Bio

Salvador Lindquist is an Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Salvador received his Master of Urban Design with high distinction from the University of Michigan, and Bachelor of Landscape Architecture with a minor in community and regional planning from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. Salvador practiced at RVTR, EXTENTS, and SmithGroup, working on projects at a multitude of scales, from regional planning to site design. His teaching and research concentrate on climate and environmental justice, emphasizing community-engaged approaches to design and environmental assessment in the Great Plains. Lindquist's teaching and research are reciprocal, with many research accomplishments focusing on the role of design as a tool to visualize socio-spatial disparities and promote positive change.

Lindquist has developed and delivered seven courses within the Landscape Architecture (LARC) and Design (DSGN) curricula. He currently teaches a combination of design studios, a systems elective, and a professional elective. His design pedagogy has been presented at the Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture (CELA) and the American Society of Landscape Architecture (ASLA) conferences. Additionally, he has published a book chapter on the pedagogical design of his professional elective, “Spatial Justice.” Through these courses, Lindquist has established strategic partnerships with stakeholders including the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC), City Impact, Rivers, Trails, and Conservation Assistance (NPS-RTCA), the U.S. Forest Service, and the City of Omaha Planning Department. The incorporation of community engagement methods in the classroom resulted in Lindquist receiving the UNL College of Architecture Faculty Award for Excellence in Outreach and Engagement in 2024.

In 2022 and 2024, Lindquist was awarded the Dr. Lee J. & Dorothy P. Enright Endowed Professorship in Landscape Architecture to build a program of design research that prioritizes community design principles aimed at creating lasting change for marginalized and oppressed communities. He has authored and presented ten conference presentations at Environment of Design Research Association (EDRA), ASLA, CELA, and the Journal of Digital Landscape Architecture (JoDLA). Furthermore, he has published seven journal articles in Scenario Journal, JoDLA, Agora Journal of Urban Planning and Design, Landscape Research Record (LRR) and the LAF Landscape Performance Series and contributed to two book publications. Lindquist has secured three external grants (Council of Educators in Landscape Architecture and Landscape Architecture Foundation) and one internal grant. The CELA Bob Cardoza CLASS Grant and the LAF Deb Mitchell Grant, highly competitive disciplinary grants, support his ongoing research into the role of heat mitigation and disparity in urban environments.
