Built Work with HGA Architects

Abstract

In some schools, faculty, who have to meet the academic requirement of the institution to achieve tenure and promotion, can be effectively supplemented with highly skilled local practitioners who are dealing on a daily basis with design and construction issues. In some happy instances, there are individuals who can straddle the two worlds and bring a balanced view of design excellence. Such an individual is Jim Shields. His classes and studios are models of clarity and insight and are highly sought by his students. His undisputed role as one of the most talented architects in the Midwest, as evidenced by the rich array of work in this monograph, brings huge value to University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s School of Architecture and Urban Planning.
