Emile Dixon is an assistant professor of Architecture at Tuskegee University. He earned his Master of Architecture at Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) in Tallahassee, Florida where his design thesis was: “Designing for the Forgotten: Eliminating the Stigma of Affordable Housing.” This was influenced by his study at Ball State University (BSU), in Muncie, Indiana. He later published his thesis in late summer 2015. It was during his undergraduate career and the influence of his incredible mentor and other professors in the BSU architecture program that he developed an understanding of a social justice paradigm within architecture and design. At the Robert Taylor School of Architecture and Construction Science, Emile co-teaches second-year design studio, teaches computer application courses, and serves as the information technology coordinator for personnel. Emile has since received awards for teaching and service, while participating in design collaborations with Tuskegee’s College of Veterinary Medicine, College of Agriculture, and Nursing and Allied Health. Emile has coordinated field study tours of Indianapolis (NOMAS student design competition), and other field studies in Chicago and Birmingham. He has been involved with several design opportunities outside the University with the Town of Pike Road, Alabama in designing a performance Park, as well as conducted a design charrette with students for an Agricultural and Recreational Park.
