Faculty members at The University of New Mexico School of Architecture and Planning (SA&P) are using their competitive nature to bring international attention to UNM.
Katya Crawford, an SA&P associate professor of landscape architecture, teamed up with new faculty members Ane Gonzalez Lara and Kathleen Kambic to enter several design competitions. Gonzalez Lara is an assistant professor of architecture, while Kambic is an assistant professor of landscape architecture; and the trio is having early successes, despite just recently joining forces.
“A competition is good for design research for the tenure track. As it was Ane and Kathy’s first semester,” Crawford said, “one always knows how important tenure is; it stays in the back of the mind. I wanted them to not be worried, but to enjoy the start of their process.”
