In the months ahead, the AA will embark on a search for a new Chair to head the school from the beginning of the academic year 2005-06. This search has been initiated following the departure of Mohsen Mostafavi, Chairman since 1995...
The AA looks to the future with optimism, confident in its ability to remain at the forefront of architectural debate and experimentation. The school is built on the calibre, diversity and international profile of its teachers and students, and their engagement in innovative forms of research. Its various programmes at both graduate and undergraduate levels are supported by courses in history, theory, visualisation and technical studies, as well as by extensive facilities. Contributing to the AA’s unique teaching approach and educational structure is a strong culture of workshops, symposia, public lectures, exhibitions and publications. The AA seeks leadership and vision to assure its continued success and to define a new phase of this dynamic and ever-changing school.
A search committee of ten members, comprising representatives from the council, academic staff, student body and administration, was elected by the school community in the spring of this year. The committee is entering into the year-long selection process with an open mind. It is still in the early stages of its work, and seeks to identify the very best candidates to maintain the AA as an independent, progressive school and international forum for architectural debate. After a staged process of selection, shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview with the committee. This will be followed by candidate presentations to the school community for election in Spring 2005. The committee will be in constant contact with the school during the selection process, both through community meetings and less formal channels, allowing for individual comment and discussion.
