Nicholas de Monchaux has been appointed head of the department of architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/a> (MIT) School of Architecture and Planning. He will begin his role in July. He joins the department as professor of architecture and urbanism.<\/p>\n

An internationally renowned scholar, educator, designer, architect, urbanist, and public intellectual, de Monchaux will bring extensive experience and a broad perspective to lead the department at a time of rapid technological change, enormous environmental challenges, and equally sweeping social shifts, MIT said.<\/p>\n

He joins the department from University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), where he taught since 2006, most recently as professor of architecture and urban design, and the Craigslist Distinguished Professor of New Media. From 2016 to 2019, he was director of the Berkeley Center for New Media. With Kathryn Moll, he is principal of Modem<\/a>, a practice emphasizing social and ecological concerns and whose cultural and community-focused work has been exhibited widely.<\/p>\n

He holds a BA with distinction in architecture from Yale University and an MArch from Princeton University, and is a fellow of the American Academy in Rome.<\/p>\n

Professor Andrew Scott will continue in the role of interim department head through the end of the spring semester.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
