Autorenporträt
Sean Burns is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at Ball State University specializing in architectural design, with an emphasis on foundations of design and beginner architectural education, as well as structural principles and behavioural analysis. Sean holds a professional Bachelor of Architecture degree from Kent State University and a post-professional Master of Architecture degree, with specialization in Architectural Design and Theory, from the University of Pennsylvania. Sean's current research concentrates on how the conditions of a site, both above and beyond the demarcation of the earth's surface and qualitative substance composition, might be influential agents throughout the architectural design process. This research is grounded in the writings and lessons of architectural theorists and other allied disciplines and applied through the methodological approaches to design as evident in his courses.
