The Architecture Department at Cal Poly is committed to the support of faculty research. Our faculty are actively engaged in a range of scholarship activities in keeping with the definitions provided by the Boyer Report (scholarship of application, discovery, integration and teaching) and their work is an example of the efforts made to create a synergy between teaching and learning –a paradigm that continues to nurture many debates and adjustments in the academic environment.
Each of the entries on this page are also published by the Architecture Department’s AeDPress in the annual compilation titled Faculty Scholarship Pamphlets. For additional information about these publication and other faculty books, please visit Publication web page.
