Welcome to join our AIANY Emerging New York Architects Committee Meeting – “Practitioner Educator: Insights for Emerging Architects”, presented by Connor Gravelle, RA, Visiting Critic at Cornell University AAP College of Architecture, Art and Planning, at AIA New York Center for Architecture.
Connor Gravelle is a licensed architect and researcher whose work examines the material, social, and ecological entanglements of architecture with its contexts. His design work focuses on the building as a site of profound contingency, where disciplinary abstraction meets physical reality. In both their construction and inhabited afterlives, Connor argues, buildings bind architecture to pressing questions of climate and equity at a moment of both historic challenge and opportunity.
Originally from Massachusetts, Connor has held research positions at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) and exhibited work at the Architecture and Design Museum of Los Angeles (2017, 2019–20) and at Harvard GSD (2024–25). He has contributed writing to publications from PLAT Journal 8.5 (2020), Archinect (2018–19), and Chung-Ang University’s Institute of Cultural Diversity content (2021). His professional training includes work at Handel Architects and HWKN in New York, BCHO Architects Associates in Seoul, and several offices in Los Angeles and London.
Connor holds an M.Arch. II with distinction from Harvard GSD, where he was awarded the Gerald M. McCue Medal and the James Templeton Kelley Prize. He earned his B.Arch. degree from the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), where he received the AIA Henry Adams Medal, the Alpha Rho Chi Medal, and the Blythe and Thom Mayne Undergraduate Thesis Prize.

The committees of AIA New York are the foundations from which the Chapter positions itself in the field of architecture, whether through discussion, advocacy, policy making and development, event and exhibition planning, or other endeavors.
Committees meet monthly, usually at the Center for Architecture. AIA members, AIA associate members, and general public are all welcome to participate.
If you have questions or are considering attending a meeting for the first time, contact each committee’s co-chairs for more information at aiany.org/committees.
