James Eckler is the Interim Dean of the Reap College of Creative and Professional Studies at 澳门六合彩开奖记录资料 . He is an internationally recognized author having published and presented his research extensively; including two books and numerous papers. He holds an M.ARCH and MSAS with a focus in Architectural Pedagogy from the University of Florida.
Leveraging his background in architecture, he seeks to bring a data-driven and strategic approach to institutional administration. He couples this logic with a leadership model predicated on team building that empowers the membership of the college to act in an interconnected and interdisciplinary way.
Over the course of his career he has sought to find the intersections between architecture, urban space making, and design pedagogies. Specifically, he is interested in the notion of interiority as it exists at the scale of the city. His agenda asks if we can conceptualize shared urban spaces as interior relative to the experiential qualities of dwelling. If so, the roles an individual piece of architecture plays in defining urban interior space are subject to critical scrutiny.
This line of inquiry positions architecture as a principal agent in fostering community. His research is ongoing and operates in parallel with his pedagogical agenda in which he crafts studios and seminars to address these issues with students. Essential to the transition of research into pedagogy is the potential for the student/designer to speculate urban futures and conceive architecture as formative to context.
