Professor Lynda H. Schneekloth holds an MS in Landscape Architecture and BA in English from the University of Wisconsin. Schneekloth’s scholarly research is focused on the idea of placemaking, that is, how people transform the world, including natural processes and built form. Recently funded projects include a public conversation on the historic Buffalo Grain Elevators and the development of an interpretation center at Love Canal, watershed organizations on the Buffalo and Niagara Rivers, and participation in the development of a bi-national heritage corridor along the Niagara River.
Schneekloth is author of Placemaking: The Art and Practice of Building Communities with R. Shibley; Ordering Spaces: Types in Architecture and Design with K. Franck, and Changing Places: ReMaking Institutional Buildings with M. Feuerstein and B. Campagna; many reports on projects such as Monteverde Institute Master Plan, Greenway Planning for the Buffalo River, and numerous articles in scholarly and professional journals, two of which received national awards for best article, "The Frontier is our Home" in Journal of Architectural Education (49,4) and "Unredeemably Utopian: Architecture and the Making of Place" in Utopian Studies (9,1). Schneekloth is Co-director of the Costa Rican study abroad program, "Sustainable Futures."
