  • Building Bridges, Blurring Boundaries: The Milwaukee School in Environment-Behavior Studies by Sherry Ahrentzen, Carole Després, and Brian Schermer

    Building Bridges, Blurring Boundaries: The Milwaukee School in Environment-Behavior Studies

    Sherry Ahrentzen, Carole Després, and Brian Schermer

    Along with the 40th anniversary of the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the 30th anniversary of our Ph.D. Program in Architecture represents another important benchmark in educational excellence. As one of the pioneering PhD programs in architecture dedicated to understanding the relationship between people and place, its influence has been considerable. Its 51 (and counting) graduates teach in architectural design and allied fields at major institutes and practice throughout the world. Their intellectual contributions, and those of the faculty, continue to shape Environment-Behavior Studies and the discipline of architecture as a whole. This book, a tribute to the many excellent students who have shared the Milwaukee experience, is a testament to their collective input for the design of settings for health care, education, the workplace, older people, and communities, and their insights about the role well-designed environments contribute to the quality of people’s lives.

  • Built Work with HGA Architects by James W. Shields, Sebastian Schmaling, and Robert Greenstreet

    Built Work with HGA Architects

    James W. Shields, Sebastian Schmaling, and Robert Greenstreet

    In some schools, faculty, who have to meet the academic requirement of the institution to achieve tenure and promotion, can be effectively supplemented with highly skilled local practitioners who are dealing on a daily basis with design and construction issues. In some happy instances, there are individuals who can straddle the two worlds and bring a balanced view of design excellence. Such an individual is Jim Shields. His classes and studios are models of clarity and insight and are highly sought by his students. His undisputed role as one of the most talented architects in the Midwest, as evidenced by the rich array of work in this monograph, brings huge value to University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s School of Architecture and Urban Planning.
