The National Council of Architectural Registration Boards have announced that the architecture programs of Parsons The New School for Design and Clemson University are the 2014 recipients of the NCARB Award. NCARB will award the schools a total of over US$50,000 to support the development of each school's proposed program, which explore new paradigms of integrating architectural practice and education. — bustler.net
The award is timelier than ever, in relation to NCARB's major announcements to expedite the architectural licensure and examination process in the U.S.
Program: Clemson University, School of Architecture - Clemson, SC
Proposal: “Graduate Program in Architecture + Health”
The project's mission is to advance healthcare facility design through the collaboration of architects, academia and members of the health care industry.
Program: Parsons The New School for Design, School of Constructed Environments - New York, NY
Proposal: “Student-Practitioner Partnerships in Building Performance Evaluation"
Although there is stronger emphasis on sustainability, instruction on performance measurement is lacking. Clemson's proposal addresses a new and critical opportunity for architecture students to improve the environmental performance of buildings through measurement.

So that's why it costs $112 for NCARB not to destroy my record every year! Hope those students appreciate it.
I'm very interested to see where these new curricula lead. There's more than enough room in the architecture school market for a few schools to create new programs focusing on various specializations, including practice. Cool.
