&nbsp;<br>
Clark died at the age of 72 on August 8, 2017, after a battle with leukemia. A generous patron with deep ties to the School of Architecture, Clark graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1969. He went on to become a valued mentor to students and fellow alumni, including architect&nbsp;<strong>Michael Hsu</strong>&nbsp;[BArch &lsquo;93], and was an active member of the school&rsquo;s Goldsmith Society and Advisory Council. In 2008, he established the<em> Dick Clark Travel Fund </em>for students, and, in 2016, he served on the Dean Search Committee that resulted in the appointment of Dean&nbsp;<strong>Michelle Addington</strong>.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
&ldquo;Dick had always been a committed volunteer and generous benefactor to the School of Architecture. His presence, his influence, and now his legacy touch&nbsp;so&nbsp;many aspects of our program, students, and community,&rdquo; remarked Dean&nbsp;Addington. &ldquo;We are deeply honored to announce two new permanent endowments that Dick envisioned for the school. The first is a legacy scholarship, the <em>Dick Clark III Endowed Scholarship in Architecture</em>, which will provide generous funding that will significantly enhance our ability to recruit, retain, and support future leaders in the field of Architecture. Furthermore, great students need great faculty, and Dick wanted to build upon the school&rsquo;s long history in the excellence of teaching to ensure that we could continue to hire the exceptionally talented designers who shape the education of future generations. In this light, he left a second, very generous gift and communicated his wishes to create the <em>Dick Clark III Chair in Architecture</em>.&rdquo;&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Known for his curiosity and keen observation of human behavior, as well as an insatiable passion for his work, Clark leaves an enduring legacy at The University of Texas at Austin. His contribution marks the eighth endowed chair for the School of Architecture in its 107-year history.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Dean Addington first announced the commitment of these transformative gifts&nbsp;at a tribute event for Clark organized by longtime friend <strong>Sherry Matthews</strong>. The event took place at Austin&rsquo;s Paramount Theatre on October 1, featuring a film screening and surprise performance by Texas legend&nbsp;<strong>Willie Nelson</strong>.<br>

<p style="margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #333f48;font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">UTSOA students are exploring how virtual reality technologies can be used in a variety of forms to better understand space and environment&nbsp;and provide a more immersive perspective throughout the design process. Virtual Information Modeling, based on the Unity Gaming Engine, uses students&#39; Revit design models to create&nbsp;interactive 3D environments that enable&nbsp;free roam of virtual buildings with&nbsp;Gear VR Goggles. All informational data from the Revit model is incorporated, and when users investigate a particular element of the design, relevant information pops into view. Imagine&nbsp;being able to design a building and then step inside of it before it has been built. Students can now experience a similar perspective through VR technology.<br>
<br>
Only recently have virtual reality and augmented reality been recognized as tools to help lower costs, manage data, and encourage collaboration between teams at every stage of the design and build process.&nbsp;UTSOA has been working with Virtual Information Modeling since Spring 2016, showcasing several class projects along the way, one of which was hosted at the AIA convention in Philadelphia.<br>
<br>
On October 4, UTSOA hosted a <em>Goldsmith Talk</em> examining how virtual reality is changing our relationship to the built environment.&nbsp;Experts in Architecture, Film, Computer Science, and Visualization weighed in through four short presentations and a Q&amp;A session. Speakers included <strong>Deepak Chetty</strong>, a cinematographer and lecturer in the Department of Radio-Television-Film, <strong>Tyler Frost</strong>, owner of Frost Visualizations, <strong>Dr. Lili Qiu</strong>, professor in the Department of Computer Science, and UTSOA&#39;s <strong>Rob Stepnoski</strong>, Technology Lab researcher. Following the lecture, participants sampled a series of virtual experiences with VR headsets in the Materials Lab. During the hands-on demonstrations, students were able to try multi-player sculpting games SculptrVR and Tilt Brush by Google with the Austin Virtual League&#39;s <strong>Paul Eckhardt</strong>.<br>

Prior to joining UTSOA, he taught at the Georgia Institute of Technology&#39;s College of Design. Karner studies the fairness and justice implications of transportation projects and plans, and is particularly interested in how local and regional planning agencies comply with federal and state laws and regulations related to civil rights and environmental justice.<br>
<br>
Karner brings with him a significant Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grant for his research project, <em>Multimodal Public Transportation System Connectivity Performance Measures: Developing Transformational Metrics with Community Engagement</em>. The goal of the FTA grant is to create novel methods and tools that public transit agencies can use to assess whether the costs and benefits of planned system changes are equitably shared across the population of transit users. Karner&#39;s work will involve substantial engagement with community-based organizations and transit agencies across the country to ensure that the results are useful for planners and speak to the concerns of disadvantaged populations.&nbsp;<br>

<br>
Visotzky received this honor in&nbsp;recognition of her critical role in helping UTSOA&#39;s Center for Sustainable Development (CSD) pursue and earn sponsorship for projects that improve health, safety, and welfare for communities across Texas and around the world.<br>
<br>
CSD Director <strong>Allan Shearer</strong> remarked, &ldquo;For the last several years, the mission of the Center for Sustainable Development has been to create a culture for conducting sponsored research across the School of Architecture. In operational terms, we have expanded the number of people involved, improved the quality of the proposals submitted, and increased the amount of funding received.&nbsp;&nbsp;These measures of success have been possible because of the efforts made by CSD&#39;s staff, and we are thrilled to see Leora Visotzky receive this well-deserved honor.&rdquo;<br>

Informed by the built environment, Pakradooni&rsquo;s work includes elements of architecture as well as historical references to design, creating imagery that is conversely recognizable and abstract. Her objects extend the two-dimensional format of printmaking into dimensional forms that mirror or respond to shifting observations of physical space. These sculptural forms are surfaced with silkscreen prints of photo-based and handmade patterns, often referencing materials from an urban environment, including stucco, brick, and layers of paint. <a href="https://soa.utexas.edu/events/exhibition-opening-material-level" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #bf5700;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">View more information online</a>.</p>

E.1027 is a modernist villa in France, designed and built from 1926-29 and widely recognized for blurring boundaries between architecture and decoration. The exhibition will feature more than 100 furniture pieces designed by Gray for E.1027&rsquo;s master bedroom, providing an immersive visitor experience. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Recent School of Architecture graduate&nbsp;<strong>Asher Intebi</strong>&nbsp;explored his interest in film photography while pursuing his Bachelor of Architecture, taking advantage of the&nbsp;<a href="https://soa.utexas.edu/resources/visual-resources/darkroom" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #bf5700;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">School of Architecture&#39;s Darkroom</a>&nbsp;managed by the Visual Resources Collection. This project &quot;...stemmed from several factors: a rebellion against the limitless nature of digital photography, a desire to reconnect to an heirloom film camera, and an interest in exploring the various amenities of the School of Architecture,&quot; states Intebi. &quot;Unexpectedly, my film camera grew to become one of the most profound influences on my architectural education at The University of Texas.&quot;</p>

<p style="margin: 10px 0;padding: 0;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #333f48;font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Segoe, sans-serif;font-size: 14px;line-height: 150%;text-align: left;">The photographs on display in this exhibition illustrate Intebi&#39;s interest in composing final prints that recapture the feeling of the initial shot, and, by so doing, demonstrate a spectrum of emotions. He encourages viewers to &quot;...look through the collection with a focus on the depth of the print, weight of the lights and darks, and the candor of the subjects.&quot;</p>
