Overview
AAP is comprised of five disciplines that bring students and faculty from around the world together to address some of the greatest challenges of our time with creativity, criticality, and care.
Who We Are
The College of Architecture, Art, and Planning at Cornell is about acts of transformation. We advance research, scholarship, and critical and creative practices to build a more sustainable, just, and resilient world.
150 Years of History
From our first class of only 21 students, AAP has grown and become established as an internationally recognized leader in architecture, art, planning, design and technology, and real estate education.
Our Mission and Values
The Agency to Respond to Today's Urgencies
AAP prepares students to address the problems of our time with rigor and creativity. We empower all people to participate in planning our collective future.
AAP is committed to an inclusive and diverse community and an open learning environment that is free from bias. We will not tolerate prejudice in any form or discrimination on any basis. We embrace creative and analytic practices that challenge preconceptions and prejudice; encourage critical engagement with the many forms of built culture; and defend the prerogative of our disciplines to ask difficult and provocative questions.
