Assia Crawford
Assia Crawford is Assistant Professor in the College of Architecture and Planning at the University of Colorado Denver, USA. Her creative practice research focuses on the development of biological material alternatives and digital fabrication practices for a post-Anthropocene era. Her work sits on the intersection of architecture, science and critical theory, and employs experimental and speculative design to address ecological challenges faced by communities at a time of environmental uncertainty.
Assia is a registered architect with Architects Registration Board (ARB) the UK’s regulator of architects and holds a PhD in architecture. She has previously held positions as the architect for the Hub for Biotechnology in the Built Environment (HBBE) and artist-in-residence at the Wellcome Centre for Mitochondrial Research. Assia is an editor of Biotechnology Design Journal and runs Wild Futures Lab, a research and teaching bio-design fabrication wet lab, which explores fabrication and making in the age of environmental decline.
