Kroloff, who left New Orleans in 2007 to become the director of Cranbrook, presided overthe construction of a new wingduring his time as director. He also founded the academy’s first National Advisory Council and oversaw the formulation of a new strategic plan for the Bloomfield Hills, Mich. institution.
Kroloff was previously head ofArchitecturemagazine and served as dean of architecture at Tulane University post-Katrina. He currently serves as an editorial advisor toThe Architect’s Newspaper.
克莱恩布鲁克is the country’s top ranked, graduate-only program in architecture, design, and fine art, retaining just 150 students each year. Its iconic Eero and Eliel Saarinen-designed campuswas a favorite subject of modernist photographer Balthazar Korab.
“We’re sad that Reed will be leaving us next year,” DiMarco said in a statement, “but are confident that Reed and Allan will be a great working team during this transition of leadership.”
