Ceren Bingol has been named as the interim Architect-in-Residence and Head of the Architecture Department at Cranbrook Academy of Art, according to a statement released today by Christopher Scoates, the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Director of Cranbrook Academy of Art and Art Museum, and the school’s Board of Governors. Starting January 6, 2017, Bingol will replace outgoing Architect-in-Residence, Bill Massie. Bingol will serve in this position for the rest of the 2017 academic year, as well as into 2018.
According to the press release, Bingol will be working alongside Dan Kinkead of SmithGroupJJr during the spring 2017 semester. Kinkead, whose work with Detroit Future City “highlights his strong connection to Detroit”, will be helping students with project work based in the city. Next year, he’ll continue to work with the school in an advisory capacity.
Bingol has previously worked at Grimshaw Architects and, most recently, at OMA New York as a Senior Architect. Originally from Istanbul, Bingol studied at the Yale School of Architecture.
“We are excited to have Ceren join our celebrated architectural program,” said Scoates. “Her process includes visionary ambitions accompanied by pragmatic solutions, which will serve our students well. Her embrace of architecture as a field of active participation and interdisciplinary collaboration will help guide the practice of our current and incoming students.”
