Keith Kaseman is a versatile designer, production strategist, experimental technologist, and architecture educator. He has held an array of academic posts since 2004 at the University of Pennsylvania (2004-2014), Columbia University GSAPP (2005-2014), the University of Tennessee Knoxville (2014-2016), the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia | IAAC (Barcelona, ES, 2020-2022), and the Georgia Institute of Technology (2016-2023). While at Georgia Tech, Keith launched and led Spatial Futures Lab (SFL), a multidisciplinary research initiative focused on future modes of inclusive design practice enabled by interweaving emergent technologies such as mixed reality (MR), aerial robotics and advanced fabrication approaches. Keith’s design teaching and research have been exhibited in New York, NY, Venice, IT, Paris, FR, and, extensively, Rio de Janeiro, BR.

Since 2022, Keith has been actively exploring the tremendous capacity generative artificial intelligence (AI) holds to unlock, spark, and transmit design imagination. His work in AI has been exhibited in “Architecture After AI” at the University of Texas at Austin (2023) and “AI T.B.D.” at UTK SOA (2023); additionally, his short film “Promtuary_Zero” was presented at the 2023 Atlanta Sci-Fi Film Festival. Keith continues to progress with this research and experimentation through his UTK design studios and seminar, “Future ‘Flows Now!!” (ARCH 455 555); he is also part of the recently formed UTK SOA AI research group.

Keith co-founded the spatial practice KBAS with Julie Beckman upon having their design for the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial (dedicated in 2008) unanimously selected by an esteemed competition jury in 2003. Over the next decade, KBAS cultivated a diverse array of provocative proposals and advanced spatial constructs that range from permanent works of public art in Philadelphia, PA, and Salt Lake City, UT, to “TN-01”, an early large-scale 3D print in the permanent collection of Museum of Design Atlanta (MoDA, 2015) and “Grand BKLN,” a bespoke digitally fabricated building facade in Brooklyn, NY (completed 2020). Before launching KBAS, Keith was a designer and project manager for SHoP Architects (New York, NY), where he played critical roles in several of their early formative projects. Keith recently joined Sanders Pace Architects (Knoxville, TN) as a designer and special operations project manager. His most public contribution to the firm’s deep portfolio of built work to date was as a key player on the small team that designed and administered the complex fabrication, installation, and construction of the award-winning Baker Creek Pavilion at Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness Gateway Park (2024).
