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.

The fellowship ... makes it possible for junior faculty to spend a year developing a body of design research based on an area of interest while teaching [...] Maya Alam will explore new possibilities of identity and iconicity in architecture by reconsidering alternative connections between object, observer, and context. “I hope to explore with my students new categories of form and new architectural possibilities in engagement that fall outside the disciplinary conversation”

Archinector Donna Sink commented on this news:

"I just want to point out that Professor Boghosian (which is what we called him at UA) was also a Cranbrook grad; the fact that he went there piqued my curiosity about the place, because he was clearly different form my other professors. Professor Boghosian was a dreamer but a fantastic teacher and a very thoughtful critic; even when giving hard criticism, he always did so kindly and for the love of our discipline. Congratulations to Professor Alam!"
