John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design

Fall 2024 Public Program

Through a curated series of lectures, exhibitions, book talks, discussions, and symposia, this semester’s program raises questions and delves into contemporary issues facing the built and natural environment.

This lecture will delve into Chris Cornelius’ journey—showcasing their innovative approach to architecture that honors and integrates Indigenous traditions and values, and the profound impact their cultural heritage has on their design practice. He will share insights into how Indigenous philosophies, storytelling, and sustainable practices have influenced their designs, resulting in structures that are not only aesthetically stunning but also deeply meaningful to the communities they serve.Chris Cornelius is a citizen of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin, and Chair of Architecture at the University of New Mexico. Cornelius is founding principal of studio:indigenous founding and creates architecture and artifacts that dismantle stereotypes surrounding Indigenous design and offer a distinct vision of contemporary Indigenous culture. His awards include the Miller Prize from Exhibit Columbus and multiple Best of Design and Best of Practice Awards from the Architect’s Newspaper. His work has been exhibited at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale and the 2023 Chicago Architecture Biennial. He has been a visiting professor at Yale University and Columbia University.
