Reese Greenlee

Reese Greenlee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture. He teaches design studios, research seminars, and the advanced structures lecture course.

Reese’s creative work and research explores the intersection of architecture, agriculture, and infrastructure, emphasizing architecture’s entanglement with the rural. The work is characterized by an interest in transient material cultures, sartorial building technologies, and forms of agnotology in architectural–agricultural history. At these critical interfaces, architectural narratives about rural culture are reconsidered: the farmhouse and technology, the tractor and construction, the manufactured home park landscape, and the county fairground infrastructure network.

Reese received a Master of Architecture from Princeton University, a Master of Science in Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Materials from University of California, Berkeley, and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from The Ohio State University. Prior to joining KSU, he worked with MOS, Besler & Sons, and Endrestudio, where he led research and development for novel and unusual structural systems and material assemblies.
