EDIT: I inadvertently left out the Fellowship question because I was reading from a non-Fellowship list of questions and because I don't use editing equipment, it's all "shoot form the hip" with the list of questions and conversation in between, I am adding her answer to the question whihc she kindly sent me afterwards when I realized my mistake. So here it is:
Q: What made you apply for Fellowship and what was your topic?
I was nominated to apply for fellowship by my colleague Helena Jubany, and supported by the wonderful members of the AIA LA chapter. I have been told that of the members of the College of Fellows, 13% are women. Clearly, diversity is not a women only problem, and for our profession to remain relevant, this must change.
Here are excerpts from my Fellowship package:
I am currently Dean of Woodbury School of Architecture, which is a majority minority institution of over 400 students. Woodbury’s architecture program is now ranked 18th in the nation by DesignIntelligence (2018). I attribute this success to the diversity of the student body and the outstanding teaching of our exceptional and diverse faculty. Woodbury is now nationally recognized as a role model for the direction in which the profession is heading: improving gender parity and ethnic diversity among its members, and reaffirming the importance of ethical conduct and social responsibility. Through our initiatives, our community provides pathways for students to overcome barriers; develop design acuity; advance standards of architectural education and practice; and celebrate diversity as a means of expanding the influence of our profession.
In 2009, I established WUHO, an architecture gallery to celebrate the diversity and accomplishments of the Southern California architecture community with a particular emphasis on uncovering hidden subjects and topics in architecture and design. Woodbury University’s storefront gallery, located on the landmark Hollywood Walk of Fame, offers free programming to audiences not typically exposed to architecture. Since 2009, we have hosted 92 exhibitions and welcomed over 26,000 visitors. WUHO hosts events by other community design and non-profit organizations such as LA Forum for Architecture and Urban Design, NOMA, Architectural Lobby, Free School of Architecture, AWA+D, and many others.
I am a professor and a practicing architect who leads a school of architecture. My seventeen-year teaching career began at Cornell and Yale where I began teaching courses on the design of the building envelope and the experimental use of glass, which form the basis of my research and scholarship. I continuously seek ways to bridge the profession with the academy, hence my participation in forums such as this one.
