TSACS Tuskegee

TSACS Tuskegee Robert R. Taylor School of Architecture and Construction Science at Tuskegee University However, the present mission is much broader than the original one.

Department of Architecture

The Construction Science Department provides professional training in construction management. The curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in Construction Science and Management can be completed in four years and includes courses in general studies and physical sciences, construction materials and systems, architectural technology, surveying, construction management and

business. Graduates who complete the Construction Science and Management Program enter the building industry as professionals who are capable of performing in a number of capacities. The curriculum endeavors to produce professionals who are managers of people, finance, time and physical resource, and who are knowledgeable of the standards of quality required of all trades employed during the construction process. Bachelor of Science in Construction Science and Management

The Construction Science and Management program at Tuskegee is one of the oldest construction baccalaureate programs in the country. Its roots can be traced back to the trade orientation that Tuskegee had in the early twentieth centure. Its mission at one time was to provide skilled craftsmen who were capable of building sound structures and who would ultimately strive to become general contractors. The skills that are required of its graduates are more comprehensive. Construction graduates are required to appreciate the work of the craftsman and know the standards of quality that are required of all trades involved in the construction process. But the construction professional is also a manager of people, money, time and physical resources. The curriculum of the Construction Science and Management program endeavors to develop these skills through course offerings in general studies, Physical Science, Humanities, Business, and Architecture in addition to construction courses.

Our Department Head, DrKwesi Daniels traveled to Dufuskie Island this weekend to document Gulla Geechie historic spaces with MIT grad student Wil Jones. Our historic preservation program was created to document the cultural legacy of communities, like the Gulla Geechie. We captured the Tabby ruins and the family home of Ms. Sally Ann, an eighth generation island resident. The digital documentation work they accomplished this weekend assures the spaces continue to live on virtually.

Professor Amma Asamoah is representing our department with Mae-Ling Lokko of Yale's architecture department, in Tulum, Mexico, with our students. They are studying how to create paint and dyes from plant, using a similar process Dr. Carver used to create his colors. This is a great collaboration between Tuskegee's and Yale's architecture program. More greatness to come!

This week, two of our students Jaden Adams and Jayden Woullard, alum Chanse Huff, and our Preservation Program Manager Jamal Oliver, traveled to Venice, Italy, to participate in the building of a pavilion designed jointly by Tuskegee and Morgan State architecture faculty, Amma Asamoah and Coleman Jordan, respectively. While there, they also are documenting historic Renaissance and Baroque architecture for incorporation in our Architecture History course.

This is a historic moment in the history of our architecture program. Our program is participating in the Venice Biennale and we officially launched our alumni travel abroad program! TSACS believes in working and playing hard. The WORLD is our classroom!

Last week Thursday our department head, DrKwesi Daniels gave a lecture on the Tuskegee University Chapel at Yale University, during the opening of the Rudolph x Fry & Welch exhibit. He highlighted the often overlooked roles of the architects of record, John A. Welch (Tuskegee Alum and former director of the Department of Architecture and Mechanical Drawing) and General Louis E. Fry, Sr. (former faculty and department head of our school and one of the founders the National Organization of Minortity Architects- NOMA) and the landscape architect Edward Pryce. We want to acknowledge Professor Fluker, former professor and retired architect Mr. Major Holland for their contributions to the exhibit, alum Myles Sampson on his commissioned brick sculpture and alum Chester Higgins on his commissioned photography. It was an amazing event that was orchestrated by exhibition curator Helen Bechtal, she did an Awesome job capturing the spirit of our Chapel and communicating to the world the significance of Tuskegee architecture!

We also want to give a special shout out to our Tuskegee alumni who showed up and brought that 'good ol' Tuskegee Spirit'!

The final project for the ARCH 101 studio was a tremendous success. The students produced exceptional, creative, and expressive designs for A Place for Contemplation. These 11' x 17' spaces were thoughtfully created to encourage students to connect with their inner selves, practice mindfulness, and foster personal well-being.

Throughout the semester, students progressed from taking elements from their architectural collages to superimposing them into figure-ground studies and ultimately creating site plans, floor plans, elevations, obliques, isometrics, one- and two-point perspectives, and freehand sketches of their 3-D models. Attached are some of the top studio projects.
