Current Work is a lecture series featuring leading figures in the worlds of architecture, urbanism, design, and art.
Ersela Kripa and Stephen Mueller are registered architects and founding partners of AGENCY, a collaborative, interdisciplinary practice that engages emerging publics in conflictual contexts to identify and subvert phenomena that endanger human rights. At the Texas Tech University Huckabee College of Architecture Research Center, Kripa and Mueller co-direct POST (Project for Operative Spatial Technologies), an experimental, investigative think tank that examines the connections between climate change, desertification, and urbanization as they unfold in the increasingly militarized context of the border and produces models for design research to improve urban lives.
