Teaching Firm in Residence Program
The Cummings School of Architecture in 2007 established the Architecture Teaching Firm in Residence Program, unique in the United States, with the intention to bring the highest quality educator practitioners to the School from the region, the country and abroad for semester long stays. The program brings two to three lead participants from the Teaching Firm for semester long engagements to teach graduate architectural design studios, and often an additional seminar.
Additional firm-wide resources are engaged for studio lectures, design studio review critiques at RWU and at the firm, and visits to the firm and to sites. Teaching Firms in Residence often offer a public lecture and exhibition in the School’s Events series as well.
