JEFFREY KRAUSE - ARCHITECTURE

Jeffrey Krause is an architect, educator, and entrepreneur expanding the relationship between design and digital processes through architectural experiments, artistic representations and software development. There are two foci in the work, the creation of computational models to emulate, simulate or augment the cognitive processes of design thinking and aesthetic evaluation; and the use of technology to broaden the horizon of design thinking and alternative design processes.

Jeffrey is currently founder and Principal at the internationally recognized technology firm Blacksquare, where he oversees development and application design. He is also the founder of 4 other companies including a solutions provider for the non-profit sector. Prior to Blacksquare, he was Visiting Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of Hawaii teaching courses in architectural design and advanced computational design.

Jeffrey received his MS degree in Design and Computation from MIT, and has a Bachelor of Architecture from USC.
