Todd Gannon
Biographical interview
SUMMARY
This interview covers Todd’s education and career, and teaching at OSU, UCLA, Sci Arc, and OSU again, and focuses the relationship between the discipline and the profession and between academia and practice. Todd discusses his thinking about the need to sustain what he calls the “paradox” of these two elements of architecture, and by his insistence upon not reducing the binary to one or other of their poles.
