KU team wins architechture award

They draw in order to see buildings the way an architect should.
As part of the National Park Service's Historic American Building Survey, students in the School of Architecture spent the last three years measuring, photographing and drawing Spooner Hall. For their efforts, the 15-student team took first place and a $2,000 award for the 1995 Charles E. Peterson Prize.
The Peterson Prize is awarded annually for the best set of architectural measured drawings done by college students and submitted to the survey.
Financed by William B. Spooner, a Boston merchant, Spooner Hall was built in 1894 and served as the first library at the University of Kansas. In 1974, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Barry Newton, associate professor of architecture, said the survey set out to establish a record of the register's historic buildings. It's a painstaking process where taking a single diagonal measurement of a building's wall can take 30 minutes, Newton said.
"No one undertakes it unless they're going to do a really good job." Newton said.
Jose Fernandez, research assistant, spent two summers working on the survey as a KU student. After photographing every square inch of the building, Fernandez said they then used the photographs to create detailed drawings of the building that were accurate down to each individual stone.
Fernandez said the students did the initial drawings on vellum, a paper with the feel of tissue paper.
The final drawings were traced onto mylar, a special drawing material used for architecture drawings
that are archived. After inking and lettering, the 13 drawings were submitted for judging. Fernandez said.
Aaron Casey, research assistant, said the survey tried to record the present state of a building before major changes and alterations get made, and any building on the register needed to be recorded.
If a building has sustained any damage or alterations, they will incorporate them into their drawings. Casey said.
Kansas students also took third place, which came with an award of $1,000, for their measured drawings of the Church of the Holy Family, in Cahokia, Ill. The church, a prime example of a French colonial, vertical timber church, was constructed between 1786 and 1799.
Fernandez said working on the survey benefited architecture students by helping them learn about the various decisions made during a building's construction.
