Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Carnegie Mellon School of Architecture in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is a degree-granting institution founded in 1906 as one of five divisions of Carnegie Mellon University's College of Fine Arts. It is widely regarded as one of the best schools of architecture, and one of a shrinking number offering an accredited five year professional degree.[citation needed] The School of Architecture's main office and main studio space are located on the second floor of the College of Fine Arts building, designed by Henry Hornbostel and located axially along a green lawn known as "the Cut". Academically the undergraduate degree program is divided into two studios per year for five years totalling ten studio classes. There typically has not been a thesis studio. The current head of the School is Laura Lee.
