Not only are they responsible for overseeing an institution's administrative affairs, but they are also charged with fostering environments for students and faculty to thrive.</p>
<p>Since 2013, <a href="https://archinect.com/features/tag/378110/deans-list" target="_blank">Archinect's Deans List series</a> has provided in-depth conversations with architecture and design leaders (Deans and Department Chairs), giving us invaluable perspective on their pedagogical stances, the institution’s curriculum, and academic environment. For this <a href="https://archinect.com/features/tag/378110/deans-list" target="_blank">Deans List</a> interview, I chatted with Mariana Ibañez, Associate Professor and Chair of <a href="https://archinect.com/uclaaud" target="_blank">UCLA's Department of Architecture and Urban Design</a>.</p>
