Programs: 2004, Past Programs, Associations
Every year, selected students are challenged to express and explore their creativity. Student backgrounds are inclusive of numerous art forms, such as architecture, interior, commercial and graphic design. Using the Enkeboll tradition of woodcarving, students test new materials and themes. The process encourages students to transform their imagination into actual creations.
2004
Design Triangle
After the completion of a series of programs, members of the Enkeboll Foundation of Arts and Architecture observed subtle similarities in the work of participating students. Although the sponsored universities established separate projects and completed them in different areas across the nation without cross communication, the students’ work demonstrated an artistic connection that transcended location.
This finding, serves as the background for 2004’s program. In exploring this connection, the Foundation sponsored three universities to participate in the Design Triangle.
Unlike past programs, the Design Triangle, made up of Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh; North Carolina State University, Raleigh, and their affiliate university, Henry van de Velde instituut, Antwerp; ventured into one interdisciplinary and international project together to explore the portability of an individual's personal space.
Participating schools were challenged to create “A Room in a Room.” A Room in a Room
Project Goal:
“As an intercultural, interdisciplinary, academic, and industrial immersion, the program is intended to foster sensitivity to the diversity of people’s ideas, values and beliefs. With a heightened multi-cultural awareness, we will be able to freely explore ideas and to envision ourselves as multidisciplinary thinkers and learners; express ideas clearly in a variety of media and circumstances; develop, attract and ultimately affect diverse audiences, and explore various professional, cultural, and social contexts as they relate to personal and collective goals.” -Room in a Room
The project was designed to draw a parallel relationship between designing a room and furniture. The goal was to design a space that can be moved with an individual from one place to another, creating a sense of stability and familiarity. The project challenged students to combine interior, industrial and commercial design, as well as architecture and production.
Student teams from each institution worked together to create their own solution to the "Room in a Room" theme. Each team traveled to the other participating institutions to present their work and share their expertise. The process of critiquing the work of other teams and presenting their own work provided students with the opportunity to see the proposals from alternative perspectives, challenging them to incorporate new ideas.

Methods and Transformations in Space
First Year Architecture Design Studio, Spring Semester
Incorporating the art of woodcarving, students under the guidance of Laura Lee, AIA, studied “methods and transformations in space.”
The Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture has a long tradition in the spring semester of the first year studio to study full-scale furniture design and construction. Although project types vary, the goals remain consistent. For first year students, the experience of “integrated design” from conception to finished product is intended to help students “gain a better understanding of human factors; learn about the relationship between form and material; realize design as a process and sequence of construction; learn the innate value of good craftsmanship and most importantly, experience the joy of making.”

The Department of Architecture and Urban Design received a gift of $30,000 from the Enkeboll Foundation for the Arts and Architecture in memory of Raymond Enkeboll, founder of Raymond Enkeboll Designs. The funds provide scholarship support for students with exceptional promise who demonstrate financial need.
The scholarships reflect the mission of the Foundation, which was established by Enkeboll in 1994 and is now headed by his son, Stephen. The gift will make a significant difference in the level of support offered to students in the department. UCLA,

Arch Voices—National Summit on Architectural Internship
The 2002 National Summit on Architectural Internship was spearheaded and coordinated by ArchVoices to advance the recommendations of the 1999 Collateral Internship Summit and its follow-up efforts. The Summit was made possible by a generous grant from the Enkeboll Foundation for the Arts & Architecture. The 55 Summit attendees, including representatives of six national membership organizations, voted formally on four broad issues:
- To reaffirm support for the nine 2001 Collateral Internship Task Force recommendations;
- To encourage the evolution of the “Intern Development Program” into a true “Professional Development Program”;
- To affirm the need for regular and comprehensive evaluations of the internship process;
- To support the efforts of the California Architects Board to formulate a comprehensive intern development program.
A number of other specific ideas were also formulated throughout the course of the event and have been disseminated to the various groups for consideration. Other follow-up efforts continue. Arch Voices, www.archvoices.org
