Bio:

Bryan Young received his Master of Architecture with distinction from Harvard University in 2003, where he was awarded the AIA Henry Adams Medal and the Thesis Prize for his spatial diagrams on Donkey Kong and Pac-Man. He received his Bachelor of Arts with highest honors from UC Berkeley in 1997. Since 2009 he has taught design studios and seminars at universities including MIT School of Architecture + Planning, Columbia GSAPP, Parsons School of Design, Syracuse University School of Architecture, and The Cooper Union. Prior to establishing his studio, Young was a senior associate at Allied Works Architecture and previously worked for ARO, SOM, and Peter Pfau.

Founded in 2010, Young Projects studio explores a variety of methods: breaking traditional techniques for fabrication, hand pulling plaster, growing crystals, and burning things, to name a few; geometry, pattern, texture, and spatial complexity play a significant role in creating an ambiguous architecture. Copies of Young Projects' first monograph will be available for purchase at the event.

Introduction by Caroline O'Donnell

Cornell AAP is following the university's masking policy. The choice to wear a face mask is a personal one, and no one should be made to feel uncomfortable because of their choice. It is well established that wearing a mask while indoors reduces the risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. Individuals who are concerned about the risk of infection are encouraged to continue to wear a mask, and we ask that all members of our community support and respect one another's masking choices. Vaccination remains the best protection against serious illness and we urge those who have not yet been vaccinated or boosted to do so.
Please adhere to Cornell University's COVID-19 guidelines. Stay informed at covid.cornell.edu.
