Susan P Bristol has been teaching architecture since she began pursuing her Masters Degree, serving as a Teaching Assistant, guest lecturer and instructor in Vicenza, Italy. Since then, she has shared her love of Architecture with all ages. Her classroom has included public & independent schools, schoolyards, gardens, summer camps, cities, the natural environment and University classrooms & studios.

Speaking engagements have ranged from audiences of public citizens, community organizations, elected officials, students, and fellow professionals.
