George N. Pauly, Jr. Professorship in Architecture

The George N. Pauly, Jr. Professorship in Architecture was established in memory of George N. Pauly, Jr. to support emerging practitioners and studio educators in the development of a body of work while teaching in the School of Architecture. George was born in New York City, the son of George N. Pauly, Sr., a renowned architect, and Eugenie Disay Pauly, a music teacher. George was raised in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania and graduated from Carnegie Mellon University. He was particularly proud of having followed in his father's footsteps by becoming a licensed architect, and designed several buildings in his home state of Pennsylvania.

2012-13 | Liss Werner
Liss C. Werner is a registered Architect in Berlin. She runs the upper level design by research studio "Codes in the Clouds," developed at Bauhaus, Dessau Institute of Architecture in 2010. The studio defines architecture through code, data and behavior to engage with the emergence of sublime, tectonically challenging form generation as dynamic system. Her research focuses on architecture as science of cybernetics and culture through the evolution of technology in order to develop computational design thinking for the paradigm shift of architecture in the twenty-first century. Her exploration of rule-based architectural systems informed by cybernetics, self-organization and a critical reflection offers one possibility to depart from a purely aesthetic understanding of a priori form towards a vocabulary and theory for an architecture of architecture. Liss studied at the Bartlett, RMIT and Humboldt University. She worked on projects in the UK, Germany and Russia. She has taught and lectured internationally since 2002 and contributed to a variety of conferences and exhibitions.
