Radical Craft is a Los Angeles-based research and design studio operating between the fields of architecture, art, and urbanism. Through collaborations with other specialists both inside and outside of these disciplines, Radical Craft locates and reworks the existing logics into unexpected solutions. This method of research/production takes the sensibility of craft steeped in tradition, expertise, and intuition, and injects a critical investigation into emerging technologies and typologies, creating new situations that appear both logical and novel. The founder, Joshua Stein, has taught design studios and seminars at Cornell University, Woodbury University, and SCI-Arc. He holds a master of architecture degree from UCLA.
