Biography

Felsen earned his Bachelor of Architecture from Virginia Tech College of Architecture and Urban Studies in 1991 and a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation in 1994.[12] Prior to founding his own firm, he worked for Peter Eisenman, Stan Allen, and OMA/Rem Koolhaas in Rotterdam.

In addition to practicing architecture at UrbanLab, Felsen has lectured internationally, and curated and participated in several international exhibitions about contemporary architecture and urbanism. Two public exhibitions curated by Felsen were held at the Chicago Architecture Foundation in 2016 and 2017. The 2016 show, titled "50 Designers, 50 Ideas, 50 Wards," exhibited transformative proposals aimed at improving the quality of life for residents in each of Chicago's 50 wards.[13] Felsen invited fifty notable architects and teams of architects/artists to participate and produce original work.[14] The 2017 show, titled "Between States - 50 Designers Transform Chicago's Neighborhoods," exhibited design solutions to transform underappreciated and underperforming parts of Chicago into rejuvenated civic anchors.[15] Again, fifty notable architects and teams of architects/artists were invited to participate and produce original work.[16] Felsen has publicly spoken about these exhibitions, along with the importance of architecture in tackling urgent issues such as globalization in cities on several occasions.[17] Felsen was invited to participate in the Venice Biennale of Architecture (La Biennale de Venezia) in 2010 and 2012, and the Chicago Architecture Biennial in 2015 and 2017. In 2010, as the Director of Archeworks, an alternative design school, Felsen exhibited "Mobile Food Collective" in the U.S. Pavilion at the 12th International Venice Biennale of Architecture.[18] In 2012, Felsen and UrbanLab exhibited "Fresh Water District" at the 13th International Venice Biennale of Architecture curated by David Chipperfield.[19] In 2015, Felsen and UrbanLab exhibited "Filter Island" at the Chicago Architecture Biennial curated by Sarah Herda and Joseph Grima.[20] In 2017, Felsen and UrbanLab exhibited "Re-Encampment" at the Chicago Architecture Biennial curated by Sharon Johnston and Mark Lee.[21] Felsen's work has also been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art,[22] the National Building Museum,[23] and the Art Institute of Chicago.[24] Felsen has been featured in several publications such as Architect magazine.[25] He has received many honors for his work, including several design awards from the American Institute of Architects.

Since 1996, Felsen has taught architecture and urban design as an associate professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology.[26] He has been a visiting professor at Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation and Washington University in St. Louis.[27] Felsen served as Director of Archeworks,[28] an alternative design school in Chicago from 2008-11.[29] Under his leadership, Archeworks completed several significant public interest design projects,[30] and developed and organized two influential urban design workshops titled Infrastructures for Change.[31] During Felsen's tenure, Archeworks’ projects were exhibited internationally at the Venice Biennale of Architecture[32] and The Architecture Foundation in London.[33] Felsen founded and served as editor of a new Archeworks publication titled Works.[34]

Bowling

UrbanLab: Bowling is a new book about UrbanLab's work authored by Martin Felsen and Sarah Dunn, published by Applied Research + Design.[35] The book explores relationships and realities between cities, architecture and water.[36][37] As populations steadily increase in cities, the world's natural resources are consumed at ever-faster rates.[38] The majority of the world's populations live in countries where clean water supplies are dwindling, and these water shortages are also quickly translating into food shortages. What can designers do to avert looming water-related realities?[39] UrbanLab: Bowling views potential water crises as opportunities to speculate on future urban design possibilities, especially in cities.[40][41] Several projects are presented that take an ecological approach to re-thinking received urban design methodologies of addressing the design of water-related infrastructures in existing and new cities.[42][43]
