Eric HÖWELER / Höweler + Yoon
Eric Höweler, FAIA, LEED AP is an architect, designer, and educator. He is co-founding partner of Höweler + Yoon and Professor in Architecture at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design, where he is the Program Director for the Masters of Architecture Program. Höweler’s design work and research focuses on building technology integration and material systems. His projects range from cultural buildings and mixed-use residential buildings to public spaces and interactive environments.
Höweler + Yoon is a design-driven architecture and urbanism practice whose work is deeply informed by social and cultural context. Over the last 18 years, they have built a reputation for work that is formally and technologically innovative, socially engaged, and conceptually rigorous. The awardwinning firm has sought to expand the scope of design beyond disciplinary boundaries, has benefited from collaborations with experts in numerous fields, and has taken a hands-on approach to design and implementation. This has resulted in unprecedented work in atypical fields: interactive landscapes, submersible structures, stone vaulting, and media projects.
Recently completed projects include the MIT Museum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers at the University of Virginia, and the Coolidge Corner Theatre expansion. Höweler's work has been exhibited widely, including at the Museum of Modern Art, Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, and the Venice Biennale.
Eric is the co-author of Expanded Practice, Verify In Field: Projects and Conversations Höweler + Yoon, and author of the forthcoming Design for Construction: The Tectonic Imagination in Contemporary Architecture. Höweler + Yoon
