KELLY BAIR + KRISTY BALLIET:
“Core Work”
Rensselaer School of Architecture continues its Fall 2021 Lecture Series this Monday November 1st at 6:30pm EST with the online lecture “Core Work” by architects Kelly Bair and Kristy Balliet, founding partners of BairBalliet (Los Angeles).
BairBalliet is a joint design venture invested in architectural research in the form of both speculative and built projects. As designers we reference the current world around us, lean on a long history of precedents, and imagine what lies ahead in the form of two & three dimensional architectural projects.
BairBalliet’s work has been exhibited internationally in the 2016 Venice Architecture Biennale and in various locations around the United States including New York(MoMA, Modern Museum of Art), Los Angeles (The Architecture & Design Museum & the SCI-Arc Gallery), Detroit (Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit), Chicago (The Night Gallery), New Haven (Yale University Gallery). In 2018, they were named a finalist for the 2018 MoMA PS1 Young Architects Program.
Kelly Bair is an Associate Professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago’s School of Architecture. Bair has also taught in Los Angeles at UCLA, SCI-Arc, and Woodbury University. Prior to BairBaillet, she worked as a project designer at various firms such as Brooks+Scarpa (formerly Pugh+Scarpa), Greg Lynn Form, and Belzberg Architects among others. Bair holds a Bachelor of Environmental Design from University of Colorado and a Master’s degree from the UCLA Department of Architecture and Urban Design.
Kristy Balliet is currently Design Faculty at SCI-Arc. She was an Associate Professor at the Knowlton School of Architecture at Ohio State and was Assistant Professor in Studio Greg Lynn at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna. She also taught at the University of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia University. She worked for seven years as a project designer at Erdy McHenry Architecture in Philadelphia.
