Dana Bauer Lecturer B.S. Design and Environmental Analysis, Cornell University; M.Arch., with distinction, University College of London, Bartlett School of Architecture

Dana Bauer has recently launched a design practice based in Los Angeles, groundup LLC.  Current projects span domestic and urban realms and include a new residence in the Hollywood Hills and the re-imagining of a Los Angeles strip mall for a start up design community. Her prior experience includes award winning work at Michael Maltzan Architecture in Los Angeles on such projects as MoMa QNS, the UCLA Hammer Museum and Kidspace Children’s Museum. At Gensler, in New York, her work for HBO and ESPN received numerous accolades.  In addition to her 12 years practicing and teaching architecture, she has professional experience in set and costume design, fashion and photography.  Working between design disciplines has enabled her to explore concepts across diverse venues and a wide range of audiences. By exposing unlikely and underlying socio-cultural mechanisms, her work proposes ways in which urban and social solutions may be represented, communicated and implemented.
