BIOGRAPHICAL Summary of Work
von is a second-generation architect
and the founder, President/CEO of The
MXD Collaborative, Inc (www.mxd-manis.com). von formed MXD
as an
independent consulting firm in 1992 in order to bring some of the
best and
creative minds together to help improve urban environments as a
collaborative
effort.
Since 1995 he has made MXD one of a few urban design firms that
specializes
in urban safety. He has overseen the completion of a number of
crime
prevention through environmental design (CPTED) projects in
multiple
jurisdictions in metro Atlanta. von is certified by the National
Council of
Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) and as a result holds
licenses to
practice architecture in Illinois, Florida, and Georgia.
Nkosi’s experience in and knowledge of urban design, CPTED,
architecture,
multimedia and academic research has helped move smart growth
strategies
forward in the metro Atlanta region. Some projects have
included
implementation planning for the MLK Jr. Historic District for the
Historic District
Development Corporation (HDDC) and assisting ANDP, the former
Corporation
for Olympic Development of Atlanta (CODA) and the City of
Atlanta’s
Department of Housing to identify the gaps in neighborhood
development
projects prior to the 1996 Olympic Games.
Between November 1998 and February 2007 von directed the
Atlanta
Neighborhood Development Partnership, Inc. (ANDP)’s Mixed
Income
Communities Initiative (MICI), a holistic program designed to
increase the
number of viable mixed income housing developments in the 10-county
metro
Atlanta region.
Nkosi managed the creation of the 2004 released report called
“Making the
Case (MTC) for Mixed Income and Mixed Use Communities: An
Executive
Summary” report. With Ford Foundation-lead funding, this
effort was carried out
in partnership with the Atlanta Regional Commission, PolicyLink in
Oakland,
CA, the Center for Neighborhood Technology in Chicago, Greater
Atlanta Home
Builders Association, the Urban Land institute’s Atlanta
Office and others. The
Executive Summary and CD of the MTC report are available on
ANDP’s web
site at www.andpi.org/mici. In March of 2005
the MTC document became the #1
result of millions on the Google search engine for “mixed
income communities”.
It is being updated and will be released in Summer 2007.
As a result of his more than 15 years of experience, von is a
respected and
popular lecturer on topics of CPTED, Urban design and Housing.
Nkosi serves
on the board of SouthFace Energy Institute since January 2006, the
Community
Design Center of Atlanta since May 2006 and the YMCA Villages at
Carver
(Hope VI site) as of January 2007

a Ph.D. in
