The faculty of the College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture are leading experts and innovators in the built environment.
Their scholarship in architecture, cultural heritage, landscape architecture, real estate development and urban and regional planning is presented globally and published in the top journals and referenced widely in the media. They work with other faculty across the college, the University of Arizona and around the world to make the places we live, work, learn and play more sustainable. The work closely with students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels to make our built environments more resilient. And they work with the community—here in the Sonoran Desert and beyond—to understand and enrich the places we and others call home.
