Each semester, senior architecture students participate in the Guest Critic Program, which brings leading architects and scholars from around the world to the school. This fall there will be three studios on campus.
The School of Architecture also offers fourth-year architecture students living in China the opportunity to enroll in a Shanghai Critics’ Dormitory taught by one of China’s leading young architects.
Gary Bates (Space Group, Makemake Agency)
Gary Bates
Gary Bates will teach the guest review studio Live, which examines university student living from different perspectives. Students will explore the urban morphology of centralization – in this case, campus – where college unbundling has been fully exposed amid the COVID pandemic. By uncovering and researching current and alternative living models as well as the typology of living and the human elements, the students develop a strategic plan, conceptual design, models and methods for future-oriented living scenarios in a world that is affected by COVID, climate change and racial accounting.
Bates founded the Spacegroup (Oslo) together with Gro Bonesmo in 1999. Spacegroup quickly made a name for itself as an architect and planner with projects such as the Prostneset Ferry Terminal in Tromsø, the Vestbane National Library, the Filipstad Masterplan and the Louisville 25-Year Vision Plan.
Bates studied at Virginia Polytechnic University and State University (1985-90). He started working with Rem Koolhaas in 1992 at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), where he was director and from 1995 to 1998 head of the Asia desk. He was visiting professor at the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Kentucky, the Oslo School of Architecture and the Berlage Institute in the Netherlands.
Katherine Hogan and Vincent Petrarca (Katherine Hogan Architects)
Katherine Hogan and Vincent Petrarca will teach the Housing Types and Typologies guest review studio, which focuses on housing design, specifically developing prototypes for future student dormitories on the Syracuse University campus and elsewhere. The studio will explore the typology of university housing through precedents, research and site studies, and build a dynamic relationship between students and the university community. The students visit university actors, gain insights from housing developers and learn from architects who are currently developing innovative housing solutions in their own practice. By studying building systems, structural strategies, environmental control / energy and housing assemblies and details, as well as previous building design courses, students will gain a better understanding of the architectural implications and confidence in the process of architectural creation.

Since 2015 he has also been a guest critic at the Syracuse University School of Architecture.
Paul Preissner (Paul Preissner Architects)
Paul Preissner
Paul Preissner, AIA, will teach the visiting critics studio “Tar, Dirt, Concrete, and Maybe Wood”, which explores architecture as a construction that takes something profound, but necessarily has every meaning (nature) and creates something else, that’s superficial , boring and meaningful (architecture). The studio’s focus will be on the genesis and organization of fundamental things (be it materials or social spaces) to examine the two genealogies that formed the critical basis of the architectural dialogue: abstraction and thingness. Abstraction refers to the parts of an architectural project that exist within the mind, while thingness sits as the reality that enables meaning. The students surround themselves with the topics of nature and look for a more objective understanding of society through personal reflection. You work with each of the materials and configure them into a building that does not refer or represent anything, but enables everything; it is not an abstraction or a metaphor, but exists as the physical reality of imagined activities; That’s it. With some of what they have learned from themselves in the last year and the understanding of the newly discovered social appreciation, but still an unexercised need for self-reflection and self-criticism, the students design the social space and the private space in the form of cubicles ( s) in the forest.
Preissner is an architect and educator. He is the founder of Paul Preissner Architects based in Chicago. Preissner is Commissioner and Co-Curator of the United States Pavilion at the 17th International Architecture Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia. He is a professor at the University of Illinois – Chicago School of Architecture and author of “Kind of Boring: Canonical Work and Other Visible Things Meant to Be Viewed as Architecture” (Actar, 2020).
Preissner will give a public lecture at the school on October 21st at 5.30pm in the Slocum Auditorium.
Liu ZY (SANAA)
Liu ZY
Liu ZY will teach the Shanghai-based guest review studio “On the Edge” which will attempt to rethink the Hongshan Zoo in Nanjing City, China. Due to the city’s unprecedented urban expansion over the past two decades, the Hongshan Zoo, which used to be on the outskirts of the city, is now surrounded by an urbanized environment. The changed boundary conditions between the city and the zoo become the starting point for the retrospective proposal of the students. Just as the city enveloped the zoo, so too has human interference changed the zoo’s activities. On the border between city and zoo, nature and culture, people and animals, this studio calls for an open framework that could bring these polar conditions into harmony with new hybrid possibilities.
Liu ZY has worked as a project architect at both SANAA and KSA (Kazuyo Sejima and Associates) in Tokyo, Japan, since 2018, and is responsible for major works in China, including the Suzhou Shishan Theater, the Kunshan Museum and mixed cultural spaces. His previous professional experience includes Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects, standardarchitecture and URBANUS.
Prior to joining SANAA, Liu ZY received a teaching scholarship from Yale University, taught a design studio at Southeast University and assisted in the Suzhou Garden Class at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). He has curated exhibitions at the Yale School of Architecture and Beijing Design Week, and has published articles in academic journals such as Retrospecta, Perspecta, Construct, Time Architecture, and others.
He received a master’s degree in architecture from the Yale School of Architecture and a bachelor’s degree from UNSW.
