Historically, research and creative practice have been constructed as "opposites." This is not an unusual struggle in architecture schools, particularly in the context of a research university. This perceived tension between design and research is indicative of age-old anxieties within the architecture field to understand its nature as an "applied art." Design can be a purely creative activity not unlike creative practices in music and art. In other cases, design can be a purely problem solving activity, not unlike research in engineering and industrial production.
In its fourth year, University of Michigan Taubman College's Research Through Making (RTM) Program provides seed funding for faculty research, worked on by faculty, students and interdisciplinary experts. The exhibition presents tangible results of their collaborative work.

Constructing the Other Space Federal University of Manaus by Pooja Dalal
The Federal University of Manaus is a formative exception of the city of Manaus. The campus lies hidden, in the center of the city, within a forest reservation of 600,000 sq feet. The forest geographically disconnects the campus from the city, in the same way Manaus is disconnected from its surroundings by the Amazon rainforest. The University , even though dictinct from the city, is dependant on the city’s processes. There is always a reflection of the economic situation of the City on the University. Today, the University is expanding in its forest reservation in the same manner the city is expanding in the Amazon rainforest. The same components (industry, housing and research) are enabling this expansion.
The thesis examines this condition of 'a city within a city' and leverages this campus enclave of the Federal University of Manaus to reimagine its exterior - by using the same exact components of the city. The thesis will push the rules and regulations of the form of the city to its limit, such that the campus starts to become something ‘other’ - like a space in a heterotopic mirror, which will help re-contruct our imagination of the city. In this ‘other’ space, everything will be altered using the same rules of city building - of built and open space, of public and private space, of glass and of concrete, of justice, of religion, of everything archietctural and of everything sensory. This new other space, uncannily familiar, but completely heterotopic will reimagine the very basis of the neoliberal city.

During their final year – known as the thesis year – architecture graduate students research a topic that culminates in a design project. The projects are exhibited just prior to graduation and reviewed by a panel of outside and faculty experts. One project from each studio is identified for Honors; these projects are on view over the summer in the College Gallery.
2013 Thesis Honors Projects by:
Megha Chandrasekhar, Pooja Dalal, Brittany Nicole Gacsy, Emily Kutil, Christopher Mascari, Dan McTavish, Hans Papke, Ariel Poliner, Nick Safley, Anna Schafferkoetter, and Brandon Vieth

Dr. Mark Schlissel spent a several hours meeting with students and faculty at the School of Natural Resources and Environment.
ESPN came to the University of Michigan today (July 14, 2008), on the eve of Art Fair, to film the 'TitleTown USA' segment on Ann Arbor, Michigan. Here are some photos of the festivities prior to the interview with alumnus and Heisman Trophy winner Desmond Howard (wearing the ivory shirt). There were many orientation tours for incoming freshman who probably were wonderfing what is going on!
3 Cubes in a Seven Axis Relationship, a new art installation, being installed in front of the G.G. Brown Building on North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI on August 24, 2017.
The sculpture is a 14,000 pound, 25-foot tall kinetic structure that took Philip Stewart, Pinwheel artist, two years to design and was commissioned by the U-M College of Engineering in honor of Charles M. Vest, U-M Alumnus and former Dean of the College of Engineering U-M Provost.
“When Chuck was Dean, he had an interest in establishing a collection of artwork on the University of Michigan’s (U-M) North Campus,” said Alice Simsar, a fine art consultant who works with the U-M. “That’s why this gift in his name is so fitting. An
official dedication of the sculpture will be planned in connection with the U-M Mechanical Engineering Department’s 150-year celebration in 2018,” she added.

The Robotic Exploration of Space Team (REST) test their Mars rover vehicle on the Eda U. Gerstacker Grove on North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI on May 9, 2017.
The robotâs goal is to be able to navigate a Martian environment and collect samples in a simulated extraterrestrial environment. The team competes in the annual NASA Robotic Mining Competition each year, but did not have a Mars-like terrain to test it on until this year when the Eda U. Gerstacker Grove was installed with a volleyball court.

CEE Professor Jerry Lynch and his team of his researchers are working to put the power of engineering in the hands of those who live and learn in the city of Detroit. Lynch’s team have been working on a project called “Sensors in a Shoebox,” putting compact kits of sensors in the hands of Detroit high school students at Voyageur College Prep High School. The kits are packed in plastic cases slightly smaller than a shoebox and are build around a wireless sensor node that was originally developed by Lynch, “Narada,” to monitor the structural integrity of bridges. The sensors record data to see how people are using three-and-a-half miles of parkland and trails along the Detroit River. Lynch’s team hopes to not only help the city of Detroit with sensors like these, but empower the next generation to do so themselves.

Gideon Billings, Robotics PhD Student, and and Peter Esselman, U.S. Geological Survey - Aquatic Landscape Ecologist, film a round goby fish in a tank in the USGS Building on North Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, MI on July 24, 2017.
Matthew Johnson-Roberson, NAME Assistant Professor, and his researchers in the Deep Robot Optical Perception (DROP) Lab are using these fish as subjects for development of a neural network camera. The neural network camera is able to teach itself to identify round goby via a database of imagery and visual that DROP researchers provide. By producing these visuals of round goby in a variety of environment, the neural network camera is able to adjust to a variety of conditions in nature (such as murky or unclear water) and help users identify round goby. Being able to identify these round goby via such a camera will help reduce the amount of resources and time allotted to eliminating this invasive species. Round goby were first accidentally introduced to the Great Lakes in 1990 and have resulted in substantial reduction of snails and mussels, and eggs of native fish, which are important to the angling industry.

A sample of a metal piece donated to the Materials Science Engineering department by the family of Ernest Kirkendall, a U-M alum who wrote a very controversial landmark paper in the 1947, proving that metals diffuse into each other in a different way than was widely believed at the tall. He discovered the Kirkendall Effect, which is still taught to MSE students today.
