Roland Gommel Roessner received his bachelor of architecture degree from Miami University,
Oxford, Ohio, in 1935 and his master's from the University of Cincinnati in 1942. After
serving in World War II, Roessner practiced in St. Petersburg, Florida, before joining the
faculty of the University of Texas School of Architecture (UTSOA) in 1948. Roessner, who
successfully combined teaching with a professional career, realized the importance of
integrating practical experience with a strong theoretical foundation. He was responsible
for establishing the school's Professional Residency Program, which provided the students
with on-the-job training within the profession before the completion of their degrees.
Roessner's early use of computers to augment teaching included a project for teaching
management processes in architecture.
Roessner's ability to create spaces that preserved the client's privacy while maintaining
an openness in plan garnered for him numerous design awards. His graceful design for the
George Thorne House (1953) received Newsweek 's 1955 House of
the Year Award. His talent for flexible planning on restricted sites is perhaps best
illustrated by The Oaks Apartments (1962) which provided each apartment, grouped around an
intimate, secluded courtyard, with its own private balcony and view. This sensitive project,
which carefully preserved the site's beautiful oak trees, received an AIA Award of Merit in
1965. Roessner's other projects included the Foster Residence (1963), the RGK Foundation
Building (1980), and the Southwestern Bell Telephone Building in Corpus Christi (1981).
Roessner was named professor emeritus in 1983 and an endowed Centennial Professorship was
established in his name at the University of Texas at Austin. He is an AIA Fellow.

A resume, published articles, brochures, magazines, slides, and architectural drawings
highlight both the academic and architectural design careers of Roland Gommel Roessner. A
History of Austin Architects and Architecture: 1934-1986 and
one unidentified photograph are also contained in this record group.
The brochures demonstrate Roessner's participation in state-wide exhibits and academic
programs at the University of Texas School of Architecture. One firm brochure of the Oaks
Apartments concludes this series. Magazines (1954-1987, with gaps) illustrate Roessner's
residential work in Austin. The bulk of the material consists of 35 mm slides of private
residences, apartments, businesses, and some floor plans which Roessner designed. The images
are identified using the resident owner's name; they are not dated (see series list).
Roessner disposed of most of his older drawings by returning them to his clients. The
collection does include architectural drawings for three Austin residences designed by
Roessner.
Roessner's most extensive written work, Architect Client: An
Experiment in Computer-Augmented Teaching of Architecture Management (ca. 1968) was
co-authored by Thomas E. Burke, a research associate at the College of Business
Administration at the University of Texas at Austin. The publication contains the results of
a project, begun in 1965, focusing on the development of a computer program to introduce
prospective clients to the various phases and decisions related to residential design and
construction.
Added to the collection in December 1992: Series H contains the contents of seventeen
scrapbooks. The material was removed from the scrapbooks and photo albums and rehoused in
mylar sleeves and acid free folders. Six of the notebooks contained portfolios from
different stages of Roessner's career (1955-1983), highlighting an assortment of projects.
Three albums contained clippings, photographs and contest entry forms concerning design
awards which Roessner won.
Two albums were dedicated to the Roland Gommel Roessner Centennial Professorship in
Architecture which was established in 1983. Photographs were from the luncheon held in his
honor; clippings, letters and brochures give further information about the award. Two
notebooks contained photographs of Roessner's early work (1935-1942); most of the buildings
are unidentified. Two notebooks were filled with newspaper and magazine clippings
(1946-1980). One notebook was dedicated solely to the RGK Foundation Building. One scrapbook
contained a varied assortment of photographs of people.

Series Abstract |
|
|
|
The Drawings Series consists of 28 drawings and 10 pages of specifiations for three
residential projects in Austin, Texas by R. Gommel Roessner. Although only one set of
drawings contains date information, all projects appear to date from the 1950s. |
|
|
|
Entries in the Drawings Series are indexed in alphabetical order by Client's name. If
the client is not identifiable, the field will remain blank. Entries without client
names are sorted by Project Name and listed before those that provide client's names.
Furthermore, similar projects are sorted in chronological order by date. Project names
are supplied by the cataloger, as title blocks on the drawings prove to be
inconsistent and many drawings are not labeled. Project names may also have been
adjusted to accommodate alphabetical sorting. Dates are offered if they can be derived
from the drawings or gathered from other authoritative sources. The term "drawing"
includes both original works (such as pencil on trace paper, or ink on tracing cloth)
as well as copies (such as sepia prints, blue line prints, etc.). |
