Chris Taylor is an architect, educator, and director of Land Arts of the American West at Texas Tech University. In 1998 he spent a year in Venice, Italy mapping the spatial character of the city’s existence between water and sky. He explores the interstitial forces creating landscape through his practice, the Architecture Workers Combine, which has built work in New Mexico, Arizona, Texas and Pennsylvania. He also translates renga, an ancient form of Japanese poetry, into an operative model for building.
