Architecture Students Honored

Architecture students Sarah Salem and the Freedom by Design Team were last night awarded the top honor in ‘Temple Heroes’, a Temple wide competition to honor students making a difference in the neighbouring community. Freedom by Design is a national American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS) initiative to define, design and implement a project to make the life / lives of a person/s with a physical disability easier and more dignified. All the proceeds from a silent auction held last night will go towards Freedom by Design. This will enable the team to move forward with their first design-build project. Congratulations to all!

Tyler professor’s work adorns Walnut Street window
Tuesday, March 17, 2009

CONTACT: Kim Fischer 215-204-7479

In honor of the Philadelphia Flower Show, Martha Madigan, professor and chair of the Photography Department at Tyler School of Art, created 20-foot-high murals from her “Botanical Portraits” series to adorn the Walnut Street windows of the Joan Shepp boutique.
The colossal “Botanical Portraits” are archival inkject images on silk made from solar photograms. According to Madigan, the direct solar photograms employ human scale plant forms as subject matter to express a powerful and vital energy. “The plants in this body of work are chosen for both their scale relationships and healing properties for the human condition,” she said.

The “Botanical Portraits” reflect Madigan’s wide use of media throughout photography’s history, from the earliest cyanotype process to the latest techniques in digital color photography. Bamboo, lilies and wildflowers are just some of the objects she explores with her camera. Her work is exhibited internationally, and is collected by museums such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago as well as private collectors.

Temple TUr door shuttle service

Temple University introduces a new “to your door” (TUr door) shuttle service, transporting students from Main Campus to their off-campus residences in surrounding neighborhoods.

TUr door shuttle services will operate from 5:30 p.m. to 6 a.m., departing from the transportation hub, located at 12th and Berks streets. The TUr door shuttle will provide direct service to your door within a set geographical area and: 

• Will provide transportation to any students who live outside the OWLoop area.
• Will extend current OWLoop transportation west beyond 15th Street to 20th Street and east beyond 9th Street to 5th Street.
• Will also enhance service to areas south from Jefferson Street to Girard Avenue, and north from Diamond Street to Cumberland Street.

Buses will depart the transportation hub at least every half hour. Buses will not pick up students along route: all travelers must board at the transportation hub.

The OWLoop should be used by students who seek transportation on or near campus. OWLoop will run in a constant loop around campus from 5:30 p.m. to 6 a.m. This route will include all important points in the immediate vicinity of Main Campus from 9th Street to 16th Street, and Susquehanna south to Jefferson Street. OWLoop will stop near all university-sponsored facilities and residential halls. Depending on traffic and other conditions, shuttles will be at their stops approximately every 15 minutes during the hours of operation both fall and spring semesters.

A map showing the two shuttle services areas for OWLoop and TUr door can be found on the Facilities Management web site. For more information, call Facilities Management at 215-204-7377, or visit http://www.temple.edu/facilities/shuttles.html for a map and schedule.
