Jeremy Magner

Jeremy served as a Tennessee Architecture Fellow from 2020-2022 and more recently as lecturer in the School of Architecture. In teaching, research, and practice he challenges conventional boundaries between designer and builder with the aim of developing a deeper engagement with the means of production of architecture and its consequences—human, material, and ecological. Magner’s work is deeply in-tune to regional cultures of extraction and making and his embedded creative practice cultivates kinship with robots and people alike. This often involves design of protocols, tools, and rituals. He tells stories about people, process, materials, and the planet through and around his work. In 2015, he was selected as an Artist-in-Residence/Affiliated Artist at AUTODESK Pier 9 Workshop and for many years managed project fabrication and design for notable firms including robotics-leader Machineous as well as Gensler, Morphosis and others before beginning a teaching and research trajectory at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
