A MESSAGE FROMTHE DIRECTOR

In the spring semester of 2012, the School of Architecture received a$5,000 grant from the Brick Industry Association in order to provide extra-curricular support, and student travel awards, for a Third Year Design StudioCompetition. This particular studio is specifically focused on the tectonicand systems aspects of buildings. This is the second year in a row that theSchool of Architecture has received generous funding from the Brick IndustryAssociation. We truly owe our sincere thanks for this inventive collaborationto Nathan Moore, Development Officer for the College of Architecture, Art

+ Design, and Jewel Warlick, Director of Marketing for the Brick IndustryAssociation in the Southeast Region. It only came to pass as a result of theirguidance and persistence.

The office of the Director would also like to thank the Third Year faculty,Professor Alexis Gregory and Professor Hans Herrmann, for their leadershipand inventiveness in developing and leveraging these funds in order to providethe students with both a memorable and a highly educational experience. Thistype of industry support for a capstone studio has significant effects on raisingthe bar and expectations of our students. It provides overt opportunities toengage with industry and architects around the region, ultimately having aprofound impact on the education of these young designers.

In closing, the School of Architecture truly appreciates the external supportand encouragement of our alums, friends, and industry partners. Increasingly,we have come to depend on you in order to continue to deliver theseextraordinary educational opportunities to our students, and to have vehicles

such as this monograph to celebrate their stellar work products.

PROJECT

DESCRIPTIONThe project calls for the development of a Culinary Arts School with anemphasis on generating thoughtful designs and taking these designsto a detailed level of completion. The project is to be approached withinnovation in both building materials and systems while still holding

to an overall design concept. Designs should also respond to theirregional influences, cultural influences, and climate influences. Alldesigns should also acknowledge a responsibility for both social andenvironmental influences. Projects must also show a reduced relianceon non-renewable resources.

The program calls for teaching facilities in the form of demonstrationlabs, teaching kitchens, classrooms, and lecture halls, along with support

areas for such spaces. The school is also to house administrative spacesand a career service area to support faculty and students. The studentswho attend will serve as the workers in a restaurant and a bake shop,both of which are open to the public.

FIELD TRIP

The main purpose of the trip to Memphis was to visit the location for

the project and to learn more about the city itself. The site visit includedmeasuring and photographing the site, and gathering information onpedestrian traffic, vehicular traffic, and local restaurants. Along withanalyzing the immediate site, we also noted the building contextsurrounding the site, which would eventually influence the design of ourbuildings.

FIELD TRIP

The Bennie G. Thompson Academic & Civil Rights Research Center,

the first academic building built on the Tougaloo College Campus since1959, was the first building project to advance the goals of the newmaster plan. The new building sits south of the historic Robert O. WilderMansion and formally frames the campus center space, a rolling lawn of pedestrian pathways and broad, mature cedars and oaks. The historicWoodworth Chapel sits across the green and marks the center of thecampus. The massing, materials and grain of the building respect thecharacter of the campus while the details and arrangement of inner and

outer spaces promote individual inquiry. The building is designed to beboth vernacular and progressive.

The building is organized to embody Tougaloo College’s educationalmission by entangling students, faculty, art, visitors and campus leadersin cross-disciplinary educational environments. In addition to the formaleducational environments, there are many nooks and pauses in thebuilding for students to meet and talk and for faculty and students to

gather and exchange ideas. Each space in and around the building hasmultiple horizons between and beyond them to encourage individualinquiry and growth. Each wing is connected by compressed thresholdsconstructed of aluminum walls with images of important AfricanAmerican Civil Rights events and figures. These thresholds palpablyembody a sense of the movement from oppression to freedom andpromote pause and reflection in the daily habitation of the building.
