Antje Steinmuller is Associate Professor at California College of the Arts (CCA) where she chairs the Bachelor of Architecture program and codirects the Urban Works Agency, CCA’s urbanism research lab. Her research explores the role of design at the intersection of citizen-led and city-regulated processes in the production of urban space—from new typologies of urban commons to new forms of collective living. She is also a cofounder of ideal X, a design consultancy focused on the collective potentials of urban spaces in transition. Most recently, her work has been exhibited at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, SPUR Urban Center, and the Venice Biennale of Architecture.
