Our Work
It starts with a question. An idea. An impossible challenge. It evolves through collaboration, critical and creating thinking, community input. We’re inspired by the past—we design, we plan and we work towards a common future. This is the research, practice and work of our community. See what we can do.

Faculty Research
Our faculty research tackles challenges in transportation, housing, water quality, heritage preservation, building tech and the most pressing challenges of our built environment.

Professional Practice
From award-winning architects to forward-thinking planners and developers, more than 60% of our faculty actively shape the built environment beyond campus.

Student Work
From client-based studios to national stages, our students create imaginative, sustainable work that uplifts culture and transforms communities.
