Sarah Deyong named UNL Architecture Program Director

2018-05-25T14:51:00-04:00

Sarah Deyong, associate professor at Texas A&M University, has accepted the appointment of Architecture Program director with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s College of Architecture. Deyong will assume her position with the college July 1st. [...] Deyong is known internationally for her research focused on the post-WWII period to the present, underscoring the symbiotic relationship between HTC and design practice.

"Today, we find ourselves in a dynamic situation, with new technologies and digital tools, for example," Deyong laid out the focus of her directorship. "The utility of history and theory is that it brings the longer, canonical perspective of how we define ourselves into play. We learn from both failures and successes. Since architecture is inherently collaborative, we best prepare our students for the interdisciplinary nature of contemporary practice when we define ourselves as a discipline with design at its core."

Proposed merger of University of Nebraska-Lincoln architecture, arts colleges met with criticism

2015-04-13T13:45:00-04:00

Merging the University of Nebraska-Lincoln College of Architecture with another college is a disaster waiting to happen, a handful of architects said Friday. They were attending the NU Board of Regents meeting to protest plans to merge the architecture program with the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts. A merger could water down the quality of the architecture program and diminish the respect it commands, the architects told the board.

One college on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus focuses on designing space through research and critical thinking. The other offers space for artists to expand their creativity in visual and performing arts and communications. Beginning in the 2015-16 academic year, the UNL College of Architecture and the Hixon-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts could merge under a proposal announced by university administrators last week.
