About 

Jeffrey Mansfield is a designer whose work explores the sensory relationship between the body and the mediated realities of language, architecture, and landscape. His work has been published in Tacet and his collaborations with Noe Soulier and Tarek Atoui have been featured at MoMA PS1 and the Sharjah Biennial. He completed his Master of Architecture at Harvard, where his thesis, Incidents of Presence, questioned the construction of the body through language and architecture.
