Sneha Patel is currently a professor at the Tyler School Department of Architecture at Temple University serving as a design critic in the second-year studio. Her personal architectural interests lie in finding creative and innovative ways of rethinking ubiquitous yet marginalized forms, typologies and programs in the American design landscape, related to a culture defined by modes of efficiency and standardization. Research has included program types such as airports, immigration offices and parking lots, as well as the standardization of the production and manufacturing process of building materials in suburban residential architecture. Sneha’s work displays her fascination with representational techniques and how the art of making and crafting plays an integral role in both the profession and education of an architect.
