Biography
Assistant Professor Erin Moore uses her research practice, FLOAT, as a testing ground for ideas about how to build with explicit intentions for the lives and life spans of materials and so of the buildings. One such project, a writing studio that she designed as part of a watershed restoration, is recently completed. Moore also works—in teaching and research—on topics related to the end of the lives of buildings, particularly in terms of material and ecological transformation, building demolition and design for deconstruction. Moore is co-founder of Floodspace, a partnership in research on design innovations for communities subject to climate change-related flooding in Bangladesh. She is currently writing on environmental ethics in metrics of architectural sustainability.
