In development

End-of-semester reviews in architecture school are among the toughest rites of passage in academia. You pin up the culmination of a semester's worth of late-night inspiration and perspiration and suffer the scrutiny of an assortment of cranky, fickle, famous architects whom you'd very much like to impress. This third-year review in May, on the fourth floor of the Art & Architecture Building, was a little different from usual, though, because the students were also being judged by real estate developers -- who wield enormous influence over the built world but usually little in architecture schools. These students, whose assignment was a fashion museum and school in Milan, were taught by noted German architect Stefan Behnisch (standing, fourth from left, hands clasped) and prolific developer Gerald Hines (foreground, with head bowed). Hines was the first recipient of the Edward P. Bass Distinguished Architecture Fellowship, created to bring developers to the school to teach.
