Description: The University of Notre Dame School of Architecture
Restoring reason, beauty, and faith in Architecture
The need for right dwelling and shelter, for a sense of place, is deeply embedded in the human character. Over the centuries, architects served this need as makers of buildings and cities, shaping the structures that cradled the pulse of humanity and fostered communal living. As shown in the vast theater of memory that we call history, our most successful modes of dwelling occurred when Nature, the City, and Architecture achieved a mutual congruence, accord, and balance. That is why humanity's great edifices stood not only as testimonies to our collective journey and our highest aspirations, but also as exemplars of wise building practices. In all corners of the planet, the monotonous sameness in architecture today compels the rational observer to ask: Where is home? Where is the sense of place?
At the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture, we hold the conviction that tradition and modernity are not opposite. Rather, they can be complementary concepts. Put differently, various traditions and modernities are kindred spirits within the architectural experience all over the world. For over thirty years the great achievements of the classical tradition have underpinned the teaching of the School of Architecture and continue to inspire our students to excel.
We impart to our students the significance of the continuity of ideas and forms, of architecture as the shaper of collective living, of architecture as a solid and durable expression that is measured by centuries and not by a mere few years. Durability, here, is understood on ecological and architectural levels, and on a planetary scale. Because of that, our students have undertaken projects in many parts of the United States and countries around the world—places where Nature, the sense of place, the regional traditions, the composition of edifices, and solid construction are of paramount importance.
The University seeks to attract, develop, and retain the highest quality faculty, staff and administration. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, it is committed to building a culturally inclusive workplace. We strongly encourage applications from female and minority candidates and those candidates attracted to a school and to a university with a Catholic mission and identity.
