For over a decade, the University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation has been providing research and study opportunities for students and faculty in Stabiae, an important historical site south of Pompeii in Naples, Italy. A beautiful seaside area once home to the powerful Roman elite, Stabiae was buried by over 70 meters of volcanic ash with the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
The National Council of Architecture Registration Boards (NCARB) has accepted the University of Maryland’s architecture program into the Integrated Path to Architectural Licensure (IPAL) initiative. By blending experience and examination into the curricula, the initiative will provide students with the opportunity to compete licensure requirements while earning a degree, forging an accelerated path to professional practice.
Shortly after the spring semester dust settled in College Park, Adjunct Associate Professor Dennis Pogue and Faculty Research Associate Kirsten Crase took six historic preservation students to UMD’s home across the pond: the majestic Kiplin Hall, situated in the rolling countryside of North Yorkshire, England. The students spent a month engaging the historic preservation program’s long-term survey of the former farm properties of Kiplin Estate, most of which were sold off in the early part of the 20th century.
