Architecture Research and Design Center (ARDC) facilitates and coordinates research, scholarship and design

activities within the College of Architecture (CoA). It assists faculty and students in their

research/scholarship/creative endeavors, serves as a liaison to other research centers and institutes, and

provides architectural/research services to the public.

The ARDC is headed by the associate dean for research of CoA, and has two staff members. Physical resources

include a fully equipped conference room and space for four research assistants. It also offers high definition

laser scanning equipment, ground penetrating radar, and a virtual reality projection system, among others.

ARDC showcases faculty research, scholarship, and creative activities and houses a permanent exhibition of

faculty productions. A list of faculty expertise is also available.

In the academic year 2011-2012, ARDC hosted the CoA Symposium ‘Re-Presentations’ in addition to two others

in the college; ‘Topological Urbanism’, and ‘Cultural Heritage Symposium’. CoA faculty and students have 18 full

papers either published or accepted, lectured in 40 national and international venues, and displayed their

creative work in 25 exhibitions. As a group, CoA faculty have submitted grant proposals worth more than half a

million dollars. Additionally, they have served as peer reviewers of journal articles and books, panelists,

nominators and editors. Full details of their research related activities are presented in the following pages.

EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE IN THE ARDC

3D Laser Scanner(s)

Leica HDS 3000 is a high definition laser scanner for the documentation of communities, historical architecture and archaeology. Uses include the collection of 3D point cloud data for historical structures documentation such as the Statue of Liberty and high definition documentation of archaeological sites such as Mesa Verde National Park.

Leica Scan Station C10 is an upgrade to the HDS 3000. This equipment includes the functionality of an

optical total station which allows users to traverse, resection or use scan targets for maximum flexibility in dealing with site logistics. It also conducts general 360º and focused areas scans faster, can be setup & moved faster, lets users locate targets, register & geo-reference faster, and lets users check scan results faster.

Global Positioning System (GPS) Survey Equipment

Trimble survey grade GPS is for site and structure documentation. Uses include positioning data set for inclusion into Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and surveying of architectural and archaeological sites. This is usually used in conjunction with the 3D laser scanner (Leica HDS 3000) on documentation projects to give survey co-ordinates to the point cloud data gathered by the scanner.

Optical Total Station (Survey Equipment)

This Leica survey instrument is for the documentation of architecture and communities. Uses include establishing control grids for the documentation of architecture, communities and archaeology. This is typically used in conjunction with the GPS survey equipment in our historical documentation projects.

Creaform Handheld 3D Scanner

The Creaform handheld 3D Scanner is a portable, high resolution (sub-millimeter) scanner. Uses include 3D scanning of existing objects, 3D archiving, complex shape acquisition, measurements archiving, digital models and mock-ups and rapid prototyping.

FLIR Infrared Camera

The FLIR Infrared Camera captures images in the infrared spectrum allowing the user to detect the difference in temperature between an area and its surroundings. The FLIR infrared camera is an excellent, non-contact, tool for Building Diagnostics, Energy Audits, Moisture Detection, and Restoration & Remediation.

Ground Penetrating Radar

The ground penetrating radar system uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. GPR can be used in a variety of media, including rock, soil, ice, fresh water, pavements and structures. It can detect objects, changes in material, and voids and cracks. Applications include nondestructive testing (NDT) of structures and pavements, locating buried structures and utility lines, and studying soils and bedrock. In environmental remediation, GPR is used to define landfills, contaminant plumes, and other remediation sites.
