About
Through research and scholarly leadership, I show how architecture shapes civil society, culture, and consumption. As dean at the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning, I work with more than 100 faculty and 40 staff in educating nearly 700 students in generating the knowledge and capacities to address the world's grand challenges. With colleagues at and beyond Michigan, I am currently pursuing a human-centered redesign of education for excellence and equity.
