Agran specializes in the historical and theoretical evolution of architectural drawing, with deep expertise in 1960s/70s radical visionary architecture. His pedagogy examines the interplay between drawing production and conceptual objectives through rigorous constructed drawings, orthographic projection, and perspective systems. Courses incorporate direct study of original works at Yale Art Gallery, Yale Center for British Art, and Manuscripts & Archives to contextualize spatial inquiry within architectural history.
He has continuously taught 'Drawing and Architectural Form' (course 1211) every Fall semester from 2015 through the upcoming 2025 term, and participated in 'Independent Course Work' (course 4299) in Spring 2017. While specific student names aren't documented, his quarter-century teaching tenure implies extensive student mentorship across hundreds of architecture students.
Professionally, Agran leads design initiatives at ARC Boston, applying his scholarly focus on drawing practices to contemporary architectural challenges. His dual academic-practitioner role bridges theoretical research with real-world implementation in major projects like the San Francisco transit hub.
