post- is a prefix for after.
In a vain attempt to situate the present, post- creates media, interaction, architecture, writing and image, fully aware that everything's already happened, and one day if we’re lucky, it might happen again… Seeking to reinvent the practice and process of spatial production, post- expands the boundaries of the architectural profession to search for new ways of fostering conscious participation and environmental co-creation.
post- is Emma Silverblatt & Ryan Whitby
Ryan Whitby is a designer working across architecture, computation, and interactive art, investigating how people, machines, and materials conspire to produce space. His research embraces generative workflows, misinterpretation, and embodied participation as design tools, shaping work that bridges digital logic and physical form. Before founding post-, he led installation-scale projects around the world as a senior designer at SOFTlab. Ryan holds degrees from The Ohio State University and Pratt Institute, and teaches in the architecture department at Cornell AAP.
