Hill honored as teacher-scholar;
new Segway part of stipend
Architecture professor Rodney Hill will soon be tooling around campus on a brand new Segway, the unique two-wheel “Personal Transporter,” which along with a $2,000 stipend, he earned as recipient of the 2006 - 2007 Texas A&M University Honors Program Teacher/Scholar Award.
“The Teacher/Scholar Award Committee that selected Rodney was astonished at the sheer number of honors students whom Rodney had taught in formal classes and whom he had inspired with his out-of-class activities,” said Kurt Ritter, associate director of the Office of the Honors Program.
The $2,000 stipend that comes with the award can be used for any purpose that enhances the teacher/scholar’s research or teaching. The Segway is for fun.
“My wife is very excited about the Segway,” Hill said. “I think she might intend to confiscate it.”

Healthcare architecture s tudents unveil designs last fall for proposed Health Science Center on the Texas A&M campus.
Feb. 26 event celebrates 40-years of healthcare architecture, planning
The internationally renowned healthcare architecture and planning initiative at Texas A&M University’s College of Architecture just turned 40 years old, and the college’s Center for Health Systems & Design (CHSD) will mark the occasion with a celebration in San Antonio on Monday, Feb. 26, in conjunction with the International Conference and Exhibition on Health Facility Planning, Design and Construction (PDC).
The Texas A&M architecture program’s focus on healthcare design began in 1967 when Professor George J. Mann introduced what has been described as an especially adept studio to the emerging architectural specialization. In the four decades since, the Texas A&M architecture program has produced a whole new generation of highly nuanced architects who specialize in designing smart, high-tech healthcare facilities that nurture patient recovery while facilitating the numerous, ever-changing demands of modern medicine.

A&M architecture students launch hospital design collaboration with fact-finding trip to Boca Raton, Fla.
Students and faculty from the Texas A&M University’s College of Architecture are cooperating with an international architecture and construction firm, HKS, Inc, to develop innovative, “evidence-based design” solutions for a new hospital in Boca Raton, Fla.
The 37 students, from three separate College of Architecture design studios, traveled to Florida in earlier this month to begin research for their designs proposals. Leading the combined Texas A&M effort are co-project directors George J. Mann, holder of the Skaggs-Sprague Endowed Chair in Health Facilities Design; Susan Rodiek, Ronald L. Skaggs Endowed Professor of Health Facilities Design; Joseph J. McGraw, architecture professor emeritus; and Kirk Hamilton, associate professor of architecture and interim director of the Center for Health Systems and Design.

NSF grant to fund analysis of
city management performance
Michael Neuman, professor of urban planning at the Texas A&M College of Architecture, received a two-year, $124,830 grant from the National Science Foundation to build a “multi-factor performance assessment model” for gauging metropolitan cities’ authoritative performances within large government-funded institutions.
Neuman, working with Franziska Hasselman, a scientist with the Swiss Federal Research Institute WSL, will measure the effectiveness of city management and institutional design, looking for new ways to control problematic factors such as pollution, public health, and global warming.
Neuman said the model will ultimately help lawmakers and other decision makers develop better strategies for improving infrastructure provision.
“Infrastructure is key to making cities and their citizens' lives safer, more productive, healthier, and environmentally sustainable,” Neuman noted. “Wise infrastructure policies also save billions of dollars in larger cities, states and federal agencies. Our findings will also inform controversies around privatization and decentralization, and deepen our understanding of the network society.”
New study abroad fund benefits
construction science students
Students in the Department of Construction Science who want to broaden their horizons by studying abroad may be eligible for a new scholarship.
With a $25,000 gift to the Department of Construction Science, former students Greg Childers and Mike Webb, with matching funds from the Halliburton Foundation, have endowed the Global Construction Excellence Fund, which benefits full-time students interested in studying abroad or other international experiences, such as international internships.

Students present design concepts
for new Twin City Mission facility
Fourteen students from Texas A&M University’s College of Architecture presented their research and design concepts for a new sustainable homeless shelter for Bryan’s Twin City Mission on Feb. 21 at Texas A&M System’s John Connally Office Building.
George Mann, architecture professor and holder of the Skaggs-Sprague Endowed Chair in Health Facilities Design and co-adviser for the project, noted that the project was designed to expose the architectural students to the process and experience of working with actual clients on a real project and on a real site.
“Working on a new design for Twin City Mission has been an incredible project that clearly addresses a pertinent need in the community,” said architecture student Jenny Holzer. “It has been such a privilege to work on a project where we are able to exchange ideas and collaborate in order to come up with a design that might be conducive to the needs of those who come to the homeless shelter.”

Construction science team places
4th in NAHB residential competition
The Texas A&M construction science team placed fourth among the 45 teams participating in the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) Residential Construction Competition held Feb. 7 – 9 at the International Builders Show in Orlando, Fla.
The competition involved putting together a feasibility plan to develop a residential condominium project, consisting of 102 condominiums, in Fairfax, Va. The student teams’ written proposal included a cost estimate, finance and management plan, construction schedule, market analysis and a marketing strategy. The teams presented their projects during the builders show.
Also at the competition, the Texas A&M NAHB Student Chapter placed second nationally in the Student Chapter of the Year competition. The competition is based on the past year’s activities, where each chapter from a national university submits a compilation for review.
Student lensman exhibits work
at juried show in Colorado
Architecture graduate student Igor Kraguljac (pictured above) traveled to Fort Collins, Colorado, to exhibit his photographic images at an art gallery there. Kraguljac's trip was underwritten by the College of Architecture, and he expressed his gratitude for their support by wearing a Texas A&M t-shirt throughout his visit to the gallery.
Kraguljac's work was featured at the juried Fantasy and Fantasies exhibition at the Center of Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins from Jan. 12 through Feb. 17. In addition to the gallery exhibit, his work has been selected for a special exhibit at the Denver airport.
Kraguljac is an international graduate student majoring in visualization studies in the department of architecture at Texas A&M. His photographs have previously been shown in galleries in the United States and Europe.
The Center for Fine Art Photography is a non-profit organization whose mission is to showcase the work of leading and emerging photographers and to educate the public about the collectible value of photographic art. The juror for the Fantasy and Fantasies show is Grace Norman, the center's exhibitions director. Forty-nine photographers from Italy, Israel, Romania, Great Britain, Canada, Ireland and the United States were chosen to display their work at the show.
A semester's worth of work is captured for posterity.
Hill, Vanegas join research
creativity seminar panel
Texas A&M architecture professors Rodney Hill, winner of the 2006 David Tanner Champion of Creativity Award, and Jorge Vanegas, director of the Center for Urban Housing and Development, served as panel members for Feb. 14 Seminar for Creativity and Research. The event, designed to help faculty and advanced graduate students learn to apply creative strategies to their research, was was co-sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Faculties and the Office of the Vice President for Research.
The panel of multi-disciplinary faculty with expertise in creativity offered seminar participants tools to generate ideas for proposals and to formulate strategies for overcoming difficulties throughout the research process.
