The Cass School of Art, Architecture and Design at  London Metropolitan University has appointed Professor Christian Frost as their new Head of Architecture, effective July 1st, 2019. 

Professor Frost, who is an experienced researcher and educator, studied Architecture at Cambridge before completing his doctorate at the Cass earlier this year. 

He brings significant knowledge of architecture education in the UK, having taught at Birmingham City University, where he is currently Professor of Architecture and Director of History, Theory and Cultural Context. Prior, he taught at Kingston University, where he was Director of first year and later of the RIBA Part 2 course. He is also a regular Chair of RIBA Visiting Boards and is a member of the RIBA's New Course and Course Changes Group.

At Cass, Frost hopes to collaborate with students and staff interested in pushing the boundaries of the academic discipline of architecture. Further, he is looking forward to nurturing the relationship between academia and practice in working alongside The Cass's "accomplished academics [and the] significant international reputation built off its close links with successful architectural practitioners and practices."
