Lars Spuybroek a full Professor and the Thomas W. Ventulett III Distinguished Chair in Architectural Design at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta (since 2006). Previously he was a Professor of Digital Design Techniques (University of Kassel, Germany, 2001-2006), and a Visiting Associate Professor of Architecture at Columbia University, New York (since 1998), Visiting Professor at ESARQ Barcelona (2004) and the Bartlett University of London (2002). He generally combines theory, design methodology and research in geometry and manufacturing. He is creating a special curriculum at Georgia Tech that involves theoretical seminars, design studios and the manufacturing of large scale models at the AWPL, Georgia Tech's unique laboratory of computer numerical controlled machinery. He organizes the annual Ventulett symposium that, together with the students'work in the above mentioned studios, becomes part of an annual book publication.
Lars Spuybroek is also the principal of NOX, an art & architecture studio in Rotterdam. Since the early nineties he has been researching the relationship between art, architecture and computing, not only by building but also by writing, speaking and teaching. He received international recognition after building the Water Pavilion (HtwoOexpo) in 1997, the first building in the world fully incorporating new media and topological, continuous geometry. In 2004 NOX finished the D-Tower, the Son-O-house and a cluster of cultural buildings in Lille, France (Maison Folies de Wazemmes). His project for the World Trade Center was published all over the world. Now, in 2007, they are working on many projects, both in architecture and in art.
In 2001 Lars Spuybroek published The Weight of the Image on the teaching of digital design techniques and in 2004 he published his 400-page monograph, NOX: Machining Architecture with the London publisher Thames & Hudson. For 2007 a new book is in preparation to be published with Routledge: Textile Tectonics - collected essays and interviews.
Since 1995 more than 385 articles have been written about Lars Spuybroek and his work. He has appeared on television, in newspapers and in many interviews in professional magazines, advocating the cultural usage of computing in architecture. He is considered as one of the main experts in the field. He has given around 200 lectures in over 30 different countries. Since 1995 he and his office have participated in over 60 exhibitions, among them presentations at several Venice Biennales (2000, 2002, 2004), the Centre Pompidou (2003) in Paris, the Victoria & Albert in London and the Guggenheim Bilbao.
