At the core of the school in these early years was an uncompromising belief that comprehensive design would produce a healthy environment, and improved society, and a better life for all. Experimental in nature, the School was open to new ideas and challenges. It identified with the progressive aspirations of the new south, but its perspective was global. Unlike many of its peer institutions emerging from traditional academic positions, the school\u2019s zeal for the new was balanced by an uncommon concern for the broad development of the individual student who was expected to assume a formative role as a creative leader and committed citizen.\u201d<\/p><p>&#8211; Robert Burns<br><em>Reflections and Actions: An Inspiration for the Future<\/em>, 1996<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default wp-block-paragraph\">Architecture was one of the two original departments in the School of Design when it was founded in 1948.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1946 Dean Harold Lampe of the School of Engineering and Dean Leonard Baver of the School of Agriculture proposed to Chancellor John Harrelson to form a new School, bringing together the Department of Architectural Engineering and the Department of Landscape Architecture. The chancellor formed a search committee to identify and interview candidates in the fall of 1947. Henry Kamphoefner, then a professor of architecture at the University of Oklahoma, was offered the position as founding dean of the School of Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Clarity of Vision<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Henry Kamphoefner accepted the offer with several unusual stipulations. He, to a great extent, cleaned house of the faculty and existing department head. The stipulations were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The existing head be replaced by \u201ca man of national reputation.\u201d Within one year Matthew Nowicki was named acting head of architecture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An existing tenured professor\u2019s resignation was obtained.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Five existing non-tenured professors were terminated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Four existing faculty were retained.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Six new faculty were hired, with a 60% increase in salary compared to the six that were replaced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Four of these six were hand-picked by Henry Kamphoefner from the University of Oklahoma: James Fitzgibbons, Duncan Stuart, Edward Waugh and George Matsumoto.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One faculty position was kept vacant, to fund the new Distinguished Visitors Program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new academic unit was named the School of Design and included architecture and landscape architecture. The Head of Landscape Architecture was Gil Thurlow, who had served on the search committee for the new dean. None of the school faculty had tenure; all had one-year contracts that were revisited annually by the dean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dean Kamphoefner displayed a clear vision to establish in only a few years an institution of national and international prominence. He used all means available to him, including the curriculum, faculty and student selections and negotiations for university resources to achieve this goal. Equally quickly, the School of Design became the darling of the university, attracting national attention vastly out of proportion with its size or age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key elements making up the foundation for the architecture program were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Singleness of purpose<\/strong>: The authoritative dean intentionally brought in faculty with diverse talents, interests, and worldviews. They squabbled, but the design pedagogy held them together.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faculty were hand-picked by the dean<\/strong>, even after the initial founding. They were teachers first and practitioners second. Faculty were hired for their excellence, not to teach a particular topic. Later they would figure out what they would teach. Faculty interests drove the curriculum, not the other way around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Faculty were required to practice in their discipline<\/strong>. Practice was their research. This is where the pedagogy was put to the test. Proof of concept was revealed and disseminated publicly through built works, articles and awards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chancellor and university support was robust<\/strong>. Initially, the facilities were poor in quality. Existing offices and classrooms in what is now called 111 Lampe Drive (previously called Daniels Hall) were used, but many studios were housed in relocated military barracks near Patterson Hall. However, the university quickly made significant capital improvements for the school. in 1955 the school moved into Brooks Hall, which was D.H. Hill, Jr. Library. It was renamed for Eugene Brooks, the fifth president of the university. In 1956 the Matsumoto addition was built to the north. In 1966 the Cameron addition was built to the south. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Focus was on one architecture degree program<\/strong>, yielding a professional Bachelor of Architecture degree in five years. For years the curriculum remained unchanged, though the content of instruction evolved based on ever-changing faculty interests. Faculty focused on their teaching and practice, less so on administrative and service tasks creating new curricula.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"752\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/2-SOD1972Rand-DeanK_web-752x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Dean Kamphoefner, 1972.

Rigorous standards were set; students needed to be exceedingly dedicated and hard-working.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Student Publication<\/strong>: Annual publications were produced by students working under a faculty advisor. Topics changed each year based on a competitive review of proposals. These publications were significant because they addressed cutting-edge issues outside of the school. They were disseminated to bookstores, architectural offices and libraries worldwide. They showed the intellectual flavor of the school, and its design acumen as seen in the printed artifact. These spread the reputation of the school more effectively than any university catalog. Many subsequent students and faculty first learned about the school through these publications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Art Auction<\/strong>: Proceeds from the sale of The Student Publication were rolled over for the next publication, but more funds were needed. An annual Art Auction was held each spring in which students and faculty would donate works of art, drawings, sculptures, and models for sale, with some proceeds supporting the next publication. Again, creative works were disseminated and publicly praised, enhancing the reputation of the school.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/3-SOD1972Rand-0046ArtSale_web-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"School of Design Art Sale, 1972.

Photo by Pat Rand. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1970, three years before Henry Kamphoefner retired as dean, the architecture program began to transition to more diverse paths toward architectural education, largely due to national trends. The most notable of these was the transition from the five-year Bachelor of Architecture degree as the only degree path to a four-year non-professional architecture degree with an optional two-year professional Master of Architecture degree following. This 4+2 degree model was manifest here as a 2+2+2 sequence, in which the first two years of basic design were common to all undergraduates in the School of Design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several other changes followed, as Dean Claude McKinney (1973-1988) deferred to faculty to conceive and deliver design education, extensively empowering school-wide committees for governance. Among these changes were the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Core topics were commonly taught<\/strong>: In addition to a two-year design fundamentals program, six \u201ccores\u201d were established in graphics and communications, behavior, environment, history and philosophy, physical elements and systems and methods and management. All non-studio courses in the school were organized into these cores and made available to undergraduate and graduate students for all degrees. Undergraduate architecture students were required to take at least one course in four of the six cores. Interchange between majors and degree levels was to be facilitated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>School-wide committees overlayed departments:<\/strong> Courses and curricula, undergraduate admissions, faculty searches, promotion and tenure decisions, exhibitions, visiting lectures and many other areas were managed by committees composed by faculty from all academic units. One undergraduate and one graduate student served on each of these committees, with voting rights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>New degree programs were created<\/strong>: Product Design had begun in 1958; Visual Design was added, initially as a program within Product Design. Design Fundamentals was also added, later to become Art and Design. Graduate studies in each department were initiated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the 1980s, other changes began under Dean McKinney, then continued under Deans Thomas Regan (1989-1994), and Marvin Malecha (1994-2015). They continue now under Dean Mark Hoversten (2015 \u2013 present). The most notable of these were:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>New faculty models were introduced:<\/strong> A transition from the initial emphasis on teaching and the education of the next generation of designers, as might be appropriate for a land-grant university, to broader and more diverse models. Graduate education, starting with masters-level degrees, but later PhD in Design and Doctor of Design degrees would be introduced. These programs attracted more university support than undergraduate education. The metrics of a Research-1 University affected these decisions. With these new models, faculty sometimes taught less and pursued research, preferably externally funded research, which had the potential to financially benefit the school and university in ways that became necessary as support from the NC Legislature diminished.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Centers were created:<\/strong> As clusters of research projects arose, they sometimes led to academic or non-academic units that engaged faculty and students, sometimes supplemented by professional staff to carry out projects. The Community Design Center and the Center for Universal Design are examples that were relevant to architecture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Doing more with less:<\/strong> As enrollments in architecture increased, as degree options increased, and as new faculty models were introduced, it is important to note that the number of architecture faculty stayed the same, or even declined. The number of full-time faculty in architecture peaked at 17 in the early 1970s. We now offer a wide array of architecture degrees, and do so with only 14-16 full-time faculty members, and two faculty with dual appointments to degree programs other than architecture. Increasingly vital is the support of over a dozen professors of the practice who generously contribute their time and talent to the teaching of many studios and courses. In fact, the current curricula could not be taught if using only our full-time faculty. The architecture program has an exemplary relationship with the practice community.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>People<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clarity of vision requires capable people who can articulate that vision in such a way that others can give it life. It began with Henry Kamphoefner, but he was greatly assisted by Lewis Mumford, a part-time faculty member who set out the philosophical direction and curriculum of the young school, and who urged the dean to hire Matthew Nowicki as the first department head of architecture. Though Nowicki was only able to serve as head for two years before his tragic death in an airplane crash when returning after two months working on the design of India\u2019s new nation\u2019s capital of Chandigarh. Nowicki\u2019s 1950 design of Dorton Arena would be realized by his collaborator William Henley Dietrick in 1952, two years after Nowicki\u2019s death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Argentine-born architect Eduardo Catalano became head of architecture in 1951 and remained until 1956 when he took a faculty position at MIT. During his time as head, the stature of the architecture program grew substantially, fueled by the achievements of faculty and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A novel administrative model was in place between 1956 and 1967, in which Henry Kamphoefner was both dean of the school and de facto dead of the Department of Architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Robert \u201cBob\u201d Burns, a native of Roxboro, North Carolina, studied under Catalano here and earned his Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1957. He completed graduate studies at MIT, again studying under Catalano, and then working for several years in Catalano\u2019s architectural practice in Boston on several substantial projects. Bob returned to Raleigh in 1965 and became one of our most important and effective faculty members. Bob was head of architecture in multiple stints beginning in 1967, adding up to seventeen years as head. During some of those years he was also associate dean for academics at the school\/college level. Bob was an inspiration to the thousand or more students he taught, and to the faculty colleagues that he mentored. Many of these alums went on to leadership roles in practice and academia. In architecture faculty meetings, while many of us struggled with the complexities of the problems being discussed, Bob would step in to gracefully chart a vivid path to elegant solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clearly, the intellectual \u201cfamily tree\u201d of architecture may have begun with Henry Kamphoefner, but it continues to grow and branch into directions not foreseen by the school\u2019s founders, through the efforts of many who came after them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s summarize here some of the means used to bring great people to the School of Design and the Department of Architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Distinguished Visitors Program<\/strong>: When the School of Design was founded, one faculty position was kept vacant to fund this program. During the period from 1948 \u2013 1973, a total of 111 leading educators and practitioners came here not just for lectures, but for extended visits. This brought the most talented designers and architects from around the world to the studios in Raleigh, where students could collaborate with them on projects. This assured ongoing intellectual diversity and kept the pot boiling. This stimulating learning environment attracted educators seeking permanent faculty positions as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Selective admissions<\/strong>: Unlike most public university departments, some of which admitted about three times more students than they intended to graduate, this program had a famously low admissions rate and a single-digit attrition rate (the percent of admitted students who do not graduate). Most of the students lost to attrition chose another major; they did not fail academically. Dean McKinney reported that School of Design majors had higher grades in university chemistry classes than the chemistry majors, and that they did better in English than the English majors. By accepting only about one-tenth of the applicants, faculty energy can be directed to teaching, and little energy is spent on students who do not matriculate. And this comes despite our focus in interviews of applicants being on the candidate\u2019s portfolio and what they are thinking, not on their GPAs or SAT scores. In the current year\u2019s undergraduate admissions process, again only about 10% of applicants were accepted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/4-1972-JohnSawyerPresents-copy-2_web-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Presentation by John Sawyer, 1972.

The architecture program earned recognition and acclaim almost immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The talent and ambition of the young School of Design yielded student and faculty works that won national and international recognitions unexpected by such a new, small southern school. Faculty and visiting faculty won praise for their innovative projects carried out in practice, which were published widely. Works by Matthew Nowicki, George Matsumoto, Buckminster Fuller, James Fitzgibbons and many others are examples of this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">School of Design student recognitions took place in the most important international competitions available: the Rome Prize and the Paris Prize annual competitions. To receive eight awards within a twenty-year period was unprecedented. Winning students were the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Rome Prize<\/strong> (Prix de Rome):<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>George Patton, 1949, Landscape Architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Richard Bell, 1951, Landscape Architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wayne Taylor, 1959, Architecture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Paris Prize<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Edward Shirley, 1953, Architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Robert Burns, 1957, Architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Edwin \u201cAbie\u201d Harris, 1958, Architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lloyd Walter, 1960, Architecture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kenneth Moffett, 1969, Architecture<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alums of the architecture program continue to earn respect at prestigious graduate programs, in excellent offices around the world, and have won countless awards and honors themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like other architecture programs in the country in the 1950\u2019s, white males made up the vast majority of the faculty and student populations. In this context, milestones worthy of note include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First woman to graduate in architecture: Elizabeth E. Lee, Bachelor of Architecture, 1952<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First woman architecture faculty member: Lynn Meyer Gay, 1969<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First African American architecture graduate: Arthur J. Clement, Bachelor of Architecture, 1971<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First African American architecture faculty member: Barry Jackson, Visiting Associate Professor, 1972<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For several decades the architecture program has sought university and external support to enhance minority presence, but support has been insufficient to date. Efforts will certainly continue. Regarding gender, architecture now has approximate parity in male and female student enrollment. International enrollment has recently grown significantly in the graduate Architecture programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ACSA Presidents<\/strong>:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leadership in architectural education is another indicator of the influence of this architecture program.

Many noble endeavors go without recognition in standard ways. The American Institute of Architects elevates to the College of Fellows individuals who have distinguished themselves in some way as architects. Each year between five and ten of these honorees are alumni or faculty from our program. Many of the part-time professors of the practice (formerly known as adjunct faculty) who teach studios and courses are AIA Fellows. This talent pool is a rich resource for our students; they serve as role models for emerging professionals.

Experimental in nature, the School was open to new ideas and challenges. It identified with the progressive aspirations of the new south, but its perspective was global.

He used all means available to him, including the curriculum, faculty and student selections and negotiations for university resources to achieve this goal. Equally quickly, the School of Design became the darling of the university, attracting national attention vastly out of proportion with its size or age.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Key elements making up the foundation for the architecture program were:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>Singleness of purpose<\/strong>: The authoritative dean intentionally brought in faculty with diverse talents, interests, and worldviews.

Initially, the facilities were poor in quality.

However, the university quickly made significant capital improvements for the school. in 1955 the school moved into Brooks Hall, which was D.H. Hill, Jr. Library. It was renamed for Eugene Brooks, the fifth president of the university. In 1956 the Matsumoto addition was built to the north.

They were disseminated to bookstores, architectural offices and libraries worldwide. They showed the intellectual flavor of the school, and its design acumen as seen in the printed artifact.

The most notable of these was the transition from the five-year Bachelor of Architecture degree as the only degree path to a four-year non-professional architecture degree with an optional two-year professional Master of Architecture degree following. This 4+2 degree model was manifest here as a 2+2+2 sequence, in which the first two years of basic design were common to all undergraduates in the School of Design.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Several other changes followed, as Dean Claude McKinney (1973-1988) deferred to faculty to conceive and deliver design education, extensively empowering school-wide committees for governance. Among these changes were the following.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>Core topics were commonly taught<\/strong>: In addition to a two-year design fundamentals program, six \u201ccores\u201d were established in graphics and communications, behavior, environment, history and philosophy, physical elements and systems and methods and management. All non-studio courses in the school were organized into these cores and made available to undergraduate and graduate students for all degrees. Undergraduate architecture students were required to take at least one course in four of the six cores. Interchange between majors and degree levels was to be facilitated.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>School-wide committees overlayed departments:<\/strong> Courses and curricula, undergraduate admissions, faculty searches, promotion and tenure decisions, exhibitions, visiting lectures and many other areas were managed by committees composed by faculty from all academic units. One undergraduate and one graduate student served on each of these committees, with voting rights.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>New degree programs were created<\/strong>: Product Design had begun in 1958; Visual Design was added, initially as a program within Product Design. Design Fundamentals was also added, later to become Art and Design. Graduate studies in each department were initiated.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In the 1980s, other changes began under Dean McKinney, then continued under Deans Thomas Regan (1989-1994), and Marvin Malecha (1994-2015). They continue now under Dean Mark Hoversten (2015 \u2013 present). The most notable of these were:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>New faculty models were introduced:<\/strong> A transition from the initial emphasis on teaching and the education of the next generation of designers, as might be appropriate for a land-grant university, to broader and more diverse models. Graduate education, starting with masters-level degrees, but later PhD in Design and Doctor of Design degrees would be introduced. These programs attracted more university support than undergraduate education. The metrics of a Research-1 University affected these decisions. With these new models, faculty sometimes taught less and pursued research, preferably externally funded research, which had the potential to financially benefit the school and university in ways that became necessary as support from the NC Legislature diminished.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>Centers were created:<\/strong> As clusters of research projects arose, they sometimes led to academic or non-academic units that engaged faculty and students, sometimes supplemented by professional staff to carry out projects. The Community Design Center and the Center for Universal Design are examples that were relevant to architecture.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>Doing more with less:<\/strong> As enrollments in architecture increased, as degree options increased, and as new faculty models were introduced, it is important to note that the number of architecture faculty stayed the same, or even declined. The number of full-time faculty in architecture peaked at 17 in the early 1970s. We now offer a wide array of architecture degrees, and do so with only 14-16 full-time faculty members, and two faculty with dual appointments to degree programs other than architecture. Increasingly vital is the support of over a dozen professors of the practice who generously contribute their time and talent to the teaching of many studios and courses. In fact, the current curricula could not be taught if using only our full-time faculty. The architecture program has an exemplary relationship with the practice community.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2><strong>People<\/strong><\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Clarity of vision requires capable people who can articulate that vision in such a way that others can give it life. It began with Henry Kamphoefner, but he was greatly assisted by Lewis Mumford, a part-time faculty member who set out the philosophical direction and curriculum of the young school, and who urged the dean to hire Matthew Nowicki as the first department head of architecture. Though Nowicki was only able to serve as head for two years before his tragic death in an airplane crash when returning after two months working on the design of India\u2019s new nation\u2019s capital of Chandigarh. Nowicki\u2019s 1950 design of Dorton Arena would be realized by his collaborator William Henley Dietrick in 1952, two years after Nowicki\u2019s death.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Argentine-born architect Eduardo Catalano became head of architecture in 1951 and remained until 1956 when he took a faculty position at MIT. During his time as head, the stature of the architecture program grew substantially, fueled by the achievements of faculty and students.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A novel administrative model was in place between 1956 and 1967, in which Henry Kamphoefner was both dean of the school and de facto dead of the Department of Architecture.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Robert \u201cBob\u201d Burns, a native of Roxboro, North Carolina, studied under Catalano here and earned his Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1957. He completed graduate studies at MIT, again studying under Catalano, and then working for several years in Catalano\u2019s architectural practice in Boston on several substantial projects. Bob returned to Raleigh in 1965 and became one of our most important and effective faculty members. Bob was head of architecture in multiple stints beginning in 1967, adding up to seventeen years as head. During some of those years he was also associate dean for academics at the school\/college level. Bob was an inspiration to the thousand or more students he taught, and to the faculty colleagues that he mentored. Many of these alums went on to leadership roles in practice and academia. In architecture faculty meetings, while many of us struggled with the complexities of the problems being discussed, Bob would step in to gracefully chart a vivid path to elegant solutions.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Clearly, the intellectual \u201cfamily tree\u201d of architecture may have begun with Henry Kamphoefner, but it continues to grow and branch into directions not foreseen by the school\u2019s founders, through the efforts of many who came after them.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Let\u2019s summarize here some of the means used to bring great people to the School of Design and the Department of Architecture.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>Distinguished Visitors Program<\/strong>: When the School of Design was founded, one faculty position was kept vacant to fund this program. During the period from 1948 \u2013 1973, a total of 111 leading educators and practitioners came here not just for lectures, but for extended visits. This brought the most talented designers and architects from around the world to the studios in Raleigh, where students could collaborate with them on projects. This assured ongoing intellectual diversity and kept the pot boiling. This stimulating learning environment attracted educators seeking permanent faculty positions as well.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item -->\n\n<!-- wp:list-item -->\n<li><strong>Selective admissions<\/strong>: Unlike most public university departments, some of which admitted about three times more students than they intended to graduate, this program had a famously low admissions rate and a single-digit attrition rate (the percent of admitted students who do not graduate). Most of the students lost to attrition chose another major; they did not fail academically. Dean McKinney reported that School of Design majors had higher grades in university chemistry classes than the chemistry majors, and that they did better in English than the English majors. By accepting only about one-tenth of the applicants, faculty energy can be directed to teaching, and little energy is spent on students who do not matriculate. And this comes despite our focus in interviews of applicants being on the candidate\u2019s portfolio and what they are thinking, not on their GPAs or SAT scores. In the current year\u2019s undergraduate admissions process, again only about 10% of applicants were accepted.<\/li>\n<!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":27185,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/design.ncsu.edu\/architecture\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/01\/4-1972-JohnSawyerPresents-copy-2_web-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Presentation by John Sawyer, 1972.

Many of the part-time professors of the practice (formerly known as adjunct faculty) who teach studios and courses are AIA Fellows. This talent pool is a rich resource for our students; they serve as role models for emerging professionals. Regarding our permanent faculty, at one time, five of our fourteen full-time faculty in architecture were AIA Fellows.
