Occupation: Boundary; Art, Architecture, and Culture at the Water
ORO Editions, 2022
Book Design: Office of Luke Bulman
Co-Author with Cathy Simon
Available on Amazon
This book examines the social, political, and cultural factors that have influenced the
evolution of the urban waterfront. Reaching beyond the disciplines of architecture and
urban design, Occupation: Boundary sheds light on the dual roles art and culture have
played as mediums that both record and instigate change at the threshold of the city and
the sea. Developing a close working relationship with Cathy Simon and learning of her
life experiences, in particular those as a young female architect beginning practice in the
1970s, was integral to successful storytelling.
[TRANS-] FICTION
[Trans-] Journal, volume 6, CAPLA, 2020
University of Arizona, College of Architecture, Planning, & Landscape Architecture
Contributing Author
Available on Amazon
Architecture may be said to originate from fictitious realms; imagined forms and abstract
marks of representation materialize in space and time to tell stories through the distilla-
tion of ideas, by establishing perspectives, transforming information, and mapping cul-
tural concerns. In its sixth iteration, [Trans-] Journal explores the relationship between
fiction and architecture. This issue assumes an elastic definition of architecture as media
that critically engages with design practice and the spatial realm. “Fiction Hoax Fiction”
is a comparison of the untruths that emerge in the design process to those that emerge in
contemporary crises, namely the 2020 pandemic and climate change.
In Search of African American Space: Redressing Racism
Lars Müller Publishers, 2020
Co-Editor with Jeffrey Hogrefe, Scott Ruff, and Ashley Simone
Available:
If African American experience emerges from the structure of slavery, how does architec-
ture relate to that experience? Rather than seek affirmation from a Eurocentric discipline
that has regulated and excluded them from its study and practice, African Americans have
claimed space in unexpected locations. Essays from varied voices—contemporary archi-
tects, artists, and historians—remain distinct even as they are synthesized in this antholo-
gy of consciousness-evoking practices.
