University of Oregon. Dept. of Architecture.

The University of Oregon School of Architecture and Design was founded in 1914 by Ellis Lawrence. From the beginning, the school was unique among its contemporaries for its non-competitive, individual approach to learning and for its affiliation with the allied arts (painting, crafts, sculpture, etc.), rather than with engineering.

The current name of the school is School of Architecture and Allied Arts (AAA). Throughout the years the name of the Architecture school has changed, it has gone through reorganization, and has added and eliminated many departments. Former names of the school and departments include: School of Architecture and Allied Arts, School of Architecture and Design, Department of Architecture, Department of Architecture and Allied Arts, Department of Landscape Architecture, Department of Fine Arts, Department of Fine and Applied Arts, Department of Art Education, Department of Art, Department of Art History, Department of Urban Planning, and Department of Planning, Public Policy and Management.
