In addition to his decade-long Seidler tour, he curated the Architects’ Voices Series, Emilio Ambasz retrospective, and Chess Game exhibition for the Russian Pavilion at the 2008 11th Venice Architecture Biennale. He taught design studio at Tsinghua University in Beijing in 2018-19 and has lectured at universities and museums in more than thirty countries.

Jean-Louis Cohen is the Sheldon H. Solow Professor in the History of Architecture at New York University’s Institute for Fine Arts. His research of the past decades builds upon his double identity of architect and historian, exploring theory and design from 1900 to the present day. He argues that since ancient times, cities have never stopped observing each other, as patterns and structures have been displaced across borders and oceans. Between 1997 to 2003 he created, on behalf of the French Minister of Culture, the Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine, a museum, research, and exhibition center, which opened in 2007 in the Paris Palais de Chaillot. He is the author of more than forty books published in many countries and translated in several languages.

Jeremy Edmiston is principal at System Architects and an associate professor at the City College of New York School of Architecture. System’s work has won the AIA Wilkinson Award, the AIA New Housing New York Competition, an Australian Timber Design Award, the Bank of America Design Award, the McGraw Hill Best Construction Award, and an ArchitzerA+ Award for Architecture + Materials. Perhaps his most influential work is BURST*008, a prefab house commissioned and fully constructed by the Museum of Modern Art.
