Impact a world driven by design. The Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design offers its students a platform of integrated disciplines—Architecture, Interior Architecture and Industrial Design—from which to negotiate the complexities of contemporary practice in a world that is grappling with diminishing economic and natural resources, the realities of post disaster reconstruction, and at the same time, continued rapid urbanization. Our programs foster an environment where ideas find form, where practices that are socially equitable and fundamentally ecological establish a model from which to develop Houston’s future, and inform and share design strategies globally. We teach with the idea that Houston is our laboratory, challenging students to push the boundaries of architecture and design in this complex and diverse metropolis, and therefore, make a difference in the world." - Dean Patricia Belton Oliver, FAIA, DPACSA Prospective Students: Start Your Design Journey Here Discover The Hines College By the Numbers #4 best value architecture school in US (College Factual) 8 centers and labs advancing research and community outreach #31 of 467 architecture schools in the US (Architecture Colleges Rankings) 1945 year the College of Architecture was founded at UH #4 out of the top 30 Industrial Design programs in the US (College Values Online); #14 in the world (RedDot) 30+ years as a leader in Design/Build education 850+ undergraduate and graduate students On Our Feed tag where you want the feed to appearPowered by Curator.io tagLatest News News Archive Publications Pursuing a Worthy Future: Class of 2024 The Class of 2024 includes students who began their academic journeys at the Hines College before, during, and after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
