Jennifer Bonner has ambitions to disrupt the American architecture scene by focusing on bizarre concepts and southern typologies. The architectural designer talks Dezeen through six of her projects, including an Atlanta house with a jagged roofline and a property that resembles a sandwich.
Jennifer Bonner spoke to Dezeen about her design process, following the news that she received this year's Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers ? an annual prize that recognises provocative work by young practitioners in North America each year.
"The prize reinforces my trajectory to push on a highly conceptual work alongside a built project," Bonner told Dezeen.
"I have been dedicated to building in the dirty south, and with the prize being based in the east coast, it kind of helps foreground that conversation," she continued.
Bonner, 39, was born in Alabama. She attended Auburn University's Rural Studio and Harvard GSD, before going on to work in Los Angeles and in London at Foster + Partners and David Chipperfield.
In 2009, she branched out and set up her firm Mass Architectural Loopty Loops (MALL). She is currently associate professor at Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD).
Bonner has amassed a portfolio of wonderful and playful designs that portray a commitment to the American south. Read on to learn more about six of Bonner's projects:
