Over 1 ,000 quakes above 3.0 on the Richter Scale were re­corded in the Western U.S. since January 17, 1994. Mor­tars made with Type S lime are part of the reason why damage to modern masonry structures was minimal. In the West, mor­tars containing Type S lime are code-approved for seis­mic zones 2, 3 and 4. The reason ... high bond strength to resist lateral movement.

Chemstar Type S Lime helps "grab" brick and block, making it your best bond insurance against wall damage. Not just in regions subject to quakes or high wind loads, but anywhere structures are built to last. Chemstar Type S Lime is avail­ab le in the West, Southwest, Texas and Western Canada. For sales or technical informa­tion about Chemstar Type S Lime, call (800) 274-8977.

EDI TOR'S NOTE

Does Design Matter? D URING THE LAST M:EETCNC of the T SA Publi cations Com mitt ee, there was a djscussion of issue themes for 1995, which ended with a spiri ted exchange on the question of whe ther desjgn still matte rs in today's marke cpb ce.

Some o f the co mmi ttee members, draw ing on recent clien t su rveys tha t show design and aesthe tics to be among the lowest ran ked of archit ectura l ser­vices, said design should matte r no mo re to archi tects tha n it apparently does to clie11ts- that arch itects should thin k of themselves pure ly as service provid­ers, meeting whatever needs clients dictate, re legating design to a low priority.

Oth er commi tt ee members argued thar such surveys reflect no more tha n the publi c's igno ran ce of what design really encompasses and what benefits it pro vides-that the pr edicta ble con -str uctib lity and serviceability that cli­ents pr ize over "design" is not sepa­rable from des ign in its t rue sense. Flt rth er, they said, it is only by emph a­sizing design in their practices that ar­ch.i tects can posit ion themse lves to thrive in today's marketplace.

As the discussion continu ed, more qu estions were raised tha n answered, and it beca me clea r that it wo uld be bard for a single author, in a single is­sue of th e magaz ine, to do justice to the m. It was proposed that we invite TA's readers to contr ibute to a series of stories on design to n m in 1995, and I am issuing that invitatio n. Ha s yo ur defi niti on o f desig n chan ge d s ince you left arc hi tect ur e schoo l? lfow does it match with the expecta­tions of yolt r clients? H ow can design se rvices best be mark e ted? H ow much em phasis should archi tects put on desig n , in relatio n to projec t de­livery and other services? Cm, archi­tects practice as if design doesn 't mat­te r? W h at, if an ything, should be do ne to make design matte r more to clients :md the public? Ca ll me to talk about con tr ihuting to what promises to be a spir ited deb,n e.

WHEN IT COMES TO CARE, MARVIN HAS All YOU NEED.

Design for health care takes special care. Part of the charm of Baylor's new Pediatric Center for Restorative Care is the way its architecture plays an important role in the treatment process. Its comfortable, even nostalgic atmosphere reassures parents and encourages the young patients it serves.

Marvin Windows knows about caring. Marvin windows punctuate the center's exterior, enlivening a bright, cheery design. At Marvin, caring for windows and doors begins with your design process. Marvin sales and technical staff helps you meet aesthetic goals and budgets, and ensures that windows and doors are the highlights they should be.

So do not start a project without considering Marvin. When you order a Marvin window, you'll have a lot more than just a few standard sizes and options to choose from.

Marvin makes windows in over 8,000 standard sizes and a virtually unlimited number of custom shapes and sizes, with a variety of options to suit your most specific needs. Because at Marvin, we know that the right window has to not only look good, but also stand up to the weather. Beautifully made to order, one at a time.

Choose Marvin Windows & Doors. Because when you use Marvin, you add more than just windows and doors. You add a staff that cares enough to make your projects work. And you get materials and manufacturing with the kind of care that make windows and doors last.

LAWS. REGS & RED TAPE

DTPA: Reform Needed TSA GovF.RNMl>NT Al ' FAJRS Comrnittt:e Chair­

man Ronnie Wooten, FALA, and Executive Vkc

President David 1.:rncaster recently announced

their 1994 legislative prioricies, beaded hy re­

form of the Deceptive Trade Pr:1ctices Acr.

The DTPA, a product of rising consumer

expectations in the last two decades, was in­

tended tu protect consumers :tgainst false, mis­leading, ~ind deceptive business practices, un­

conscionable actions, and breaches of warranty.

Under the law, a consumer is ddincd as an in­dividual or corporation wich a net worth of less

than $25 million. Since they are expensive, man}' buildings are

bui lt by owne rs who don't qualify as consumers.

But for owners who do qualify under DTPA as consumers, it has become routine to cast 111:11-

practice claims against :1rchirecrs in 1he guise of

DTPA :ictions, because findings of gu ilr under

the DTPA :ire subject co u-iple d:1111:igcs.

Despite th e White Budd verdict (sec T. I May/J unc 1993, p. 22), as :i pmctic:11 111:itter, rhc great(!St thrc:tt LO architects under the DTPA does not lie in tht: off-chance of losing a case.

lnsceacl, the prohlt:m is tJ1at the spectre of triple

damages causes insumnce companies to cur and

run and settle cases they cou ld have won in crial. Take a $ 100,00 dnllar le :1k, tuss in

$500,000 in arrornC}' fees, triple it, and you're talking real money. By settling anywhere within

policy limits, insurers avoid the effects of the legal doco·ine that holds a company rejecting ;1

settlement offer witl1in polic}' limits liable for

potential dam:igt:s beyond those limits. The lawyers, of course, prosper :.tnd the in­

surance companies :in: content within their ac­

tuarial landsc:ipe . The only viccims arc the ar­chitects whose reputations go undefendecl,

along witl1 the resr of us whose premiums will

go up nc.\'.t year. For all professionals, rhi: fundamental

questions before the cou rt s and, eventually before rhe legis latur e :ire, "Does tl1e DTPA

app ly to profe ssiona l services?". "Shou ld it?".

and "Wi ll ir?"

To the first question, the answer is yes, at

least in part The legislative and legal hisrory of

the DTP A is marked by recognition of the so­

cieta l rrentl from a goods-oriented to a service ­

orien tecl economy. Former -icx:.ts Supreme

Court Justice Oscar M:mzy, the sponsor of the DTPA when he was a st:tte senat or, has written:

"We must be wi lling ro expand or limit the law dependent upon the perceived ills of a changing

2 2 Texas Architect 11/12 1993

snciety .. . . Any ot her policy wou ld ... deny the

rights of the people whom wt: represent." T hi s mean s that we cannot and proh:1bly

shou ld nut csc:ipe those provis ions of the law that bar knowing ntisreprcsent1tions of facts in

advertising, failures m disclose conOicts of in­terest, un ethical hilling, :111d the like. T hi s me1111s architects shou ld be carefu l not to repr e­

sent themselves as "u nique ly qualified."

\~ 1hat the Supreme Court has no t )'Ct made

cle:ir is whether there is :m implied w:1rr:1nry of

good :ind workmanlike perfor manc e in the pro­

vision of professio nal serv ices thnt can be

breached simply by a bad result- that is, if scrict

liahi liry shou ld apply. In other words, it's the

warranry of performance versus the w:1rrancy of

result, :111 aq,"l.1melll th:tt gc,cs right m the heart

o f professiona lism. Shou ld we, as professionals,

be held LO a s trict liabi lity imerpretation oft hi:

DTPJ\? It is in the hcst interest of society that we 11m he, :111d our leg is lative and m11irus arrinr effons shou ld let no one forger rh::it. By defini­

linn, architects and engineers, nlong with doc­tor-; :111d l:1wyer-;, oper:1te in a field of uncer­

r:iinry that requires dealing with options chat can seldom be ohject ively balanced. fa •en the

most sk illful e.~ercise of professiona l judgm ent

c:rnnot f,"1.lara n tee happiness. If that were the

case, paricnts woulcl never die, bui ldings would never leak, and attorneys would never lose law­

s11its. On the other hand, where rhere is ris"' there is reward; the :irtfu l exercise of learned

judgement is the wdlspring of so.iring achicve-

111c_111. \,\le can rnisc the argument that, as pro­

ft:ssionu ls, un like tradesmen, we are a lready subject to m.1lpracticc claims. Addin g rhe ham ­

mer of the DTPA will force professionals into a defensive posrure thac wil l roh society of the positive benefits of experimencation and crc­

adviry. lntcrcstingl~·. Ute metlic:il mnlprncdcc ace already states that professional malpractice

consrirures an adequate publi c remedy for li­

abi lity questions ;md holds rhe DTPA ro he in­

app licable. The same should apply ro design

professionals.

ll ow rhe question is deciclcd depend s on the effecrivcne_ss of our lulibying effo rts as we ll as

the outcome of cases cur rentl y before the Su­

preme Court. Your p:irticipntion in these efforts

could make n big difference.

SOME OF THE BEST SCHOOLS BEING BUILT TODAY Will NEVER BE FINISHED.

Today, a good school design should

never be finished. IL needs to be able to

change as fast as your needs.

That's why some of today's best­

designed schools are being built witl1 the

Ultrawall' system from USG Interiors.

The Ultrawall system gives you the

flexibility to change to meet tomorrow's

needs, from moving a wall overnight to

redesigning the entire interior

configuration.

Cl1993 IJsG ln!llrlOIS. toe

You can even transfoJlll today's school

into tomorrow's office building, medical

center or other non-educational application,

so shifting enrollment patterns don't leave

you with empty. worthless buildings.

That's why we created a special

Ultrawall system just for schools, with

unique features like integral teaching

surf aces. fast access to wall cavities to

change wiring or computer cables and a

variety of interchangeable finishes,

from tackboard and easy-to-clean

vinyl to durable, pre-finished

baked enamel-coated steel.

New College Buildings A Building Boo1n is Reshaping Texas Canipuses

by Gerald Moorhead , FAIA

V/1111.E OTHER s"C::MRNTs of th e Texas economy have slowed in the past dccnde, 1111ivcrsities , colleges, and community co lleges across the sta te hnvc continu ed co build and expand. The so ns and daught e rs of the baby-boom generation arc llooding campuses. The bus iness o f tmiver sicy operations stimulate s growth of nnot.hcr kind: Rese:1rch nnd grant rai sing pl:1ce a hi gher pri ority on l:ibs and other specialized buildin gs, lead ing to an increa se in th e ir cons tru ction.

The survey of projec ts in this issue of Te.i·as rlrchitcct, though hardl y compre­hensive, rellect s a ran ge of pr ojec t types, from uciUt::irian classroom s ro re­search laborato r ies and high - pro.file performance hall s. De spite th e man y new buildings, however, we have found. !hat campus planning, which should pr ovide the vision and scrucrure for growth, is in a neg lecte d state.

The Age of Philanthropy II1crnER l'OVCATION was importnnt co early Texan s and they were wjl_ling to pay for it. Numerous pri vate co lleges, usually with re ligiou s affi liation s, were founded in the years o f the Republic ; so me, like Baylor (founded i.n 1845), sur­vived and grew. fo th e decades after the Civil War, prosperity and th e desire for imp roved education to kee p pace with rhe rest o f th e country broug ht th e hc­ginnings of many insriruti ons. 1ex as Agricu ltura l and Me chanical Co llege was lhe first public college, crea ted by the legis lature in 187 1; classes began in 1876 \~Ith 40 stu dents. The University of Texas was chart ereJ in 1882, Texas Chris­tj~n and Southwestern uni versities in 1873, SL Edwa rd's in 1888, and num er­ous others into the ea rly decades of th e 20th ce ntury , both publi c and pri vate.

The ar chit ec rur::il aspirations of these youn g schools were in step wit..h de­sign trends in the rest of the cou ntry. The "Old Main " building at U T ( 18fb -98, Frederick and Oscar Ruffini , demolished 1934) was :1 Got hic pile with point ed lancet window s and mil peaked roofs, very simil:1r co th e J\lb in Admin ­istr:ition Buildin g ( r900) st ill standing at So uthwe s tern University in Georgetown. Th e Main Building at St. Edward~ (1885, N ichola s C l:1yton) is a ratmd-archcd variati on of this Victorian pictur esque ness.

Architect EE. Giesec ke gradua lly brought a similar ur<ler to Texas A&M. T he sma U dom e and Roman orders of the Academ ic Building (19 12) replaced the or iginal Main Building (which had burned) and estab­lished the east-west alignment of the new quadrang le that faced west. Succeeding bui ldings defined the qw1d, but in 1932 G iesecke builc the new Administra­tion Building that comp lete ly reoriented the campu s entran ce to the east. Th e old entrance is now marked by the Albr itton Tower (1984), while the revised for­mal approach passes a golf course . The khaki mono­tone of the ear ly brick bui ldings set a un iform stan ­dard that continues in force.

Des igned by Ra lph Adams Cram (19 1 o, Crnm Goodhue & Ferguson) following an axial organiza­tion of quadrangles that he was deve loping for Pr inceto n Unive rsity at the same ti me, the spaces and vistas of Rice's "Ge neral Plan'' have endured because they were given for m and mea ni ng by a sympath etic architecture .

plan is meanin gless. \Viti, a few exception s, new buildin gs have reinforced :mu enhanced Crarn 's ar­marure, giving Rice a unique sense of place.

Crnm 's protege at Rice, Willitun \i\T.1rd \,Vatkin , designed a plan and 13 buildin gs for the new 11:xas Techno logical Co llege in Lubbo ck in T924. Wat­kin's maste r plan seems co be based on an earlier version of the Rice pl:in designed by Bertram GooJhuc (C ram Good hu e & 17e rguson had an intr a-o ffice competitio n and Cra m's scheme won), feaniring a prim:iry north- south :ixis composed o f a series o f quadrangles th:it is intersected at midpoint by .1 seco ndar y e.1sr-west entr y axis. The scale of the Texas Tec h campus on rhe horizo nless -Pan­handl e was trul y grand. As at the Rice camp us on its featureless coastal plain, Lhe buildings arc used as place makers to define the vastness.

Beaux Arts ideals on a sma ller scale are apparent at other.· Texas colleges. Although South ern Meth­odist Un iversity in Dalla s had no lnrger plan ini­tially, the axial focus of Bishop Boulevard on Dallns Hall (T9r5, Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge) gives the impr ess ion of space, enha ncing the r eference of t.his infhred temple from co ics model, chc Library at the University of Virginia byThomas j efferson. Alth ough somewhat out of phase with these early campus plans, the J effersonian quadran gle designed for the U niversity of St. Thomas by Philip John son (1947) h:is shown the com patibilit y of mode m ar­chitecture with classic.11 space.

Postwar Growth Ex PAN-OING stude nt bodies following World Wnr [I

placed new pressures on Texas c:11npuses. C lassical master plans fell into disrepair as moderni st plan­ning theory rejected the Beaux Arts models, plac­ing less emphasis on m1ditio nal urb ,1n space, con­text, ~md the conn ectedness of buildings ns spatial organizers. [ndividm1I buildings were treated as iso-

lated objects in sp,1ce, frequently int erjected in though tless violation of cam pus order. Th e auto­mobile has been allowed to further erode academic tranqui llity with through-cr:1ffic and ncres of nsphalt parking. Plann ers seem unwilling to make students and faculty walk, creating c.1mpuses indistinguis h­able from subw-ban shoppin g stri ps. Campuses are fragmented by cars, undefined spaces, ad-hoc plan­ning, and loss of their sense of place. lnfill projects, such as the new green sp,1cc and academic court s created at St. Phillip's Co llege in San Anto nio hy ForJ , Powell & Carson and Humber to Saldana As­soci.u es, have :mem pted to give stro nger senses of place to a variety of postwar c.rn,puses.

A unique success in the <lishe:1rtcning ficl<l of campus modernism has been at Trini ty University in San Antoni o. Th e master plan by O'Neil For<l & Associates and Bartlett Coc ke & Associates ( 1949) used the topography of an old limestone quarry to organize the academic and residential areas. Th e brick buildings h:we bet:n sired over the years to re­ceive nlltural light and ventibti on and co respect the native vegetatio n.

In the miJ<lle t980s, a nwnb er of postmodt:rn campus designs emerged, intended t0 recapnare the classical order of earlier decades. A parLicularly suc­cessful example is the Palo Alto Co llege campus in San Antonio, a project of tJ,e Alamo Community Co llege District, des igned by a joint ventur e o f DeL1ra AJmond Architects and J ones & Kell (now Kell Mniioz 'vVigodsky). Using low-cos t materials and simplified forms from San Antonio's mission/ presidia rn1dirion, rhe campus plan creates a place from an ope n, fe..1turcless site.

De­signed jo intly by The Office of Gra h:rn, Greene .mcl Meckfcssel Assocines, Th e DEC will have a uniqu e urban focus. It is built in the 1950s sectio n of a series of buildings that made up the T itche­Goetti nger Department Store (the earliest daces to 192 3). The Office of Gra ham Greene is reworking the res t of the store compl ex co include 15,920 squa re feet or ground- floor retai l space; 111 ,000

Postscript \IV1T11 suc 11 A W l0\L TH of faulty plannin g and non ­planning in recent de::cades to le:m1 from and react to, a return ro rhc predictability of neo-classica l planning ideals is understandable. Th e abi lity of Beau.'< Arts plans like Rice's to create civilized envi­ronm ents warr ants renewed confidence in tradi­tiona l plannin g mode ls but shou ld not be o·ivialized by a sentimenra l pllstiche of revivalist ar­chitecture . To achieve its objectives, good plannin g needs good architecture::.Johnson 's mall a l the: Uni­versity of St. Th omas is a fine example of classical planning and modern architecture working to­gether to create an ident ity and sense of place. Combined witJ1 ideas like Ph illips' thar put educa­tion in its proper place or at the center of socie ty, campus design might provide some lessons for the larger picture of urban design. TA

Even io \ 'icrori:i, his adopted home town, the bl!st-known lnn<lmnrks :ire buildings Je-ignccl Ii} someone else-the Vicwri:1 Cou nty

Cuunhouc;c ( 189!, J. Ril ey Gordon), St. J\1:iry's Catholic Church ( 1904, 1icola~ C lnyton, with revisions by Phelps & King), nnd the O'Connor-Proctor Building (1895.

Lcrfland's work consisted of c;m:illcr commis­sions :ind thcrc lorc ic; not :is well km)\\ n :is rhe work of m:my other architccLs of his time.

Jul es C:irl Lefnancl ( 1R54-19z4) recci"ed his ;1rchi1ectur:i l education from the Tns1itute nr-lcchn<Jlogy of Copcn h.1gen, Denmark. Af­ter m:trrying Emilie Sophie Struck, the daughter of a famous resort hotel owner, he emigrarccl to the L·nired Smrcs :ll the nge or 32. He ~oon sent for his family :111d ihe) settled in Vicwrin, :1 th1i\•ing r:111ching cnm­muniry and commercial center of the time.

From this modest beginning, his pr:icrice grew. lli s son Kai (1889-1951) joined LefOand's firm after grndunting from the University of Pennsylva­nia and the practice or Jules Lcfnand & Son dre\\ :1 variety of commissions from man} cit­ies :ilong the 1ex:1s coast.

To comm unit y bcnditcd as much .1s Victoria, however. In oddirion tu numerous residences and commercial buildings, one of the most signific:rnt pro1ecrs of Leftl:ind's ca­reer, rhe 'az:irerh Acnclcmy ( 1904), is loc:1tcd in Victori:1, ndj:icent to St. Mary's Carbolic Church. The building w:1s to house n girls' school for I he Sisters of the I nc:1rn:m: \ \lord and Blessed S:icramcn t, :1 French convent with :i n, o- hundrcd -year-o ld tradition. The two-nnd-a-hulf-srory structure w:is co n­st rucred of lo:id-hcaring masonry walls and wood frnming. Some of the distinctive fc:1-Lurcs of the design include cl:ibor:llc gob le :ind dorml!r clcrniling :ind stucco quoins for corner 11rucul:1rion that revea l Lcflland's Copenhagen mew,.
