“The future is now.” We visited Jenny Sabin, one of the absolute forerunners and most creative minds of contemporary architecture. With her solid research base at Cornell University, she seeks to widen the boundaries and interconnectedness of her field and sees nature as an inspiring collaborator. • “So, one of the fundamental questions that drive all of our collaborative work with scientists, including cell and molecular biologists, material scientists, mechanical engineers, physicists, mathematicians, plant biologists, and beyond, is to look at how buildings and their integrated material systems may behave more like organisms do, interacting and responding and adapting to their natural environments.” • “A lot of people don't think a whole lot about the spaces that they occupy and the environments that we engage in impact who we are, our well-being, and our own health and wellness. And what I'm doing in collaboration with scientists gives rise to new ways of assessing how those environments impact us as people through the spaces we inhabit.” • “And I think we're now at a point where we realize the value of design and others are realizing the value of design, and that's where collaboration across disciplines, I think, radical new approaches are happening that are so exciting for the role of the architect. Maybe it isn't just about buildings but also about working on cancer biology. Maybe it's about working on entirely new material systems that can become adaptive building skins. And I think that's not only the future. It's the now.” • • Jenny E. Sabin (b.1974) is an architectural designer whose work is at the forefront of a new direction for 21st-century architectural practice—one that investigates the intersections of architecture and science and applies insights and theories from biology and mathematics to the design of responsive material structures and ecological spatial interventions for diverse audiences. • Sabin is the Arthur L. and Isabel B. Wiesenberger Professor in Architecture and the inaugural Chair for the new multi-college Department of Design Tech at the Cornell College of Architecture, Art, and Planning, where she established a new advanced research degree in Matter Design Computation. She is the principal of Jenny Sabin Studio, an experimental architectural design studio based in Ithaca, and Director of the Sabin Design Lab at Cornell AAP. In 2006, she co-founded the Sabin+Jones LabStudio, a hybrid research and design unit, with biologist Peter Lloyd Jones. Sabin holds degrees in ceramics and interdisciplinary visual art from the University of Washington and a master of architecture from the University of Pennsylvania. • She was awarded a Pew Fellowship in the Arts in 2010 and was named a USA Knight Fellow in Architecture. In 2014, she was awarded the prestigious Architectural League Prize for Young Architects, and Architectural Record’s national Women in Architecture Awards selected her for the 2016 Innovator in Design Award. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, including in the acclaimed 9th ArchiLab Naturalizing Architecture at FRAC Centre, Orleans, France, and as part of Beauty, the 5th Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial. In November 2024, she was part of the Living Structures exhibition at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. • Her book LabStudio: Design Research Between Architecture and Biology, co-authored with Peter Lloyd Jones, was published in July 2017. In 2017, Sabin won MoMA MoMA PS1’s Young Architects Program with her submission, Lumen. • Jenny Sabin was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner at Cornell University and in her studio in Ithaca, New York, in May 2024. • Camera: Jarl Therkelsen Kaldan • Edited by: Jarl Therkelsen Kaldan • Produced by: Marc-Christoph Wagner • Copyright: Louisiana Channel, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, 2024 • Louisiana Channel is supported by Den A.P.
