John Eliot Hancock , MArch

Professor Hancock has taught architectural history and theory in the College since 1978. He directed the postprofessional Master of Science in Architecture Program from the late 1980's until 2002. After terms as the College's Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies, and Director of the Master of Architecture Program, he returned to full time teaching. Since his retirement into Emeritus status in May of 2015, he continues to teach graduate architectural theory (Phenomenology and Architecture), and to advise graduate students. He is the author of many national and international publications, presentations, grants, exhibits, and awards on topics in architectural history and interpretation. He is a co-founder of CERHAS (The Center for the Electronic Reconstruction of Historical and Archaeological Sites), and is the primary producer of "The Ancient Ohio Trail," a comprehensive interactive guide to the American Indian earthworks of the Ohio Valley, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. He serves as the Chair of World Heritage Ohio, a statewide group working to inscribe these places on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Notable awards include large grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, three wins at the Columbus International Film and Video Festival, and the Rieveschl Award, the University's highest honor for research and creative work.
