-disciplinary
sessions on Friday and Saturday. It showcased the personal reflections of twenty-seven faculty
members, who presented and discussed their scholarly, research and professional work. The
sessions brought together faculty who might not ordinarily share a podium; we discovered some
overlaps, uncovered some oppositions, and built some bridges.
To moderate these sessions we invited four leading scholarsMichael Benedikt from the University
of Texas, Hema Dandekar from Arizona State University, Sheila Kennedy from Boston, and Lars
Lerup from Rice University. They have all taught at the college either as visiting or permanent faculty
and were nimble moderators and counterpointselaborating, probing, humoring, confronting, and
extending our discussion.
We spoke about the quality of the environments we create; about issues of equity and sustainability;
about technology, beauty, space, place, and culture; about imagining futures and confronting future
realities.
To paraphrase Sheila Kennedy: the event completely exhausted our ability to document it or com-
prehend itwe are at the end of our sketch book. By looking inwards, we looked outwards. The
event was considered by attendees to have been a successful attempt to get to know each other
and each others work, an exchange that can not be taken for granted in our increasingly fast-paced
academic culture. We now have an opportunity to open up a new space of collaboration.

Shen Milsom Wilke Endowment Fund
The Shen Milsom Wilke Endowment Fund has been established in celebration of the firms 20th anniversary.
This endowment will support faculty or student research in building technologies.
Founded in 1986 by Denis Milsom and Fred T. Shen, BSEAS66, and expanded shortly thereafter with the addition of Hubert Wilke,
the firm currently has 140 employees with 11 offices worldwide. It provides consulting, design, and technical expertise in the
following disciplines: multimedia/audiovisual; information technology and telecommunications; building security; and acoustics.
Working with architects of international distinction, the firms expertise in convergence, the intersections between data applica-
tions and telecommunication systems, is recognized worldwide.
The firm recognizes that select architecture faculty and students can advance the field, and that students need to understand
the important role that advanced technologies are playing in the design of all building types. In identifying projects for support,
priority will be given to research on the inclusion and integration of telecommunications, information technology, media, security
and systems controls in buildings. In addition to providing support for students or faculty, the income may also be used to
purchase equipment, hardware or software that will support the education of architecture students as it relates to the integration
of technology within buildings.
Campaign Advisory Committee is composed Real Estate Advisory Committee convenes from time to time to discuss
