Signe Nielsen on Architectural Storytelling and Urban Sustainability

This week I reconnected with Signe Nielson, a landscape architect and founding principal at Mathews Nielsen Landscape Architects in NYC. She is also a professor of urban design and landscape architecture at Pratt Institute and an active participant in New York City design policy and approvals. Her work focuses on the areas of green design, sustainability, and public space design. Nielsen has spent her career thinking about design and architecture as a means of telling stories and improving lives and the environment, and continually dedicates her work and practice building spaces that positively impact the environment and people who inhabit them.
