Architecture Professor Howard Davis

Davis’ latest book, Living Over the Store, explores “one of the most common urban buildings, the shop/house” in suburban Beijing, which combines dwellings with workspace. The book is slated for release January 2012 by British publisher Routledge. Davis also authored The Culture of Building (Oxford University Press, 1999, 2006), named Best Publication in Architecture and Urban Studies by the Association of American Publishers in 2000.

Additionally, Davis is a prolific photographer; images from his collection of more than 30,000 photographic slides appeared in an exhibition at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., and on a U.S. postage stamp issued in 2002.

Davis was named distinguished professor of the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture in 2009 and in 2011 he garnered two prestigious faculty awards, including the UO-wide Thomas F. Herman Faculty Achievement Award – given annually to only two senior faculty for outstanding teaching ­– and the School of Architecture & Allied Arts’ Van Evera Bailey Faculty Award, which supports exceptional architectural research and design education.
