Lecture Hall, 7:30pm

Teddy Cruz’s work integrates research, theory, and design production to create architecture, interiors, furniture, installations, public art, and landscape interventions. He founded his San Diego-based practice, Estudio Teddy Cruz, in 1993. His work “dwells at the border between San Diego and Tijuana, inspiring a practice and pedagogy that emerges out of the particularities of this bicultural territory and the integration of theoretical research and design production.” Cruz’s projects include Corridors on Imperial in San Diego and Casa Familiar—affordable housing in San Ysidro, CA. His housing project, Border Postcards: Chronicles from the Edge, was awarded the 2004–2005 James Stirling Memorial Lecture on the City by the Canadian Centre for Architecture. He’s included in SFAI’s Walter and McBean Galleries exhibition World Factory in March and April, 2007.
