San Diego Architectural Foundation

Newschool of Architecture & Design welcomes new Dean Chris Genik on October 4. Taking over for Gil Cooke, Genik is principal of the Santa Monica-based Daly Genik Architects.
  
This passing of the torch promises the start of an exciting new era for NewSchool, as Genik’s vision involves infusing its curriculum with “innovative and experimental practice.”

“Schools today are confronted by a profession that is in flux.” Genik stated in an interview with The Architect’s Newspaper; something that’s been on the minds and lips of many architectural educators of late. His first course of action to offset the instability? Encourage innovation.

We like him already.
