BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF JOB DUTIES
My assigned departmental duties in the School of Architecture involve teaching design studios,
teaching support coursework, creative research, and service. Over the past four years, my teaching
duties were 85% of my assignment, my creative research averaged at 10% of my assignment, and
my service assignment was approximately 5%.
Teaching:
My normal semester teaching load includes two scheduled courses in addition to serving on
Master’s Research Project (MRP) committees and Master’s Thesis committees. I also serve on the
Capstone Project Review committees of students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in
Sustainability and the Built Environment (BSSBE) degree program. I serve as an Honors Thesis
Advisor for fourth-year undergraduate students and have advised University Scholars as well.
Design studios are the core of the School’s pedagogical structure and are heavily weighted in both
credit hours (4-6 per course) and in contact hours (6 hours per week in the first year and 9 hours
per week starting in the second year of undergraduate studios). In the Fall 2011 semester, I was
assigned to teach one section of Architectural Design 7, which was a 6-credit hour teaching
assignment with 9 contact hours per week. In the current Spring 2012 semester, I am teaching
Materials and Methods of Construction II, co-teaching Architectural Design 8, and advising one
graduate student working on his Masters Research Projects. This results in a 9-credit hour
teaching assignment with 10 contact hours (three hours for Materials and Methods of Construction
II, six hours for half of the twelve hours for Architectural Design 8, and one hour for my graduate
student).
Research:
My creative design and research interests center on a fundamental tension between ideas and
matter. I am interested in the material manifestation of ideas and meaning through the making of
multi-dimensional presentations and representations. Materiality in architecture is both the
substance of buildings and the logics through which it is employed. My research focuses on the
translations from ideas and words into built form, and seeks to probe resultant and/or a priori
historical, socio/political, and cultural architectures.
Space is conceived as a full, dense, and thick medium, into and within which slices are made and
obstructions are placed. This full space—fluid, directional, and pressurized—is motivated by
historical and contemporary meanings, metaphor, analogy, and allegory. Architectural intentions
operate within and between these charged vectors, addressing fundamental criteria of
sustainability, use, and occupation while also addressing the more substantive issues of meaning,
memory, and narrative. Architecture is thus conceived as a humanist concern, with the living,
breathing, thinking, and feeling human at its core.
My research into this topic to date has included three principal directions of study: 1) inquiry into
visual constructions as communicative devices, 2) research into teaching methods and pedagogical
structures, and 3) material constructions through critical practice.
My written work on these subjects has been subjected to peer-reviews, presented to peers through
conferences, and included in numerous refereed publications. My research through practice with
Hillier Architecture has been widely disseminated through national and international design
publications.
Service:
My service activities have supported the academic missions of the University of Florida (UF),
College of Design, Construction and Planning (DCP), and the School of Architecture (SOA). In
2011-2012, I have actively served on academic committees to which I have been assigned and/or
2012 Tenure Nominee Packet | Page 1.3

elected, including UF Faculty Senator (AY 2011-2012 through AY 2013-2014), Senate
Representative to the DCP Administrative Council (Fall), DCP Faculty Council, DCP Public
Relations Committee, SOA Archive Committee, SOA Gallery/Exhibits Committee, SOA Faculty
Advisory Committee, SOA Curriculum Committee, SOA Awards Committee, SOA Strategic
Planning/NAAB Prep Committee, and the SOA Sustainability Certificate Committee.
I am the Director of the Gallery/Exhibits/Archive Committee and the Faculty Councilor to the
Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA). I am the Faculty Advisor for UF’s
chapter of the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) and am the Intern Development
Program (IDP) Education Coordinator for the University of Florida and the National Council of
Architectural Review Boards (NCARB).
In previous years, I have served as a UF Commencement Marshall, on the DCP Sustainability
Committee, DCP Commencement Committee, DCP Commencement Marshall, SOA Faculty
Search Committee, SOA Undergraduate Curriculum Committee, SOA Materials and Methods
Committee, and SOA Technology Committee.
Of particular significance is my role as the School of Architecture’s Faculty Councilor to the
Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA). My role includes coordinating the
efforts of our faculty with those of this national organization. I work with the administration of
the School and College to provide ACSA with timely faculty and program-related news updates
which provides national peer recognition. This recognition helps bolster the reputation and
prominence of the School and College as leaders in the field of architectural education.

AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION
My primary area of specialization is architectural design as a process, with an emphasis on liminal
spaces within this process where motivators and materiality intersect. My work and research
engages concepts and detail directly, whether these details are rendered in line, tone, model, or
full-scale constructions. I have developed and continue to pursue a certain degree of
specialization in teaching and pedagogical structures that engage and surround these issues, while
also building bridges between practice and the academy.
A further specialization within this territory is work on non-verbal line- and tone-based visual
constructions deployed throughout the design and documentation processes. Critical in facilitating
the communication and understanding of design, these visual constructions serve as a locus of
place-making and story-telling within the design process. My work considers the residual traces
and imprints that these visual constructions leave on the design process and the architectural
object. I engage socio-cultural, historical, temporal, and sustainable concerns through this work.

TENURE, PERMANENT STATUS, & PROMOTION CRITERIA – Include a copy of the
university tenure and promotion or permanent status criteria, and college and department’s
applicable discipline-specific clarifications of those criteria.
University of Florida Criteria for Tenure, Promotion, and Permanent Status
The university’s criteria for granting tenure, promotion, or permanent status shall be relevant to
the performance of the work that the faculty member has been employed to do and to his/her
performance of the duties and responsibilities expected of a member of the university community.
These criteria recognize three broad categories of academic service as follows:
a.
Teaching – Instruction, including regular classroom teaching and
distance/executive/continuing education, direction of theses and dissertations, academic
advisement, extension education programs, and all preparation for this work, including
study to keep abreast of one’s field.
b.
Research – Research or other creative activity, including peer-reviewed publications.
c.
Service – Public and professional.
University of Florida College of Design, Construction and Planning Criteria for Tenure,
Promotion or Permanent Status
The College ascribes to the traditional goals of higher education: the transmission of knowledge
through teaching, the generation of knowledge through research and creative activity, and the use
of knowledge through service. Every faculty member is required to achieve distinguished
performance in at least two of these three areas and to have good performance in the third.
The academic programs of the College of Design, Construction and Planning must meet the
criteria of the national accrediting agencies represented by each of the professions. The practice of
these professions is regulated by state laws and subject to extensive examination as the legal basis
for practice. The faculty is expected to participate actively within their professional communities.
2012 Tenure Nominee Packet | Page 1.5
BRADLEY WALTERS
The following guidelines are intended to facilitate the tenure and promotion process, to insure that
certain important items are included, to assure consistency with University guidelines, and to
assist the candidate in preparing the strongest case possible.
Teaching
Teaching involves the presentation of knowledge, information, and ideas by various
methods including lecture, discussion, assignment and recitation, demonstration,
laboratory exercise, practical experience, studios, distance learning, web-based courses,
and direct consultation with students, etc. The utilization and effectiveness of each of
these methods, when appropriate, shall be considered. The College values teaching
highly and recognizes that some faculty do much innovative work in teaching. In any
assessment of a candidate for promotion and tenure, both the quality and quantity of the
individual’s achievements in teaching and advising should be evaluated. No one person
can be expected to perform equally well in all tasks, but excellence in teaching is an
essential criterion to appointment or promotion. A recommendation for tenure will not
normally be made unless there is clear documentation of ability and diligence in the
teaching role.
Research and Creative Activity
In the College of Design, Construction and Planning, research and creative activity may
include research in the classical sense of the humanities, natural and social sciences or
engineering, as well as works of fine art, architecture, landscape architecture, interior
design, building construction and urban planning. The important aspect of evaluating
research and creative activity is the quality and quantity of the activity and not the nature
of that activity.
Evidence of a productive and a creative mind is a fundamentally important consideration
for tenure and promotion. A candidate’s work will be assessed for evidence of effective
engagement in research and creative activity of high quality and significance. Research
(funded and independent), scholarly inquiry, or the production of design and studio arts
have equivalent contributions to make with respect to the expansion and application of
knowledge and quality of the instructional programs of the academic units in the College.
The evaluation of a candidate’s research and creative activity should be made by peers
with similar expertise and interests and includes an assessment of the following:
1.
Quality and significance;
2.
Conception and development;
3.
Dissemination in a retrievable format and presentation to the
professional and scholarly community.
Peer review is an essential component of scholarly research and creative activity.
Research or creative activities that are without an appropriate peer review cannot be
accorded weight in evaluating candidates for tenure and promotion.
Service
All faculty members are expected to perform service. Service may be assigned by the
Chair (such as service on committees, departmental administration, etc.) or may be
elective (leadership in professional organizations, service on advisory boards, etc.)
Assigned service must be completed adequately for minimal job performance. Superior
assigned service should be recognized as distinguished achievement. Unassigned service
2012 Tenure Nominee Packet | Page 1.6
BRADLEY WALTERS
is above and beyond the minimal job expectations and should be evaluated as such.
Distinguished service of sufficient high quality and quantity should be recognized as
evidence for promotion and tenure.
University service furthers the mission of the College and the University. Public service
benefits citizens and/or the environment at local to international levels. Professional
service furthers the discipline or profession.
School of Architecture Tenure and Promotion Supplementary Guidelines
III.
Specific Criteria in addition to those included in University and College Guidelines
1.
Practice. The addition of a category of practice is significant in view of the
importance of recognizing scholarships of application and integration that are
central to the field of architecture. This can take several forms that are
important to the teaching, research and service agendas of faculty.
A.
Professional practice and consulting. The process of obtaining
commissions. For significant building projects is a strenuous form of
peer review that is at least as rigorous and competitive as that
encountered in the referee process for review of publications. The
design process is a creative, synthetic process that combines the stateof-the-art in approach, technology, human values and community
service that is exemplary as a mode of inquiry in its discipline and
execution. The products of this process have historical, theoretical,
technological and social significance that places the making of
architecture as one of the primary modes of expression and growth in
cultural histories. Recognition of the importance of the rigorous critical
review of architectural thought that the realm of practice offers as a
form of scholarship is essential to the growth of architecture as a
discipline.
1.
Criteria. Evidence should be provided that documents how
this impacts the teaching, research and service agenda of the
candidate.
a.
Associate Professor and/or Tenure. Continued
involvement as Project Designer or Project Architect
for buildings of significant scale, design, or process
that demonstrates the critical review of clients, peers,
etc.
b.
Professor. As above but with primary responsibility
for projects.
B.
Smaller scale (residential) projects, design competition entries, pro
bono design work and unbuilt design work. The pursuit of scholarship
in architectural design through a series of unbuilt projects, installations,
small scale projects or design competition entries is an important form
of research for some faculty. There is a difficulty in obtaining
recognition for this work as a series of experiments that actually
compose a research agenda because there are few outlets for peer
2012 Tenure Nominee Packet | Page 1.7
BRADLEY WALTERS
review and publication. An intermediate review confirming the
significance of this work is necessary so an equivalent level of rigor is
established relative to others in the university community. One who
publishes a paper in a refereed journal is not required to publish the
best paper in the journal, only a paper. Therefore an equivalent level of
review is necessary for this work for those other that the winners of a
competition for example.
2.
Criteria. Evidence should be provided that documents how
this work impacts the teaching, research and service agenda of
the candidate.
a.
Associate Professor and/or Tenure. Review of
portfolio by an external team selected by the T & P
Committee in conjunction with the faculty person or
publication of work in regional and national ACSA
conferences.
b.
Professor. Published monograph of work, awards,
etc.
C.
2012 Tenure Nominee Packet | Page 1.8
Studio teaching as a formal mode of inquiry and scholarship. In many
fields, graduate students work in the laboratory of faculty person on
projects assigned by the faculty person and executed under the
direction of the faculty person. This learning by doing in a
mentor/student relationship is fundamental to masters and doctoral
education. The intensity of involvement on the part of the faculty
person is recognized throughout the university community. This is the
model used in studio instruction in the Department of Architecture.
The products of this effort are important in establishing the directions
of the curriculum, challenging the ideological base of the faculty and
producing an emerging knowledge base in the field.

Building Bridges
As informational networks bind us ever more tightly together, they also introduce unseen gaps and
fissures within fields of knowledge. While in some cases, these are the product of distraction or
youthful naiveté, they are also symptomatic a field which is expanding both in breadth and depth
through uneven specializations. The resulting disciplinary lacunae are extensive, with students
asked to connect ever more remote points within unsettled and variable terrains. The impossibility
of knowing and/or mapping these territories creates an ambiguous and amorphous field within
which beginning design students are asked to find their way.
At a fundamental level, I believe that teaching is about building bridges with and for our students,
bridges that operate between academic and professional worlds, between disciplines,
between different modes of thinking and making, between scales (global/local and concept/detail),
between hand and digital modes of working, and between and amongst a multiplicity of
cultural/social/economic/sustainable motivators. To be an excellent, innovative, and effective
2012 Tenure Nominee Packet | Page 1.9
BRADLEY WALTERS
teacher requires an understanding of how to make these bridges, and the ability to share that
knowledge with others. It is equal parts knowledge and communication.
My work begins with our students, as complex, emergent people, each motivated in different ways
and pursuing different trajectories, goals, and objectives. They are entering a design profession
which is itself complex and at times contradictory, with no singular way of working within it or
even describing it. The combination of these conditions establishes a variable field, within which
there are many possible solutions to a given design problem.
Studio learning encourages dialogue, collaboration, risk-taking, innovation, learning-by-doing and
the integration of knowledge. This model places a higher value on the search for constructive
strategies of thought and action than on the direct transmission of knowledge and skills.
I believe it is important to teach our students an appreciation for open-ended, speculative thinking
so that they are prepared for a lifetime of practice. And it is important for us to balance this with
carefully-measured, analytic, problem-solving skills that will allow our students to appreciate the
specificity required in their built work.
To the fullest extent possible, I teach by looking through my students’ eyes, seeking to always see
their work both from the perspective of the site/context/discipline and from the perspective of the
student/creator/thinker. I teach by asking questions, and I often draw while talking with and/or
listening to my students. We swap pencils and pens, I navigate their digital projects on-screen,
and together we work to clarify the project’s intent and the specifics of its realization. This
bridging across scales within the work allows students to think about the detail and big idea
simultaneously rather than compartmentalizing information.
In larger-format courses, I seek to understand concurrent curricular obligations and search for
opportunities to cross-reference the subject matter between classes. I engage the students in the
discussion with specific in-lecture examples, video shorts, and case-study images from my own
built work and the work of others.
Specific Accomplishments
I was selected as a 2011 Teacher of the Year for the College of Design, Construction and
Planning. In my first four years at the University of Florida, I have taught undergraduate design
studios at all levels, advised graduate students on their Masters Research Projects and Masters
Theses, taught at the Vicenza Institute of Architecture in Vicenza, Italy, and participated on
reviews at all curricular levels, including undergraduate and graduate studios.
I served as Coordinator for Architectural Design 5 in the Fall 2009 semester and Architectural
Design 7 in the Fall 2010 semester. I re-wrote the curriculum of Materials and Methods I in 2010,
including all-new presentations and exams.
I have served as Chair of Masters Thesis Committees for two students, Chair of Masters Research
Project Committees for thirteen students, Co-chair of Masters Thesis Committees for six students,
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Faculty Advisor for eight students, Faculty Advisor for one student
completing her capstone project for the Bachelor of Science in Sustainability and the Built
Environment degree program, and Advisor for one student completing her research work as a
University Scholar.
Invited Reviewer and/or Jury Member:
One of the most important traditions in architectural design education is the final review of student
work. These reviews are formal events, with each student verbally presenting his or her work to a
jury of faculty and distinguished guests. The role of a guest jury member is to offer fresh input to
2012 Tenure Nominee Packet | Page 1.10
BRADLEY WALTERS
the discussions of the student work. To be invited to serve as a jury member is recognition of
one’s skills as a designer and critic. I have participated on final and intermediate reviews at the
University of Virginia and at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
Invited Guest Lecturer:
Guest lecturers are often invited to present highly specialized knowledge to students within the
framework of a broader course. To be invited to provide these guest lectures is in recognition of
one’s depth of knowledge in the field. I have provided guest lectures at both Princeton University
and the University of Florida.

CONTRIBUTION TO DISCIPLINE/RESEARCH NARRATIVE (ALL FACULTY) – In no
more than 750 words explain your research/creative contribution. Describe briefly the overall
area within which your research/creative program falls and then explain how your publications,
creative work, research projects, grants, fellowships, extension works, etc. reflect your
research/creative program and your achievements. There is no need to cite again specific works
or grants. Simply reference works published, exhibited during certain time periods, or supported
by various sources. Please address the quality of the journals in which you publish and the impact
of your research/creative program.
My research centers on the material manifestation of ideas and meaning through the making of
multi-dimensional presentations and representations. Materiality in architecture is both the
substance of buildings and the logics through which it is employed. My research focuses on the
translations from ideas and words into built form, and seeks to probe resultant and/or a priori
historical, socio/political, and cultural architectures.
My research into this topic to date has included three principal directions of study: 1) inquiry into
visual constructions as communicative devices, 2) research into teaching methods and pedagogical
structures, and 3) material constructions through critical practice.
My research on drawings and visual constructions as communicative devices has been presented at
national conferences and published by the Design Communication Association (DCA). The
Design Communication Association “is an international professional society composed of
2012 Tenure Nominee Packet | Page 1.25
BRADLEY WALTERS
graphics/design teachers from schools of architecture, landscape architecture, interior design,
graphic design, and product design.”1 It is the pre-eminent organization for this type of research.
My work has been identified as amongst the best research conducted in this area, with articles
selected for inclusion in Representations, the refereed Journal of the Design Communication
Association. I have also been asked to serve on the Editorial Board for Representations in 20102011.
My writing on Urban Fabrications was selected as one of the top four papers presented at the
2009 Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA) Southeast Fall Conference, and
was premiated for presentation at the 2010 National ACSA Annual Meeting. Founded in 1912,
the ACSA represents more than 5,000 architectural faculty members, 250 schools of architecture
and design, and 500 supporting architectural firms, product associations, and individuals. It is
composed of educators. The ACSA “provides a forum for ideas on the leading edge of
architectural thought. Issues that will affect the architectural profession in the future are being
examined today in ACSA member schools. The association maintains a variety of activities that
influence, communicate, and record important issues. Such endeavors include scholarly meetings,
workshops, publications, awards and competition programs, support for architectural research,
policy development, and liaison with allied organizations.”2
My work in teaching methods and pedagogical structures has been presented to the National
Conference of the Beginning Design Student (NCBDS) and is presently being developed in
research drafts prepared for the Journal of Architectural Education (JAE). The NCBDS “is a
national peer review scholarly gathering dedicated to the study and practice of beginning design
education. For over 25 years, the NCBDS has provided a forum for design educators to present
papers and projects and hold discussions related to introductory design issues.” 3 The JAE “has
been the primary venue for research and commentary on architectural education since it was
founded in 1947. In 1982 the JAE established a blind-peer-review process, making it the oldest
continuing operating journal of its kind.”4
My research in material constructions and critical practice has been recognized most recently
through an Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) for the Solar Decathlon
Europe project. I was a presenter at the 2010 AIA National Convention, discussing Case Studies
in Affordable + Sustainable Construction. The AIA “has been the leading professional
membership association for licensed architects, emerging professionals, and allied partners since
1857.”5
Excerpts from the BOS House Sketchbook, completed with AWAKE architecture, was displayed at
the Van Alen Institute in New York in June 2009. Van Alen Institute “is an independent nonprofit
architectural organization that promotes inquiry into the processes that shape the design of the
public realm. For over a century, Van Alen Institute has cultivated a fellowship of design
practitioners and scholars, awarded excellence in design, and fostered dialogue about the evolving
role of architecture in the public realm. The Institute’s community of fellows, members,
participants and public audiences is an integral part of that dialogue, shaping and expanding our
definition of ‘public architecture’ and its impact on contemporary civic life.” 6
With Hillier, I co-directed the Special Projects Team, where my work included the House at
Leeside Farm, Abbe Science Center, Becton Dickinson Campus Center, Walker Hall Winery,
Irving Convention Center, and West Windsor Redevelopment Plan, amongst others. This work

CREATIVE WORKS OR ACTIVITIES – Should be listed in reverse chronological order. This
area should be used to list exhibitions, concerts, performances, commissioned works, audio/visual
materials developed, software written, cultivars developed, or other similar creative works in
reverse chronological order. Listings are to include date(s). Published critical reviews of these
creative works should be included in this section. Create a subheading for PowerPoint
presentations, if applicable. Refer to instructional and informational presentations that may be
delivered numerous times as “Instructional Multimedia Presentations” rather than “PowerPoint
Presentations.” Do not list individually, but summarize for each year. Create a subheading for
publications developed in support of web based communication and teaching, such as Webinars, if
applicable.
Prior to joining the faculty at UF, I was actively engaged in architectural practice, working with
RMJM and Hillier Architecture in Princeton, New Jersey. Working initially with J. Robert Hillier,
FAIA and later with Barbara A. Hillier, AIA, we created a small team within the firm highly
focused on design. We functioned much more like an independent boutique office or academic
design studio, carrying our own projects from initial client meetings through concepts, design,
documentation, and construction. As co-director of the team alongside Barbara Hillier, I enjoyed
the opportunity to educate junior staff while exploring architectural possibilities. Past alumni
from our team have since gone on to teach and/or work around the world, in the offices of Frank
Gehry, William McDonough, Asymptote, Richard Meier, Shalom Baranes, Stan Allen, and the
New York and Hong Kong offices of RMJM.
The team’s work has been published extensively and exhibited internationally. In 2008, the
team’s SLIP/SCAPE: Becton Dickinson Campus Center was recognized with an American
Architecture Award by the Chicago Athenaeum and its international jury. The project was
included in an exhibition, “New American Architecture,” at SESV Santa Verdiana in Florence,
Italy in November, 2008. The exhibition and awards presentation was organized by the
Municipality of Florence and the Faculty of Architecture in Florence. The exhibition travelled to
The European Centre’s new Contemporary Art + Architecture Centre in Athens, Greece, and was
included in a national tour of the United States in 2009.
Project work has been recognized by numerous AIA Honor and Merit Awards, as well as an award
from the American Concrete Institute. The team’s work has been published by Architectural
Record, Urbanism and Architecture, A+D, ARQ, Hinge, and Oculus, amongst others, and
exhibited at Le Centre de Montréal des Archives nationales du Québec, in Montréal.
Since joining the faculty at the University of Florida, I have worked with former colleagues to
form a new collaborative practice. AWAKE is an innovative architecture and design partnership
created and led by Jose Atienza, Bradley Walters, and Jennifer Akerman, with offices in
Charlottesville VA, Gainesville FL, and Knoxville TN.
A critical, research-based practice, AWAKE collaborates on diverse projects of multiple scales
and in wide-ranging contexts. The team eschews notions of building type and/or style, instead
recognizing each project as a unique opportunity to realize the latent potential of cultural, social,
and environmental systems and their interactions. Our approach centers on an intimate, hands-on
collaboration with our clients and interdisciplinary design teams. Within constraints we see
opportunity. Within modest means we seek to craft exceptional effect.

Our work recognizes and respects the ecologies of native sites and affected ecosystems. Every
project is shaped in part by a need to create places that both sustain and are sustaining—
architectures that support the body while mediating its effects. And we celebrate a certain fluidity
between these formerly distinct conditions. We believe that good design is good for you.

The SOLAR DECATHLON is a biannual competition organized by the U.S.
Department of Energy for universities from all over the world to design and
build a self-sufficient home, grid-connected, using solar energy as the only
energy source and equipped with technologies that permit maximum energy
efficiency. The final phase of the U.S. Solar Decathlon consists of assembling
the houses on the National Mall in Washington D.C. The houses are then open
to the public, while undergoing the ten contests of the Decathlon, for which the
competition is named. The first of these prestigious competitions took place in

2002, the second in 2005, the third in 2007, and the fourth in 2009, with the
participation of universities from United States of America, Canada and Europe.
Like the US-based Decathlons, the SOLAR DECATHLON EUROPE is an
international competition for universities from all over the world. The aim is to
advance knowledge on industrialized and sustainable homes, with a particular
emphasis on high efficiency and energy self-sufficiency. The final phase of the
Competition was held in Madrid in Summer 2010, and consisted of the assembly
and exhibition of the 15 to 20 houses designed and built by participating
universities.
In response to an open Request for Proposals, faculty from the School of
Architecture and Rinker School of Building Construction collaborated on a
Proposal that was submitted to event organizers for consideration. The
University of Florida College of Design, Construction and Planning was
selected as one of 15-20 teams that participated in the 2010 Solar Decathlon
Europe Competition.
The project was a collaboration amongst a group of faculty from the University
of Florida, working with a student team of more than a hundred students over
the course of two years. The project included participation of faculty and
students from the College of Design, Construction and Planning, the College of
Engineering, the College of Journalism and Communications, and the
Warrington College of Business Administration.

FRSA / Earl Blank Faculty Fellowship: “Materiality and Detail as Precursor and
Provocateur: Designing Metal Roof/Wall Assemblies from the Inside Out”
Effective Dates of the Contract/Grant: 2009-2010
Value: $8,500
Funding Agency: Florida Roofing, Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning
Contractors Association, Inc.
Role of Nominee: Principal Investigator
The rapid ability to move from concept to construct introduces complications at
the scale of the material intersection, and more importantly at the perceptual
scale of occupants. We see this in practice as well as in the academy, where
absent intentionality leads to incomplete and/or incoherent architectures. The

spatial/material detail is left in the margins, an accidental resultant or merely
‘technical’ solution in service of conceptual doodles. The architect needs to be
able to understand and appreciate the value that comes from materials
themselves, not as an appliqué that appears on a rendered form but as a
generative tool early in the design process.
The proposed studio course is designed to expand the conceptual and technical
skills of students through 1:1 physical modeling, testing, and design studies. It
is intended to augment and build on the intensity of the studio culture at the
University of Florida. Offered in the undergraduate fourth year and/or at the
graduate level, the studio will require students to discard prior conceptions of
scalar linearity by asking them to begin with careful consideration of materials
themselves. It will bind together sophisticated conceptual ideas with 1:1
material studies. Within the curriculum, it can offer new ways to conceptualize
larger-scale urban and ex-urban development while simultaneously reconnecting students with the hands-on studies and craft so important in the
lower division. It will bridge the space between school and practice.
This studio will require the students to challenge certain traditional models of
design that proceed from macro to meso to micro, with color and material often
emerging near the end of this lineage. Instead, students will be required to think
first of the micro, immersing themselves in the detail and the physical qualities
of materials before the larger scales are considered. Materiality and the detail
of making become generative tools.

Witters Competition 2009: “Seed House: Affordable Sustainability”
Effective Dates of the Contract/Grant: 2009-2010
Value: $7,500
Funding Agency: College of Design, Construction and Planning
Role of Nominee: Principal Investigator
This competition project focuses on the development of new sustainable
affordable housing prototypes for immediate implementation in east Gainesville
and possible application in other communities.
The intent is to build on the affordable framework employed by Habitat for
Humanity: modest, uncomplicated homes allow for construction by largely
unskilled volunteer construction crews with the assistance of more seasoned
craftsmen and/or contractors. While the organization’s progress is meritorious,
there is an opportunity to further develop the designs of the affordable housing
prototypes developed to date to better address sustainability. By designing for
flexibility, differential sites, change over time, and sustainability, the homes
could reduce life-cycle costs for homeowners and become more stable building
blocks for communities over time.
The 2009 Witters Competition is an opportunity to affect change, to become a
catalyst for renewed ways of thinking, of making, and of living. It is an
opportunity for DCP students to work directly with the people of local
communities to craft sensitive interventions that will respond to economic and
social challenges with environmentally sustainable solutions. It is also an
opportunity to leverage the concurrent design work of the Solar Decathlon
Europe team and raise DCP’s profile for its emergent BSSBE degree program
through direct, hands-on research.
Note: The administration of the College has requested that funding for the 2009
Witters Competition be applied to the Solar Decathlon effort, in lieu of
administering the student design competition as proposed by the nominee.

Concrete Sustainability
Effective Dates of the Contract/Grant: 2009-2011
Value: $140,000
External Funding Agency: Florida Concrete & Products Association (FCPA)
Role of Nominee: Investigator
This is a multi-disciplinary research project to investigate, evaluate, disseminate
and design concrete solutions, as a component of UF’s Program for
Sustainability and a Healthy Environment. The focus of this proposal is to
exhaustively study concrete’s physical properties and potentials in order to
affirm sustainable existing uses, propose new, sustainable uses for existing
products, and, potentially, to invent new products and design applications.
This proposal suggests an ongoing, cyclic, and evolving research program
organized around specific and typically applied research questions. Each
research question will be structured in three phases. In the first phase a
literature review will be used to assemble and evaluate existing research across
all appropriate environmental design disciplines. This research will be
assembled in a searchable database over time. In the second phase new
research and/or design explorations will be conducted with the goal of 1)
deepening existing knowledge, 2) objectively evaluating industry-based and
other studies and/or 3) developing new knowledge or a new application. The
third and final phase will be to disseminate this research through appropriate
scholarly, public and popular means. Research questions with the greatest
potential to improve the environment will be addressed first.
