The University of New Mexico School of Architecture and Planning presents distinguished author and Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Texas at Austin, Frederick Steiner, on Friday, Feb. 13 at 4:30 p.m. in room 2018 of the UNM Center for the Arts building. The lecture is presented as part of the John Gaw Meem Lecture Series.
Steiner, an environmental planning expert whose research has influenced National Park Service and Arizona's development and preservation policies, presents "Design and Planning for the First Urban Century."
From 1993 to 1999, Steiner served on the board of trustees of the Desert Botanical Garden and chaired the long-range planning committee for the garden, which produced a new master plan in 1998 that led to a $16 million capital development campaign.
Steiner was the recipient of the Rome Prize Fellowship in Historic Preservation and Conservation at the American Academy in Rome in 1998. He is currently on the board of directors for the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
Steiner, who received his Ph.D. and master's degrees in City and Regional Planning from the University of Pennsylvania, also earned a master's in Community Planning from the University of Cincinnati.
Steiner authored several books including "Human Ecology: Following Nature's Lead," "The Living Landscape," and "To Heal the Earth."
The lecture is free and open to the public.
