Erin Moore is an academic expert in architecture and sustainability in architecture. At the University of Oregon, she is the head of the School of Architecture & Environment and an associate professor of architecture. Erin focuses on the ecological context of buildings. Her teaching, research, and creative practice focuses on the life-cycle environmental context of building construction and on the ways that buildings shape and reflect cultural constructions of nature. Recent work explores the architectural space of fossil fuel consumption, biogenic carbon sequestration, and climate change.
In the face of serious global challenges, Erin believes that it is especially important to develop aggressive, creative innovators who can connect the power of design with good science and rigorous ethical thinking. In her own teaching, she works to bring together processes of design and innovation with the science of sustainability in collaborations with chemists, ecologists, and biologists.
