Focused on global perspectives in architecture, Andrew Holder is an Associate Professor of Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. With a keen interest in Public Art & Exhibition Design, Architecture Theory, and the History & Theory of the built environment, Holder brings a unique blend of academic rigor and practical experience to his role. He is also the co-principal of The LADG, an innovative architectural practice based in Los Angeles, where he actively engages in both design and theoretical exploration. Holder's research delves into the intricate relationships between architecture and its broader cultural and historical contexts. His work is particularly concerned with how buildings can act as dynamic participants within the built environment, much like human subjects. This perspective informs his teaching and research, as he seeks to bridge the gap between architectural form and its role in the continuum of ideas that shape our world. In addition to his academic and professional endeavors, Holder's contributions to the field have been widely recognized. He has been honored with prestigious awards, including two P/A Awards and the League Prize from the Architectural League of New York. These accolades underscore his commitment to pushing the boundaries of architectural thought and practice. Holder's interest in Representation and Materials & Material Systems further enriches his approach to architecture. By examining how materials and their systems contribute to the narrative of a building, he offers a comprehensive view that integrates both the tangible and intangible aspects of design. Through his work, Andrew Holder continues to inspire a new generation of architects to think critically about the role of architecture in society.
