Inspiration for teaching:
With more than half of the global population now living in urbanized areas, the 21st century is also the first urban century. As a student of the city - our greatest collective achievement - I am inspired to share my ideas with others so that we might contribute to the creation of more equitable, resilient and delightful neighborhoods, public places, cities and regions. Such an ambition is necessarily collaborative and multidisciplinary. It also requires the dedication and optimism of talented students of architecture, landscape architecture and urban design who will go forth to shape the city of tomorrow.
I believe that there are at least as many different 'urbanisms' and urban imaginaries as there are actual cities, and probably as many as there are teachers and students of the built environment who care deeply about the past, present and future of the city.

Most significant accomplishment(s):
"The relationships that have grown out of the work done in the Gulf Coast communities since 2005 - when Hurricane Katrina destroyed buildings, neighborhoods and whole towns - have contributed meaning and life-long value to the architecture, interior design, historic preservation and industrial design students who have accompanied me on annual visits to the region affected. Students have played significant roles in the recovery and rebuilding processes, working very closely with various neighborhood associations and community leaders, as well as individuals who were in urgent need of design services such as housing, community centers, schools, fellowship church halls and more. The integration of SCAD design students into the vast network of organizations who are engaged in the rebuilding of these communities has been especially rewarding and has led to a number of employment opportunities for graduates."

Artist statement:
"A natural critical learning environment is essential in the educational process of an architect. When students can engage with the design problem on a level that is personal, they begin to learn to think critically: make decisions, defend those decisions, receive feedback, rethink their decisions, in a repetitive looping cycle. They learn to reason using evidence, to critically examine the quality of their reasoning, to ask the questions that matter, and to make improvements all along the way. In developing an interesting problem, I take into account that the design question is the essential first step. It becomes part of my job to help the student put that question into a larger, broader context, how it relates to some issue that already interests you. The engagement of the student in some higher-order intellectual process comes in the form analyzing, comparing, assessing, and synthesizing: questioning always. Through this process, the student is empowered to answer the question. And when that particular design question is answered, it should leave the student already asking the next one."

Inspiration for teaching:
"Both the profession and academia of architecture demand the highest of standards - it would be a disservice to the students not to require only the best of their effort and assist them to reach these high standards. Students are encouraged to go further with their work through suggested readings and input from all professors and peers. The professor should inspire and lead the student into taking on their own responsibility to critically learn, have ownership of their projects and challenge themselves."

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle." - Ernest Hemingway

Inspiration for teaching:
"Teaching is also learning, and is both a career and practice of curiosity and pursuing the questions of 'why' and 'what if.' Teaching connects one with perpetual hope, quest, and energy from the students. It is a career of promise of what the world can be, rooted in creative evaluation and wisdom of what the world has been.
"Among the benefits of teaching, such as being inspired by the students' perpetual youthful energy and the spirit of hope, it is the added benefit of taking such care with information and discernment of the world around that perhaps is most important because I am a college teacher as well as a designer. I pay attention to things in the world, from its past history, to current events and the present, and think about implications and possibilities for the future in keen ways, because this information is my teaching material. In short, teaching motivates attentiveness to life and all of its facets. I strive to pass on these skills to my students, as individuals, citizens and designers."

Artist statement:
"As an architectural designer, I am keenly interested in the medium within which we dwell: space. Space is delineated and given meaning and characteristics through its symbiotic relationship with material -- its form and its context. Humankind and most species on this planet construct their environs. The ways in which humankind designs its environs and life are complex, contextual, and in direct relationship with decisions made in its architecture. The many disciplines that are relevant to the study and practice of architecture are vast and multi-, even trans-disciplinary. This fascinating array of relationships is never exhausted, and is constantly in a dynamic state of development with new technologies and studies of the human condition. The questions and possibilities associated with architecture are inexhaustible."

Artist statement:
"Architecture is a wonderful way to know the world. I am passionate about cities and the qualities that constitute good public space. I am passionate about well-crafted buildings, and I believe that architectural ideas derive from the way in which construction is conceived, and from the qualities and histories of the site in which it is to be placed. Architecture is essentially an act of constructing the boundaries and thresholds through which we calibrate and know the world. Cities are the richly layered archives of collective memory and the arenas of human striving."
