Mark Keane and Linda Keane, AIA

Mark and Linda Keane, AIA, NCARB, architects and partners in STUDIO1032, work on green initiatives along the Chicago-Milwaukee corridor. Leaders in design education, Linda is Professor of Architecture and Environmental Design at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she directed the City of Chicago Green Roof Website and chaired development of a third accredited Master of Architecture program in Chicago. Mark is Professor of Architecture and Head of the Frank Lloyd Wright Initiative at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where he developed the first online minor in architecture. The Keanes create animated films that introduce the design process in envisioning new relationships between the built and natural environment. They lecture and publish about the Aesthetics of Sustainability, STEAM by Design and Designing K16 Design Education. From analog film to digital, the Keanes lead dissemination of design ideas with educational publications. Architecture An Interactive Introduction is the first CD-ROM about the built environment created by architects for the general public. Their service learning work with college design students (SAIC’s Eco Design and UWM’s Green Milwaukee) connect design imagination with human ecology in learning, exploring and experimenting as citizen activists. In 2007, the Keanes co-created the NEXT.cc eLearning Designopedia to share place-based project learning with young imaginations. Linda’s affiliation with Project for Public Spaces and Metropolitan Planning Council Placemaking Advisory Board established a series of Design THIS Place journeys for NEXT.cc. The Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture, American Institute of Architects, Art Institute of Chicago, National Endowment for the Arts, National Environmental Education Foundation, A+DEN Architects and Design Educators Network, Association of  Architecture Organizations, Public Broadcasting System, Graham Foundation, Wisconsin Arts Board, United States Green Building Council and the Union of International Architects recognize the Keanes’ creative contributions to design education.
