Paper Presenters

​

Cameron Macdonell | Assistant Professor | School of Interior Design | Toronto Metropolitan University

Cameron Macdonell is a historian of art, architecture, and interior design, focusing on the construction of meaning through iconographical, phenomenological, and psychological approaches to interiority. His current book project traces the ghost as a metaphysical and metaphorical figure (of speech) haunting the autobiographical interiors of houses architects design for themselves.

​

Sam Bennett | Part-Time Assistant Professor | Parsons School of Design | The New School

Sam Bennett is a repair artist and ethnographer.  She co-runs Repair Shop, a research and learning studio investigating maintenance and craft. In 2022, she was a Maintainers Movement fellow, researching the aesthetic values of maintenance in the built environment. Simply put, she finds magic in the existing and the discarded.

​

Susan Hedges | Associate Professor | Art & Design | Auckland University of Technology

Susan Hedges is an Associate Professor in Spatial Design. Her research platform focuses on the narrative in architectural drawing and the ephemeral nature of the surface and its imaginings. Current research pursues the resurgence of surface and ornament in contemporary interior architecture and building practices. The work considers the tension between adornment, object, cladding, surface and pattern inherent in a surface/pattern condition.

Lauren Drapala is currently a PhD candidate studying design history at Bard Graduate Center in New York City. Her dissertation research investigates the practice of artist-designed decorative immersive space and female patronage in the early twentieth century, through the close analysis of commissioned interiors in Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney's Sculpture Studio in Old Westbury, NY. She has worked as an architectural conservator on restoration projects throughout the United States and holds a BA in Art History from Smith College and an M.S. in Historic Preservation from the University of Pennsylvania. In addition to her graduate work, Lauren has taught in the History of Art & Design department at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY.

​

Clay Odom | Associate Professor | School of Architecture | The University of Texas at Austin

Clay Odom is an Associate Professor at The University of Texas School of Architecture, a graduate of Texas Tech University College of Architecture and the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture Planning and Preservation, and a licensed Interior Designer. He has completed art, building and interior projects around the world. His design work has been exhibited in France, Holland, Hong Kong, Australia and The United States. He is principal of the research-oriented design practice, studioMODO based in Austin, Texas. This active design practice in combination with his current teaching and research position at The UTSoA are the platforms for design-based scholarship exploring objects (in the sense of Object Oriented Ontology to include human and nonhuman life, built and natural environments, and designed or naturally occurring things) and their relation as generators range of complex spatial, atmospheric, contextual, environmental and material effects generation in relation to objects and space.  This research seeks to synthesize spatial design processes, systems and theory with the development of computationally enabled design techniques, fabrication, and installation methods.
