For the student-run workshop that begins tonite, I have recruited two faculty talents to provide a mini-lecture at the midpoint of the upcoming two sessions to give maximum context to the questions we will pose together. Prof Kyna Leski’s book Design Principles is indicative of the issues she will raise; Prof Joy Ko is a mathematics professor from Brown and is someone I randomly met at the recent alumni art fair that will add an excellent analytical dimension to our little workshop. Thank you Professors Leski and Ko!

RISD Prof Kyna Leski has been active in forming, teaching and coordinating the first semester core design curriculum in Architecture since 1989. 3six0

Brown Prof Joy Ko’s special interest is the application of novel teaching methods to demystify mathematical principles and tools to non-math specialists.
