Andrew Holder is co-principal of The LADG, an architectural practice based in Los Angeles, and an Associate Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. He is active both as a designer and a theorist of contemporary architecture. His built work and architectural proposals focus on how buildings can become actors in the built environment almost akin to human subjects.

Recent projects include a series of five houses in Los Angeles, a retreat in rural Maine, and an architectural anthropology of the Mount Washington suburbs. Andrew’s writing similarly connects architecture’s form and physical presence to its participation in a larger history of ideas, most recently in the book Inscriptions: Architecture Before Speech, co-edited with K. Michael Hays. Additional publications include essays and projects in Young Architects 16, a+t, Log, Pidgin, Project, Harvard Design Magazine, and RM 1000. He is a frequent lecturer and guest critic at institutions across the United States and has held teaching appointments at the University of Michigan, the University of Queensland, UCLA, SCI-Arc, and Otis College of Art and Design. He has received a number of recognitions, including two P/A awards, the League Prize from the Architectural League of New York, and citations from the Los Angeles chapter of the AIA.
