Stickie Notes
“I am inspired by the capacity of design
to empower communities.”
Educated as an architect, planner, and urban researcher, Lyndsey Deaton is principally an urbanist, whose specialty is the study of cities, their public spaces, and their design as modes of social production, reproduction, and resistance.
Practice
Architecture is both a powerful anticipation and the everyday material realization that we live in.
Teaching
Curiosity stimulates creativity, play, and wonder.
Research
Engaging architectural and qualitative methods to answer questions about social sustainability in the city.
Publications
Contributing to the academic discourse.
Installations
Functional “pop-art” that opens up emerging theories and research concepts to the broader public.
Contact
I’m interested to hear from you.
Practice
My approach to architecture and urban design is rooted in respect for the local community’s tacit knowledge of place. We work collaboratively develop solutions that are socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable.

Teaching
In the past 10 years, I have taught over 1,000 professional, graduate, and undergraduate students with real-world, hands-on opportunities that allow them to find, strengthen, and refine their voice across the design professions.
Research
How will we build and adapt our public spaces to address the social and environmental pressures straining rapidly growing urban areas? What can public spaces tell us about social sustainability and design?
I AM SEEKING COLLABORATION OPPORTUNITIES TO PROMOTE COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGH DESIGN.
