Preston Scott Cohen

is a Boston-based architect and Associate Professor of Architecture at Harvard University Graduate School of Design. Cohen's work addresses the possibilities of projective geometry as a way to conceptualize architectural design. His practice has included houses and interiors in Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Texas as well as numerous speculative projects. He was recently short-listed in international competitions for the Eyebeam Museum of Art and Technology (2001) and the Temporary Museum of Modern Art (2000), both in New York. Projects have been included in "Folds, Blobs and Boxes: Architecture in the Digital Era," the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh (2001) and "The Un-Private House," The Museum of Modern Art, New York (1999). Cohen was chosen to represent the United States in the Venice Biennale of Architecture in 1996 and is the author of Contested Symmetries and Other Predicaments in Architecture (Princeton Architectural Press, 2001) and Permutations of Descriptive Geometry (forthcoming, 2003).
