Maya's homemade academic mixture of cross-registered courses--as well as offerings from the history of art and architecture, visual and environmental studies, environmental science and public policy, mathematics and physics departments--was ambitious. "It's rare that somebody comes in with that kind of drive," says Wendelken, an assistant professor of the history of art and architecture...
