Architecture professor Gregory Herman is among 68 alumni of Rice University’s School of Architecture who is celebrated in a new book, The Things They’ve Done, by longtime Rice professor William T. Cannady. The richly illustrated profiles demonstrate a wide range of career choices among the group: architectural design, to be sure, but also teaching, painting, acting, photography, real estate development and space craft design. Herman is in good company: among the others profiled are classmate Charles H. Renfro, a partner with Diller Scofidio + Renfro of New York and Los Angeles architect Randall Stout, who was the Fay Jones Visiting Professor at the University of Arkansas School of Architecture last year.
After earning his M. Arch. From Rice, Herman practiced in Boston and became a licensed architect. Since coming to the University of Arkansas in 1991, he has taught design at every level of the curriculum, led studio classes in Mexico City, and helped students succeed in challenging technology courses. He also has developed a diverse series of courses that reflect his research interests, ranging from a history of American building technologies to the exploration of modular construction in design/build initiatives. The School of Architecture has honored Herman with the Mott Outstanding Teacher Award an unprecedented three times (in 2000, 2003 and 2004); he was elected a Fellow in the University of Arkansas Teaching Academy in 2005.
