David Leatherbarrow is the 2020 recipient of the Topaz Medallion for Excellence in Architectural Education by the\u00a0American Institute of Architects<\/a>\u00a0(AIA) and Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture<\/a> (ACSA).<\/p>\n

The award honors an individual who has been intensely involved in architecture education for more than a decade and whose teaching has influenced a broad range of students.<\/p>\n

For nearly four decades, professor David Leatherbarrow has trained reflective practitioners through his graduate and undergraduate courses exploring the interdependence of design and theory. One of the world\u2019s leading experts in the history and theory of architecture, he has supervised 30 dissertations and advised an additional 30 that included prominent leaders from around the world, AIA said.<\/p>\n

\u201cProfessor Leatherbarrow\u2019s work moves effortlessly between architectural history, cultural theory, and environmental ethics, making his teaching particularly relevant in today\u2019s world,\u201d wrote Professor Mari Hvattum of the Oslo School of Architecture and Design in a letter supporting Leatherbarrow\u2019s nomination. \u201cStudents intuit this relevance immediately, and I have rarely sensed such a poignant concentration as during his lectures or seminars.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
