Join us at noon on April 7, 2023 for What next?! With Out of Architecture
This workshop is part of the spring program series at the CUDC, sponsored by Kent State’s College of Architecture and Environmental Design. The workshop will be a virtual event on Zoom with an in-person audience at the Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative. 1309 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland.
The workshop will explore how to design your career. We will be discussing job hunting tools and techniques, best practices, as well as providing resume and portfolio advice. We will also be looking at pathways both in, out, and adjacent to the architectural profession. This event will provide valuable insights and guidance to help you chart your course towards success.
Out of Architecture is the career consulting firm that helps you leverage the full value of your design education, in any field. The firm was started by two Harvard-educated professionals, Erin Pellegrino and Jake Rudin, who were interested in exploring the value of their skills both in and out of the architectural profession.
Erin is a Visiting Lecturer in Architecture at Cornell University with a focus in Professional Practice. Her studio, Matter., established in 2015 , has focused on small-scale interventions and a process-driven design methodology at various scales. Through her work, she seeks to uncover, build upon, and create relationships through product, furniture and architectural design. She also consults with early technology and design start-up companies for tech accelerators in the New York City area.
Jake works as a member of the Adidas Advanced Creation Technologies team - fabricating, designing, digitizing, model making, and exploring all aspects of footwear. As a designer, he has spent time working around the world for firms including Massimiliano Fuksas Architects, ZGF, and the Shenzhen Institute of Building Research. He has taught extensively in architecture and design fields at universities including Harvard, Cornell, Northeastern, and Portland State University where he currently teaches Visual Communications in the School of Architecture.
