"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."

No body of work..... only selfies on Google. Wow
At first I thought that mattered, but she's got a PhD in Philosophy and Architecture. She's a theorist and educator. Not a practitioner.

But you know most people here don't consider philosophy, theory and education as a vital part of architecture ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Good collection of books though, worked on one image in one of those books ;)
