Jenny Sabin Studio: Biosynthetic Architecture

Description

Jenny Sabin Studio, an award-winning transdisciplinary design and architecture office based in Ithaca, New York, USA, proposes a book titled "Jenny Sabin Studio: Biosynthetic Architecture", a survey of Jenny Sabin Studio's design thinking, research, and projects spanning over 12 years of practice in the arts, sciences, and architecture, with essay contributions from critical voices in the field. Ranging from research in biosynthetic matter and geometry to photoluminescent inhabitable environments to bottom-up responsive architectures, Jenny Sabin Studio's diverse work represented in this publication embodies design thinking at the forefront of collaborative innovation, interrogating the space between disciplines, exploring the intersections of architecture and science, and applying insights and theories from biology and mathematics to the design, fabrication, and production of material structures and ecological spatial interventions. With Contributions of Philip Beesley, Mario Carpo, Paola Antonelli, Achim Menges, and Bob Sheil.

Jenny E. Sabin is an architectural designer whose work is at the forefront of a new direction for 21st century architectural practice -- one that investigates the intersections of architecture and science, and applies insights and theories from biology and mathematics to the design of adaptive materials, structures, and environments. Sabin is the Arthur L. and Isabel B. Wiesenberger Professor in Architecture and Associate Dean for Design at Cornell College of Architecture, Art, and Planning where she established a new advanced research degree in Matter Design Computation. Sabin is principal of Jenny Sabin Studio, an experimental architectural design studio based in Ithaca and Director of the Sabin Lab at Cornell AAP, a transdisciplinary design research lab with specialization in computational design, data visualization, and digital fabrication.

Lumen by Jenny Sabin Studio has been named the winner of The Museum of Modern Art and MoMA PS1's annual Young Architects Program (2017)
