Professors visit UO
to teach architecture
■Two visiting professors
lead classes at the University’s
AAA school to discuss design
and work by Pietro Belluschi
By LaBree Shide
Oregon Daily Emerald
Oregon architect Pietro Belluschi
was fundamental to the development
of a very particular mid-century
modernism, said Brian Carter at the
public lecture “Material Culture” on
Friday in Lawrence Hall. Carter and
Annette LeCuyer discussed Bel
luschi’s theories and the connection
between design research and current
architectural practices.
Carter and LeCuyer, architecture
professors from the University of
Michigan, share the 2002 Pietro Bel
luschi Distinguished Visiting Pro
fessors appointment on campus at
the School of Architecture and Al
lied Arts.
“The continuation of these pub
lic lectures enables us to appreciate
the quality of architecture as it is
practiced,” architecture department
head Michael Fifield said.
As part of the program, the pair
teach two University classes. Carter
said he has enjoyed his time at the
University.
“It has been very jolly teaching
here,” Carter said.
Carter and LeCuyer lead a design
studio and a seminar. Both courses
focus on the integration of design
and its structure, environmental
systems and the materials used to
build such structures.
Fifield said the architecture pro
gram has benefited from Carter and
LeCuyer being at the University.
“The emphasis of both the studio
and the seminar on the integration
of the building systems within the
overall design strategy has been of
great value to not only the students
but also to the overall goals and ob
jectives of our program.”
The Friday talk was an extension
of the classes, and Carter said he
had specific goals for the lecture.
“What we wanted to do with the
lecture was to try to connect the work
of Belluschi to the development of
mid-century modernism in America,
and also to talk about that in relation
to very recent work in America. ”
One of the goals of the lecture and
the classes was to connect Belluschi
to students’ current projects.
“One of the really inspiring as
pects of his work was the connec
tion between teaching and practice.
Belluschi was very involved in both
of those things,” Carter said.
Carter and LeCuyer wanted the
information presented at the lecture
to be used in real projects. “If archi
tects now embrace the operational
thoroughness, pushing the limits to
discover what’s possible, and to be
integrating thinking and making,
then architecture can move beyond
functional and technical impeni
tence,” LeCuyer said. “It is a very
exciting time to be an architect. ”
Nandita, a graduate student in in
terior architecture who attended the
lecture, said, “They are able to talk
about the big ideas and bring in
things about students finishing
their final projects.”
