Professor Jeff Schnabel is a Professor at the School of Architecture. His research interests focus on design after dark. As a recipient of the Van Evera Bailey Fellowship, he travelled internationally to explore how nighttime changes the design strategies of buildings and cities. One area of these investigations led him to co-found the Portland Winter Light Festival which annually brings hundreds of thousands of people into the public realm to engage with light-based art (pdxwlf.com). He routinely brings these investigations into the classroom, which has resulted in award winning student projects. Professor Schnabel is a member of the International Nighttime Design Initiative and the Media Architecture Institute.
