For WOJR, the making of architecture is the making of artifacts. To think about the design of a work of architecture as such is to regard the acts of making form and reading form as simultaneous and inseparable. Being attuned to architecture in this particular way has lead to a practice that is invested deeply, if not wholly, in the agency of architectural form as the medium through which cultural commentary is conveyed.

All told, being an art historian at MIT means that “I’ve had to think well outside my comfort zone,” she says. “In the long term, that’s terrific. I’ve had to make my own work accessible to people coming from very different kinds of backgrounds. That’s been good. And in teaching, that’s essential.”
