Research/Creative Activities:

Christopher Domin is an architect, educator and curator whose research focuses on mid-20^th-century American architecture.  His current projects include New Desert Architecture, an exhibition and catalogue in process for the Museum of Contemporary Art: Tucson; Frank Lloyd Wright:  Between Architecture and Landscape, a book and related traveling exhibition dealing with Wright's strategies for regional adaptation at Florida Southern College (1938-1959); and Thin Shell: Testing Material Limits, an exhibition in development for the School of Architecture gallery dealing with the design and construction of thin shell concrete structures.  The exhibit will analyze the practical and theoretical implications of this technique through the work of architects and engineers such as Felix Candela, Bertrand Goldberg, Luigi Nervi, and Eduardo Torroja.  In addition, Domin accepts annually a small number of projects in practice to test the results of the historical and material research mentioned above.  This work is situated in the Sonoran Desert and the Gulf Coast of Florida-two profoundly inspiring landscapes.
