Prof. Martin Bressani named next Director of School

The School of Architecture welcomes Prof. Martin Bressani as its next Director for a three-year term, effective September 1, 2015, until August 31, 2018.  This appointment follows a search conducted this past spring by the Search Advisory Committee chaired by Dean Jim Nicell.

As noted in the Dean’s announcement this morning (July 7),  Prof. Bressani joined the School in 2001 as an Associate Professor, following approximately 14 years in the School of Architecture at Carleton University.  His area of expertise is the history of modern architecture, with an emphasis on France, and with a growing interest in developments in England from the late-enlightenment to the end of the nineteenth century.  He was recently promoted to the rank of Full Professor, in acknowledgement of his long-standing and considerable scholarly contributions and his international reputation in his field of study.  He has a long track record of service to the School, including, most recently, a five-year appointment as Associate Director of the post-professional programs and Graduate Program Director.

The Dean also thanked Prof. Annmarie Adams for her exceptional service and commitment as she begins a sabbatical leave, finishing her four-year term as Director.
