Ruth & Norman Moore Visiting Professor of Architecture Lecture: Cory Henry
Cory Henry founded the eponymous interdisciplinary design studio Atelier Cory Henry following 14 years working with renowned architects, including Michael Graves. The son of Jamaican immigrants, and raised in The Bronx, Henry has maintained a commitment to addressing contemporary urban conditions through a combination of poetic design solutions and socially conscious ideals. He has developed a reputation as a contextually sensitive designer, with a strong dedication to generating spaces through collaborations, research, listening, and understanding of cultural narratives, contextual conditions, and values.
Henry’s background has led to a cross field approach to design through an integration of visual arts, architecture, and urban design. He has executed projects of various typologies and scales on every continent. Current projects include private residences, cultural center, education centers in rural areas of the global south, and multi-unit affordable housing. He is a MacDowell Fellow (2024), Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (U.K.), and has been recognized as an emerging force in the field, — “making strides to create a built environment that is more equitable and accessible for all” — by the National Council of Architectural Registration Board. Henry also won the National Emerging Architect category of St. Louis’ “On Olive” competition.
