Clare Lyster runs a small design studio in Chicago. Her work, writing and research explore the production of public space at the intersection of building, landscape and infrastructure. She is an assistant professor at UIC School of Architecture and has also taught at Syracuse University, the University of Toronto and as a facilitator at Archeworks, an interdisciplinary design school in Chicago. She co-guest edited 306090 09 Regarding Public Space (New York: Princeton Architectural Press, August 2005) and published "Landscapes of Exchange: Re-articulating Site" in The Landscape Urbanism Reader, ed. Charles Waldheim (Princeton Architectural Press, June 2006). Together with Cecilia Benites and Julie Flohr, she was a selected finalist in The 21st Century Lakefront, a design competition run by the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Their collaborative work completed under the title "DB4PS - Design Bureau for Public Space," is published in Landscape Architecture, Competitions Magazine and the Chicago Tribune. In 2005, DB4PS received an honorable mention as Emerging Voices by the Chicago Architecture Club. Clare Lyster holds an MArch from Yale University and a BArch from University College Dublin, Ireland.
