2023-07-26T13:27:00-04:00

Following last week’s look at an opening for a Designer at Boffi, we are using this week’s edition of our Job Highlights series to explore an opportunity on Archinect Jobs for a Public Interest Design (PID) Fellowship at the University of Detroit Mercy, Detroit Collaborative Design Center.

Celebrating the work and perseverance of architecture students and academic fellows in 2021

2021-12-29T18:34:00-05:00

Pursuing an architecture education is no easy feat, and with the events that took place in 2020 and 2021, there were plenty of obstacles that could dampen the goals of students around the world. Nevertheless, architecture schools learned as much as they could in 2020 to help students and faculty adapt and persevere.

While 2021 proved to be another year filled with challenges for the architecture industry, architectural academia also experienced its fair share of events. From the announcement of architecture deans leaving to new academic leaders emerging, we must not forget the students and architecture fellows who continued to work hard and keep going.

This year, remote learning, virtual studio crits, and graduations were also met with some in-person learning through hybrid teaching approaches. However, despite the continued obstacles, undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. students across the globe continued to learn, explore, and propel the future of architecture and design forward....

Mentorship opportunities for young architects and design professionals have been an ongoing mission for The National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA).
