Rate My Professor Kevin Klinger

Klinger’s research specializations encompass digitally-driven design and techniques of digital fabrication, promoting an ethic to “connect globally, and make locally” through project-based collaborations with students, industry partners, and communities at the nexus of emerging technologies and architectural production. He was a two-term President of the Association for Computer Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA) from 2003 to 2005, Vice-President from 2006 to 2007, and Conference Chair for ACADIA 2003. His influence in the field is evident in awards such as the Best Published Conference Paper Award at SIGraDi 2005 for “Visualizing Revisions: Representation Implications of Digital Fabrication,” TechPoint Mira Awards Finalist in 2009 for Education Contribution to Technology via iMADE, and Finalist in the Van Alen Institute Paris Prize in Public Architecture in 1997. Key publications include co-editing Manufacturing Material Effects: Rethinking Design and Making in Architecture (Routledge, 2008) with Branko Kolarevic, “Design-through-Production Formulations” in Nexus Journal (2012), “Synchronizing Decisions: Design-through-Production Methodology” at SIGraDi 2013, and “Visualizing the Operative and Analytic: Representing the Digital Fabrication Feedback Loop and Managing the Digital Exchange” in the International Journal of Architectural Computing (2006). Through these contributions, Klinger advances design-through-production processes bridging digital and physical realms in architecture.
