“In 58 very short chapters, Jason Griffiths, a British architect who teaches at Arizona State, miraculously finds new language to describe the eternally affectless qualities of gated communities and tract housing.”

Jason’s work investigates the relationship between of popular culture and architecture. Both his teaching and creative work explore digital fabrication techniques in an innovative investigation of contemporary vernacular forms of building.
