Professor
Williams, who joined the Architecture faculty in the fall of 2006, plans
to use this fellowship to continue his research and creative work
focused on the relationship between space and learning, and the ways in
which architecture can be didactic, transparent, and revelatory as an
active contributor to the process of learning. He is the second recipient of this prestigious Welcome Fellowship at the School of Architecture, Planning, & Preservation. This
Fellowship was previously awarded to Dr. Angel David Nieves, Assistant
Professor of Historic Preservation, upon joining the University.
