Biographical / Historical
Author and educator, Anne Taylor, PhD, born 1933 in Sayre, Pennsylvania, is celebrated for her long-standing career developing relationships between architectural design and K-12 education. On a beach walk collecting shells with twelve young children, Dr. Taylor observed the decision-making behaviors of the students as they decided which shells to keep and which to discard. This moment marked the beginning of a career dedicated to motivating others to design meaningful learning environments and architectural programming for schools through lectures, books, articles, exhibitions, teacher-training workshops, and interdisciplinary curriculum, including the Architecture and Children Program. After earning her MA and PhD at Arizona State University, Taylor joined the Art Education Department at the University of New Mexico (UNM). In 1975, she made an unusual lateral move to UNM’s School of Architecture and Planning, filling a perceived gap between the disciplines of Architecture and Education and to teach professional and aspiring architects how to better shape schools and classrooms into three-dimensional, teaching-learning tools. Throughout her career, Dr. Taylor collaborated with architects, designers, engineers, planners, government agencies, schools and universities, teachers, students, parents, and communities in the United States and internationally to create innovative learning spaces for young children. This cooperative working style was honored by the AIA award for Collaborative Achievement in 2019.
