SUMMARY:Design x Technology Series: Ulysses Sean Vance
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Health Capacity\n\n\nCome to CoAD for another innovative Spring 2026 Design x Technology Series talk featuring Associate Professor at Temple University\, Tyler School of Art and Architecture Ulysses Sean Vance. \nHis presentation titled\, ‘Beyond Health Capacity\,’ will shed light on the systemic challenges communities with limited access to medical support and health maintenance have endured. \nBy integrating architectural analysis with public health\, environmental psychology\, and medical practices\, Vance’s research and creative work aim to highlight architecture’s vital role in discussions about health equity. Investigations into spatial configurations in healthcare settings examine their impact on medical anxiety\, patient recovery\, and staff efficiency. Employing computational analysis alongside evidence-based design\, Vance evaluates how architectural elements\, such as circulation patterns and sensory experiences\, influence patient comfort\, stress reduction\, and clinical efficiency. \nThe lecture extends to the audience a discussion of publics in architecture\, the role of health capacity in urban infrastructure\, and housing. Vance will be examining the relationship between environmental stressors and health outcomes\, particularly health resilience. The ultimate goal is to share a framework that accommodates a wide range of users\, ensuring spaces are not only accessible but also responsive to the diverse human experience. Vance will argue that\, by collaborating with public health researchers\, medical professionals\, and engineers\, design research in architecture bridges the gap between architectural practice and healthcare policy. \nHealth capacity is an emerging consideration for optimizing building design to meet health criteria across physical\, virtual\, historical\, and social spaces. Ulysses will emphasize that approaching medical interventions through non-traditional health facilities can positively affect health’s social and environmental impacts. \nThis informative presentation will be moderated by interim Provost Karl Daubmann. \n\n\n\nCEU: This event equals 1 professional architecture credit towards licensure requirements. ​​ \nPlease note that LTU is not a registered AIA CE provider. By virtue of having a NAAB-accredited architecture program\, the State of Michigan authorizes LTU to offer continuing education credit. A list of state-approved HSW subjects can be found on their licensing website by searching the page for ‘HSW subjects for continuing education’. \nAs part of CoAD’s Design x Technology Series\, this event is free and open to the public. Guests may watch online or on campus. Register for the location/viewing details. A pizza lunch will be provided to all on-site registered guests. \n\n\nBio: Ulysses Sean Vance is a scholar specializing in universal design and healthcare architecture\, focusing on adaptive environments that accommodate diverse cognitive and physical abilities. His research goes beyond regulatory compliance\, exploring how spatial organization\, material selection\, and environmental factors enhance inclusivity. The objective is not just to ensure accessibility but also to transform the built environment to better anticipate and respond to occupants’ evolving needs. \nVance’s work is centered on designing interventions that foster health and well-being in underserved communities\, rooted in inclusive decision-making during the planning and programming of institutional spaces. The research particularly targets the unique health service needs of adolescents and older adults\, encompassing medical\, hygienic\, physical\, and nutritional interventions. Current projects tackle health disparities in urban areas by assessing material hardships and protective factors that affect physical\, social\, neurological\, and behavioral challenges. Key partnerships include the NCSU College of Design Center for Universal Design and various University of Michigan centers focused on healthcare innovation and childhood disparities. The latest research with Temple University Urban Workshop emphasizes patient safety in institutional settings. It explores how campus health can better engage physically and neurologically diverse adolescents while supporting Variety the Children’s Charity of Delaware Valley in creating accessible community cabins.

SUMMARY:Design x Technology Series: Juan Miró
DESCRIPTION:The Landscape City talk & exhibition\n\n\nThis March Design x Technology Series event consists of a talk centered around an exhibition presented by ACSA and University of Texas Distinguished Professor\, Dick Clark Chair in Architecture Juan Miró. \nCities are complex human creations that embody the values and aspirations of the societies that build them. As they adapt and evolve over time\, cities develop specific models for growth in response to their historical circumstances and the physical characteristics of their locations. Although today many cities across the globe face similar challenges\, the solutions to address those problems must respond to the particulars of each city: from their very specific nuances to the general understanding of the urban trajectory that has shaped them—their urban DNA. \nThis talk and exhibition presents the work of the architectural practice Miró Rivera Architects within the given context in Austin. Their architecture is developed in dialogue with nature. In their designs\, buildings and nature complement each other and form a symbiosis that positively enhances both the exterior and interior spaces as well as the human beings within. In three thematic areas—trees\, water\, people—they present projects that demonstrate how the interactions between city\, nature\, and architecture influence spaces for living and working. For Miró Rivera\, this is the primary goal: to create both private places and public spaces for people to spend time and come together. \nModerating this Design x Technology Series talk is Associate Professor of Architecture Ralph Nelson \nCEU: This event equals 1 professional architecture credit towards licensure requirements. ​​ \nPlease note that LTU is not a registered AIA CE provider. By virtue of having a NAAB-accredited architecture program\, the State of Michigan authorizes LTU to offer continuing education credit. A list of state-approved HSW subjects can be found on their licensing website by searching the page for ‘HSW subjects for continuing education’. \nAs part of CoAD’s Design x Technology Series\, this event is free and open to the public. Guests may watch the talk online or on campus. Register for the location/viewing details. \n\n\n\nBIO:  \nFew architects embody the intersection of design\, advocacy\, and education as seamlessly as Juan Miró\, FAIA LEED AP. His work is a testament to the belief that architecture is not merely about creating beautiful structures\, but about shaping environments that enhance the human experience. Across his professional work\, academic teachings\, and personal activism\, Juan has demonstrated how architecture can engage with nature\, pushed the boundaries of urbanism\, and advocated for a more humane built environment. \nJuan was born in Barcelona and obtained his professional degree at the Escuela de Arquitectura of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. He worked in Spain with his father Antonio Miró as well as with Fernando Higueras\, Felix Candela\, and Santiago Calatrava on a wide range of projects. In 1989\, Juan earned a Fulbright Scholarship to complete a post-professional Master’s degree at Yale University\, where he was awarded the William Edward Parsons Memorial Medal. After graduating\, Juan worked at Gwathmey Siegel and Associates Architects in New York City. \nIn 2000\, Juan co-founded Miró Rivera Architects alongside his wife Rosa Rivera and brother-in-law Miguel Rivera. The prestigious design firm has won over 100 design awards\, including the AR Award for Emerging Architecture\, Texas Architecture Firm Award\, the Architectural Digest AD100\, and ArchDaily’s list of the World’s Best Architects. \nWhat sets Juan apart is his ability to see Austin not as a place to be molded in the image of our European counterparts\, but as a uniquely American “landscape city\,” as he calls it\, that thrives in its relationship with nature. This perspective is embedded in the work of Miró Rivera Architects\, which has shaped some of the most remarkable architectural designs in Austin and beyond. The firm’s projects create dialogue between land\, light\, and the people who inhabit them. \nJuan has lectured and published extensively on the work of Miró Rivera Architects\, the role of the architectural profession in civic life\, the relationship between the manmade and Nature\, Mexican architecture\, and the relevance of history for designers. He is an active member of the American Institute of Architects and has served as a juror for several AIA design award competitions at the national\, state\, and local levels. In 2011\, Juan was elevated to the organization’s College of Fellows in recognition of his contributions to the profession and to society. \nBeyond his professional practice\, Juan is the Dick Clark Chair in Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin\, where he founded Studio Mexico and teaches design and Mexican architectural history. His influence on young architects extends far beyond the classroom; he instills in them a sense of responsibility\, curiosity\, and advocacy. He urges his students to engage with their surroundings\, to question norms\, and to recognize their power to shape not just buildings\, but communities. Juan’s grassroots action against windowless student dormitories in Austin resulted in a citywide ban on the construction of bedrooms without operable windows. \nJuan was named a Distinguished Professor by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture and is a member of UT’s Academy of Distinguished Teachers. Juan has received both the Texas Society of Architects’ Award for Outstanding Educational Contributions and the University of Texas Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award. \nJuan’s legacy is not just in the structures he has designed\, but in the ideas he has championed. He has helped redefine Texas architecture\, not through imitation of others\, but by embracing its own identity. He has empowered students to use their voices and reminded architects that their responsibility extends far beyond aesthetics. His work serves as a reminder that architecture\, at its core\, is about humanity.
