Angela Cho is an architectural designer, educator, and ceramicist based in Toronto and Ann Arbor. Highly manual and abundant in plaster and clay, her work grapples with philosophies and techniques of memory, preservation, scale, tactility, originality, and experiential sequence. Her design and pedagogy attempt to exacerbate natural tensions between index and mimesis, accident and control, movement and stillness, detail and context, and between different media, the latter often dissolving the conventional boundaries between disciplines. She has worked at Productora in Mexico City and Office of Adrian Phiffer in Toronto and continues to regularly collaborate with Phiffer on architectural competition projects. 

Angela has been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council, has exhibited internationally, and has attended artist residencies in South Korea and the United States. She has taught at Toronto Metropolitan University and at The University of Toronto, where she obtained her bachelor of interior design and master of architecture degrees, respectively.
