Jia Yi Gu joins homeLA Advisory Board
November 1, 2024
homeLA is excited to announce that Jia Yi Gu has joined our Advisory Board.
Jia Yi Gu is an architectural scholar, curator, and designer working on histories of knowledge production through the lens of media studies, cultural techniques, and material cultures (i.e. how we know and show our histories). Her research and courses explore changing definitions of architectural knowledge from the building site to the desktop. She is Assistant Professor of Architecture at Harvey Mudd College and one half of the architecture and research studio Spinagu. She develops exhibitions, texts, and experimental programming and projects.
Over the past decade, she has cultivated a pedagogical and curatorial practice centering on transdisciplinary and inquiry-based exhibitions, alongside the critique and transformation of institutional work. Previously, she was director and curator at the MAK Center for Art and Architecture and director of Materials & Applications, a Los Angeles based project space for experimental architecture. She is currently a Board member of the Feminist Center for Creative Work.
