archawai‘i || SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

Architectural education at the University of Hawai‘i began in 1946 with a Pre-Architecture Program offered in the College of Applied Science. In 1965, Pre-Architecture was changed to a four-year program B.A. in Pre-Architecture. In 1967, the Department of Art became the Department of Art and Architecture, and the B.A. was replaced by a B.F.A. in Environmental Design. In 1969, a new Department of Architecture was formed within the Colleges of Arts and Sciences. A Master of Architecture Program was approved in 1971 with emphasis in Design Technology, Urban/Regional Design, and Tropical Development Studies; the program received initial accreditation by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) in 1972.

The Department of Architecture was reorganized in 1976 and a Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) degree was developed. The program was accredited by the NAAB in 1978, and in 1980, the School conferred the first B.Arch. degree.

The School of Architecture (archawai‘i) was established in 1980 led by Dean Elmer Botsai. Raymond Yeh, assumed the deanship in 1993. The School's present building was completed in 1994. In 1996, the School received full-term NAAB reaccreditation for its existing B. Arch. first professional degree and its M.Arch. first professional degree.

In 1999, a seven-year, 212-credit first professional Architecture Doctorate (Arch.D.) degree program was approved by the University Board of Regents to replace the existing M.Arch. and B.Arch. degree programs. In 2004 the program was accredited by the NAAB. The School was the first in the nation to offer an accredited professional architecture doctoral degree. In 2008 at the request of the NAAB, the School changed the title of the degree from Arch. D. to Doctor of Architecture (D.Arch.). Clark Llewellyn assumed the deanship in the summer of 2007.

The School has 16 full-time faculty and approximately 60 part-time adjunct, lecturer, and affiliate faculty. There is a diverse student body of approximately 280 students. The School is the only U.S. school of architecture in the middle of the Pacific region and the only school of architecture in the nation where a majority of the student body consists of Asian and Pacific Islander minority groups. The School of Architecture (archawai‘i) has had more than 1,400 graduates since its beginning. The School has developed a reputation for its strong connections to Hawai‘i and the Asia Pacific region, and its integration of theory and practice.

The NAAB establishes performance criteria to help accredited degree programs prepare students for the profession while encouraging educational practices suited to the individual degree program. In addition to assessing whether student performance meets the professional criteria, the visiting team will assess performance in relation to the school's stated curricular goals and content. While the NAAB stipulates the student performance criteria that must be met, it specifies neither the educational format nor the form of student work that may serve as evidence of having met these criteria. Programs are encouraged to develop unique learning and teaching strategies, methods, and materials to satisfy these criteria. The NAAB encourages innovative methods for satisfying the criteria, provided the school has a formal evaluation process for assessing student achievement of these criteria and documenting the results.

awards + scholarships || AWARDS

ALPHA RHO CHI MEDAL, NATIONAL PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL FRATERNITY AWARD || Since 1914, Alpha Rho Chi, the National Professional Fraternity for Architecture and the Allied Arts, has promoted the profession of architecture by encouraging students to excel. To honor their achievements, the Alpha Rho Chi Medal is offered each year to over one hundred schools of architecture, whose faculty select a graduating senior they feel best exemplifies these qualities.

In 1931, the Grand Council of Alpha Rho Chi established the Alpha Rho Chi Medal to "encourage professional leadership by rewarding student accomplishment." The Fraternity provides the medal to selected schools of architecture throughout the country to be awarded to the graduating senior who has shown an affinity for leadership, performed willing service for the school or department, and gives promise of real professional merit through his or her attitude and personality. The Alpha Rho Chi Medal is awarded annually to a graduating senior at each NAAB accredited school of architecture, and schools where Alpha Rho Chi chapters exist, and is judged by the faculty of that school of architecture as best exemplifying these qualities.

The members of Alpha Rho Chi firmly believe strong leaders are just as essential as strong designers to the architectural professions. It is vital to our efforts to produce individuals committed to public service, as well as individuals committed to maintaining Architecture and the Allied Arts as noble professions. We also assert that high scholastic achievement is not necessarily an accurate measure of leadership or service. The Medal commends students who show true professional merit beyond the design studio and their academic career.


HENRY ADAMS MEDAL + CERTIFICATE, AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS AWARD || Each year The American Institute of Architects awards an engraved medal and certificate of merit to the top-ranking graduating student in each architecture program accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board. A certificate of merit is awarded to the second-ranking graduating student. These awards are provided as part of the AIA/AAF Scholarship Program.

Formerly called "The School Medal", the program began in 1914 and was awarded for "general excellence in architecture throughout the four-year course to graduating students of architecture schools recognized by the Institute." The graduate was later presented with a copy of Mont St. Michel and Chartres, written by Henry Adams. The copyright of this book was later bequeathed to the Institute by the author.

The Henry Adams Fund was established in 1921 with royalties from the book sales. The fund was used to award a copy of the book "to draftsmen who cannot afford to buy it." The School Medal and Henry Adams book awards evolved into the Henry Adams Medal and Certificate Program. To date the program has honored thousands of students.

awards + scholarships || SCHOLARSHIPS

The number of available scholarships varies from year to year depending on the donors, some of whom do not offer their awards on a yearly basis.

The screening of scholarship applications will be based primarily on the quality of the written proposals and the degree to which the proposal aligns with the purpose of the scholarship. It is therefore of utmost importance that interested applicants communicate their goals, rationale and specific plans as clearly and thoroughly as possible in a thoughtful and well-written proposal. The strength of the applicant's portfolio, the applicant's academic history and financial need will also be carefully considered.

Students are encouraged to apply for multiple scholarships; however, a specific application must be submitted to each fund. Past scholarship recipients are eligible to reapply as long as they satisfy the published application requirements, however, if any two proposals of equal merit are under consideration, it is likely that award priority will be given to the applicant without previous support or opportunity.

Most applications are submitted and processed online through the STAR.


HONOLULU BLUEPRINT AND SUPPLIES (HONBLUE) GRANT || The purpose of this fund is to provide financial support to students who are enrolled in the Doctor of Architecture Program at archawai‘i and have demonstrated skill in design communications. Funds may be used either for costs associated with attendance (tuition, books, fees, etc.), or to conduct out of state studies and/or research. Applicants must be enrolled full-time as undergraduate or graduate students at archawai‘i and have a minimum GPA of 3.0 in architecture coursework.

CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS INSTITUTE SCHOLARSHIP FUND || The purpose of this fund is to assist students with travel, research expenses or other costs to support in the research of technology as applied to the built environment. Recipients must be enrolled full time as undergraduate/graduate students at archawai‘i. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 in architecture coursework and some degree of financial need. Recipient shall present his/her research in a one-hour program to the Honolulu Chapter CSI at a membership meeting.

DONALD G. DEER MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND || The purpose of this fund is to emphasize and reward community involvement and academic excellence by providing scholarships to students at archawai‘i. It is the donor's wish to recognize and encourage students with potential for future achievement as well as personal qualities of empathy, intellectual curiosity, integrity, motivation, and interpersonal communication skills as demonstrated through a record of community service and volunteerism. The recipient may also be eligible to apply for an internship opportunity with Bonded Materials Company. Applicants must be Hawai‘i residents enrolled full-time in upper-division undergraduate or graduate level coursework with at least a cumulative 3.0 GPA.

ALLEN R. JOHNSON – ROY C. KELLEY ARCHITECTURAL TRAVEL FUND || The purpose of the award is to encourage and assist students to conduct research off-shore and who are expected to "really get something out of the experience". The donors expressed a wish to see students enrich their understanding and appreciation of architecture through scholarly research and travel and that priority be given to students who have previously had only limited opportunities for travel. Research topics may deal with any aspect of architecture that a student wishes to study and the range of topics has purposely been left open to enable students to pursue research in areas of interest to them and to encourage maximum flexibility and creativity in developing a research proposal. Applicants must have completed the third year design studios at the time the award is distributed and must possess a min. GPA of 3.0 in architecture coursework. For this award, the recipient is required to report back to the school on the experience (such as a public presentation). ¾ of the award will be given before travel, the remaining ¼ will be given after the report.

SAM CHANG SCHOLARSHIP AT THE SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE || This scholarship was established to assist students at archawai‘i as participants in the international education opportunities. Applicants must be enrolled full-time at archawai‘i, must have a 3.0 GPA or higher in architecture coursework, and must be preparing to study abroad in the next academic year.

RICHARD MORRIS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP || The purpose of this fund is to assist graduate students in Practicum Studio with any costs related to practicum study, including but not limited to, transportation, travel, research, living expenses and tuition. Applicants must be enrolled full-time in Practicum Studio at archawai‘i in the next academic year and have a minimum 3.0 GPA in architecture coursework.

UMH SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE PRACTICUM FUND || The purpose of this fund is to provide financial assistance to students attending Practicum Studio, a major component of the Architectural Doctorate degree program that features learning in a leading architect's office. Applicants must be full-time students at archawai‘i who are attending Practicum Studios in the next academic year and have a minimum 3.0 GPA in Architecture coursework.

UH SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION SCHOLARSHIP || Applicants must be graduates from a Hawai‘i High School, full-time students at archawai‘i, and entering their second year in the program in the next fall semester. The successful applicant will demonstrate promise as a future architect through coursework and community involvement, and by maintaining a minimum 3.0 GPA.

AIA HONOLULU CHAPTER SCHOLARSHIP || Applicants must be full time students enrolled in a professional degree program accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board with at least two years completed in the program. Applications will require a portfolio, an essay, and a letter of recommendation from a faculty member of archawai‘i. Finalists will also have an in-person interview with the AIA Honolulu Chapter Scholarship Committee.

affiliation

ADVISORY COUNCIL
The primary purpose of the Advisory Council is to assist the School in shaping, refining, and achieving its vision, mission, and goals. The Advisory Council will additionally foster closer ties between the School and its stakeholders. To ensure this, the Advisory Council includes, but is not limited to, its alumni and leaders of industries, businesses and organizations that employ its graduates and collaborate with the School's research, education and outreach programs.

As part of a public university, the School does receive state-funded support. However, the School requires financial and in-kind support beyond these levels if it is to compete internationally with other architecture schools for students, faculty and professional recognition. The Advisory Council helps the School garner this support.

The Advisory Council facilitates the School's efforts in a number of specific ways:

A. ENGAGING THE COMMUNITY || The Advisory Council acts as a catalyst in bringing together individuals, organizations, institutions and businesses seeking greater understanding, collaboration, and involvement in higher education, who are capable of expanding opportunities in instruction, research, and outreach programs for the School.

B. ADVOCACY || The Advisory Council will advocate on behalf of the priorities of the School to university administration, Alumni, Industry, the Hawai‘i Legislature and other internal & external constituencies with which the School wishes to form relations.

C. FINANCIAL SUPPORT || Fundraising and advocacy are separate functions. The Advisory Council's role in fundraising should be one of endorsement, providing contacts, helping secure financial resources through personal support as well as identifying, cultivating, and soliciting prospective donors. There is an annual commitment of $1500 per member, plus an additional gift of $250 twice per year to support special projects.

Membership in the Advisory Council will be open to (invited) individuals who demonstrate a commitment to the School by assisting the School in building a strong reputation, assisting in reaching its goals and priorities, and demonstrating a commitment to the School through endorsement, annual giving, endowment support and other opportunities for the benefit of the School. The Advisory council shall consist of not more than sixty (60) active members and not less than fifteen (15) persons. Advisory Council members shall be invited by the Dean and confirmed by the council at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

development || SUPPORT THE SCHOOL

Private support is very important to archawai‘i. Many of our alumni & friends have made contributions to the school over the years. Private support to the Architecture Development Fund support research and travel scholarships; student activities; alumni events; computer lab; faculty development; distinguished/visiting lecture program; Asia Pacific Architecture Symposium; library, gallery, newsletter & outreach activities; and in some way have assisted ever facet of the school's education and service programs. There are many ways to support the School. All offer tax or estate-planning advantages that may be useful to donors.

OUTRIGHT GIFTS || An outright gift is a direct transfer of an asset to archawai‘i. Outright gifts may be made with cash, securities, stock, a life insurance policy, real estate and personal property. Gifts of this kind produce an even greater benefit to the donor because of capital gains tax savings.

PLANNED GIVING || In addition to outright giving, "planned giving" is an exciting way to fulfill philanthropic goals, because a "planned gift" provides not only a gift in support of archawai‘i but also multiple financial and tax benefits to the donor and his or her family. For example, a donor may transfer cash or property to the UH Foundation and, in return, receive fixed, lifetime income payments, provide fixed, lifetime income payments to a family member or friend, and enjoy a sizeable income tax deduction. After the passing of the donor(s), any remaining gift value will be used to benefit the University of Hawai‘i for a win-win-win gift!

For more information about supporting the School, please contact our gift officer, Harriet Cintron at 808.956.3594 or Harriet.Cintron@uhfoundation.org.

7. ORGANIZATION/COURSE OVERVIEW: Students enrolled in the D.Arch. Program are required to complete one Professional Studio (12 credits) and may elect to enroll in additional Professional Studio courses for up to 12 additional credits. Arch 547P Professional Studio – Practicum is one of three Professional Studios offered. Students are required to attend orientation sessions two semesters prior to placement in a Practicum Studio.

The Practicum integrates theory, practice, and research in a comprehensive manner in a professional office study environment. The term” professional” in this context is broadly defined, and it is a goal of the course to engage in a critique and an expansion of how professional design may be conceived and practiced now and in the future. Emphasis is given to developing the core skills of leadership, critical thinking and cultural understanding. The course is an important means of realizing the School’s Mission which states, “The School of Architecture offers a global collaborative approach to improving the built and natural environment founded on intellectual inquiry, creative problem solving, and outreach with a commitment to prominence in innovative architectural education, design excellence, sustainability, and research with a focus on Hawaii, the Pacific, and Asia.”

Students are placed in a professional office (“Practicum Firm”) that has experience working in the geographic and cultural milieu stated in the School’s Mission. Students may elect to accrue National Council of Architectural Registration Board (NCARB) Intern Development Program (IDP) academic credit simultaneously with academic credit.

Each student’s primary instructor (“Practicum Faculty”) is a practicing registered architect, a Practicum Firm principal who is an appointed SoA Adjunct Professor. He/she is required to provide the student access to the firm’s resources, client and management meetings and leadership exposure. Practicum Firm members designated by the Practicum Faculty as “Unit Mentors” guide the daily training and research tasks in the office. The Practicum Coordinator is the SoA instructor who assesses the student academic performance. The student’s responsibility is to initiate all work and engage the Practicum Faculty, Unit Mentors, and Practicum Coordinator in mutually-beneficial dialogue.

The focus of the Practicum course is multi-fold The student will 1) develop a research project in collaboration with the Practicum Faculty and Firm 2) undertake professional practice Competency Unit Assignments 3)engage in a semester long community service activity 4) record critical reflection in written Weekly Progress Reports and a daily Journal. 5) enjoy cultural activities in the city where the firm is located. Students are placed in firms to experience actual practice activities AND complete academic reflections beyond office hours as ‘homework’. Thus their role differs from that of a typical intern. It is highly recommended that the Practicum Faculty and student communicate such difference to members of the Practicum Firm.

8. ASSIGNMENTS:
(a) Proficiency Unit Assignments (Note: For the purpose of the course, Proficiency Units are equivalent to IDP Core Competencies.)

A minimum of thirty two (32) hours per week must be devoted to practical experience activities in the firm under the guidance of the Practicum Faculty and Unit Mentors. An additional minimum of thirty two (32) hours per week must be devoted to academic ‘homework’ to translate practical experience via critical thinking analysis into written reflections and research documentation.

The Practicum Firm’s need for flexibility must be balanced with the student’s need to engage meaningfully in the practice experience and related scholarly/research activities. Proficiency Units may be overlapped or combined, varied in the amount of time they are engaged (typically from one to three weeks), or offered in a different order, as determined by the Practicum Faculty in consultation with the student. *Please note that 14 Project Management, 15 Office Management, and 16 Professional and Community Service are required.

STUDIO AT THE BEACH!
This year AIAS Hawaii proudly hosted the 35th Annual Great Hawaiian Sandcastle Esquisse. The theme was a throwback to the original: Castles. With eighteen teams competing at Kailua Beach Park, the competition was fierce. There were six professional teams, including one team representing University of Hawaii at Manoa's very own faculty and staff from the school of architecture. The five award winning categories up for grabs were: Most Original, Best Use of Material, Structurally Challenging, Best Overall Student Team and Best Overall Professional Team. Although there were five categories, three teams managed to sweep the five categories. Most Original Castle went to team Brust'n composed of four second year studio-mates: Ryan Ching, Taylor Cook, Brandon Large and Justin Wong. Best Use of Material and Best Overall Student Castle was won by the Sand Beavers, a team comprised of only three students: Natalie Park, Mike Hill and Diane Buchwalder, all of whom have a non-pre-professional undergraduate degree and are currently enrolled in the first semester of the 3 1/2 yr. D. Arch. program at the University of Hawaii. The Structurally Challenging Award and Best Overall Professional Castle went to a rookie team from Layton Construction and Group 70 International, team members were Mike Cook, Dale Keep, Dawn Peterson and Jeff Peterson.

Following the competition, as always, there was plenty of food for all and waves and sunshine on the beach. There’s nothing quite like a day at the beach when you have practicing and aspiring architects working "hard" playing in the sand.

2nd PLACE AT URBAN SOS
Urban SOS is an annual student competition created to engage students in the fields of urban planning and design, architecture, landscape architecture and engineering with the issues confronting modern cities and to foster a cross-disciplinary approach to the complex challenges facing today's built and natural environments.

Water, the world's most vital resource, is central to every aspect of city life: from basic human sustenance and public health to environmental remediation and overall urban renewal. Water is the driving theme of this year's Urban SOS competition.

Finalists were invited to present their proposal in London on November 7, 2012. At this event it was Junghwa Suh, Chretien Macutay and Aarthi Padmanabhan of the University of Hawaii at Manoa that won second place for their JALA HUB proposal. The Urban SOS water competition is designed to engage and inspire students to address the preservation and management of water issues confronting the modern city and to encourage cross disciplinary solutions to these. Associate Professor Kazi Ashraf led the student team at the School of Architecture.

Clark Llewellyn, FAIA, Dean of the School of Architecture, said, “This is a well deserved honor for our students. They continually generate innovative ideas to solve design problems that impact the way people live, work and study, whether it is climate change or water as a scarce resource.” The School has developed a reputation for its strong connections to the Asia Pacific region and its integration of theory and practice. It is the only architectural school in the United States that offers a NAAB accredited Doctor of Architecture degree.

UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MANOA SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE STUDENT TEAM ANNOUNCED AS NATIONAL FINALIST FOR THE 2010 USGBC NATURAL TALENT DESIGN COMPETITION || Student Finalists' designs to be built into affordable LEED Platinum homes in New Orleans' Broadmoor neighborhood.

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has announced the student team "Greenboy Productions" from the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa School of Architecture as one of two student finalists to see their sustainable home designs come to life in New Orleans. The winning design team includes architecture students Frank Alsup, Sanphawat Jatupatwarangkul, Tuan Tran & Ramo Khem. Members of the team will travel to New Orleans to meet with local architects and community leaders of the Broadmoor District, as well as showcase their design at the 2010 USGBC Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Chicago. This marks the first year that a Hawai`i student team has participated in the national competition.

The USGBC Hawai`i Chapter, in collaboration with Stephen Meder at the University of Hawai‘i School of Architecture, hosted the local portion of the design competition during the Spring Semester of 2010. Meder, along with five local jurors with a diverse knowledge of sustainable design and construction carefully chose Greenboy Productions as the Hawai‘i representative to compete with over 360 design submissions.

Greenboy's design was selected nationally based on their innovative, affordable, ADA-compliant (American Disabilities Act), LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Platinum home, that demonstrated green building principles and will save the future homeowners money over the life-cycle of the home. The winning design maintained respect for the Broadmoor aesthetic and the opinion of the neighborhood as captured by the community vote, held earlier in the summer. To view their winning design, please visit: A Greenboy Production.
"The USGBC Hawai‘i Chapter congratulates and is honored to have the design team of Greenboy Productions chosen as a National Finalist. The group has such a great balance of passion, creativity, and the technical skills needed to design such a high performing home. It is great testament to the UH School of Architecture and the dedication of our student talent towards progressive design" said Jason Selley, USGBC Hawai`i Emerging Professionals & Students Chair.

The competition challenges teams of college and university students from across the United States and the world to create and operate solar-powered houses that are affordable, energy-efficient, and attractive.

The teamhawai‘i entry will include advancements in composite material, building-integrated concentrated photovoltaics, building-integrated radiant heating and cooling systems, and novel affordable home design for tropical climates like Hawai‘i. The team is led by faculty from the School of Architecture including Associate Professor David Rockwood and Assistant Professor Hyoung-June Park, faculty and staff from the College of Engineering including Assistant Professor David Garmire (Electrical Engineering), Associate Professor Weilin Qu (Mechanical Engineering) and Justin Akagi (Dean's Office), colleagues from Honolulu Community College including Dean Mark Silliman and Noel "Red" Griffiths-Seewerker, and industry professionals such as William Paluch (Eight Inc. and SoA Lecturer).

The first Solar Decathlon was held in 2002; the competition has since occurred biennially in 2005, 2007, and 2009, with the next event will taking place in fall 2011. Free and open to the public, visitors can tour the houses on the National Mall and learn how energy-saving features can help them save money and reduce their carbon footprint today. In 2009, the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Decathlon provided 307,502 house visits to the public over 10 days.

Applications for the 2011 competition went through a rigorous evaluation process by panels of engineers, scientists, experts from the Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, and professionals from the American Institute of Architects, National Association of Home Builders, the U.S. Green Building Council, building industry media, and the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers. Teams had to demonstrate the viability, efficiency, and innovation of their designs, as well as the ability to raise funds and assemble a team that would successfully complete the project.

teamhawai‘i now has 18 months to recruit the best and brightest students, manage the project across multiple departments, perform cutting-edge research, and construct a solar-powered house to compete in Washington, D.C. in Fall 2011. The University of Hawai`i will receive $100,000 from the Department of Energy to help defray expenses of building and transporting the house. The university is seeking donations of professional expertise, materials, and funds. Those interested in donating or otherwise being involved in the project, please contact:

A CHINATOWN MULTI-MEDIA EXHIBITION || Chinatown Presents Futures, a multi-media installation at Honolulu Culture & Arts District / Small Business Resource Center, 1041 Nu'uanu Ave., Suite A, opens on First Friday, May 7th, from 4:00 to 9:00 pm. The exhibit will remain open for public viewing from May 10 to 14, 3:00 - 7:00 pm (Not open Saturday and Sunday).

As part of a semester-long urban design studio, the graduate students at archawai‘i researched "Chinatown" and used it as a laboratory for understanding ways of interpreting the city, and making thoughtful propositions for selected areas. The investigation culminates in Chinatown Presents Futures, a multi-level exhibition that examines Chinatown as a unique urban phenomenon and offers ways of generating new futures.

Participants from archawai‘i include: Camryn Bonifacio, Keng Chua, Kloe Kang, Mary Kodama, Noryn Lau, Biwen Li, Austin Poe, Jason Takeuchi, Allysa Taylor, Yukihiro Yamaguchi and instructors Kazi Ashraf and Cathi Ho.
Accompanying Exhibition: "Honolulu 2050"
Another architectural design project from archawai‘i -- Honolulu 2050 -- will accompany this exhibition. Honolulu 2050 investigates dense urban living in Honolulu in the context of a 2050 future scenario. The design project proposes altered urban patterns assuming increased world population and a tripling of current Honolulu population, sea level rise and climate change, forces of globalism and increased transience, practice of ecological responsibility, implementation of alternate transportation modes, redefinition of public and private domains, among other things.

Participants from archawai‘i include Alana Aviel, David Cook, Ramo Khem, Corry Mabry, John Manuia, Heather Munoz. Logan Saldivar, Sofija Stanic, Tuan Tran, Takao Ugai, Lori Walker, and instructor, David Rockwood.
