Faculty Job Talk: Jenny Sabin

Jenny Sabin’s work is at the forefront of a new direction for 21st-century architectural practice — one that investigates the intersections of architecture and science, and applies insights and theories from biology and mathematics to the design of material structures. Sabin is the Arthur L. and Isabel B. Wiesenberger Associate Professor in the area of design and emerging technologies in the Department of Architecture at Cornell University. She is principal of Jenny Sabin Studio, an experimental architectural design studio based in Philadelphia, and director of the Sabin Design Lab at Cornell AAP, a hybrid research and design unit with specialization in computational design, data visualization, and digital fabrication.

Sabin was awarded a Pew Fellowship in the Arts in 2010, and in 2011 was named a United States Artists (USA) Knight Fellow in Architecture and Design, one of 50 artists and designers awarded nationally by USA. She was recently awarded the prestigious Architectural League Prize for Young Architects by the Architectural League of New York.
