The University of Washington Department of Architecture was officially
established by the Board of Regents in 1914 as the nineteenth architecture
school in the United States. Carl Gould was appointed the head of the
department, and, as the first head of the program, he based the curriculum on
the the
The Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, was founded as part of the Academie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1648, but it was not established as a separate institution until the Academie was dissolved in 1793 during the administrative reforms of the French Revolution. The school, which had divisions in painting, sculpture, and architecture, developed world-wide significance and influence in the 19th century.
Although much of the architectural instruction took place in
Ecole-approved
Beginning in the late nineteenth century, the Ecole played a critical role in informing American architecture and architectural education. American architects who had studied abroad inspired others to do the same; the number of American architecture students attending the Ecole grew from under ten in the 1860s to over 110 in the 1890s. At the same time, the first architecture schools were founded in the United States at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1865; the University of Illinois, 1869; Cornell University, 1871; the University of Pennsylvania, 1874; and Columbia College (later Columbia University), 1881. By 1910, there were nineteen American collegiate architecture programs and most had adopted the Ecole model for their curricula. As American architectural education was growing, the Society of Beaux-Arts Architects (SBAA) was founded in 1894 to promote the influence of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in American architecture. The SBAA shaped architectural education in America by preparing standard programmes (architectural problem statements) that were sent to architecture schools and independent ateliers all across the United State to be assigned to students at the appropriate level. The students' design projects were then sent to the SBAA in New York for jurying in a nationwide comparison with student work submitted from other schools and ateliers. This system was intended as a way to develop consistency and raise standards in American architectural education nationally.
In 1916, the SBAA delegated its educational activites to the newly formed Beaux-Arts Institute of Design (BAID) which had leased space in New York City to carry out the educational activities of the Society. The University of Washington architecture school had joined the BAID in 1916 and, like many other American architecture programs, UW students were assigned BAID programmes (problem statements) as well as supplemental assignments developed by Gould and other faculty members. The students' work on BAID programmes was routinely sent to New York for juried review and the drawings typically received a Society of Beaux Arts stamp indicating the points awarded for the assignment. When the UW discontinued their affiliation with the BAID in 1932, all problem statements were written and juried by the Department of Architecture's faculty.
In the early 1930s, most architectural education programs, including the University of Washington, continued to follow the pedagogy of the Ecole des Beaux Arts; however, by the end of the decade, a few leading schools had abandoned the traditional approach as students' interests shifted towards the new architectural movements in the United States and abroad. Although the University of Washington discontinued its affiliation with the BAID in 1932, the curriculum and pedagogy continued to be based on the Ecole des Beaux Arts. During the 1930s, students began experimenting with the new design vocabularies that were dominating architecture in the United States and by the late 1930s, students were primarily interested in International Modernism.
In 1928, the school implemented a five-year curriculum and Lionel Pries joined the faculty of the University of Washington as an instructor. Pries had been trained under the pedagogy of the Ecole des Beaux Arts, receiving his B.Arch from the University of California at Berkeley in 1920 and his M.Arch from the University of Pennsylvania in 1921. Pries taught in a two-person team with Lancelot E. Gowen; together they taught sophomores, second- and third- quarter seniors, and fifth-year students. Pries developed into one of the region's foremost designers and instructors; his rigorous teaching methods, which embraced the artistic and conceptual processes of design and emphasized place in architectural design, shaped the thinking of a generation of influential Northwest architects that includes Paul Hayden Kirk, Roland Terry, Victor Steinbrueck, Fred Bassetti, Robert Shields, Wendell Lovett, and Minoru Yamasaki.
The freshman year began with an intensive introduction to drawing taught by Arthur Herrman and Richard Pearce, 1928-1932, and Henry Olschewsky, 1932-1945. The course focused on basic techniques, shades and shadows, watercolor and running washes, renderings, perspectives, and delineation. The intensive drawing course would lay the technical foundation for the later conceptual problems in design studio. As the freshman year came to end, students were typically asked to address the elements of architecture found in historical examples and textbooks and combine them in an analytique that allowed for little individual expression, such as a classical window or a niche for a vase.
Students were also asked to produce analytiques during the first two quarters of the sophomore year in the Architectural Design I design studio class, taught by Pries and Gowen. Sophomore problems lasted four to six weeks, and the last two weeks of the quarter were spent focused on the analytique. By the beginning of the last two weeks, students had already completed projets which served as drafts of the required plans, sections, elevations, and details. These drawings were typically critiqued and re-done multiple times through the quarter until the drawings were ready to be produced as a final presentation. Final projects were juried by faculty behind closed doors and discussed with the class in the next design studio.
Junior year marked the beginning of Architectural Design II, taught by Arthur Herrman and Henry Olschewsky. The design studio, which emphasized the development of practical design and a workable plan, covered the entirety of a student's junior year and would often extend into the first -- and sometimes second -- quarter of a student's senior year. Students could also take a class in the History of Architectural Ornamentation taught by Lionel Pries. The ornamentation course was based on the tenet of the Beaux Arts pedagogy that decorative details are an essential part of architectural design. Architectural Design III was the culmination of the architecture program, which did not require a terminal project or thesis. Rather, the class, typically undertaken in the fourth and fifth years of study, required the completion of multiple large and complex problems.
As new design concepts reflecting the growing interest in Modernism began to appear in students' work, Pries continued to the use the analytique as a teaching device, focusing on the process of training in design, while allowing many of the classical elements associated with the traditional analytique to disappear from students' work; additionally, drawings were no longer produced with watercolor wash, but often as pencil and ink on illustration board. Pries' influence in the Department of Architecture began to wane in the early 1940s.
The end of World War II in 1945 saw a rapid increase in enrollment that sought to accomodate students seeking a professional architectural education, leading to the eventual abandonment of the Beaux Arts pedagogy in 1949. Keith Kolb, who had studied under Lionel Pries and graduated from the University of Washington in 1947, had returned to the University of Washington as an instructor in the early 1950s. Although the pedagogy of the Ecole des Beaux Arts had been largely abandoned and a new curriculum had been established, Kolb argued that the analytique taught necessary compositional and presentation skills and the analytique returned to the University of Washington curriculum as a junior-level assignment from 1953 to 1961.
The death of faculty member Lancelot Gowen and the forced resignation of Lionel Pries in 1958 marked the end of the Beaux-Arts curriculum and the faculty members who endorsed its methods at the University of Washington. Shortly thereafter, Robert Dietz succeeded Arthur Herrman as Dean of the Department of Architecture in 1961, bringing a greater emphasis on research and new methods of design training, such as physical modeling. Since assignments were coordinated across all studio sections and had been planned out for two-years in advance, it took until the end of the 1961-1962 academic year for the curriculum and the analytique to be phased out completely.
Collection is arranged alphabetically by student's last name. Each student's drawings are further sub-divided into the year of study.
The UW architecture program was a four-year program from its founding in 1914 through the 1927-1928 school year. Beginning in Autumn 1928 the program became five years long, however, it was shortened to four years during World War II, and then lengthened again after the war, and many students had their education interrupted by the war. During the 1930s, first quarter seniors would continue to complete projects designated as junior projects as part of the Architecture Design II class. Groupings of student work by year is based on the student's directory listing; projects completed out of cycle (e.g., a junior-level project in the senior year) are noted.
Student drawings produced by roughly 400 students (only a portion of those enrolled) at the University of Washington Department of Architecture, from its inception in 1914 until 1947, plus a small selection of analytique drawings on watercolor paper from the years 1953-1961. Drawings include assignments completed by Elizabeth Ayer, the first woman graduate of the program; Sam Wing Chinn, the first Asian-American graduate of the program; and Minoru Yamasaki, architect of the World Trade Center (destroyed) in New York City.
Many student drawings were not dated by the student. Drawings were assigned a circa date based on the student's enrollment dates, the place of each assignment in the curriculum (e.g., freshman lettering assignment, sophomore analytique, junior project, senior thesis design), and the completion of similar assignments by classmates in the collection that were dated by the student.
The collected assignments were judged to be especially meritorious by the Department of Architecture's faculty at the time of completion and several have been marked with a "Retained" stamp. As such, the list of students represented in this collection is not a complete list of students who attended the Department of Architecture between 1914 and 1961. Additional drawings have been donated by alumni of the program.
Drawings typically follow the curriculum described in the historical note: freshman drawing exercises completed during the intensive drawing studio include measured drawings, lettering exercises, and basic analytiques; sophomore-level projects were typically completed during the Architectural Design 1 design studio; junior-level projects were completed during the Architectural Design 2 studio class or in the architectural ornamentation class typically undertaken in the junior year; and senior- and fifth- year projects, including design/thesis drawings, were part of the Architectural Design 3 design studio. Drawings completed between 1916 and 1932, when the Department of Architecture followed the Beaux Arts Institute of Design (BAID) programmes, have been stamped with a Society of Beaux Arts stamp where noted, indicating that the drawing was juried at the national competition in New York.
When the Department of Architecture converted to Modernism and a pedagogy based on that of the Bauhaus in the 1947-1948 school year, design problems began to be presented on illustration board; these drawings are not included with the items in this collection and have been retained by the Department of Architecture. In 1953, the department reinstated a watercolor wash (analytique) problem during the Junior year that was offered until 1961; these analytiques, on watercolor paper, are included in this collection.

Alternate name: Allen Kichio Arai.
Allen Kichio Arai received his B.Arch from the University of Washington in 1925 and his M.Arch from Harvard University in 1930. He was likely the first native Asian-American in Seattle to design buildings under his own name.
Following his graduation from the University of Washington, Arai worked as a designer for Shack, Young, & Meyers, Architects, 1925-1929, where he designed his first independent building, the Nichiren Buddhist Church in Seattle, 1928-29. He left Seattle to pursue his graduate studies at Harvard, returning to Seattle during the Great Depression where he played semi-professional baseball. During this time, he took a small number of architectural jobs, including the design of the Yakima Buddhist Bussei Kaikan in Wapato, 1936-1941. In 1940, he received a commission to design the First Seattle Buddhist Church replacement, 1940-1941, after the original church was condemed as part of the Yesler Terrace Housing Project. Shortly after the building's completion, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and Arai was forcibly relocated from the West Coast with his family to the Japanese internment camp at Minidoka.
Arai returned to Seattle with his family in 1947, where he worked as an associate with Naramore, Bain, Brady & Johanson and later Durham, Anderson & Freed. He later took up work with the Olympian Stone Company and Fentron Industries. During these years, he designed two commissions as Richard O. Parker and A. K. Arai, Associate: the White River Buddhist Temple in Auburn, 1963-1965; and the Shinran Shonin 700th Anniversary Memorial Hall addition to the Seattle Buddhist Church, 1963-1964.

Elizabeth Ayer studied at the Department of Architecture from 1916 until 1921 when she received her B.Arch as the first woman graduate of the program. She was the third place recipient of the Kellogg Prize awarded by the Department of Architecture in 1919-1920, and the first place recipient of the Kellogg Prize in 1920-1921. Following graduation, she worked for Seattle architect Andrew Willatsen, before being hired by Ivey & Riley, Architects. Ivey & Riley dissolved that year, however, and Ayer continued to work for Edwin Ivey, who became her mentor and major architectural influence. She took two leaves of absence to work in New York City with Cross & Cross, 1922; and to study European architecture abroad in 1927. After returning to the US, she continued work with the firm of Edwin Ivey, Architect, designing upscale homes in Seattle.
After Edwin Ivey's sudden death in 1940, Ayer continued working under his firm's name with colleague Rolland Lamping. During World War II, both Ayer and Lamping served as architects for the U.S. Engineers Office and after the War let out, the two established the partnership of Ayer & Lamping, Architects, where they focused primarily on residential design until Ayer's retirement in 1970.
Notable projects include the Davis House on Mercer Island, 1950; the Douds House, 1951; the Linden House on Bainbridge Island, 1962; and the Forland House in Seattle, 1963. In 1980, Elizabeth Ayer was honored by the Seattle Chapter of the AIA for her dedicated service as a pioneering female architect.
