Bard faculty and staff lead their students by example, building upon the existing network of boundary-breaking programs focused on rethinking who can and should benefit from a liberal arts education.


Along these lines, the program is committed to supporting those whose voices, agendas and experiences continue to be systematically underrepresented in both academia and architecture.īard College is a private institution working in the public interest. As a non-professional degree program, Architecture at Bard privileges a forward-thinking, agile pedagogy that aims to equip students with an expansive and experimental approach toward the field that simultaneously opens paths for engaging other disciplines spatially. Structured around an innovative curriculum, the program looks to critically re-situate architecture as a site for transformative, insurgent socio-spatial imaginaries and a tool for building alliances seeking more just, liberating spatial futures. Candidates should hold at least a Master of Architecture degree.Īrchitecture at Bard is a new undergraduate program that launched in the Fall of 2020. We are especially interested in candidates whose proposals invite collaboration with programs across the college. To further support the production of the fellows work, the fellowship includes an additional research stipend. While the Fellow will be expected to teach core courses within the Architecture curriculum, they will have the opportunity to create a specific course of their choosing that will be tied directly to the development of their own creative work and personal research agenda, thus inviting students into the process as collaborators. The selected fellow will be expected to teach at an equivalent of two design studios and a seminar each academic year and to complete their two-year appointment by sharing their work publicly through an exhibition of their own work. This two-year appointment, beginning in the fall of 2022, is intended to serve as a platform of support for those embarking on a teaching and design career. The inaugural Architecture Teaching Fellowship will be awarded biennially to an emerging architect, urban designer, landscape architect or other spatial practitioner whose creative work mobilizes a culture that attends to societal concerns and spatial justice. Candidates are expected to teach at various levels across the curriculum, as well as play a crucial role in shaping the future of the Architecture program. The interested candidate should feel comfortable teaching in a design studio setting as well as bringing their own specific line of inquiry into other pedagogical spaces within the program and the college. Applicants for this post are expected to have a proven record of design work that challenges broader expectations of, and possibilities for, the field. The appointment will be at the rank of Assistant Professor with an anticipated start date of August 2022. Bard College Architecture announces openings for two positions. We invite international applications for a full-time tenure stream position in the area of architectural design and the inaugural Architecture Teaching Fellowship.įor the tenure-track position in Architectural Design, we are especially interested in those whose work treats the practice of design as both a mode of critical inquiry and a creative site for intervening in movements for social liberation and climate justice.
