"University teaching is the art and science of shaping the future of the profession. It is the foundation of a strong, sustainable society and an investment in the future human wealth of a nation. It is from this perspective that I approach teaching architecture to the future designers and builders of the world. Science and technology have advanced exponentially with computer and information technology opening new ways of advancing human achievements. Yet, design is one of the core human endeavors that will continue to be in need of innovative development and refinement through education."

"My inspiration for teaching stems from the act of making. At an early age, I was awed by the power of constructing something with your own hands; inspired by the capabilities of the tools nature has given us. When I was training to be an architect, this passion guided my design process and I learned the value of a close connection to the physical world. Architecture has two faces, one is the construing or thinking about the making and the other is the actual making. I believe that connecting the two is a critical act in the teaching of future architects."

"Witnessing the delight and pride on students' faces as they step back from a beautiful drawing and realize that their hand produced that expression of their built world, that with a pencil and a piece of paper they can take part in the eternal conversation that is our built environment, drives me to engage students in the studio and inspires my own questioning of working methods and philosophy in professional practice."

"I see teaching not as telling students what they need to know, but as doing something that will inspire them to become motivated and actually learn. My main goals of teaching are to inspire students to learn and exposition of content. Teaching design studios is oriented toward bridging the gap between technical courses and design studio by integrating other classes in studio projects. The idea is to balance creativity and technical aspects of design, e.g., structures, environmental controls and construction technology. Teaching lecture courses is problem-based, which is emphasizing concepts that can be used in design decisions, as one can show implications on building form or fabric."

"The professions within architecture, engineering and the building arts engage in both creative arts and mechanical sciences to design, construct and maintain the built environment in which we live. I have been fortunate to study and later work as an engineer and builder in the New York City metropolitan area. I have had the opportunity to witness great building design and follow the latest construction techniques. As a professor of architecture and engineering, I am pleased to share my field experiences with my students and hopefully inspire them to be creative and improve building materials and methods. My inspiration for teaching comes from the many successes my former students have shared with me about their lives and their careers in architecture and engineering."

With more than half of the global population now living in urbanized areas, the 21st century is also the first urban century. As a student of the city - our greatest collective achievement - I am inspired to share my ideas with others so that we might contribute to the creation of more equitable, resilient and delightful neighborhoods, public places, cities and regions. Such an ambition is necessarily collaborative and multidisciplinary. It also requires the dedication and optimism of talented students of architecture, landscape architecture and urban design who will go forth to shape the city of tomorrow.

I believe that there are at least as many different 'urbanisms' and urban imaginaries as there are actual cities, and probably as many as there are teachers and students of the built environment who care deeply about the past, present and future of the city.

"The relationships that have grown out of the work done in the Gulf Coast communities since 2005-when Hurricane Katrina destroyed buildings, neighborhoods and whole towns-have contributed meaning and lifelong value to the architecture, interior design, historic preservation and industrial design students who have accompanied me on annual visits to the region affected. Students have played significant roles in the recovery and rebuilding processes, working very closely with various neighborhood associations and community leaders, as well as individuals who were in urgent need of design services such as housing, community centers, schools, church fellowship halls and more. The integration of SCAD design students into the vast network of organizations who are engaged in the rebuilding of these communities has been especially rewarding and has led to a number of employment opportunities for graduates."

"Both the profession and academia of architecture demand the highest of standards-it would be a disservice to the students not to require only the best of their effort and assist them to reach these high standards. Students are encouraged to go further with their work through suggested readings and input from all professors and peers. The professor should inspire and lead the student into taking on their own responsibility to critically learn, have ownership of their projects and challenge themselves."

"While in graduate school, I had the opportunity to teach several laboratories and really enjoyed the experience. I developed a great passion for teaching and hoped to find a place to teach structural concepts where the focus would be on the students and not on the professors' research. I had several experiences with professors in school that were clearly more interested in their work outside of the classroom than in making sure the students really understood what they were teaching. This drove me to become a professor, and particularly one who taught for the joy of breaking concepts down and helping students learn. Because of this, the focus on teaching at SCAD makes it the perfect place for me."

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle." - Ernest Hemingway

"Embarking with my students on a learning and exploration adventure is my main drive for teaching. I enjoy being a part of an environment where my formal education in architecture-related fields can find direct application in preparing students to be instrumental in preserving and designing the buildings and cities of tomorrow. I believe a solid academic base can only be laid through a continuous, focused exposure to the theory and philosophy of design, expected in high standard academic education. Formal education instills in students the knowledge and confidence to succeed in their future professions."

"Teaching is also learning, and is both a career and practice of curiosity and pursuing the questions of 'why' and 'what if.' Teaching connects one with perpetual hope, quest, and energy from the students. It is a career of promise of what the world can be, rooted in creative evaluation and wisdom of what the world has been. Among the benefits of teaching, such as being inspired by the students' perpetual youthful energy and the spirit of hope, it is the added benefit of taking such care with information and discernment of the world around that perhaps is most important because I am a college teacher as well as a designer. I pay attention to things in the world, from its past history, to current events and the present, and think about implications and possibilities for the future in keen ways, because this information is my teaching material. In short, teaching motivates attentiveness to life and all of its facets. I strive to pass on these skills to my students, as individuals, citizens and designers."

"As a lifelong learner, I am fascinated by the excitement and creativity of each individual student. Interacting with creative minds is one way that I find myself learning and sharing my experience and background. My inspiration for teaching comes from the uncovered mystery that exists in every lesson I teach to an individual student. I find it amazing that each time I think I am teaching a student something, I am learning something new, something that is unique to the moment of interaction with the student. For someone who has always been fascinated with the digital world and its contrast with the natural and man-made world, I view my role as of the gap filler because architecture is a lifelong movie, one that unfolds and unveils new truths."

"Year after year, my passion for teaching has grown through my daily interactions with my students; their innovative and pure way of thinking reinforce my dedication to the learning, teaching and study of architecture. I see myself as an eternal student who is constantly learning, re-evaluating and challenging ideas."

"Teaching the elements and principles of architecture alone do not generate excitement; it is rather the innovative mind of the students, their risk-taking attitude and the speculative nature of their interventions that make my job inspiring: an architectural context that is transformed and framed by the human intervention within it."

"Embarking with my students on a learning and exploration adventure is my main drive for teaching. I enjoy being a part of an environment where my formal education in architecture-related fields can find direct application in preparing students to be instrumental in preserving and designing the buildings and cities of tomorrow. I believe a solid academic base can only be laid through a continuous, focused exposure to the theory and philosophy of design, expected in high standard academic education. Formal education instills in students the knowledge and confidence to succeed in their future professions."
