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.

Heather Roberge is a practicing architect and educator in Los Angeles. She is associate vice chair of the Department of Architecture at UCLA, and director of the undergraduate program in architectural studies. She teaches graduate courses in design and technology. Formerly, as coprincipal of Gnuform, she explored an architecture of effective atmospheres through a vitalist-materialist model of practice. Murmur continues these investigations, with a special focus on the spatial, structural, and atmospheric innovation made possible by emerging digital design and manufacturing techniques. Roberge's research focuses on the atmospheric implications of contemporary surfaces with particular interest in formal and material experimentation that engages the senses. Prior to co-founding Gnuform, Roberge worked at Hellmuth, Obata + Kassabaum, Davis Brody Bond, Architecture Research Office, and Eisenman Architects.
