Education B.Arch, Cornell University, 1975 MA, Case Western Reserve University, 1979 Biography I have served as the Editorial Director of Progressive Architecture and Building Renovation magazines, as the Historical Architect for the Connecticut State Historic Preservation Office, as the Regional Preservation Officer at the Western Reserve Historical Society, and as an historian with the Historic American Engineering Record. I have lectured or juried at over 30 different schools of architecture and over 60 professional societies, and have published 1 book, 14 book chapters, and over 200 major articles in various magazines and journals. My research revolves around the relationship between the history of ideas and the design and production of architecture. A recent focus has been on the ethical, economic, and cultural ideas that drive unsustainable building practices in the United States, and on the development of new design tools and conceptual structures that would allow us to create a more environmentally sustainable built world. I also remain active as an architectural critic, writing frequently for professional and newsstand magazines. I have also written a book of essays on architectural practice entitled, In the Scheme of Things, Alternative Thinking on the Practice of Architecture, published by the University of Minnesota Press. A book on the work and ideas of Duluth architect David Salmela will be published by the U of M Press in 2004, entitled Salmela, Architect. Teaching Areas
