Abstract:
The A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning (TCAUP) was established (as the College of Architecture) in 1931. However, courses in architecture have been offered at the University of Michigan since 1876, and a department of architecture, formed in 1913, preceded the creation of the college. Since its formation, TCAUP has offered courses and programs in several areas, including landscape architecture, urban planning, urban design, real estate, and, of course, architecture. This collection in Deep Blue currently contains images from the October 13, 1999 ceremony in which the college was named in honor of an endowment provided by A. Alfred Taubman as well as various publications from the college and associated units.
