AUTHOR BIOGRAPHIES

Michelle Addington is Associate Professor of Building Technology at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where she teaches energy/environmental systems and building technology. Her research focuses on alternative thermal conditioning systems and discrete micro-environments, with a special interest in the intersections be­ tween the multiple scales of thermodynamic phenomena with building scale. She worked for many years as a research engineer in the aerospace and chemical industries before studying architecture, and she previously practiced and taught architecture in Philadelphia. She received a BS in mechanical engineering from Tulane University, a BArch from Temple University, and an MDesS and DOes from the GSD.

Pablo Allard is Assistant Professor of Architecture at the Universidad Catolica de Chile. In 1886, he received a Fulbright Scholarship to pursue studies at Harvard University, where he is currently a doctoral student. As a designer, his work has been exhibited at the 1881 Venice Biennial and at the GSD. In 2000 he was cited in the "Japan Architect" international housing competition for a project entitled "The Final House." He received a BA and a master's in architecture from the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile and a master of architecture and urban design in 1888 from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design.

Stan Allen is an architect and principal of Field Operations, an interdisciplinary design practice formed in 1888 in partnership with landscape architect James Corner. At Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning, and Preservation, he holds the positions of Associate Professor of Architecture and Director of the Advanced Design Program. He is the author of Points and Lines: Diagrams and Projects for the City and Practice: Architecture, Technique, and Representation. Current projects include buildings at Paju Book City, an "urban wetland" outside of Seoul Korea, a prototype weekend house in Sagaponac, New York, a garden for the French Cultural Services in New York, and a major land-use planning and infrastructural design study encompassing ten miles of the North Delaware waterfront in Philadelphia.

Timothy Hyde is an architect and a doctoral candidate in architectural history and theory at Harvard University. He has taught design and architectural history at Northeastern University and has practiced architecture in New York, Cambridge, and Saigon.

Singh Intrachooto is a design technology Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He has a background in architecture, interior design, facility management, and construction management. His research has focused on environmental issues related to the built environment. He has examined and developed university campus design models for the economic and climatic conditions in Thailand. His current research focuses on understanding the implementation process of technical innovation in buildings, with a special focus on energy-efficient innovations.

Nico Kienzl conducts research in the area of building construction for sustainable design. He has been involved in prototype development, simulation, design and construction of building envelopes utilizing advanced materials and technologies both in his academic and professional career in the United States and Germany. He holds a Diploma in Architecture from the Technical University in Munich, a Master of Science in Building Technology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and is currently a Doctor of Design Candidate at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University.

Eric Mumford is Assistant Professor at the School of Architecture, Washington University in St Louis. He is author of The ClAM Discourse on Urbanism, 1928­1960 (MIT Press, 2000) and of several articles on modern architecture and urbanism. Mumford received his Ph.D. from Princeton University.

Hashim Sarkis is Associate Professor of Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a practicing architect. His publications include Projecting Beirut (Prestel, 1888) and Circa 58: Lebanon in the Pictures and Plans of Constantinos Doxiadis (Dar An-Nahal, forthcoming 2001). His design work includes a housing project for the fishermen of Tyre and an agri­Gultural school in North Lebanon.
