The Cooper Union<\/a> has appointed<\/a> Michael Young as the next dean of the Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture. The appointment, taking effect April 1st, 2026, follows a search by the institution, which was previously featured as part of our Job Highlights series<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Young currently serves as an associate professor and coordinator of graduate studies at the architecture school. Young is also the founding partner of Young & Ayata<\/a> whose accolades include the Progressive Architecture Award, Design Vanguard Award, AIANY<\/a> Honor Award, and, most recently, the Architecture Award from the American Academy of Arts & Letters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Young has also authored several books, including The Estranged Object (Graham Foundation, 2015) and Reality Modeled After Images (Routledge, 2022), and has taught at several institutions, including Yale University<\/a> and UC Berkeley<\/a>. Young was the recipient of the Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome for 2019\u20132020.<\/p>\n

\u201cMichael Young represents the best of us,\u201d said Benjamin Aranda, acting dean of The Cooper Union\u2019s Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture. \u201cHe is a dedicated teacher, inspiring architect, and distinguished academic, whose new role as dean formalizes the longstanding leadership he commands here among both students and faculty. I have the highest ambitions for our future together and can think of no one better to steward this precious institution forward.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
