Reactions to Design Juries on Trial:
From students:
"Design Juries on Trial is a terrific source of guidance. It reveals some of the mysteries of architectural education that I had to find out the hard way." Amy J. Isenburg, 1998-1999 Vice President, The American Institute of Architectural Students (AIAS)
"I would recommend this book to every student and educator who is concerned about the quality of his or her personal experiences in architectural education."--Christine A. Malecki, Former Vice President, The American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS)
"Design Juries
on Trial is
the first research endeavor that collectively represents the students'
perspective of traditional design juries and how ineffective, habitual
techniques may be transformed into effective teaching methods."--Brian
Bayer, Former Editor of CRIT, Journal of the American Institute
of Architecture Students (AIAS)
From faculty:
"It is a book that should be read by every single faculty member or potential juror in architecture schools, and by students as well...This book is a significant milestone in architectural education."--Diane Ghirardo, Ph.D., Former Executive Editor, Journal of Architectural Education, Professor, School of Architecture, University of Southern California
"We should all read it and re-read it...It is timely, it is clear, it is provocative and it is invaluable at this stage in the evolution of architectural education."--Patrick J. Quinn, FAIA, FAAR, FRSA, Former President, Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), Institute Professor of Architecture, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
"It strikes at the very heart of what all of us as academics are occupied with every semester of every academic year. It should be...compulsory reading for all faculty in schools of architecture throughout the country."--R. Alan Forrester, Former Director, School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Design Juries on Trial brings together
the most experienced professionals with the instructors and the students...It
addresses a range of concerns, from providing advice to students who
must endure the studio review to suggesting measures for the instructor
to be a more effective teacher. The very essence of design, architecture
and education is dissected and reconsidered to create a ....users' manual
for the design studio."--Marvin Malecha, Former President, Association
of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), Dean, North Carolina State
University
From practitioners:
"It's been an honor to be part of what will undoubtedly be the handbook on 'constructive juries' for students and design professionals!"--Ronette King, Gensler and Associates Architects
"Reading it and thinking about it challenges design educators to question their methods and assumptions, invites design students to examine the studio subculture as well as change their behavior in it, demands professional designers to evaluate the relationships between design education and current practice patterns, and requires design researchers to ask: Why has so little research been done on this important area before?"--Min Kantrowitz, Min Kantrowitz & Associates, in Environment & Behavior
"Ms. Anthony makes her case with superb research,
expert witnesses both for and against the jury system, thought provoking
questions on topics like 'hidden agendas' and 'stars' and 'gender discrimination'
in design education, and detailed promises for a better future. The
readers of this valuable work, who become the jury, should represent great
numbers of our profession."--Charles Sappenfield, FAIA in Competitions

Design Juries on Trial unlocks the door to the mysterious design jury system--exposing its hidden agendas and helping you overcome intimidation, confrontation, and frustration. It explains how to improve the success rate of submissions to juries--whether in the academic setting, for competititions and awards programs, or for professional accounts--and how to reconstruct the jury system in both design education and professional practice. Architects, landscape architects, planners, and interior, industrial, and graphic designers--as well as others who shape design decisions--are sure to benefit from this resource.
Guidelines and checklists are based on extensive research with systematic observations and videotape recordings of juries, diaries of design students, and interviews and surveys of students, educators and practitioners conducted during a seven year period. Interviews feature leading architectural, landscape, and interior designers including Peter Eisenman, Michael Graves, Steven Izenour, E. Fay Jones, Richard Meier, the late Charles Moore, Cesar Pelli, Robert A. M. Stern,Cynthia Weese, and others. More than 900 individuals participated in the research for this book.
Shattering myths, challenging traditional assumptions,
and calling for sweeping changes in design education and practice, Design
Juries on Trial :
Provides the first historical and comparative overview of design juries.
Advocates an array of refreshing reforms of the jury system.
Brings you unique insights into the jury process,
with the most exhaustive analysis of the jury system undertaken to date.
