DESIGN IN ACTION
At the Christopher C. Gibbs College of Architecture (GCA), we imagine a future in which all communities are designed for resiliency and empowered to maximize their social, economic and environmental well-being. The GCA aims to cultivate high-performing industry professionals, measurable community impact, and peer-reviewed research and creative activity at the leading edges of our allied disciplines: Architecture, Construction Science, Environmental Design, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, Regional & City Planning, and Urban Design.
In the Spring of 2020, the University of Oklahoma will host “Schools of Thought: Rethinking Architectural Pedagogy.” Read more.
