Chronicle of Higher Education: Architecture dean discusses student redesigns of public spaces

An article in the Chronicle of Higher Education interviews Brian Carter, dean of the School of Architecture and Planning, about the school's students working on "small projects," efforts to redesign much-used public spaces, both to enliven the surroundings and to give students real training. One of the difficulties of being a young architect in America, he says, is there are too few opportunities to break into the field and show one's work. The small projects offer those opportunities.
