We are excited to announce a new lecture as part of our School of Architecture Lecture and Event series, the TSW Lecture on Urban Design.
Justin Garrett Moore's lecture titled, "Building Equity and Sustainability," will include a walking tour of the Hunter's Point South development, and he will discuss his work with Urban Patch.
Moore is a transdisciplinary designer and urbanist and serves as the executive director of the New York City Public Design Commission. He has extensive experience in architecture, urban design, and planning—from large-scale urban policies and projects to grassroots and community-based planning, design, and arts initiatives. At the Public Design Commission, his work focuses on prioritizing quality and excellence for the public realm and fostering accessibility, diversity, and inclusion in New York's public buildings, landscapes, and art. He is a member of the American Planning Association's AICP Commission, the Urban Design Forum, and the Black urbanist collective BlackSpace.
Moore is an adjunct faculty member at Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, and the Yale School of Architecture. His social enterprise, Urban Patch, focuses on sustainable development through social and environmental design projects in the United States and Rwanda. He holds a Bachelor of Design from the University of Florida and a Master of Architecture and a Master of Science in Architecture and Urban Design from Columbia University.
