Th(e) current executive
director of the University of Pennsylvania’s PennPraxis, Harris Steinberg, will
become an executive director at Drexel. He will head the Lindy
Institute for Urban Innovation, according to an article in Philadelphia Magazine.
Steinberg, a 1978 College
and 1982 School of Design graduate, will start the new job —
along with a faculty appointment at Westphal College — on Nov. 1, according to
the Philly Mag article.
PennPraxis was created by
PennDesign to further the mission of the school in the fields of architecture,
planning, landscape architecture, community development, public art and
historic preservation. It fulfills this mission by carrying out practical
or applied projects for external clients under the direction of PennDesign
faculty.
Steinberg previously had been
at PennPraxis for 12 and a half years, and hopes that they continue his work in
the urban realm, only blocks away from where he has spent the past decade,
he said in an interview with Philly Mag.
