==History==
The Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation (GSAPP) has evolved over more than a century. It was transformed from a department within the [[Columbia School of Mines]] into a formal School of Architecture by [[William Robert Ware]] in 1881—making it one of the first such professional programs in the country.<ref>Chewning, J. A. "William Robert Ware at MIT and Columbia."Journal of Architectural Education, v33 n2 p25-29 Nov 1979</ref>
While the number of specialized programs being offered by the school has increased over the years, architecture remains the intellectual core of the school.<ref>[http://www.metropolismag.com/October-2014/Why-Design-Education-Matters/ Why Design Education Matters<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

The Buell Center was founded in 1982. Its mission is to advance the interdisciplinary study of American architecture, urbanism, and landscape. In recent years, the Center has convened issue-oriented conversations around matters of public concern, such as housing, that are addressed to overlapping constituencies including academics, students, professionals, and members of the general public. The Center's research and programming articulate facts and frameworks that modify key assumptions in which public analysis and debate about architecture and urbanism takes place.<ref>{{cite web|title=Buell Center|url=http://www.arch.columbia.edu/buell|publisher=Columbia University|access-date=August 17, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120903005342/http://www.arch.columbia.edu/buell|archive-date=September 3, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> The center is located in [[Buell Hall]].
