New Architectural History faculty at SCAD

The Architectural History department is proud to see the addition of two new faculty. The retirement of Karl Schuler, Ph.D., as a full-time faculty allowed the department to add Brunella Angeli (Ph.D., Politechnico di Milano), who specializes in modern architecture and theory and joined the department in fall 2022. In October 2022 she delivered an inaugural public talk to introduce her to the SCAD community focusing on her dissertation subject — the architecture of world’s fairs. This fall, we expanded to nine full-time faculty to help deliver history classes to the growing number of students at SCAD and especially the growing ranks of Building Arts students. Kelly Ritter (Ph.D., University of Virginia) specializes in South and East Asian architecture, as well as modern visual culture. Last month she delivered her inaugural public talk likewise drawing on her dissertation — popular visual representations of modern Shanghai.
