Bauer Wurster Hall, UC Berkeley

The College of Environmental Design, also known as CED, is one of 15 schools and colleges at the University of California, Berkeley. The college is housed in Bauer Wurster Hall at the southeast corner of the main UC Berkeley campus. It is composed of four departments: the Department of Architecture, the Department of City & Regional Planning, the Department of Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning, and the Institute of Urban & Regional Development.

HistoryEdit

The College of Environmental Design was founded in 1959, when Dean William W. Wurster brought together four existing campus units to create a multidisciplinary approach to the built environment: the School of Architecture (founded 1903 by John Galen Howard), the School of Landscape Architecture (founded 1913 by John William Gregg), the Department of City Planning (founded 1948), and the Department of Decorative Arts. Wurster Hall, designed by CED faculty Joseph Esherick, Vernon DeMars, and Donald Olsen to house the new college, opened in 1964; the building was renamed Bauer Wurster Hall in 2020 after archival documentation came to light revealing that the building name was intended to recognize both William W. Wurster and Catherine Bauer Wurster, associate dean of the college, for their contributions to the founding of CED.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

One of CED's early innovations during the 1960s was the development of the "four-plus-two" ("4+2") course of study for architecture students, meaning a four-year non-professional Bachelor of Arts in Architecture degree followed by a two-year professional Master of Architecture (M.Arch) degree.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The 4+2 program was meant to address the shortfalls of the traditional 5-year professional Bachelor of Architecture (B.Arch) program, which many architecture educators felt was too rushed and neglected the undergraduate's intellectual development in favor of a strong emphasis on practical design knowledge. The 4+2 program allowed one to receive a broader education including exposure to the liberal arts as an undergraduate and thus a deeper and more thorough education in architectural design as a graduate student. CED was also an early proponent of design for disability and green architecture, and is home to the Center for the Built Environment.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
