At 11:14 a.m. yesterday, Princeton University President Chris Eisgruber wrote to its School of Architecture students to tell them that its dean, Alejandro Zaera-Polo, was resigning, effective immediately. The abrupt announcement comes a little more than two years since Zaera-Polo's deanship began, on July 1, 2012.
Zaera-Polo, a theorist and practitioner, replaced Stan Allen, a Brooklyn-based architect who had held the position since 2002 and who remains a professor at Princeton.
