Next Generation Leaders of the Built Environment

The built environment is central to the profound changes reshaping our world—and Columbia GSAPP is leading the way. Through bold experimentation and critical inquiry, we confront complex challenges of the built environment with imagination and innovation. Our students are uniquely prepared to make a meaningful impact through their work, but for many, their path at GSAPP is only made possible by the generosity of those who believe in their potential.

Empowering Exceptional Students

GSAPP annual funds help provide vital scholarship support, attracting the brightest minds while making it possible for them to attend the school with a dedicated focus on their studies.

Pioneering Ideas

At the forefront of architecture, urbanism, real estate, and preservation, and the intersections between these key disciplines, the curriculum of GSAPP is constantly innovating to respond to the most urgent questions of our time. Support for academic innovation helps fund new pedagogical approaches and research initiatives that shape a more sustainable, equitable, and creative world.
