Erin Cuevas is the Syracuse University 2024-25 Harry der Boghosian Fellow

2024-09-03T15:49:00-04:00

The Syracuse University School of Architecture will host Erin Cuevas as the 2024-25 Harry der Boghosian Fellow. Cuevas, who follows Christina Chi Zhang as the ninth fellow in the program history, will have the opportunity to teach a studio and two professional electives this year with a focus on mixed media design and her research project ‘Redefining Performance.’

Cuevas says: "The Boghosian Fellowship is an opportunity for me to expand the traditional architectural discipline through a unique and highly personal concert of elements — dance, architecture, storytelling and creative technology."

A participatory public performance will culminate her research, engaging the whole Syracuse community in an act of what she calls 'collective scenography.' Prior to joining the faculty in Syracuse, Cuevas worked as a director of global retail story design at Nike after teaching at the USC School of Architecture from 2017 to 2022.

Syracuse School of Architecture, SUNY-ESF researchers receive $100,000 grant to study the racial wealth gap in the United States

2023-07-27T15:13:00-04:00

A trio of researchers from the Syracuse University School of Architecture and the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY-ESF) have been awarded a new $100,000 competitive grant for their examination of root causes laden in the built environment that are underpinning the growing racial wealth gap in the United States.

Syracuse’s Associate Dean for Research, Eliana Abu-Hamdi, Associate Professor Iman Fayyad, and SUNY-ESF landscape architecture assistant professor Daniel Cronan were recently awarded the grant for their project “Closing the Racial Wealth Gap through Environmental Justice and Participatory Design.”

The funding was made possible through the Lender Center for Social Justice. Researchers say it will help them achieve their project’s aim of identifying a list of positive changes that can be enacted in the most heavily-impacted communities. The research is being conducted in three phases and will result in BIM-supported participatory planning that demonstra...

Syracuse University names Leen Katrib the 2021-22 Harry der Boghosian Fellow

2021-05-07T12:20:00-04:00

Established in 2015, the Harry der Boghosian Fellowship is a one-of-a-kind program initiated by Syracuse University. The program provides emerging faculty members and designers early in their careers the opportunity to spend a year "developing a body of design research based on an area of interest while teaching at the School of Architecture."

Created in memory of Harry der Boghosian '54 by his sister Paula der Boghosian '64, this year's Fellow is architectural designer Leen Katrib. Born in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, Katrib received her Bachelor of Architecture degree with honors from the University of Southern California and earned her M.Arch from Princeton University. She has worked for architectural practices such as Marvel, LTL Architects (Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis), McEwen Studio, Peter Marino Architect, and OMA. In addition to the Harry der Boghosian Fellowship, she is also the recipient of the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, the George H. Mayr Travel Fellow,...

Syracuse University's Lawrence Chua named among 34 Getty Scholar grantees

2020-06-08T18:16:00-04:00

Lawrence Chua, an assistant professor at the Syracuse University School of Architecture, has been awarded a 2020-21 Getty Scholar Grant from the Getty Research Institute (GRI) to study "transregional histories of utopia and the architecture and urban culture of southeast Asia."

According to the Syracuse University News, this year's research cohort is focused on pursuing investigations that seek to deepen scholarly efforts around the topic of "the fragment" and are set to focus on objects of study that remain in less-than-whole forms. The research also considers intact art and cultural objects as "fragments" of the larger cultures that generated these items. The Syracuse website states, "Incoming Getty Scholars are invited to address both the creation and reception of fragments, their mutability and mobility, and their valuation and consequence throughout history."

Syracuse University names Liang Wang as Boghosian Fellow for 2020

2020-05-04T18:57:00-04:00

Architect and urban designer Liang Wang has been selected by Syracuse University as the 2020-21 Harry der Boghosian Fellow.

The fellowship will take Liang from Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he is a current Doctor of Design candidate at Harvard University, to the Syracuse University School of Architecture, where he will teach one studio and two professional electives. Wang's research focus is situated around the history and theory of urban form, space, and politics within the realm of superblock development and the "architecture and idea of the city in East Asia," according to a press release.

Previously on Archinect: "Fellow Fellows: Destabilizing Context with James Leng." Image courtesy of James Leng.

Regarding Wang's selection, Michael Speaks, dean of the School of Architecture, writes, “Wang, whose research parallels that currently being developed by several of our faculty, is truly groundbreaking and will certainly augment and complement the work completed by past fellows. We...

Professor Kermit Lee Jr., Syracuse School of Architecture's first black graduate, honored in student organized exhibition

2020-03-03T11:34:00-05:00

Kermit Lee Jr., died in 2018 and was the first Black graduate of Syracuse University’s School of Architecture. In dedication, Syracuse’s National Organization of Minority Architecture Students chapter created an exhibit honoring his legacy and named it “The Living Room Conversation: In Memory of Professor Kermit J. Lee Jr.”

Curated by architecture students Benson Joseph and Parinda Pin Sangkaeo, The Living Room Conversation features Professor Lee's drawings from his time as a student and further chronicles his life and legacy. According to The Daily Orange, the exhibition was split into four parts, each a different season in Lee's life: student, teacher, architect, and person.

Kermit Lee Jr. in Braunschweig, 1960

"Students really captured him and understood a man I don’t think any of them have met," said Karin Lee George, Professor Lee's daughter. "He’d be grinning."

Two Syracuse Architecture Faculty Members Think "Glocal" as School Launches New Design | Energy | Futures MS Concentration

2015-12-22T09:00:00-05:00

This post is brought to you by Syracuse Architecture.

Exciting things are happening at Syracuse Architecture as the School gears up to launch a brand new three-pronged area of study within its post-professional Master of Science (MS) in Architecture. The new curriculum DESIGN | ENERGY | FUTURES is a concentrated research program focused on energy and the built environment, with opportunities for research and the creation of design projects ranging across a variety of scales—from urban design to high performance buildings, from landscape urbanism to building material research and product design. DESIGN | ENERGY | FUTURES will also explore a range of disciplinary and practice areas including adaptive re-use, real estate development and urban planning.

Syracuse's DESIGN | ENERGY | FUTURES strand launches fall 2016, and will require registered students to complete 30 credit hours, typically over the course of three semesters, one of which may be spent in residence at one the School’s cen...

Syracuse University student and faculty work: a review of Trans(inter)ference

2015-07-23T19:11:00-04:00

What is iconic in architecture? It's a debate that will never be settled precisely because the definition of "icon" is perennially changing to reflect the culture from which it derives. An icon, after all, is not necessarily a classic, and this inherent tension is partly what fuels Trans(inter)ference, an installation designed by Maya Alam in collaboration with Daniele Profeta and three Syracuse University students: Emily Greer, Waralee Kaewkoon and Thomas Byung H. Kim.

Made up from repurposed VHS tape strung over a frame system that has a rectangular series of partitions and a curved awning-like flourish, the work seems to never quite come into focus due to the fluttering of the tape. This constant subtle motion means that there is no one "right" way to perceive it: each observer's experience is free from a predetermined context. In this sense, Trans(inter)ference achieves its stated goal of being "an in-between object that weaves subject, object, and context into one."

Architecture Students Create Parti Wall Installation over 72-Hour Period

Over the course of the 72 hours, the architectural sensibilities of the nine mentor-led teams emerged, demonstrating the versatility that the nine-square problem previously offered as an abstract spatial problem, a project on tectonics and an indexing of form, and, with this project, as an infrastructure for an event.
