The Urban Collaborative team believes in the value of education and writing about our work with and for our clients is one method of education. Our Principal, Dr. Mark Gillem is a Professor of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the University of Oregon. In addition, many of our team members teach and publish articles about master planning and design, sustainability, and architecture. Selected publications are listed below and can be accessed as PDF files or as direct links to relevant websites. In our work, there are usually great stories to tell and lessons to learn.
