History and Perspectives of the School

History

Architecture as an art was taught at the Yale School of the Fine Arts in the late nineteenth century. Precedence for this pioneering in art education was set as early as 1832 when the Trumbull Art Gallery (the first university-connected gallery in the country) was opened. This event signaled a commitment to education in the arts that culminated in 1869 with the opening of the Yale School of the Fine Arts, under the direction of John Ferguson Weir.

The appointment in 1905 of a full-time professor of architecture to the faculty of the School of the Fine Arts led to the establishment in 1916 of a Department of Architecture with Professor Everett Victor Meeks at its head. The department offered a three-year course leading to a certificate, with an optional fourth year of advanced work. In 1930 the professional nature of the program was made more explicit when the department ended its dependence on the Sheffield Scientific School by undertaking instruction in mathematics and structures.

In the same year the department moved to Weir Hall, an example of Yale's eclectic approach to architecture at that time. Originally designed by George Douglas Miller, it was completed under the guidance of Professor Meeks. In 1953 the School of Art and Architecture, as it had become known, moved to the new Art Gallery wing designed by Louis I. Kahn, in collaboration with the office of Douglas Orr. But the burgeoning School soon outgrew these quarters and, in 1963, relocated across the street into the Art & Architecture building designed by Paul Rudolph.

An important milestone for architecture in the School's history was the conferring in 1942 of the first Bachelor of Architecture degree in lieu of the Bachelor of Fine Arts in Architecture. Awarding of the Master of Architecture degree followed in 1947.

In response to pressure generated by accelerating urbanization, studies in city planning were introduced at the School in 1941, leading to the establishment in 1950 of a Master of City Planning degree. In 1961, a Department of City Planning was established and, in 1963, an additional degree program, Master of Urban Studies, was begun.

The School of Art and Architecture in 1959 emerged with full graduate status, requiring the prior possession of a Bachelor of Arts or Science degree for admission. In 1967 the Department of Architecture made its graduate status more explicit when it commenced offering a master's rather than a bachelor's as its first professional degree in architecture.

Since the relocation in 1963, changes at the School, as throughout the entire academic world, have been rapid and sometimes abrupt. In 1966 the degree of Master of Environmental Design was inaugurated; in 1969 the School of Art and Architecture was reconstituted as the Faculty in Art and the Faculties in Design and Planning, each with its own dean. The School stopped offering degrees in City Planning and Urban Studies after the end of the 1971-72 academic year, incorporating aspects of these courses of study most closely related to the physical and spatial concerns of architectural design into the curricula in architecture and in environmental design.

On May 6, 1972, the Yale Corporation made definitive its 1969 action creating two autonomous schools out of the School of Art and Architecture by designating a School of Art and a School of Architecture. The two schools, though working in close association, are administratively separate. The School of Architecture offers a three-year program leading to the degree of Master of Architecture and a two-year post-professional option also leading to the degree of Master of Architecture. The School also offers a two-year program for advanced, independent research leading to the degree of Master of Environmental Design. The School of Architecture and the School of Management offer a joint-degree program leading to a degree of Master of Architecture and Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.).

Perspectives

The task of architecture is the creation of human environments. It is both an expression of human values and a context for human activity. Through the design process, architecture addresses the interrelated physical, behavioral, and cultural issues that underlie the organization of built form. The student of architecture is called upon to direct sensitivity, imagination, and intellect to the physical significance of these fundamental issues in designing a coherent environment for people. Architectural design as a comprehensive creative process is the focus of the Yale School of Architecture.
