Ang Li

Ang Li is an assistant professor at the School of Architecture at Northeastern University. Her creative practice operates at the intersection of architecture, public art, and critical preservation practices to explore the maintenance rituals and material afterlives behind the built environment. Through fieldwork and physical installations, her most current work investigates the material ecologies of the construction and demolition waste stream, and how collective practices of repair and reuse could give rise to situated forms of architectural knowledge.

Li’s work has been featured in numerous national and international exhibitions at Exhibit Columbus, the Now+There Accelerator Program, the Chicago Architecture Biennial, RAIR Philadelphia, and the Lisbon Architecture Triennial, among other venues. Her writing has been published in the Journal of Architectural Education, Log, Clog, Manifest and Thresholds. Before joining the faculty at Northeastern, Ang was a visiting artist at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the 2015–16 Peter Reyner Banham Fellow at the University at Buffalo. She holds a BA from the University of Cambridge and a Master of Architecture from Princeton University.
