Jordan Young is Adjunct Faculty in the Auburn University School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture. Young teaches second-year architecture studios and courses in digital fabrication. He is a co-founder of office office, an award-winning design-research practice that develops multi-scalar projects that defamiliarize everyday objects, materials, and spaces. Through research, drawings, exhibitions, and installations, the practice reimagines conventional methods of architectural production to find novel approaches to design.

Prior to joining Auburn University, Young was an instructor at Syracuse University and the Design Teaching Fellow at Cornell University. He has taught early design studios and visual representation courses. Young’s research explores alternative methods of making by examining the productive intersections between representation, computation, and digital fabrication techniques. Before founding office office, he most recently practiced at Jefferson Lettieri Office in Ithaca and Diller Scofidio + Renfro in New York City.

Young is a graduate of Cornell University where he received a Master of Architecture. He is the recipient of the Henry Adams Medal of Honor, the Eschweiler Prize, and the Mellon Urbanism Fellowship. His work has been published in PLATE, Association, and Suckerpunch Daily.
