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 is pleased to announce that Dr. Tamar Zinguer, Associate Professor of Architecture, has been selected to participate in the prestigious 2026 Summer Residency at the National Humanities Center (NHC).
Tanvin Mahtub Fariha, a first-year Master of Landscape Architecture student in the Gibbs College of Architecture and a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Division of Planning, Landscape Architecture and Design, has earned recognition for her work.
A team of Construction Science and Architecture students from the Gibbs College of Architecture made their mark on the national stage this week, earning third place out of 37 universities competing at the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Student Competition, held during the International Builders' Show in Orlando, February 16-18, 2026.
