Welcome from the Dean
As in previous years, our 2012 CAP Alumni Symposium stands in testimony of our vocation to build a
community of knowledge that bridges over graduation formalities and acknowledges that we are all
perpetual learners. The CAP Alumni Symposium seeks to provide a forum through which our faculty,
students, and former students can benefit from the wealth of professional experience that our alumni
can provide.
In the spring of next year we will be graduating a group of talented alumni that need to be able to hit
the ground running and be competitive in a job market that continues to be extremely selective. At the
same time, our freshman class will be describing a trajectory of four to six years before they hit the job
market and it is our responsibility to envision which are the knowledge and the skills that they will need
to be competitive.
In simple terms, we are confronted with the daunting task of addressing simultaneously the challenges
of today and the opportunities of tomorrow. The wisdom of our alumni is mission critical in making
sure that The CAP Family continues to perform at the top of its game.
In our last [recap] newsletter we celebrated the large number of leaders that our college has nurtured.
In their generosity they have given credit to our faculty, our staff, and the many learning opportunities
that our college is able to provide. One learning opportunity that I would like to highlight is the
example provided by our alumni. The role models afforded by our alumni are powerful road maps that
our students will enthusiastically follow.
In our 2012 CAP Alumni Symposium we will have plenary sessions delivered by our 2012 Distinguished
Alumnus, Robert Miller, and our Outstanding Alumni Zachary Benedict, Glenn Harper, and Spero
Valvanis. In the afternoon we will have parallel sessions addressing presentations and discussions on a
wide variety of subjects. In the afternoon we will also provide our alumni with wonderful opportunities
to “draw and brush” on their graphic communication skills under the mentorship of Professor Emeritus
Tony Costello and Paul Laseau.
Please join us in celebrating our alumni.

Robert Miller
Enabling Innovative Design
Robert Miller, FAIA,
RAIC, LEED AP
2012 Distinguished
Alumnus Award
BArch, Ball State
University, 1988
Robert E. Miller is a
principal at Bohlin
Cywinski Jackson in
Seattle. He holds
multiple professional
recognitions.
Most recently he was
elected to the
American Institute of
Architects (AIA) College
of Fellows.
Miller lead the project
team for the
Ballard Library and
Neighborhood Service
Center in Seattle, which
has garnered a number
of important design
awards including the AIA
National Honor Award
and the AIA Committee
on the Environment’s
Top Ten Green Projects
for 2006.
Miller also designed a
line of “green” furniture
for the Ballard Library.
His designs, which
were submitted for
patent, were released
for manufacturing and
public sales. Early in
2008, the furniture was
featured in an exhibit
at the Portland Museum
of Art in Maine.

Robert Miller noted a shared philosophy and
joined Bohlin Cywinski Jackson immediately
upon his graduation from BSUCAP in
1988. Starting in Pennsylvania, Robert
soon relocated to participate in the firm’s
successful entry in the Gates Residence
competition, Miller opted to stay in Seattle
after the project’s completion in 1995.
Under his leadership, the Seattle based
competition field house was re-established
as the firm’s first permanent west coast
presence. His commitment to sharing his
vision through collaboration and enabling
other promising young architects has
allowed the firm to achieve consistent design
excellence with a strong commitment to
sustainability.
Robert Miller describes himself as a romantic
Modernist, eliciting those qualities that make
his buildings humane, practical and beautiful.
The work values nature against artificiality,
of simplicity against pompous display, and
careful balance of sentiment and reason.
Since childhood, his wonder at how the
world works has shaped his inquisitive and
inventive design response bringing fresh
vision to each opportunity. His big-scale
moves connect sustainable construction
with deep emotional impact. His attention to
detail follows through, finding tactile delight
in elements people touch or grasp.
Robert Miller constantly demonstrates that
modest budgets do not prevent innovation
and design advancement. Similarly, he is
determined that ample budgets do not
exempt a project from optimizing the use of
resources. This viewpoint, consistent since his
student days, is evidenced by 65 significant
design awards and by patented inventions.
The breadth of his approach is quietly
changing the world for the better.

Descartes, Deviants, and the Devil’s
Advocate
Communities are often misunderstood. They
are often misrepresented, largely by the
language we use to describe them. The way
we code, classify, and describe our lives often
alters how we perceive the world around us.
More importantly, these stereotypes have
fueled a tendency to segregate ourselves
into pockets of marginalized people and
places. Old people live here. Poor people
go there. Libraries do this. Hospitals do that.
As one of the managing partners at Morrison
Kattman Menze, Inc., an architecture and
planning firm dedicated to enhancing
communities through the promotion of
health and wellness, Zachary’s career has
focused on challenging these assumptions
in an attempt to pursue a more diverse
and holistic approach to community
development. In doing so, his work has
dedicated itself to endorsing the importance
of vibrant social networks and civic
sensibilities.
By critically evaluating these conventional
presumptions (and the language that sustains
them), this work has made a concerted
effort to explore how these stereotypes
can be disregarded. With projects ranging
from critical access hospitals to senior
housing, Zachary has worked to reengage
these marginalized populations as a vital
component in the creation of active,
intergenerational neighborhoods.
Recently this methodology has been used
to explore how rapidly growing senior
populations within failing rural communities
can be used as a catalyst for urban renewal.
These “Lifelong Villages” attempt to utilize
the demand for goods and services by the
growing number of older adults as a critical
mass capable of supporting locally owned
businesses.

Glenn Harper
Growing the Grassroots: Planning for the
Future of the Historic National Road
Glenn Harper
Outstanding
Achievement Award
MSHP, Ball State
University, 1987
Glenn A. Harper is a cofounder of the
National Road Alliance,
a six-state advocacy
organization.
His accomplishments on
behalf of the National
Road resulted in his
recognition by
the Ohio National Road
Association, Ohio
Governor Ted Strickland,
the Boards of County
Commissioners and
Township Trustees along
the US Route 40
corridor.
He was awarded an
endowment in his
name, “The Glenn A.
Harper Endowment for
Preservation on the
Ohio Historic National
Road”
When Glenn Harper graduated from Ball
State with a Master of Science degree in
historic preservation, he did not know he
was about to embark on a career focusing
on the preservation of historic cultural
landscapes. Under the guidance of
landscape architecture professor and mentor,
Les Smith, Glenn completed an extensive
study of the settlement patterns, land use
and building practices of Mennonite settlers
in southern Adams County, Indiana as his
Masters creative project. He now believes
this experience was the spark that ignited his
interest in cultural landscapes and ultimately
the work for which he is being honored with
the College of Architecture and Planning
Alumni Society, Award of Outstanding
Achievement.
As a Regional Coordinator with the Ohio
Historical Societies Historic Preservation
Office, Glenn was in a unique position
to organize and nurture some of Ohio’s
first efforts to recognize historic cultural
landscapes and it was the National Road,
America’s first federally funded interstate
highway that received the lion’s share of
Glenn’s organizing knowhow for nearly two
decades.

The National Road
College of Architecture and Planning
Glenn began his advocacy on behalf of the
National Road by co-founding the National
Road Alliance, the six-state organization
instrumental in obtaining state and national
scenic byway designation for the Road.
He then led the effort to fund, write and
implement a corridor management plan for
the Road.
Glenn initiated and served as a lead advisor
for the innovative and award-winning Ohio
Historic National Road Design Handbook.
He also co-authored the unique publication,
A Traveler’s Guide to the Historic National
Road in Ohio, now in its fourth printing.
National Road scholar and writer, Glenn’s
achievements were such that he was
honored with an endowment established in
his name for the preservation of the National
Road in Ohio.
Glenn’s presentation focuses on the planning
and organizing strategies that he refers to
as “Growing the Grassroots.” This enabled
him and his colleagues to obtain national
recognition for the Road and successfully
complete so many National Road projects.

Sustainability in Practice and Design
Define key elements and philosophies in
creating a sustainable design practice,
supporting and enhancing sustainable
communities where we live, work, and play,
and developing creative sustainable design
solutions for our clients.
During this discussion we will look at Design
Organizations’ sustainable practice as a
whole business component. This will include
geographic and market sector diversification,
how technology and electronic media can be
used, and why giving back to the community
with time and resources can make our
communities a sustainably better place to
live.

Renovating Culturally Significant Work:
The Bartholomew County Public Library
Plaza Renovation
Columbus, Indiana is known for its world
renowned collection of Mid-Century Modern
architecture. The Bartholomew County
Public Library plaza, originally designed
by I.M. Pei, has served as one of the city’s
most significant public spaces for over forty
years. The plaza is home to ‘Large Arch’, a
monumental Henry Moore sculpture that
serves as the focal point for the space. In the
past the plaza has been used for concerts,
art shows and other community events.
As the plaza has aged and the city changed,
the space has become underutilized. The
landscape architect was contacted to help
revitalize the space by bringing people
back to the plaza, and to address a host of
maintenance issues including deteriorating
brick, dead or declining trees, an inadequate
storm water system and ADA compliance.
This talk will focus on the design challenges
of respecting a culturally significant design
while solving maintenance and accessibility
issues and adding amenities desired by
modern users of the space.

The Fall Creek Science Corridor is an
amazing bridge between urban planning and
landscape architecture. The urban waterway
project connects three purposes: 1) the
mission of Ivy Tech Community College, 2)
the purpose of the day for Eli Lilly employees,
and 3) the intent of Reconnecting Our
Waterways.
An intensive day of volunteer installations will
include; removal of invasive plant species and
creation of academic spaces—encompassing
Fall Creek between Meridian Street and
Senate Avenue. The spaces developed in
Schmidt Associates’ plan include a lab space,
labyrinth, birdhouses, seating, hanging
invasive wall art, and (on campus) a culinary
garden with shade structure.
These projects will lay the groundwork as
a part of a long-term master plan. The
landscape architecture team also created a
diverse, native planting design as the next
step to support and connect the academic
places along the Science Corridor. The plants
selected will serve as an educational tool for
Ivy Tech and K-12 natural and environmental
science students, culinary students, and art
students. They will also serve a critical role
College of Architecture and Planning
in filtering the Fall Creek waters, restoring
soil integrity, and providing a healthy/natural
environment for urban wildlife. All involved
are anticipating the installation of these
plants for the fall of 2013 Lilly Day of Service
in order to capture a healthy growing season.
The Fall Creek Science Corridor is a great
example of anchor institutions playing a
significant role in urban places. What is being
done and what will be done will enhance
the environment and the connectivity to the
creek for the entire community.

Initiative. Additionally the presentation will
discuss the Boston Parks Department, current
and new design projects, and how public
sector landscape architecture functions.
Vast salt marshes once covered most of
East Boston and the Dorchester shoreline,
meadows dotted the hilltops of Roxbury, and
pristine streams coursed through the forests
of Hyde Park and West Roxbury. Although
almost all significant portions of these
habitats have been lost due to extensive
human-induced manipulation of land and
water, remnants of these original ecosystems
- urban wilds - still exist in the landscape. A
division of the Boston Department of Parks
and Recreation, the Boston Urban Wilds
encompass more than 1300 acres, expanding
the range of landscape experiences beyond
that of the dense built environment and
manicured Boston parkland, forming an
essential part of the city’s open space system.

Using Building Science and Energy
Modeling to Advance High-Performance
Design
In a marketplace increasingly attuned
to high-performance strategies, design
teams and clients alike are becoming ever
savvier with regard to building science.
Consequently, there is a growing expectation
that architects exhibit the tools and technical
knowledge to go beyond design rulesof-thumb and actually test conceptual
notions, compare the performance design
options, and refine chosen strategies. This
can be accomplished through schematiclevel energy modeling. This kind of energy
modeling is simplified through basic forms,
generalizations, and gross approximations,
which makes it quite different from the highly
detailed comprehensive modeling effort
that is commonly executed near the end of
a project for green building certification or
energy code compliance. This preliminary
type of energy modeling provides teams
with a dynamic opportunity to compare the
performance of different design options
during the conceptual and schematic design
phases when most of the major design
decisions are made and the consequences of
significant changes are minimal.

within a single, digital, 3D model to efficiently
communicate and better the client’s explicit
business objectives. With the effects of
healthcare reform on the horizon, and the
objectives of increasing operational efficiency
and reducing costs forefront in the minds of
healthcare executives, boards and physicians,
the healthcare project industry is aggressively
pushing toward virtual models to support
these key objectives.

sketching. Using an array of examples from
his sketchbooks, he will share sketches that
he did for pleasure on numerous trips to
Haiti, Italy, Istanbul, London and several
venues in the USA. The second portion of the
lecture will focus on how Tony uses freehand
sketching and drawings in his architectural
practice… from conceptual sketches to
working drawings. He will end the lecture by
sharing his recent fascination with sketching
on “cocktail napkins.” The latter will be the
focus of his afternoon workshop.
