We are excited to hear that our Dean, Marilyn Jordan Taylor, and the Chair of Architecture, Winka Dubbeldam, are among the “30 Most Admired Educators” for 2015, according to DesignIntelligence. Dean Taylor was noted as a “brilliant, inspiration[al] leader,” cited for her efforts to integrate a variety of subjects in the design, including design theory, sustainability and technical issues between architecture, planning and landscape architecture. “Taylor is known as strategic and hardworking; she creates opportunities for everyone around her,” the report summarized. Professor Dubbeldam, meanwhile, was heralded for bringing a “fresh, new vision to PennDesign, as well as a great new attitude.” A noted practitioner as founder of the New York-based firm Archi-Tectonics, Dubbeldam was praised as “forward-thinking” and leading with “clarity and intent, with the purpose of promoting the profession.”
