Come join The Society for History and Graphics (SHAG), AIGA, and Morgan State University's School of Architecture and Planning for a talk and workshop about how we might make space in the future. Application House is a speculative design project for a future house and neighborhood, after a brief talk about that project, you'll have the chance to participate in a collaborative workshop in which we'll draw a whole city.

His work as a designer and researcher is about how we imagine new spaces for future worlds, and about who is invited into them. He received his Masters in Architecture from Yale University. His writing has been published in the Journal of Architectural Education, Log, CLOG, Volume, Domus, Places Journal, Slate, and CityLab. His architectural criticism has appeared in the The Architect’s Newspaper, and in the local alt-weekly Baltimore City Paper.
