What's Happening...

U.S. News & World Report ranks UC No. 4 for Co-ops

...And No.1 for co-op among public universities. “Our university’s connection to co-op is truly special,” says UC President Neville G. Pinto. “Not only did UC give birth to the concept 116 years ago, but we’ve built it into an incredible strength and advantage for thousands of our students who make irreplaceable connections with employers locally, across the nation, and around the world.”
Cooperative education was invented at the University of Cincinnati in 1906 and has been a signature component of the architecture program since its inception in 1927. The Architecture program at UC was one of the first programs accredited by the NAAB, in 1947.

Peter Yi

Lecture 10/19/2022
4:30 PM, DAAP Room 5401


De Peter Yi has joined the School of Architecture and Interior Design at DAAP as a new tenure-track Assistant Professor. His work finds design agency at the intersection of the social and the formal, from the scale of material details to the scale of the urban environment and beyond. Yi's long term research focuses on alternative models for housing, driven by its relationship to urban and environmental systems, building technologies, and modes of communication. He is the author of Building Subjects, a book that questions the dominant Western narrative on modern housing through the lens of collectively-adapted living structures in China. Currently, he is cultivating a research project called Moving Rooms, a study of the evolving relationship between the private room and urban space through marginalized housing typologies.

Lecture 10/26/2022
4:30 PM, DAAP Room 5401


Jennifer Bonner is an Associate Professor of Architecture at Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Bonner founded MALL in 2009, a creative practice that stands for Mass Architectural Loopty Loops or Maximum Arches with Limited Liability—an acronym with built-in flexibility.

Kiel Moe, FAIA, FAAR (UC B.Arch 2001)

Lecture 11/02/2022
4:30 PM, DAAP Room 5401


Kiel Moe is a registered practicing architect who graduated from SAID with his B-Arch is 2001. His research and pedagogy focuses on an agenda for design and energy that is at once more ecologically and architecturally ambitious. As such, he focuses on both buildings as manifestations of large scale energy systems as well as overlooked and discrete thermal parameters in buildings that yet have great impact on the power and thermodynamic depth of architecture. This research is the basis for his design research and his design practice. In recognition of his design and research, he was the 2009-10 Gorham P. Stevens Rome Prize Fellow in Architecture as well as the 2012 & 2014 Barbara and Andrew Senchak Fellow MacDowell Colony. He received the 2013 Boston Design Biennial award, the 2011 Architecture League of New York Prize, the 2011 AIA National Young Architect award, and numerous design awards for individual projects from the AIA, North American Wood Design Awards, and Boston Society of Architects, among others.
