John McMorrough is an architect who writes about the relationship between design and culture with a focus on architecture’s extended field, which includes buildings, but also related media such as images (still and moving), arguments, installations, and other forms of structured content. As a partner of studioAPT, he designs scenarios at the scale of building and situation. His writing and design work has appeared in books and publications such as Perspecta, Log, Volume, Praxis, Threshold, MAS Context, and Flat Out, and he has taught theory and design at the Yale School of Architecture, the Ohio State University, the University of Applied Arts Vienna, and the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University, among other institutions. Currently, John is a professor at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan.
