Saint Louis, MO
The Sam Fox School welcomes four new architecture faculty to campus this semester: Jose Ahedo, Michelle L. Hauk, Jonathan Louie, and Nicole McIntosh. Aki Ishida also began her role July 1 as Director of the College of Architecture and Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design and the Sam and Marilyn Fox Professor.
Michelle L. Hauk, MArch/MSAS ’15, begins her role as assistant professor of architecture, history, and theory this fall. Appointed last year, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Edwin O. Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies at Harvard University before returning to St. Louis. Hauk will teach a research seminar on women in architecture as well as a workshop course on Japanese dwellings. Students in both courses will present their final projects in an exhibition.
Jonathan Louie and Nicole McIntosh, founders of the Zurich-based firm Architecture Office, come to the school as visiting assistant professors. They led the 2024 Laskey Charrette, a design challenge on the idea of pictures as the context. Beginning with a photo of a room, students first built a diorama of the photo. Once complete, they photographed the diorama. McIntosh and Louie suggested displaying the three parts of the work side-by-side, so that “the more you look, the more you see… they are models for observing and studying new ways of seeing the room.”
