Kristine Miller
Associate Professor

- Ph.D, Landscape Architecture. Edinburgh College of Art
Kristine Miller’s research addresses public space and its role in public life. Miller argues that designers seeking to provide comfortable public settings may unwittingly concretize in built form, aesthetic representations, and programmatic systems, restrictive definitions of the public and public space. Design, as much as law, policy and rhetoric, shapes what constitutes public life and who is part of the public. Miller also is involved in the REMIX/Street Life Project with Juxtapostion Arts, Marcy Schulte, Clint Hewitt and Carrie Fathman. The REMIX/Street Life project is a long-term studio-based service learning course based in North Minneapolis.
