Elias Logan is an architectural designer whose background extends to the fields of preservation and planning; conservation and construction. A graduate of the Master of Architecture degree programs at both Kansas State University (MArch ’14) and Harvard’s Graduate School of Design (MArch II ’18), his ongoing research and design efforts take aim at treacherous triads involving representation, rhetoric, and realism; matter, myth, and morality. He is currently both practicing in Boston and researching European lithic structures in preparation for on-site representation and excavation efforts to be carried out with the support of the Julia Amory Appleton Travelling Fellowship. He counts among his companions, a dog.
Peter Carl’s biography is a sequence of re-starts. Beginning at Princeton [‘71], the first restart took place at the American Academy in Rome [‘74-6], interrupting a stint at the University of Kentucky [‘72-’78]. A second re-start at Cambridge University [‘78-’09] was followed by a third at the CASS, London Metropolitan University [‘09-’16]; and finally the fruits - or detritus - of all this were explored at the GSD [‘16-’17] in seminars called Practical Wisdom...from the raw materials - or ruins - of which a book of the same title is being concocted.
