Sidney Fleisher, School of
Architecture woodshop manager and adjunct faculty member, was
honored March 15 at the annual Association of Collegiate Schools
of Architecture (ACSA) conference in Louisville, Ky., with the
2003 ACSA Honorary Award for his outstanding contributions to
architectural education through teaching and design. For the past
22 years, Fleisher has directed the school's woodshop, teaching
courses in Material Explorations and Fabrication and
Furniture and Design Making, as well as providing instruction
for the safe use of woodworking hand tools and machinery. These
courses enable students to test material properties and explore
the possibilities of design through hands-on experimentation.
"His subtle guidance has been the common thread to students'
explorations and appreciation of craft and has had an immeasurable
influence over a generation of students," said Alan Balfour,
dean of architecture. 4/28/03
