Description
The Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP) at Columbia University invites applications for a full-time, open-rank faculty position in Computational Design Practices, in the tenured, tenure-track, and professional practice categories. A Master’s degree in Architecture, Urban Planning, Computer Science, Human Computer Interaction, or Computational Design, or the equivalent professional degree with a specialization in computation and the built environment is required.
GSAPP is a school dedicated to engaging and shaping the built environment across scales, in light of the climatic, ecological, societal, bodily, and technological tensions of today. With Master’s programs in Architecture; Urban Planning; Historic Preservation; Real Estate Development; Architecture and Urban Design; Critical, Curatorial, and Conceptual Practices; and Computational Design Practices, and doctoral programs in Architecture, Urban Planning, and Historic Preservation, GSAPP represents a unique environment that fosters interdisciplinary thinking and innovation across contexts, expanding the reach and critical capacity of knowledge and practice. Located in the heart of New York City, the School has built its long legacy of excellence as an engine for change, combining inventiveness with disciplinary practice and incisive and engaged thinking. The Master of Science in Computational Design Practices (MSCDP), newly established in 2021, is a one-year (three semester) pre- or post-professional cross-disciplinary degree program. It extends and integrates disciplines of architecture, design, spatial data visualization, and urban planning, focusing on computational design practices for the built environment at multiple scales. The program encourages critical and creative engagement with computational design as both method and practice.
GSAPP seeks candidates who will build bridges and form networks between computational design, technology, data analysis, visualization, and the built environment. The new faculty member will link curricula across MSCDP; the Computation and Technology sequences in the Master of Architecture, Advanced Architectural Design and Urban Design programs; and Urban Analytics in the Master of Science in Urban Planning program, among other possibilities.
