UM: Architecture Dean

The Boston Globe reports on a feud between Monica Ponce de Leon, who’s now dean of the University of Michigan College of Architecture & Urban Planning, and Nader Tehrani, her former partner in the Boston architectural firm Office dA, which the Globe describes as “one of the nation’s most innovative design practices.” From the report: “So bitter is the fight that last month, Ponce de Leon locked Tehrani out of Office dA’s building in the South End and prevented him from using the firm’s e-mail system. … Today, a Suffolk County Superior Court judge is expected to order the duo to submit to arbitration to resolve charges made in dueling lawsuits.” [Source]
