Architect Bruce Lindsey — who joined the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts last fall as dean of the College of Architecture and the Graduate School of Architecture & Urban Design — will speak about his work at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 19 as part of the spring Architecture Lecture Series.
The talk, titled “Collective Practice,” is free and open to the public and takes place in Brown Hall, Room 118.
A native of Idaho, Lindsey earned a bachelor’s degree in art in 1976 and a master’s degree in sculpture and photography in 1979, both from the University of Utah.
He earned a master’s degree in architecture from Yale University in 1986 and joined the faculty at Carnegie Mellon University the following year.
From 1994-2001, he served as associate head of Carnegie Mellon’s School of Architecture and as associate professor of art and architecture.
Lindsey served as head of Auburn University’s School of Architecture from 2001-06, during which time he helped unite the school’s five degree programs — comprising 600 students and 40 faculty — through a series of interdisciplinary and joint-degree offerings.
Lindsey’s research long has focused on applying digital tools to design and construction practice. In 1992, his work in digital-aided manufacturing was cited by Engineering News Record as one of the year’s 10 most significant contributions to the construction industry.
A practicing architect, Lindsey recently worked with Davis Gannon Architects to design the Pittsburgh Glass Center, which earned a gold rating under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Environmental & Energy Design guidelines.
The project also received a Design Honor Award from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and was chosen as one of 2005’s Top 10 green buildings by the AIA’s Committee on the Environment.
