Research/Creative Activities:

Beth Weinstein is involved in research and projects that investigate architecture as scaffold for event and action.  This interest is related to both architectural works for performance (dance and theater) as well as for daily rituals or exceptional events.  She has also taught several studios on the theme of utopias, or the critique thereof, as it relates to the conceptualization/planning and making of societies, the relationship between the individual and the collective, and historical thinking about possible futures.  In addition, she is interested in the relationship between drawing and fabrication processes as tightly related practices.  She would like to work with students who are interested in developing design methodologies that tightly link conceptual/critical thinking to the concrete/ material and the experiential. Students should be concerned about the quality and craft of the physical artifacts they design and make and be interested in the way in which architecture supports and influences the manner in which people live and experience life.  Weinstein's website includes information on her design work and teaching to date.
