About
Lisa Cheng Smith
I’m a designer seeking to explore the immaterial depths of our cultural makeup through the production of artifacts. My design process is closely aligned with art practice and privileges the affective over the utilitarian. In general, I cast a wide net when it comes to research and work, but draw strongly from the fields of architecture, cultural studies, and media technology.
I have a B.S. in architecture from The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2004) and am anticipating an MDes in Designed Objects from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in May 2008.
Influences: Marti Guixe, Michel deCerteau, George Maciunas, Dunne and Raby
