As the Bartlett Cocke Professor of Architecture and Planning I teach architectural design and courses related to the philosophy, history, and application of environmental technology. I received my undergraduate degree in architecture at Syracuse University, my Ph.D. at Texas A&M University, and am a Fellow of the National Endowment for the Arts and a Loeb Fellow of the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Early in my career I practiced architecture as the design principal of Moore/Weinrich Architects in Maine (1972-1992) and received numerous regional and national awards for design distinction. In 1993 I returned to graduate school to pursue the Ph.D. and by 1999 I was appointed Director of the graduate program in Sustainable Design at UT. In 2001 I co-founded the UT Center for Sustainable Development. I have published articles in Center, the Journal of Architectural Education (JAE), the Journal of Architecture (JOA), and the Design Book Review (DBR). My books include; Technology and Place: Sustainable Architecture and the Blueprint Farm (UT Press, 2001); Sustainable Architectures: Natures and Cultures in Europe and North America, co-edited with Simon Guy (Routledge/Spon, 2005); Philosophy of Design: From Engineering to Architecture, Co-edited with Peter Kroes, Andrew Light, and Pieter Vermass (Springer, 2007); and Alternative Routes to the Sustainable City: Austin, Curitiba and Frankfurt (Rowman & Littlefield, 2007). My recent work is thoroughly transdisciplinary in nature, meaning that I draw upon my experience as a practicing architect and the literature of several related fields including; Science and Technology Studies (STS), the philosophy of technology, geography, architecture, and planning. These multiple sources are necessary, in my view, to study the built environment as a socio-technical artifact.
