Meet the Team
Captain
At the helm is our captain, an enthusiast and creative humanist. She brings over twenty years in the field of architecture, extensive expertise in teaching, and a flair for making the mundane into something fun.
Joy Knoblauch is an associate professor of architecture teaching history and theory of architecture as an exploration of architecture’s engagement with politics and science. She is a member of the Design Health faculty research and teaching group at Taubman College. Her first book was The Architecture of Good Behavior: Psychology and Modern Institutional Design in Postwar America, an examination of efforts to govern behavior through the environment. She is currently writing a history of ergonomics that documents moments of resistance to technologies of work, including cockpits, open office landscapes, and digital interfaces.
CYBROG
MascotGrumpy from too much overhead fluorescent lighting, too many hours on Zoom, and a cold workplace culture, CYBROG is ready to shift into a new era. Yes, the traditional spelling is CYBORG but you know, genAI gets things sorta right but not actually right. So when CYBROG was born he was sorta alright.
