Dan Pitera named Loeb Fellow at Harvard University
Dan Pitera has bid farewell to the University of Detroit Mercy to pursue a prestigious career opportunity at Harvard University—and the School of Architecture couldn’t be happier. That’s because the Detroit Collaborative Design Center director will be back in fall 2006 with a wealth of new ideas for the Design Center and for Detroit.
Pitera learned recently that he has been named a Loeb Fellow at Harvard University’s School of Design. He’ll leave for Massachusetts at the end of the summer after completing a summer sabbatical in Italy, where he will teach in the School of Architecture’s study abroad program.
