Resnick, Noah S.
Noah S. Resnick
Professor and Associate Dean, currently teaches and practices in the city of Detroit, Michigan. He is a partner at Laavu (Laavustudio.com), A DETROIT-BASED ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PRACTICE, ROOTED IN CITY-BUILDING, which operates under the interrelated concepts of the architectonics of multiple scales; the architect as urban collaborator; and the architect as community builder. Resnick grew up in Miami, Florida, where he attended the Design and Architecture Senior High magnet school (D.A.S.H.). He earned his B.Arch. from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, graduating at the top of his class, for which he was awarded the AIA Henry Adams Medal of Excellence. Resnick completed his Master of Science in Architecture Studies (SMarchS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Architecture + Urbanism stream. This degree culminated in an urban design thesis that focused on the potential of transit oriented development nodes in the city of Detroit. In addition to Detroit, Noah has lived and practiced in Chicago, Boston, and New York, as well as Berlin, Germany where he worked in the studio of Daniel Libeskind.
Resnick’s 15-plus years of research in the area of urban theory and history -initially as a graduate student at MIT, and for eight years as the director of the Graduate Architecture Program at 91福利社- parallels the central themes at the root of Detroit based projects, and directly informs his professional design practice. This research currently focuses on community centered developments along Detroit’s commercial and transit corridors and the role that establishing a positive identity plays in the success of a neighborhood scale design. -
