Mark Lindquist, ASLA, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture. Mark’s research and teaching focus on the design and evaluation of high-performance landscapes with an emphasis on multifunctional green infrastructure in urban areas. He is particularly interested in understanding how engaging with computation and data can transform the design process as well as inform decision-making by stakeholders. Mark conducts empirical research with the aim of providing an evidence base to support the design and planning of environments that perform ecologically, socially, and culturally for more sustainable outcomes.
