Lynnette Widder

I am an architect, professor and generalist, as enthusiastic about theory of architecture as I am about do-it-yourself construction. My research ranges from the potentials of different thermal energy modeling programs for architectural detailing to the dialogue among German architects at home and in the US at the end of the 1940s. I teach in the Masters of Sustainability Management program at Columbia University. Prior to that, I was Associate Professor at the Rhode Island School of Design and department head from 2006-11. I spent eight years living in Germany and Switzerland, where I wrote, translated, edited, drew, supervised construction, completed competition entries and met some of the most important people in my life. I now live in New York, in one of the last really diverse parts of Manhattan.
