Our students and faculty are developing the knowledge and skills to address complex contemporary issues regarding:

• stewardship of scarce resources
• promotion of livability in cities
• mitigation of the impacts of poverty through provision of humane housing
• research and development of ecologically- responsive building materials and integrated building systems
• understanding history as a means of creating a better future

Every day in our studios and in our seminars we are pushing the boundaries framing the meaning of Good Design. We seek to know what it means to be an effective, responsible architect in the context of the contemporary world, and we intend for our work to take us there.
