ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, I spoke with Los Angeles-based architect and educator Aaron Gensler. In our conversation, we talk about the evolution of architectural education, ways to be an educator, and several topics surrounding architecture school, including studio culture, all-nighters, the creative process, and final review juries.
Aaron is a Visiting Associate Professor and the Chair of the Undergraduate and Graduate Architecture Programs at Woodbury University in Los Angeles. She serves on the National Council for Madame Architect and is a member of the Board of Trustees for California College of the Arts.
Aaron is one half of GenslerClipp—an architecture, design, and research practice based in Southern California. Prior to forming GenslerClipp, she held design positions at a diverse array of firms from Los Angeles to Rwanda.
She received her Master of Architecture from Cornell University, where she was awarded the Alpha Rho Chi Medal and, more recently, was awarded a Robert James Eidlitz Travel Fellowship. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from Middlebury College, where she received several accolades from the Middlebury Museum of Art, Chellis House, and the KCACTF for her work.
