Jeffrey Erwin Huber (born November 11, 1979) is an American architect and landscape architect based in South Florida. He is a practitioner and academic known for innovative approaches to place-building solutions that address core design challenges and planning policy towards a more resilient and equitable future[1]
Personal life
Huber was born into a middle-class family in Miami, Florida. From humble beginnings, his mother and father were both schoolteachers and raised him, his twin brother and older brother in Homestead, Florida. In 1992, Hurricane Andrew destroyed his childhood home and it was a transformative event that inspired him to study architecture. He became fascinated with the built environment and determined to design places that could withstand and thrive environmentally and socially. He studied at the University of Florida and Florida International University. He is married to Dr. Juliana Huber and has two children, Kathryn and Samantha. He currently lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Career
In 1999, Huber worked for Miami-based Zyscovich Architects while studying at University of Florida. After graduation he moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas accepting an appointment at the University of Arkansas Community Design Center (UACDC)— a think tank akin to a teaching hospital for architects and designers. It was there that he began coupling teaching and practice to develop a repertoire of place-building frameworks that address community development issues related to transit-oriented development. In 2009 he met and taught with Lawrence Scarpa and the two began their friendship and professional mentoring. In 2014 Huber joined Brooks + Scarpa at a firm principal and opened the south Florida office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Notable career achievements
Honors and awards
Early in his career at UACDC, Huber completed many National AIA award winning projects [2]. Including 13 National AIA Regional and Urban Design Institute Honor Awards. Huber has garnered six national American Society of Landscape Architecture awards [3]. He has also received nine American Architecture Awards, several Residential Architect Awards including the Grand Award twice, and three Progressive Architecture awards. Huber has also earned 16 awards for his teaching and research from ACSA, AIA, and NCARB.
In addition to project awards, Huber has been honored with the 2011-2012 ACSA/AIAS New Faculty Teaching Award, 2017 AIA National Young Architects Award [4], 2019 AIA Florida Presidential Award, 2020 AIA Florida Citizen Architect Award, and 2022 AIA Florida McMinn Architectural Education Award. In 2021 Huber was elevated to the national College of Fellows [5] within the American Institute of Architects and was the youngest in Florida to receive this honor.
Advocacy
Through his urban design work, he has expanded the architect’s role through creative placemaking and resilient design with development of new tools and design methodologies that form a connective infrastructure of segregated disciplinary thought to meet complex challenges posed by urbanization, thus his research, teaching and practice focus on traditional project development through the supply-side of professional practice. Huber is a respected expert on Low Impact Development, sea-level rise adaptation [6] , and affordable/ workforce housing design. His professional and academic experience provide a strong foundation for contributions. Working with the AIA National Strategic Council and other state and local leadership organizations, Huber has been instrumental in changing policy and development standards. Recently, Huber was successful with AIA Florida in creation of a new state law that requires public projects using public financing to do sea-level rise vulnerability assessments and integrate those assessments within project design. His design and advocacy activities have had a direct impact on the resilience and sustainability across the county and more notably in Florida and Arkansas. Huber currently serves on a three-year term on the AIA National Strategic Council.
He continues to engage the design and planning professions, allied fields and community on pressing triple-bottom line issues of our built environment— those that link social, environmental and economic issues and how design can solve for them through community infrastructure projects. He has completed over $500 million in projects and secured over $5 million in grants and project funding from organizations like the National Endowment for the Arts, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Science Foundation, and the US Environmental Protection Agency to name a few. He is a regular speaker nationally at conferences and conventions on issues of smart growth, design excellence, and urban design. His teaching and research have thickened the pedagogy and outreach efforts of architects, especially within the community engagement and a greater emphasis on interdisciplinary collaborations.
Academia
Since 2003, Huber has been involved in teaching as a studio instructor, adjunct professor, assistant professor tenure-track and tenured associate professor and has served as the Director of the Florida Atlantic University School of Architecture. He has been in countless reviews at various schools of architecture across the country. From 2005-2014 he served as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Fay Jones School of Architecture + Design at the University of Arkansas. In 2014 he was appointed as an Assistant Professor Tenure-Track in the School of Architecture at Florida Atlantic University. In 2018 he became tenured and promoted to Associate Professor. He has held several key positions in the school, from 2018-2020, Huber served as Director of the MetroLab Collaborative, a community outreach arm of the school. In 2020-2021, Huber served as the Director of the School. Huber is currently on sabbatical.
Publications
Huber has contributed to professional design and academic research that has resulted in numerous publications on a multitude of topics that oscillate between architecture, landscape architecture and urban design. Through teaching and professional positions Huber has published articles for the Institute and academic realms on creative place-making and resilient design practices that aim to create supply-side design models that change policy and design practice. In addition to authored and co-authored publications, his creative works have been published in several books, journals, and articles across the globe. Notable publications include Low Impact Development: a design manual for urban areas [7], Fast Forward Fort Lauderdale Design and Construction Manual for a Resilient and Sustainable Community and Cohesive Public Realm and Salty Urbanism: Towards an Adaptive Coastal Design Framework to Address Future Sea Level Rise.
