Join us for a captivating conversation with Jenny Sabin!
We’re excited to welcome internationally renowned architectural designer and educator Jenny Sabin of Jenny Sabin Studio as the guest speaker at our AIA Central Oklahoma Luncheon on Thursday, September 4th at 11:30 am at the Capitol View Event Center. Sabin is a pioneer at the intersection of design, science, and emerging technologies, known for her groundbreaking work in computational design, responsive architecture, and bio-inspired materials.
Her studio’s recent proposal, Bolt Tower, a 3D-printed, motion-responsive sculpture for the Oklahoma Fairgrounds, highlights how art, architecture, and technology can beautifully fuse with local memory and place. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of today’s most innovative thinkers in design.
Registration is required for the luncheon. AIA Central Oklahoma members attend free of charge and nonmembers are welcome to join us for $30. The deadline to register is Friday, August 29th. A big thank you to Nabholz Construction and Wallace Design Collective for sponsoring the September Luncheon.
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 responsive material structures and ecological spatial interventions for diverse audiences.
Sabin is the Arthur L. and Isabel B. Wiesenberger Professor in Architecture and the inaugural Chair for the new multicollege Department of Design Tech at the Cornell College of Architecture, Art, and Planning where she established a new advanced research degree in Matter Design Computation. She is principal of Jenny Sabin Studio, an experimental architectural design studio based in Ithaca and Director of the Sabin Design Lab at Cornell AAP. In 2006, she co-founded the Sabin+Jones LabStudio, a hybrid research and design unit, together with biologist, Peter Lloyd Jones. Sabin holds degrees in ceramics and interdisciplinary visual art from the University of Washington and a master of architecture from the University of Pennsylvania.
She was awarded a Pew Fellowship in the Arts 2010 and was named a USA Knight Fellow in Architecture. In 2014, she was awarded the prestigious Architectural League Prize for Young Architects and Architectural Record’s national Women in Architecture Awards selected her for the 2016 Innovator in design award. She has exhibited nationally and internationally including in the acclaimed 9th ArchiLab Naturalizing Architecture at FRAC Centre, Orleans, France and most recently as part of Beauty, the 5th Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial. Her book, LabStudio: Design Research Between Architecture and Biology, co-authored with Peter Lloyd Jones was published in July 2017. In 2017, Sabin won MoMA & MoMA PS1’s Young Architects Program with her submission, Lumen.
