Matt Conway

Matt Conway is a Lecturer in Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, California College of the Arts, and the University of Southern California. He holds a Master of Architecture (MArch I) from Harvard University Graduate School of Design and a Bachelor of Science in Design Architecture from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Conway is a licensed architect in California and Texas, and his practice focuses on computational geometry, data representations, and programming literacy in architectural design.

He co-founded Studio Imai Conway (San Francisco) and HomeMakeLabs (Los Angeles), a studio specializing in video games, interactive installations, and visualization. His work bridges architecture, computation, and interactive media, with projects like the Little Tokyo Public Art Project (2022), The Color of Air (2019), and Data Waltz (2017).

Research interests emphasize computational design methodologies, parametric systems, and the intersection of code and spatial practice. Notable publications include contributions to LOG, Thresholds, ACADIA, and UCLA POOL. His courses at UC Berkeley and USC explore representational practices and architectural design fundamentals.

Professional experience includes roles at Gehry Technologies, MAD, Behnisch Architekten, and NBBJ. He has taught at UCLA, USC, and Woodbury University, focusing on computational tools and design theory. Current research projects include 'Small Lots Big Impacts' exploring architect-developer roles and 'NeoNamek Grasshopper Plugin' advancing parametric workflows.

Notable projects include the Horizon House (2012), the 2022 Floating Architecture study, and the 2023 'Leftover Lots' urban research initiative.
