About Peter

Peter Olshavsky serves as an Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's College of Architecture. He earned his Ph.D. and M.Arch. II in History and Theory of Architecture from McGill University, along with a B.Arch. from The Pennsylvania State University. His career includes prior teaching at McGill University and Temple University, and professional practice in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Olshavsky's academic interests lie in history, theory, and design, focusing on contemporary phenomenology and the entanglements of innovation, media, and chatter in architectural discourse and pedagogy, examined through the lenses of Modernism and Late-Modern American architecture. Ongoing research encompasses Daniel Libeskind’s pedagogy at Cranbrook Academy of Art (1978-1985), Steven Holl Architect’s collaborations with BNIM, and videos of MOS Architects.
