DESIGN LECTURE SERIES: JESSE VOGLER AND SZU-HAN HO

Jesse received his M.Arch from UC Berkeley and currently teaches graduate seminars and design studios at the Illinois Institute of Technology and at Archeworks in Chicago. Szu- Han received her MA in Visual and Critical Studies from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is currently working toward an MFA at SAIC.

thenorthroom, a critical art and design practice initiated in 2004, serves as an experimental platform for their research-based inquiries into spatial practices, material cultures, and expanded notions of community. Recent papers have been presented at the New School, the University of Chicago Department of Cinema and Media Studies, the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture in Los Angeles, and the Vernacular Architects Forum in New York. Their collaborative work will feature in a forthcoming publication by [bracket], an annual publication of architecture, landscape, and urbanism. They are currently living and working in Chicago.
