The College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP) is the school of architecture at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. It offers 20 undergraduate and graduate degrees in five departments: architecture, art, urban planning, real estate, and design technology.[2] Aside from its main campus in Ithaca, AAP offers programs in Rome, Italy and in New York City, New York.[3]

AAP is the only department in the Ivy League to offer a Bachelor of Architecture degree. It has one of the largest endowments of any architecture program, including a $20 million endowment by Cayuga County resident Ruth Price Thomas in 2002.[4] The Master of Regional Planning (M.R.P.) professional degree program at AAP has been consistently ranked in the top 10 in the nation, according to Planetizen's Guide to Graduate Urban Planning Programs.[5]

The college is divided into five departments: Architecture, Art, City and Regional Planning, Real Estate, and Design Tech. In 2019, the college was the third most selective in the university, with an acceptance rate of 10.25%.[6]

The Department of Architecture is one of the oldest architecture programs in the United States, offering NAAB-accredited degree programs that provide a foundation in the history, theory and practice of architecture. In addition to the Professional Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) and undergraduate minor, the department offers the following graduate degrees: Professional Master of Architecture (M.Arch.); Post-Professional Master of Science (M.S.) in Advanced Architectural Design; and a Ph.D. in the History of Architecture and Urban Development. The department also offers M.S. degrees in Computer Graphics and Matter Design Computation.

The Department of Art offers four-year Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) and two-year Master of Fine Arts (M.F.A.) degrees. The B.F.A. program requires students to complete coursework in various mediums of visual art, but provides opportunity to take classes outside of the department. The M.F.A. program encourages both interdisciplinary and medium-specific practices, depending on the interest of the student.

The Department of City and Regional Planning (CRP) is home to programs in planning, historic preservation, and urban and regional studies. Students work closely with a special thesis committee of their choosing that can include faculty members from across the university. CRP offers a Bachelor of Science in urban and regional studies (URS) that encompasses an interdisciplinary, liberal arts course of study focused on the forces that shape the social, economic, and political character and physical form of urban/suburban areas and their surrounding regions. CRP also offers an urban and regional studies minor for students not enrolled in the URS program. An accelerated M.R.P. degree option is available to graduates of the URS program. There are a variety of five-year dual degree options available to URS students in fields including engineering, landscape architecture, and natural and social sciences. Additionally, CRP offers an M.S. and Ph.D. in regional science, and an M.A. in historic preservation planning. Cornell was one of the first institutions in the country to offer preservation classes and is internationally recognized as a leader in the field.

AAP also participates in the Baker Program in Real Estate, a graduate program held in partnership with Cornell's SC Johnson College of Business and School of Hotel Administration. The Hotel School houses the Baker Program and offers a minor in real estate for undergraduates. Students earning a bachelor's degree at the Hotel School can focus their studies on the design of hospitality and foodservice facilities or the creation of new hotels and restaurants.

History

the Mui Ho Fine Arts Library in Rand Hall houses the collection of books pertinent to the studies at AAP

In the period following the establishment of Cornell University, a proposal was put forth by President A.D. White to the university’s board of trustees advocating for the creation of an architectural program.[7] White argued that “Outside of the great metropolitan cities, there are very few architects who are really instructed in their profession [in America].”[7] Consequently, Cornell University's architecture department was established in 1871 as the School of Architecture with the hiring of architect Charles Babcock as the first professor.[8] It became the first university to offer a four-year course of study in architecture in the United States. By 1896, the College of Architecture expanded its curriculum to include courses in drawing, painting, and sculpture.[9] In 1921, an art department was officially incorporated.[9] The introduction of a City and Regional Planning program took place in 1935.[9] In 1967 the College of Architecture became the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning.[10]

AAP is currently the smallest of Cornell's seven undergraduate colleges and schools, with an undergraduate enrollment of 496 and a faculty of 56.[11][12]

AAP campuses

  • Main campus, Cornell University, Ithaca/NY, United States
  • AAP NYC, 26 Broadway, New York City/NY, United States[14]
  • Cornell in Rome at Palazzo Santacroce, Rome, Italy

The college occupies four buildings on the northern end of the Arts Quad. Located in Sibley Hall are offices for the City and Regional Planning and Architecture departments, the Cornell in Rome program, and the Office of the Dean. The Green Dragon Cafe and student lounge is located in the basement.

Olive Tjaden Hall is used by the Department of Art. It houses painting, drawing, photography and lithography studios, the Art department main office and faculty offices. Rand Hall housed studios and classrooms of the Department of Architecture until 2018 and is being renovated to house the Fine Arts Library and AAP shops. In 2011, the Fine Arts Library was moved from the Sibley Hall Dome to the top floor of Rand Hall, following a reorganization coinciding with the opening of adjacent Milstein Hall.

Directly behind Sibley, the OMA/Rem Koolhaas and Shohei Shigematsu-designed Milstein Hall (named after Paul Milstein) is a prominent cantilevered structure housing studio space that extends over University Avenue. The LEED-certified building features a stepped auditorium space for presentations and meetings, crit space, galleries, and a sunken garden. The unfinished building opened to students in the fall of 2011, with the ceremonial completion scheduled the following spring. In 2013, Milstein Hall was one of 11 buildings in the United States and Canada to receive an Honor Award for architectural design from the American Institute of Architects.[15][16]

Off-campus programs and facilities

The College of Architecture, Art, and Planning runs several off-campus programs. The most long standing is the Cornell in Rome, in which students from all three disciplines, as well as Cornell students from outside AAP, spend one semester in Rome studying architecture, art, urban planning, and Italian language, history, and culture.[17] Classes are taught both by Cornell professors and Rome-based faculty. The program is housed at the 17th-century Palazzo Santacroce in the historic center of Rome. The Department of Planning also offers a winter program on sustainability in Panama, and a summer program on urban development in Brazil.[18]

In 2006, the college opened AAP NYC, a 5,500-square-foot (510 m2) facility near Union Square in New York City, as a work and display space as well as a venue for Cornell events. AAP students can choose to spend one semester at AAP NYC, where they take studio and other classes. Students are also offered the option to intern at an architecture firm in the city.[19]

Gay slang term for a gay man A friend of Dorothy (FOD) is a euphemism for a gay man, first used in LGBT slang.[1] Stating that, or asking if someone is a friend of Dorothy, is a furtive way of suggesting sexual orientation while avoiding hostility.[2] The term was likely based on the character Dorothy Gale of the Oz series of novels, which have been interpreted as including much queer subtext. Actress Judy Garland, who portrayed Dorothy in the 1939 Wizard of Oz film, is considere…
