A recently published report, “The State of Facades Education in Academic Institutions: U.S.-Based Perspectives,” outlines the results of a research study focusing on the state of facades education at higher-education institutions across the United States. The objective was to identify coursework focusing on facades and to analyze how these courses relate to the overall curricula, educational content, and teaching methods at various universities.

The report was published by the Facade Tectonics Institute, authored by Dr. Ajla Aksamija, FTI President and Professor at the School of Architecture; Gabrielle Brainard, Associate Principal and Building Enclosure Specialist at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) and Adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia University; Timothy Brown, Principal at Tim Brown Architecture and Associate Professor of Architecture at Clemson University, and Sunny Milosevic, Ph.D. Student at the University of Utah.
