Harriet Harriss Editor & Author

Harriet Harriss is a chartered architect and a senior lecturer in Architecture at Oxford Brookes University, and the founding director of ‘Live Lab’: a university-situated incubator for architecture business start-ups committed to social innovation. Harriet’s teaching and research publications explore how architects can enable people to live better lives and whether the public or ‘end users’ should be given a more active role in shaping the spaces and communities in which they live and work. Lynnette Widder teaches at Columbia University and practices architectural design with aardvarchitecture in New York. From 2006 to12, she was Head of the Department of Architecture at the Rhode Island School of Design, and from 1994 to 98 was an editor of the bilingual quarterly Daidalos. She coauthored Ira Rakatansky: As Modern as Tomorrow (2010).
