Biography

From Julie Eizenberg’s Firm’s site: “Julie Eizenberg is a founding Principal of Koning Eizenberg Architecture, established in 1981. She brings design vision and leadership to the firm’s wide range of projects and is recognized for her expertise involving cities, non-profit agencies, educational institutions and private developers. Ms. Eizenberg is an astute observer and institutional iconoclast leading investigations that reshape the way we think about the conventional buildings of everyday living. Under her and partner Hank Koning’s lead, the firm has earned more than 60 awards for their projects, including 25 AIA awards. As a result of her design direction, the firm has won two national competitions – Chicago Public School Northside, and the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, which opened in November 2004 to widespread acclaim. Ms. Eizenberg teaches and lectures around the world, is a frequent advisor to the U.S. Mayor’s Institute on City Design and has recently completed a book titled Architecture Isn’t Just for Special Occasions.” License Licensed Architect, California, #C25016, 1994 Registered Architect, Victoria Australia, 1979 Education Master of Architecture II – University of California Los Angeles, 1980 Bachelor of Architecture – University of Melbourne, Australia, 1978 Teaching Experience Visiting Critic: Syracuse University School of Architecture, Spring 2007, Fall 2005 Thomas Jefferson Visiting Professor of Architecture: University of Virginia School of Architecture, Spring 2005 Meid Mentor Scholar-in-Residence: Marymount College, 2005 Professorial Fellow: University of Melbourne Dept of Architecture, Building & Planning: 2003 – present Lecturer: SCIARC: Fall 2002, Fall 2003 Harvard Graduate School of Design, Fall 1994, Spring 2002.
