UMass Department of Architecture Faculty were well represented at this year’s Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture Conference (ACSA) in Detroit in April. The ACSA, an association of over 200 member schools, is a leading voice of architectural education and research.

Several faculty presented papers on their research: Pari Riahi presented "The Improved Versus the Planned: In Search of Public Space in Parisian Suburbs,"  Naomi Darling presented “Integrating an Ethos of Service into the Beginning Design Studio,” Carey Clouse presented her paper titled “Addressing Climate Change through Water Landscapes in India,” and Caryn Brause presented “Collaboration: Propelling an Expanded Practice.” Joseph Krupczynski curated a panel entitled “Is Another Architecture Possible?"

Faculty also shared work developed through teaching collaborations in the conference’s project sessions: Naomi Darling and Ray Mann presented on “Integrating Cultural Research in the Design Studio” and Stephen Schreiber, Carey Clouse, and Caryn Brause presented on “Housing the Urban Animal.”
