An extensive interview with Wiel Arets is published in 'Architect'
Architect, the official magazine of the American Institute of Architects, has published an extensive interview between Wiel Arets and Stanley Tigerman, the former director of the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Arets and Tigerman begin the conversation by discussing Arets' previous teaching experiences, and how these experiences shape his approach to academia. Arets continues by emphasizing his belief in research and cross-discipline collaboration, the ways in which the school's degree programs might evolve, and how he foresees the school becoming an international meeting-point for poignant architectural and design debate.
