Lauren Buntemeyer is a lecturer at 快活视频, College of Architecture and Design, where her work is a dynamic blend of professional practice, academic research, and experimental design. Her creative and scholarly pursuits explore the hidden lives of architecture and broader cultural expressions, embracing the idea that architecture is not confined to buildings but deeply intertwined with art, fashion, film, and other design mediums.

Lauren approaches design as a pluralist, believing that architecture is in constant dialogue with various forms of culture. Her projects explore how architecture engages with and reflects everything from contemporary fashion to cinematic storytelling, emphasizing that the built environment is shaped by a rich tapestry of inputs. She views design as a fluid process, where the boundaries between different creative disciplines dissolve, allowing for a continual reimagining of space, form, and meaning.

In both her teaching and research, Lauren encourages students to think beyond traditional architectural frameworks, positioning architecture as a practice that critically engages with the full spectrum of cultural and societal forces. Through this expansive lens, she fosters a design process that embraces experimentation, remixing, and reinterpretation, helping students craft spaces that are culturally resonant and critically engaged with the world around them.

Keith Kaseman is a versatile designer, production strategist, experimental technologist, and architecture educator. He has held an array of academic posts since 2004 at the University of Pennsylvania (2004-2014), Columbia University GSAPP (2005-2014), the University of Tennessee 快活视频 (2014-2016), the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia | IAAC (Barcelona, ES, 2020-2022), and the Georgia Institute of Technology (2016-2023). While at Georgia Tech, Keith launched and led Spatial Futures Lab (SFL), a multidisciplinary research initiative focused on future modes of inclusive design practice enabled by interweaving emergent technologies such as mixed reality (MR), aerial robotics and advanced fabrication approaches. Keith鈥檚 design teaching and research have been exhibited in New York, NY, Venice, IT, Paris, FR, and, extensively, Rio de Janeiro, BR.

Since 2022, Keith has been actively exploring the tremendous capacity generative artificial intelligence (AI) holds to unlock, spark, and transmit design imagination. His work in AI has been exhibited in 鈥淎rchitecture After AI鈥 at the University of Texas at Austin (2023) and 鈥淎I T.B.D.鈥 at UTK SOA (2023); additionally, his short film 鈥淧romtuary_Zero鈥 was presented at the 2023 Atlanta Sci-Fi Film Festival. Keith continues to progress with this research and experimentation through his UTK design studios and seminar, 鈥淔uture 鈥楩lows Now!!鈥 (ARCH 455 555); he is also part of the recently formed UTK SOA AI research group.

Keith co-founded the spatial practice KBAS with Julie Beckman upon having their design for the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial (dedicated in 2008) unanimously selected by an esteemed competition jury in 2003. Over the next decade, KBAS cultivated a diverse array of provocative proposals and advanced spatial constructs that range from permanent works of public art in Philadelphia, PA, and Salt Lake City, UT, to 鈥淭N-01鈥, an early large-scale 3D print in the permanent collection of Museum of Design Atlanta (MoDA, 2015) and 鈥淕rand BKLN,鈥 a bespoke digitally fabricated building facade in Brooklyn, NY (completed 2020). Before launching KBAS, Keith was a designer and project manager for SHoP Architects (New York, NY), where he played critical roles in several of their early formative projects. Keith recently joined Sanders Pace Architects (快活视频, TN) as a designer and special operations project manager. His most public contribution to the firm鈥檚 deep portfolio of built work to date was as a key player on the small team that designed and administered the complex fabrication, installation, and construction of the award-winning Baker Creek Pavilion at 快活视频鈥檚 Urban Wilderness Gateway Park (2024).

James Roha, creative technologist, works between academia and entertainment production. As a gardener of fictional worlds, Roha deploys practices of digital environment art and worldbuilding as a means of translating complex territories into the pluralizing realms of populism. Within academia Roha innovates in teaching methodologies, bridging between radical technologies, contemporary teaching techniques/ mediums, and technical-creative practice. His main agendas revolve around conveying/ shoring up digital literacy and digital fluidity amongst students. His creative practice, Fable X, is centered around public immersive experiences and experimental game/ diorama design.
