School of Architecture

Leaders in Design

Yale School of Architecture educates architects, scholars, teachers, and leaders who will shape the future through design. Our students take an interdisciplinary approach to designing built environments, and through their work, they strive to address big challenges, from climate change to inequality. During this campaign, gifts to the School of Architecture will advance key priorities: diversity, affordability, great teaching, and excellent, sustainable design. You can help our students reach their highest potential, to the benefit of all.

Welcoming Diversity

Intellectual diversity enriches the discourse that happens at the Yale School of Architecture. Architecture is a collaborative discipline that brings together many perspectives to create designs that meet the needs of clients, communities, and the environment. And our student body, an increasingly diverse group, brings different academic backgrounds to the table—engineering, philosophy, studio art, and biology—encouraging multidisciplinary approaches to the problems we solve. Your gifts to fellowships and program funds directly support these students.

Impact through Design

We understand architecture as the most public of arts, and as a discipline that is inextricably linked to others, including the humanities, the social and physical sciences, the arts, business, and finance. With the complexity of today’s globalized world—rapid urbanization, climate change, contested spatial and geographic borders, increasing disparities in living conditions—architecture has never been more important, more challenging to create, and more potentially transformative. Your support of the school, through professorships, program funds, equipment, and financial aid, has far reaching impact.
