Architecture Division Director Stephanie Pilat recently published an article in the Journal of Architectural Education advocating for academic ranking metrics to recognize faculty work in architecture.
The National Research Council, the leading body for measuring faculty accomplishments, currently counts over 1,300 different awards in academia. Architecture awards from ARCC, AIA, EDRA, and ACSA are, however, entirely absent from the NRC and other lists. Not even the Pritzker Prize, the profession’s highest honor, is counted. Pilat’s article, “Measure What You Treasure: Elevating the Work of Architects in the Academy,” addresses this phenomenon and offers a path forward.
The Christopher C. Gibbs College of Architecture announces John Harris as Associate Dean for Research ad interim, effective Aug. 25, 2026, until the permanent position is filled.
Gibbs College is pleased to announce the 2026 Gibbs College Faculty & Staff Awards recipients. These individuals were recognized by Dean Butzer during the Gibbs College Back to School Meeting and will be honored during the Celebration Banquet in October. They were nominated by their colleagues via an open nomination process.
Telesis, the Gibbs College of Architecture’s student journal, has been awarded a grant from the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts to support its next two issues, “Pause” (Volume IX) and “React” (Volume X).
