The University will hold a symposium to honor Robert Geddes, the first dean of the University's School of Architecture, on Nov. 13.
The School plans to have an event to honor Geddes' career, followed by a panel discussion about the future of the profession, featuring leaders in the field of architecture.
"Dean Geddes recognized the important position the School had at the University," said Cynthia Nelson, administrator of the School of Architecture.
Brought to the University by President Robert Goheen in 1965, Geddes was the first dean of the independent School of Architecture, which had previously been part of the Department of Art and Archaeology.
Under Geddes' leadership, the school developed into one of the premier architecture schools in the nation by the end of his tenure.
Since his departure from the School of Architecture, Geddes has worked at a private firm. But he continued his relationship with Princeton, founding Princeton Future — an organization to revitalize the downtown — with Goheen in 2001.
According to the University press release, the first part of the program will be a tribute to Geddes, followed by a symposium on architectural education led by some of Geddes' former students, including the deans of the schools of architecture at the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Michigan.
The event was originally planned for last winter, but was postponed because of a snow storm.
