"Architecture has two faces. One is thinking about making and the other is the actual making. Connecting the two is a critical act in the teaching of future architects."

Faculty experience

As practicing architects themselves, SCAD's faculty members are uniquely qualified to serve students as career-long mentors. The passion for design they bring into the classroom is every bit as valuable as the professional connections and personal commitment they offer.

Architecture faculty at SCAD have worked with the following firms and industry icons:

  • Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, Chicago
  • Dawson Architects, Savannah
