Summary
Kyle Steinfeld is an architect and computational designer with 13 years of academic and practice experience, currently serving as Faculty Director of UC Berkeley’s Masters of Design and an Associate Professor of Architecture. He blends creative practice, scholarly research, and software development to explore the poetic and uncanny potentials of computational design, challenging the prescriptive voice of algorithmic outputs. Based in Oakland/San Francisco, his career bridges leading design studios and top universities, from Acconci Studio and Diller Scofidio + Renfro to MIT and Berkeley, where he has held leadership roles including Associate Dean and program director. Known for work that moves fluidly between visual and spatial media, he frequently develops algorithmic and parametric methods that make electronics and code feel tactile and unexpected. An editorial board member of the International Journal of Architectural Computing and a former research fellow at Stochastic Labs, he brings rare depth in both theory and tool-building for creative AI and design.
