Bio
Michael Stradley is a designer and educator interested in the transformative, disruptive, and sometimes surprising potential of emerging and defunct technology. An architect by training, Stradley pursues work and forms of design research which cut across a range of scales and borrow processes and knowledge from architecture-adjacent disciplines. Recent projects include oil paintings executed by CNC-machine, a book of computer-generated, imaginary brushstrokes, an annually-editioned, absurdist material encyclopedia, and an exploration of architectural color theory in the context of computational design.
Outside of Stradley’s solo creative practice and teaching practice, he has worked collaboratively with a range of architects and artists to help realize their work. Past collaborations include work with EASTON+COMBS Architects, DESIGN EARTH, MITdesignX, installation artist Jonathan Berger, painter Ann Pibal, sculptor Jon Isherwood, sculptor Lauren Ewing, artist Susan Silas, and printmaker Thorsten Dennerline, to name a few.
In addition to his creative practice, Stradley has taught architecture and design at a number of educational institutions including Bennington College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and a Master of Science in Architectural Design from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Stradley currently lives and works in Troy, NY.
