George Newlands

Assistant Professor

Master of Architecture, University of New Mexico, USA

George Newlands is a licensed architect and has worked professionally in studios since 1990, starting at Antoine Predock Architect, and establishing his own firm, George Newlands Architect, in 2007. His creative work—including research, teaching and practice, whether architectural or artistic—shares the common denominator of the landscape and its synthetic ability in defining and shaping culture. In addition to his architectural education, he also has extensive education in the fine arts, studying at California College of Arts and Crafts and the University of New Mexico.
