On November 11, 2016, Dean Kirkbride joined his fellow deans and representatives from eleven schools of architecture at New York’s Center for Architecture for a remarkably candid and substantive roundtable discussion of current directions in architectural education and responses to a controversial letter from AIA National shortly following the 2016 U.S. National Election. Hosted by AIANY and the CFA, and moderated by Craig Barton, the conversation included Winka Dubbledam (UPenn), Urs Gauchat (NJIT), Gordon Gebert (City College of NY), Toni Griffin (Harvard), Dr. Kirkbride (Parsons SCE), Bimal Mendis (Yale), Maria Perbellini (NYIT), Robert Shibley (SUNY Buffalo), Nader Tehrani (Cooper Union) and Meejin Yoon (MIT).
