Introduction by Stefanos Polyzoides.
A tireless advocate for urbanism in his hometown, Austin, Texas, and the Central Texas region, Sinclair Black is not resting on his considerable laurels after four decades of activism. Sinclair Black's architectural career began in 1962, when he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Architecture from the University of Texas. The San Antonio native (though he was born in Tyler) then earned a Master's degree in Architecture from the University of California, Berkeley in 1970. He formed his his own architecture firm in 1967, and later formed the partnership of Black, Atkinson, and Vernooy (BAV) in 1983 which, among its many other awards and recognitions before disbanding four years later, received the AIA national award for its design of the North Austin Center. Sinclair Black is also a co-founder and principal architect of the Black+Vernooy Architecture and Urban Design firm of Austin, where he currently serves as a committee member of the Austin Downtown Alliance. He continues to serve as a member of the faculty at the University of Texas School of Architecture where he has educated future architects of the world since 1967.
As stated by Stefanos Polyzoides,Co-Founder of Congress for the New Urbanism, "Sinclair Black has dedicated his entire professional life to a series of grand and not particularly popular causes. He educated two generations of architects and urbanists at the University of Texas. He advocated the revitalization of Downtown Austin and San Antonio as an architect and a developer, when Sprawl and Urban Renewal were the rage. He has contributed hundreds of beautiful projects designed in a form that belongs to the Central Texas region alone. He has been engaged for decades with the public process and values precedent, people and their experience of place, as the basis of all design. He is a rare combination of a modest person and a brilliant mind. He has labored in favor of every key idea that is identified with the New Urbanism, and, unlike many other of his contemporaries, has had the courage to join a movement he did not invent. He is a true prophet in his home town. It is time to recognize his enormous contributions, and to remind ourselves that, in order to prosper and to become grounded in tradition, every town and city in America needs the quiet fortitude and inspiring leadership of a Sinclair Black.“
