About

Joshua M. Nason is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at Texas Tech University.  He teaches architecture design studio and courses in construction, mapping and methods of making in the College of Architecture.  Joshua focuses his teaching, personal and professional work and research on developing a language of making and is specifically interested in exploring how what we make as designers and creators influences the cultures and scales we inhabit and with which we interact.  Professor Nason insists that working through progressive, iterative processes not only makes better architecture but also better architects.  Through taking risks and analyzing successes and more importantly failures we, as makers, develop an understanding of the reciprocal and symbiotic nature of our creations in relation to the “wheres” they occupy and hopefully activate.  This is the process of developing critical rigor and refined craft.  Context is essential.  Collisions are inevitable .  Connections are fruitful.
