Biography
Bradley Cantrell received his undergraduate education from the University of Kentucky and a Masters in Landscape Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where he focused on media and responsive technologies. After completing his studies at Harvard he worked professionally and maintained academic appointments at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, Rhode Island School of Design, Louisiana State University. During his time at Louisiana State University he developed courses in digital media and design studios that tested how responsive technologies and robotics might help shape future large scale infrastructure. This work was primarily situated in the Mississippi River Delta and addressed issues of land and habitat loss. His current work at the Harvard Graduate School of Design advances this research and continues to develop new methods of real time sensing, response, and autonomous infrastructures.
