Erik Hemingway

Erik Hemingway is an Associate Professor and Chair of the Detail and Fabrication Program at the School of Architecture, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His academic focus lies in modernist architecture and preservation.

Hemingway's research explores Modernist Architecture, emphasizing the preservation of mid-century homes in California and Illinois. His work includes wood structures and design fabrication, aiming to raise awareness about saving lesser-known modernist residences while highlighting their regional design importance through projects like structures by A. Quincy Jones and Mies van der Rohe.

His publications and exhibitions demonstrate integration of historical modernism with contemporary design practices. The 2015 "Erik Hemingway Modernism" exhibition and associated media coverage from Krannert Art Museum illustrate his focus on architectural preservation trends and regional design significance.
