We're joined this week by Devin Gharakhanian, co-founder and co-creative director of the super popular Instagram account and online platform SuperArchitects, to discuss his work in architecture media and community-building, alongside issues troubling architecture education and the public's perception of the profession.
Gharakhanian was inspired to start SuperArchitects to share architecture theses globally, feeling they are under-appreciated and underexposed. Frustrated by the gap between education and practice he experienced after graduating from Woodbury, he left traditional architecture to focus on exposing architects and their work to as wide an audience as possible, mostly through social media platforms.
I'll be on a panel covering architectural media with Gharakhanian, Benjamin Bratton and others next Wednesday, Sept. 14 at SCI-Arc, moderated by Bruno Juricic. Details here, drop by!
