"It's the tragic result of what happens when you have such a fund and little, or in this case, no accountability," said Wayne County Prosecutor John O'Hair.

Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation Introduction to Architecture: The Summer Studio at Columbia University New York A summer program giving university credit which intro- duces the student to all aspects of the design, history, theo- ry, and practice of architecture. The program is intended both for those without previous academic experience in design who are interested in architecture as a potential career, and for those with previous experience in architec- tural design who would like to develop studio design skills, perhaps in preparation for application to graduate school. Studio, seminar, and lectures present a comprehensive introduction to every aspect of architecture as it is practiced today. In addition, through field-trips and tours, the student learns from extraordinary examples of architectural and urban design in New York City, the world's preeminent center for architecture and culture.
