On this episode, I sat down with Rodolphe El-Khoury 86 BArch, Hashim Sarkis 85 BArch, Nader Tehrani 86 BArch. We spoke about how their friendship, formed in the RISD Architecture Department, led them to their current positions as the deans of the University of Miami School of Architecture, MIT School of Architecture and Planning, and The Cooper Union School of Architecture. We were curious if there was a special ingredient at RISD which produced three great leaders. And we even asked if they are interested in becoming the next department head at RISD Architecture... only kidding, of course.

S2E5: Rodolphe El-Khoury, Hashim Sarkis, Nader Tehrani

Before coming to MIT to serve as dean of the School of Architecture + Planning in January 2014, Hashim Sarkis taught at Harvard's GSD as the Aga Khan professor of Landscape Architecture and Urbanism in Muslim Societies. He founded his own practice, Hashim Sarkis Studios, in Cambridge in 1998, and continues to lead the firm. Sarkis’s experience working in two of the most highly-regarded architectural education institutions worldwide, while also managing his own firm, puts him in a unique position to approach theoretical questions of architecture from within the two, often discordant spheres of academia and practice. Our interview revolves around the same questions we ask in our Deans List series – how architecture education and practice are changing, how to address student needs, MIT’s particular take on how to cultivate exceptional architects, and the culture of the school in a global urban context.
