Nicholas Pevzner is a landscape designer whose work explores the role that infrastructural landscapes and soft systems can play in structuring and sustaining the next generation of cities. He believes that the urban future will be shaped both by design proposals and by the billions of tenacious city-dwellers engaged in a project of bottom-up urbanization. He teaches at the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Design. Nicholas received his Bachelor of Architecture from the Cooper Union in New York in 2005, and his Master of Landscape Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania in 2009.
