Min | Day lecture
E.B. Min and Jeffrey L. Day speak as part of the Emerging Voices lecture series.
December 2, 2016
Recorded on April 5, 2016.
The Architectural League’s Emerging Voices program annually spotlights North American architects, landscape architects, and urban designers who have significant bodies of realized work and the potential to influence their field.
E.B. Min and Jeffrey L. Day formed Min | Day in 2003.
Min is based in San Francisco and has taught at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Day is based in Omaha and teaches at University of Nebraska.
Min | Day believes that “architecture is a spatial and material practice in the service of human habitation.” And as such, the studio seeks to create “infrastructure for social engagement, whether that be in the private world of the home, the collaborative landscape of the office or institution, or the collective realm of the city.”
Recent projects include the Blue Barn Theatre & Boxcar 10 in Omaha and the House on Lake Okoboji residence in Iowa. In 2014, Min | Day worked with TEF Design on proposals for new BART/Muni station entrances in San Francisco.
