KRIS YAO | ARTECH, a firm founded 40 years ago by UC Berkeley alum Kris Yao (MArch 1978), Hon. FAIA, was honored this year with the AIA International Firm Award.

The City of Berkeley greenlights a street redesign based on the work of Master of City Planning students’ plan, Oxford for All, continuing the College of Environmental Design’s tradition of making tangible impacts in our community.

The College of Environmental Design is pleased to announce it has received an innovative gift from alum Karen Swett Conway (BA Architecture 1982) that aims to position CED at the forefront of creative new modes of design practice and teaching. “Giving CED faculty the opportunity to explore new forms of practice is essential for sustaining the quality and rigor of design education and the profession,” says Conway.

Remembering Professor Emeritus of Architecture Lars Lerup (BArch 1968), an educator who thrilled students with his electrifying lectures and brilliant critiques, and an inspiring mentor who built a community of like-minded architectural visionaries.
