Francois Roche is the principal of New-Territories, based in New York, Bangkok, and (sometimes) Paris. Through these different structures, his architectural works and protocols seek to articulate the realand/or fictional,along with the geographic situations and narrative structures that can transform them. New-Territories is organized on three sets of themes: research as speculation, fiction as practice, and practice as lifespan. He is also the founder of R&Sie(n) as well as [eIf/bʌt/c], institute for contingent scenarios. He is currently a professor at Columbia University GSAPP and he has taught at numerous universities, including University of Pennsylvania, University of Southern California, RMIT and Angewandte.
Ezio Blasetti (ahylo studio, maeta studio / NTUA, MsAAD Columbia University): architect TEE/TCG and founder of algorithmicdesign.net. His recent collaborations include Acconci Studio, Biothing and a|Um Studio. He has taught generative design studios and seminars by means of computational geometry at Pratt Institute, the Architectural Association, Sciarc, RPI, UTS, PennDesign and Columbia University. In 2004 he co-founded own studio, a young design-build practice and completed several projects in Greece. His work has been exhibited and published internationally and is part of the permanent collection of the Centre Pompidou.
Stephan Henrich, living and practicing in Stuttgart, Germany, studied architecture and urban design at Universitat Stuttgart. Since 2004, he has been working with R&Sie(n) Architects, Paris, where he is an associate for several projects including: “I’ve heard about”, the Architectural Biennale, Venice (2008 and 2010), and “Une Architecture Des Humeurs”. He has also worked for Knippers/ Helbig advanced engineering, Stuttgart and Schlaich Bergermann and Partners, Stuttgart. Henrich was teaching at USC, Los Angeles and U-Penn, Philadelphia. His research focuses on robotic design and the use of robotics in architecture. Previously, he has taught at the AA (Summer-school 2006), at Die Angewandte, Vienna and was a fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart.
Camille Lacadee is a founder of [eIf/bʌt/c], institute for contingent scenario (film and architecture). She graduated in 2009 from Ecole Speciale d’Architecture in Paris, after passing her RIBA Part 1 at the Architectural Association in London.
Since then she has lived and worked in Asia (Japan, India and Thailand) and is currently designing a contemporary art museum in Bangkok while pursuing the design of a cultural center in Karnataka, India. Moving between writing, architecture and film, she has realized several sets, directed and acted in short to medium feature films, and was guest teacher at Chulalongkorn and Thammasat Universities in Bangkok.
Danielle Willems is a partner of Maeta Design llc a New York design firm, and a professor of architecture at Pratt Institute. She holds a Masters of Science in Advanced Architecture Design from Columbia University and Bachelors in Architecture from The Southern California Institute of Architecture. Her work seeks to merge concepts, techniques and methods from a multitude of design fields such as fashion design, motiongraphic and film into the discipline of architecture. She has designed and completed series of high profile projects including the new Giorgio Arrnani store in Madison Avenue, New York.
