Revolt and Reform in Architecture's Academy uniquely addresses the
complicated relationship between architectural education and urban
renewal in the 1960s, which paved the way for what is today known
as public interest design. Through an examination of curricular
reforms at Columbia University's and Yale University's schools of
architecture in the 1960s, this book translates the "urban crisis"
through the experiences of two influential groups of architecture
students, as well as their contributions to design's lexicon. The
book argues that urban renewal and campus expansion half a century
ago recast architectural education at two schools whose host
cities, New York and New Haven, were critical sites for political,
social, and urban upheaval in America. The urban challenges of that
time are the same challenges rapidly growing cities face
today-access, equity, housing, and services. As architects,
architects in training, and architecture students continue to
wrestle with questions surrounding how design may serve a broadly
defined public interest, this book is a timely assessment of the
forces that have shaped the debate.
