Professor Ronaszegi is a professor at the Savannah College of Art and Design. He has been active in higher education for over 25 years since 1986. He is teaching graduate and thesis studios, graduate seminars, electives and graduate professional practice lecture courses. The work of his students received numerous awards. He has received grants to conduct research in design methodologies and historic and contemporary architecture. He was the director of European Programs Abroad and recently organized a graduate studio for students in London.

Professor Ronaszegi has traveled extensively and spends his time between Europe and the United states with his wife who is a professional writer.

In teaching he is interested in exploring with students the synergy that exists between the various components of architecture and the extended natural and human realm. Students are encouraged to develop their own language and methods of architecture as they prepare for professional life.

Studios are structured and focuses on the simultaneous exploration of intuitive and analytical aspects of design and the use of experimentation and research as equally essential components – ideation, research, experimentation and analysis are intersected using the discursive power of graphics and structured and spontaneous dialog within the studio environment. Students are encouraged to explore various media and these are seen as tools in the hands of the students to explore the potentials of their design and inform their thinking. The studios are rich creative and learning venues; they include lectures, dynamic group interactions, regular in-depth discussions with professor and workshop feedback opportunities for students.
