Princeton University. School of Architecture and Urban Planning
Hide Profile
Founded in 1919, the School of Architecture at Princeton University was closely integrated within the Department of Art and Archaeology, sharing many of the same faculty members and facilities. The steady growth of the program led to its establishment as an independent entity in 1952. The construction of a new building in 1963 and the creation of the office of Dean of the School of Architecture shortly thereafter in 1965 further cemented the School's reputation as a full-fledged institution. Shortly thereafter, in cooperation with the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, a program in Urban Planning was added to the course offerings and in 1967 the name of the school was officially changed to the School of Architecture and Urban Planning. Today the School of Architecture and Urban Planning offers undergraduate, master of architecture, and doctoral degrees.
The course of study offered by the School of Architecture has been restructured frequently in response to technological innovation and emerging issues in the field of Architecture, and over the years many prominent architects have been drawn to the School to teach. Included among this group are Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, and Michael Graves.
