“In my teaching, I strive to integrate architectural theory and practice as much as possible. Students need to be able to apply skills which are founded on a strong theoretical basis, and develop the capacity to learn from historical precedents. I see this award as recognition of that pedagogical need.”
– Associate Professor Francois Blanciak
