First Bass Scholar named
Architecture student Stephen Gage ’12MArch will be the first Yale Bass Scholar in Architecture following his graduation in May. He will enroll in a one-year program at Cambridge University and earn an MPhil degree in architecture. The Bass Scholars in Architecture program, sponsored by Edward P. Bass ’68,’72ArtA, will fund an exchange of students between Cambridge and Yale Universities. Each year, one recent graduate of Yale will be selected to attend Cambridge, and one recent graduate of Cambridge will be chosen to enroll at Yale School of Architecture in either the MArch II program or the master of environmental design program.
Discussing parks, politics, and people
Lectures at the school this semester bring prominent architects, designers, and scholars to discuss various aspects of architectural design. On March 29 the Myriam Bellazoug Memorial Lecture will feature Adrian Benepe, commissioner of New York City Parks and Recreation, speaking on “Sustainable Parks for the 21st Century.” In April experimental French architect François Roche presents “The Risk(s) of Hiring Me,” while in the same week CUNY professor Neil Smith presents the Roth-Symonds Lecture, “Toxic Capitalism: Neoliberalism, City Building and Crisis.” Also in April, Eero Saarinen Visiting Professor Frank O. Gehry will hold a public “conversation” with Pulitzer Prize–winning architecture critic Paul Goldberger ’72 as part of the open house for admitted students. And wrapping up the season will be the Poynter Fellow in Journalism Lecture featuring New York Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman ’80.
