Architecture Department Lunchtime Lecture with Ruo Jia

The Chair’s office at Spitzer is pleased to invite all students, faculty, and staff to the Architecture Department Lunchtime Lecture featuring Adjunct Assistant Professor Ruo Jia. This event will be co-sponsored by the Spitzer School of Architecture Asian Club (SSAA). Please join us in rm. 107.

Ruo Jia is an architect/artist/theorist/historian/educator based in NYC. She holds a Ph.D. in Architectural History and Theory from Princeton University School of Architecture with an interdisciplinary humanities certificate from Media+Modernity, an M.Arch. II from Harvard Graduate School of Design, and an M.Arch. and a B.Arch. from Southeast University.

She is a Visiting Assistant Professor at the School of Architecture at Pratt Institute, and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Spitzer School of Architecture.

Her research focuses on constructing a postmodernist materialist space through the interweaving of “Chinese Experimental Architecture” and “French Poststructuralist Theory,” which expands to envisioning the possibilities of Asian Feminist Architecture, and Posthumanist Sustainability. She is the founder and director of the research-based practice IfWorks, exploring art/architecture possibilities individually or collectively.
