Scott Marble has been selected as one of the 25 Most Admired Educators for 2016-17 by Design Intelligence. This annual honor is given to acknowledge excellence in education and is selected with input from thousands of design professionals, academic department heads and students from around the country.
Our own Karen Fairbanks has been awarded the 2015 Educator Award by the New York State AIA! Since she began at Barnard College’s Department of Architecture in 1996 (and since overseeing the merger of Barnard and Columbia Architecture as department chair), Karen has developed the curriculum’s engagement with urbanism, data analysis, and new forms of digital media and communication. Congrats Karen!
After a year-long sabbatical, Karen is back at Barnard in her role of Department Chair and is teaching the Design III studio, Resources for an Urban World, set to travel to Istanbul this fall. Scott is also back at school, teaching Workflow: Designing Industry, a seminar at GSAPP to rethink the future of architectural practice.
Karen Fairbanks has been selected as the recipient of the 2013 Distinguished Alumna of Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning at the University of Michigan. An exhibition of the work of Marble Fairbanks will open at the University of Michigan in September and Karen will be giving a public lecture on October 4th.
