Patrice is dedicated to fostering new forms of scholarship and practice in a field that is becoming increasingly critical to the future of architecture, cities and the environment. I look forward to supporting her as she builds on the program’s outstanding qualities to make it both an indispensable contributor to the school’s vitality and academic ecology, and a leader in shaping the future of the field of Real Estate Development,” said Dean Amale Andraos.
