University of Minnesota School of Architecture
practices.
The University of Minnesota School of Architecture is uniquely situated in the heart of a major metropolitan center, the Twin Cities, and is part of one of the country’s oldest land grant institutions. As such, it benefits tremendously from a vibrant and talented pool of professional architecture firms, many of which are recognized nationally and internationally through prestigious awards. The design culture of the Twin Cities is unparalleled. To name just a few, firms here have been awarded the National AIA Firm of the Year Award, the American Academy of Arts and Letters Architecture Award, local and national AIA Honor Awards, Architecture magazine’s Annual Design Review Awards and Annual Research and Development Awards, AIA Minnesota Gold Medal Awards, and AIA Committee on the Environment (COTE) Awards. The School of Architecture enthusiastically embraces this tremendous design talent—few programs in the country benefit from as exceptional and generous group of professionals as the University of Minnesota’s. Approximately one-half of our courses are taught by professionals who serve as adjunct faculty, tirelessly giving their time, energy, and expertise to the education of our students. Students in the school learn about real-world challenges that architects face on daily basis and benefit continually from their mentorship, advice, and knowledge. Other practicing architects in the region often attend studio reviews and bring their extensive experience to bear on the evaluation of student work. In this booklet, we give the names of practitioners, listed by firm, who have taught in our programs over the past several years, followed by a sampling of the firms’ award-winning work.
