J. Meejin Yoon, AIA FAAR, is the Gale and Ira Drukier Dean at the
College of Architecture, Art, and Planning (AAP) at Cornell
University and cofounder of Höweler + Yoon, an award-winning
design studio engaged in projects across the U.S. and around the
world. An architect, designer, and educator, Meejin is committed
to advancing pedagogy, research, and practice to expand new
knowledge across fields and disciplines, and to bringing deep
expertise to the urgent environmental and social challenges
facing our cities and communities.


In this episode, Meejin talks about her journey to becoming Dean
at Cornell AAP, why she always wanted to maintain a creative
practice alongside teaching, and what qualities she thinks makes
someone a good architecture professor. Meejin also talks about
how making the architecture discipline more accessible will make
it more impactful, and how our disciplines in the built
environment have to step up at this moment to address climate
change, justice and equity in ways we haven’t before.
