Funding And Forming New Interdisciplinary Collaborations: The Development Of Iowa State University's Masters Program In Historic Preservation, Diane Al Shihabi, Mikesch Muecke, Arvid Osterberg

Mikesch Muecke

For the past two years, five departments in ISU’s College of Design collaborated with the University’s Provost, the College’s Dean, Iowa businesses, and Iowa’s Main Street program to visualize and finance an interdisciplinary masters program in Historic Preservation. With the first phase of implementation complete this breakout session reviews a study that examines 1) how university programs in the arts and applied arts can collaborate with regional businesses and existing governmental agencies to secure external funding and 2) the key characteristics and essential strategies of a successful interdisciplinary and cross disciplinary collaboration.

Edible Toledo: Designing For Food Security, Sara Khorshidifard Oct 2017

Edible Toledo: Designing For Food Security, Sara Khorshidifard

Sara Khorshidifard

Imagine America where all ex-decrepit landscapes are food-generator containers. Architectural design can pose such new ways to see, interpret, and transform the built environments. Optimism can subsist amid and beyond the imperfections in urban-rural continuums. Food insecurity epidemics and leftover spaces is a twofold with latent capacities. The American Rust Belt cities are particularly trapped and plagued with many such abandoned, idled
and dormant sites. Trances of possibility are yet to be discovered to turn the former dilapidated zones into vigorous food-productive vessels. These images are bent on alleviating hunger and blight. With optimism, architecture, too, can espouse more meaningfulness, …

A Period Examination Through Contemporary Energy Analysis Of Kevin Roche’S Fine Arts Center At University Of Massachusetts-Amherst, L Carl Fiocchi Jr May 2017

A Period Examination Through Contemporary Energy Analysis Of Kevin Roche’S Fine Arts Center At University Of Massachusetts-Amherst, L Carl Fiocchi Jr

L. Carl Fiocchi

Studies of buildings belonging to a subset of Modernist architecture, Brutalism, have included discussions pertaining to social and architectural history, critical reception, tectonic form and geometry inspirations, material property selections, period technology limitations, and migration of public perceptions. Evaluations of Brutalist buildings’ energy related performances have been restricted to anecdotal observations with particular focus on the building type’s poor thermal performance, a result of the preferred construction method, i.e. monolithic reinforced concrete used as structure, interior finish and exterior finish. A valid criticism, but one that served to dismiss discussion that the possibility of other positive design strategies limiting energy …

Reimagining Lalehzar Street, Sara Khorshidifard Dec 2016

Reimagining Lalehzar Street, Sara Khorshidifard

Sara Khorshidifard

Abandoned buildings are premium assets for reclamation, innovation, and urban growth. Such opportunities
exist in Tehran’s oldest downtown corridor of Lalehzar. Lalehzar was Tehran’s first modern street in the early twentieth century. Toward the middle of the century, Lalehzar became the country’s hub for cinema and theatre goers. This important street today is a dilapidated shopping district that contains Iran’s main retail corridor for electrical appliances. Lalehzar’s decline is mostly a result of its close-down as an entertainment ward between the 1950s and 1970s. The street currently houses numerous rundown, boarded-up, and empty buildings. The jewels of Lalehzar’s buildings are …
