Paul Lusk Papers
Collection
Identifier: MSS-743-BC
Scope and Content
The Paul Lusk collection contains articles, notes, draft and final reports, correspondence, publications and maps relating to the planning, growth, and management of Albuquerque, New Mexico and surrounding areas. Materials compiled reflect Lusk's years as principal planner for the City, as well as his continued professional interest in the subject thereafter. Included are planning documents and background research for Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, comprehensive plans, sector development plans and neighborhood development plans. Topics such as open space, downtown development, trails and bikeways, public transportation, growth management, land use and flood control are covered. Other materials relate to analysis of economic conditions, population, and environmental aspects of growth. Also included are research materials reflecting planning and growth management of other cities.
Some material is from classes taught by Lusk at the University of New Mexico, most notably about buildings at the D. H. Lawrence Ranch near Taos, including documents and slides pertaining to cabin remodel, solar construction, and water assessment. A small amount of material relates to his work on a master plan for the University of New Mexico.

Biographical Information
Paul Lusk's architectural career began in Colorado in 1958. From 1962-1963, as a planning team member, he assisted with the development and publication of the Master Plan for the City of Boston. From 1963-1965, he worked in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on neighborhood planning. Lusk was Chief Project Architect for Charlestown Urban Renewal, in Boston, Massachusetts, 1965-1968, where he developed plans for housing, parks, recreation areas and streets.
Establishing an architectural practice in Albuquerque, New Mexico, in 1968, Lusk also served as principal planner for the City of Albuquerque/Bernalillo County,1969-1977. He supervised the Comprehensive Planning Division, initiating and developing multiple projects including plans for open space, flood control, access and utility systems, transportation systems, and a city/county comprehensive plan.
As associate professor of Architecture and Planning at the University of New Mexico, 1975-2002, Lusk taught extensively. Course topics included architecture, urban design, ecological design, regional, urban and rural planning, environmental design, appropriate technology, solar design, building construction workshop, and foundations of physical planning.
Lusk explored independent projects in solar building, and site design, innovative subdivision and water conservation design, intensive agricultural production and urban, village and neighborhood planning.
