Staff and organization
The school is run by a dean, currently Juan Ignacio Del Cueto Ruiz-Funes. He is aided by a technical council, composed of professors and student and administrative representatives, which makes decisions regarding curriculum, school calendars and schedules, among other tasks.
The school includes the four undergraduate programs (architecture, landscape architecture, urbanism and industrial design), and the graduate, specialization and research programs (in architecture, urbanism and industrial design). In addition, the school holds its own architectural office, which develops projects both for the university and for external clients; and a cultural division that manages cultural events, exhibits, publications, lectures, etc.
The undergraduate program in architecture is organised within five branches: project; urban-environmental; technology; theory, history and research. Furthermore, the program is spread among 16 partially independent studios or workshops which offer all the mandatory courses. These studios are physically located in eight two-story buildings (except for two located in the main building). These workshops originally were conceived to perform long-standing projects and focus on experimentation of different architectural conceptions, depending on the staff that the studio had, the profile of the students was formed.
The workshops are mostly named after Mexican architects or architects who have contributed to Mexican architecture, Luis Barragán, Max Cetto, Juan Antonio García Gayou, Domingo García Ramos, Jorge González Reyna , Carlos Lazo Barreiro , Carlos Leduc Montaño , Ramón Marcos Noriega, Federico Mariscal y Piña , Hannes Meyer, Juan O'Gorman, José Revueltas, and José Villagrán García.
