Alan Berger is Tenured Associate Professor of Urban Design and Landscape Architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he teaches courses in the department of urban studies and planning. Berger earned his Masters of Landscape Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania, Graduate School of Fine Arts, where he received its highest awards for design excellence and research: the Faculty Medal and Van Alen Fellowship. He is a Prince Charitable Trusts Fellow of The American Academy in Rome. He was licensed as a landscape architect in 1992.
