ABOUT

Biayna Bogosian's academic and professional background in architecture, urban design, environmental design, computational design, data science, spatial computing, and media arts has allowed her to move across and connect disciplines and different scales of design. It has also allowed her to understand innovation in design within a broader environmental context and explore data-driven and citizen-centric approaches to improve the built environment and the inhabitants' lives.

She is currently an Assistant Professor of Socially Engaged Design at Arizona State University (ASU). She holds joint appointments in ASU's Design School and the School for the Future of Innovation in Society. At ASU's Media and Immersive Experience (MIX) Center, her lab integrates architectural technology, spatial media, and immersive learning. Her research aims to develop participatory approaches that improve the built environment and enhance civic engagement. This research is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF), NASA, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

In addition to her role at ASU, Bogosian is the Associate Director of the Robotics and Digital Fabrication Lab at Florida International University (FIU). She is also an affiliate faculty member at FIU, where she was an Assistant Professor from 2019 to 2023.

Since 2011, Bogosian has had the pleasure of teaching at multiple high-ranking architecture schools, such as Columbia University GSAPP, Cornell University AAP, University of Southern California SoA, Tongji University CAUP, and Woodbury University SoA, amongst others.

Her educational background includes a Ph.D. in Media Arts from the University of Southern California (USC) and a Master of Science degree from Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation (GSAPP).

Bogosian has served on the ACADIA Organization's Board of Directors since 2020. She has Co-Chaired ACADIA 2021 Conference, "Realignments: Toward Critical Computation" (November 3-6, 2020), CAAD Futures 2021 Conference, "Design Imperatives: The Future is Now" (July 16-18, 2020), DigitalFUTURES World Workshops (2020-2021), and Chair of the InclusiveFUTURES Lecture Series 2021.
