Background

About Ryan Clement

I am a recent MArch graduate of MIT SA+P. I am passionate about creating narrative architecture that critically addresses issues such as climate change, financial structures, the suburban-urban divide, and labor and the collective. I believe that the contemporary aesthetic in architecture is not sufficient to convey the narratives critical to our moment. As a result, I often look back, sometimes centuries, to different aesthetic movements, as well as to kitsch and camp within the built environment that is outside of what is generally accepted by the discipline. A Colorado native, I received my bachelor's degree in architectural engineering at the University of Colorado-Boulder, where I focused on structural engineering. I have worked in both structural engineering and architectural offices.
