LETTER FROM THE DEAN Welcome to our summer newsletter. For the past nine years, we have highlighted the work of students, faculty and alumni, and the generosity of supporters. This marks my final edition, as I will return to faculty in a full-time teaching capacity at the end of this academic year.
“BUILDING OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHERS HAS BEEN AN IMPORTANT THEME...THIS EDITION CELEBRATES OUR DONORS, WHO HELPED MAKE THESE OPPORTUNITIES POSSIBLE.”
Building opportunity for others has been an important theme since my arrival. Achieving this goal took substantial philanthropic backing. To recognize this aspect of the school’s progress, this edition celebrates our donors, who helped make these opportunities possible. I hope you will look with pride at the ways we worked together to chart a strong future for the School of Architecture. We surpassed $20 million in donor support since 2008, exceeding the school’s entire prior history of fundraising. It would not have been possible without you and your ongoing commitment.
Our programs have achieved new heights of national recognition and local impact. This past fall, we ranked #14 in the nation in DesignIntelligence and the year before, our graduate architecture program ranked #22 out of roughly 145 U.S. schools. The Preservation and Sustainable Real Estate graduate programs have also flourished, with great leadership, faculty and students. The stories in this newsletter are proof that the Tulane School of Architecture community is building on the long history of design excellence, begun here in 1894, by supporting the work of students and faculty, and developing new avenues of design engagement. The future will see even more success as we look forward to the university-wide Comprehensive Campaign launching publicly later this year. Our overall goal is ambitious, with the Richardson Memorial Hall renovation and addition as the largest individual item. We
are in an excellent position to move this project forward thanks to the foundation you provided. It has been a tremendous honor and privilege to serve as the dean of Tulane School of Architecture. I look forward to my final year in this role, to welcoming a new person into our community a year from now and to the next chapter in the more than 100-year history of this great institution. My role will be different, but I hope to continue to contribute in new ways.

IN FOCUS: Graduate and Undergraduate Architecture Get to know some of the people behind the undergraduate and graduate programs in this Q&A with Emily Parsons and Benjamin J. Smith, PhD. Undergraduate Architecture Emily Parsons, director of undergraduate advising and student affairs, is working with the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) on a historical analysis project to inform future decisions regarding accreditation criteria.
What project are you working on with the NAAB? I am doing a historical review of the Student Performance Criteria (SPC), which are the metrics that NAAB uses to assess architecture programs for accreditation. I’m cataloging the year, category, rank, description, taxonomy, and word count of each individual SPC. These variables then allow me to pull comparison data, spot trends, analyze percentage distributions, and visually map out the evolution of NAAB accreditation.
Why is accreditation important for undergraduate programs? Accreditation provides a means of external review to ensure architecture programs are providing a quality education to their students. This process relies on peer review of student work to demonstrate that the program is educating students to a level that is sufficient for practice, continuing education, and eventual licensure. Accreditation provides a framework for educators and students to gauge their performance and metrics for evaluation. What is your favorite part of working with students? It’s hard to say! Maybe my favorite part is watching them grow and become better people. Seeing how they struggle and overcome, work their way around obstacles and succeed. It is amazing to see the changes in students’ personalities, not just work, over the course of their time here.
Graduate Architecture
Benjamin Smith, PhD, is the recently appointed director of graduate architecture. Below he shares his passion for architecture and architectural education.
How long have you been at Tulane? What drew you to the school? I have been at Tulane University for one year. My draw to Tulane was simple—a first rate research university in a vibrant city. After visiting the school, the strengths of which I was already aware were exceeded by the people I met. Getting to know colleagues and students this past year has been a gift. What do you think are the greatest strengths of the graduate program? At the core of Tulane School of Architecture is its commitment to design excellence and social responsibility. Being directly tied to that mission, the graduate program benefits from having diverse options to engage those topics. With studio, seminar, and lecture courses that bridge intellectual, technical, social, and physical areas, our graduate students examine architecture by understanding its discipline and its
2
consequence. To impact culture in positive ways, our students use architecture to ask challenging questions and deliver powerful solutions—whether that be an exciting statement in visualization, a design build project that serves the New Orleans community, or an Options Studio exploring alternative strategies in sustainable building practices, among many others. Why did you choose architecture as a profession? What excites you about the field? After completing my B.A. in English and art as an undergraduate, I discovered architecture in my early 20s in a summer representation course that studied John Soane and Joseph Gandy’s Bank of England drawing and Piranesi’s Carceri series. These drawings, one which projected the future ruination of the unbuilt Bank of England and the other which demonstrated impossible geometric environments existing within the imaginative medium of the drawn page, revealed the amazing ability of architecture to reflect culture through its artifacts of production. What excites me about architecture is how its various formats of expression establish a robust field. A successful coupling of the luxury of freedom with the responsibility of hard work—rendering architecture’s understanding of context, methods of investigation, and assertion of value—makes anything possible.
RICHARDSON MEMORIAL HALL RENOVATION The Richardson Memorial Hall renovation project is on hold while Tulane University works toward a balanced budget model and priority assessment process. The School of Architecture continues to catalog and develop improvements to learning spaces that can be implemented during renovation. The Resources Advisory Committee spent the 2016-2017 academic year surveying the school community for input and working with furniture designers to create new desks for the evolving student needs in Richardson Memorial Hall’s spacious design studios. Designed and built by Milder Office, the new desks offer three-level storage, replaceable cutting mat work surfaces, Forbo pinup surfaces, and in-desk power outlets. Made possible through Richardson Memorial Hall building funds and generous donor contributions, students will put the desks to use this fall. The Resources Advisory Committee led a similar process in the 2015-2016 year to obtain new task chairs for all five studios. The new desks and chairs are a much-needed refresh to the design studios and will continue to be utilized following the anticipated building renovation.
PROGRAM DIGEST Preservation Studies Program
Taylor Center & SISE Minor
2017 marks the 20th anniversary of the Master of Preservation Studies program. Launched in 1997 by founding Director and Professor Emeritus Eugene D. Cizek, PhD, the master’s program grew out of his dedication to preservation education, practice, and advocacy. The program continues to grow under the leadership of current Director of Preservation Studies and Christovich Senior Professor of Practice John H. Stubbs. More than 160 professionals and stakeholders attended the fourth biennial Preservation Matters symposium, “Preservation Pays: How everyone benefits,” held in October. Look for the next symposium in the fall of 2018. Find the current MPS newsletter at issuu.com/tulanearch.
The Phyllis M. Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking and the Social Innovation & Social Entrepreneurship minor continue to bring inspiring talent to campus. In July, Taylor welcomed urban designer Aron Chang as a Taylor visiting scholar. An architect by training, he is currently project co-director of Ripple Effect, a non-profit organization promoting design and environmental awareness through youth education in New Orleans. In addition to engaging in Taylor programs, Chang will lead design and seminar courses at the School of Architecture as adjunct lecturer. The Taylor Center will begin the fall semester in its new location on the fourth floor of Howard-Tilton Library. Learn more about upcoming events, the SISE minor, and the Taylor scholars online at taylor.tulane.edu.
Outreach Programs TRUDC Led by founding Director and Adjunct Professor Grover Mouton, the Tulane Regional Urban Design Center is the urban design branch of the school’s regional outreach. The longestrunning outreach program, TRUDC hosted its 11th Regional Session of the Mayors’ Institute on City Design (MICD South) in December. 2
MSRED The Master of Sustainable Real Estate Development program offers a graduate master’s degree and minor that prepares students to compete professionally in real estate finance, design, and development. Last October, MSRED traveled to Dallas for the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Fall Meeting. MSRED students attended conference sessions and toured important development projects in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, including projects developed by HRI Properties, headquartered in New Orleans. MSRED will travel to Los Angeles this fall for the ULI Fall Meeting. Find the current MSRED newsletter at issuu. com/tulanearch.

DEVELOPMENT NEWS Public Interest Design Fellows Architecture is often thought of as drawing, designing blueprints, and building models. The Public Interest Design Fellowship demonstrates that architects can use these skills to have a meaningful impact in the community. Hosted by the Albert and Tina Small Center for Collaborative Design, the fellowship nurtures young designers with an interest in serving local communities over an eight-week period. The opportunity is open to Tulane School of Architecture undergraduate and graduate students. Fellows receive an introduction to community engagement as an integral part of a public interest design process by working in teams on real world issues with local organizations. Small Center fellows have partnered with many groups, including HousingNOLA, the New Orleans Lead Water Study, the Recovery School District, and the Greater New Orleans Fair Housing Action Center on projects throughout the city.
collaboration with our partners, they design and implement solutions to these everyday issues.” The first named fellowship was created in 2011 by the Sizeler family. In 2017, both Eskew+Dumez+Ripple and Morris Adjmi each created an additional named fellowship, allowing the Small Center to extend this opportunity to six dedicated students. “The public interest work that is done at the Small Center is all made possible through the support of many donors and foundations that understand the importance of working in dialogue with knowledgeable partners on the ground,” said Hansen. “We could not do this without their generosity.” For additional information on the fellowship, the fellows, and their work, visit small.tulane.edu.

ANN AND FRANK MASSON GRADUATE RESEARCH TRAVEL ENDOWED FUND Although they worked on two different ends of architectural preservation, Ann and Frank Masson (TSA’71) shared a common bond—their love for preserving and sharing history with people. The couple lived together in a Creole Cottage constructed in 1804, the preservation of which became a passion project. Together, they worked to make sure the home stayed true to its original spirit. “When we found our home, we knew that it was the perfect one for us to find,” said Ann Masson. “We both thoroughly enjoyed 18th and 19th century architecture, and since New Orleans is influenced by so many cultures, it combined all of our favorite styles into one perfect place.” Frank, a Tulane School of Architecture graduate, passed away in 2008. He is remembered as one of New Orleans’ foremost preservation architects. He served on the board of Longue Vue House and Gardens, as a trustee of the Louisiana Landmarks Society, on the executive committee of the Preservation Resource Center, and as president of Friends of the Cabildo. He was the recipient of more than two dozen awards from the Vieux Carré Commission and several awards from the Historic District Landmarks Commission and the Louisiana Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. A Newcomb College alumna with a master’s degree in Art History, Ann taught a two-semester graduate course on the history of American architecture at the architecture school for nearly a dozen years. “It was really important for me to connect with the students and have them not just see buildings as just buildings or how they were built, but a manifestation of the designers’ thoughts, the degree of wealth, what materials were available, how they adapted to the climate in that area, etc.,” said Ann. “It is truly remarkable how many different types of buildings you can access in New Orleans. I thought it was great to help the
students understand how the buildings came to be and how they have been housed, protected and sheltered over all these generations of settlers and citizens.” During her time teaching at Tulane, she reflected on their love of traveling and experiencing the different cultures and styles of the world. But she also recognized that many students do not have this opportunity.
Giving Since 2008 All Gifts and Pledges from July 1, 2008–June 30, 2017.
“It seemed to me that a lot of students did not have the resources to pursue an independent topic that they were interested in,” said Ann. “Traveling and seeing the buildings in person is so important to understanding architecture and the practice of preserving the past and to seeing how the past has influenced American architecture.”

$2,232,695 Average per year
2,051 With this vision in mind, Ann created the Ann and Frank Masson Graduate Research Travel Endowed Fund to support scholarly travel for one or more graduate students in their fourth year of study in an architecture program at the Tulane School of Architecture. As Ann and Frank shared their own experiences of preservation practice with students in the classroom, recipients of the fellowship will share their experiences with a wider audience through the school’s student travel fellowship lecture series, articles, exhibits, and other media outlets. “I thought it would be great to do something in both of our names and to give students the opportunity to explore some terrific idea that they have,” said Ann. “I feel really privileged to be able to do this. The university has been a part of my life for nearly 50 years, and I admire the friends and education that I received there. All of the really great things that I received are from Tulane, so I wanted to do something really great for them.”

Elizabeth Burns Gamard 1958-2017 Tulane School of Architecture Professor Emerita Elizabeth Burns Gamard passed away on June 26, 2017 at her home in New Lebanon, New York of natural causes. Elizabeth was an integral part of the Tulane School of Architecture during her 17year tenure. She influenced the lives of countless students while serving in the roles of associate professor and associate dean. Upon retirement in 2014, she was granted emerita status. An accomplished educator and scholar, Elizabeth received numerous teaching accolades during her career. She also published multiple works, including, Kurt Schwitters’ Merzbau: The Cathedral of Erotic Misery. She was a proud alumna of Yale University and taught at several schools of architecture throughout her academic career.

“Throughout her various roles as student, colleague, professor, dean, and mentor, Elizabeth possessed an incredible ability to understand and connect with people. She was a guiding light and a champion for many students at the Tulane School of Architecture. As an educator, she made the study of architecture more interesting, meaningful, and inspiring. She taught her students to be ‘painterly,’ to think poetically, and to accept the beautiful messiness of life. For many of us, her insight and intuition helped us to understand our own selves better; she was that rare mentor who not only guides, but helps us see what we are capable of becoming. She was a free spirit, a brilliant thinker, and a tireless advocate. She marched to the beat of her own drum, but in doing so she awoke an army of passionate, critical, and creative human beings who strive to make the world a better place. She was greatly loved and will be missed.” Gaugler is currently a doctoral candidate at the College for Environmental Design at the University of California, Berkeley.
The Tulane School of Architecture is currently working with alumni to establish a student fellowship in Elizabeth’s memory. This fellowship will support travel and research on the connection between architecture and the arts. If you would like to receive further information, please email gamardmemorialtsa@gmail.com
