Jennifer Siegal
  Architecture that doesn't move—physically pick up and move—is just so second millennium. We're living in a mobile world, and if not just individuals but entire communities can't keep up when they need to, then what good are they?
Jennifer Siegal is the principal and founder of Office of Mobile Design, a progressive architecture/design studio that is dedicated to the exploration and production of prefabricated and portable eco-logic structures. She earned a master’s degree from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) in 1994, and was a 2003 Loeb Fellow at Harvard University’s School of Design where she explored the use of intelligent, kinetic, and lightweight materials. Ms. Siegal is well-known for her prefab projects Portable House and the Swellhouse, and she is now launching a modern, modular home product line, Take Home™.
Her work was exhibited at the prestigious Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum’s 2003 National Design Triennial: Inside Design Now; and the Walker Art Center’s Strangely Familiar: Design and Everyday Life. Her innovative design sensibilities and expertise in prefab and green building technologies were recognized by the popular media in 2003 when Esquire magazine named her one of the "Best and Brightest." In the same year, the Architectural League of New York included her in the acclaimed Emerging Voices program. Ms. Siegal is a Full Professor at Woodbury University in Los Angeles, and the editor of Mobile: The Art of Portable Architecture, a book and reference guide for architects on the art of transportable environments. Her new monthly publication series, Materials Monthly, debuted in May and has received glowing reviews.
