Norman Kelley

Norman Kelley is an architecture and design collaborative based in Chicago and Cambridge, MA. Founded in 2012 by Carrie Norman and Thomas Kelley, the practice revises objects to examine history, measure attention span, and complicate authorship. Built works operate at the scale of buildings, furniture, and industrial design objects. The collaborative has taught design studios at Yale University, Harvard University, and Syracuse University; contributed work to the 14th Venice Architecture Biennial (2014), the Chicago Architecture Biennial (2015, 2017), and the Whitney Biennial (2019); and is a recipient of the Architectural League Prize (2014) and a United States Artists Fellowship (2018). Thomas Kelley is a Fellow of the American Academy in Rome (FAAR ’13) and Associate Professor at the School of Architecture at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC). Carrie Norman is a registered architect and Assistant Professor and Director of Undergraduate Major and Minor Programs at MIT School of Architecture and Planning.
