Greg Snyder

Greg Snyder is an Associate Professor and the Undergraduate Program Director at the School of Architecture at UNC Charlotte. His research interests are in issues that arise out of acts of making and construction, and the phenomena and meaning that accrue in and around these acts. The current set of projects that he is pursuing these research interests through is Case Goods – an investigation of furnishings as expandable environments, and The Metal Building in the Expanded Field – a body of work that looks to develop alternative ways to employ standardized building systems and catalogue componentry. His class First Year for Life is a recurring seminar elective that examines relationships between one’s architectural education and the practice of everyday life. His most recent class An Environmental Ethic seeks to introduce students to a set of interdependencies between Nature, Civilization, and Culture as a background to addressing critical issues of stewardship and design in the contemporary moment.
