CCL Co-Founders

Shelby Elizabeth Doyle, AIA LEED AP is an Associate Professor of Architecture and Stan G. Thurston Professor of Design-Build. She was hired under the ISU President’s High Impact Hire Initiative to combine digital fabrication and design/build at Iowa State University. She holds a Master of Architecture degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the University of Virginia and was a Fulbright Fellow in Cambodia.

Nick Senske is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the Iowa State University College of Design. His research looks at computational software as a cultural artifact and has been presented internationally at conferences and workshops. In the past, his work has examined the most effective ways to teach computational skills in professional architecture schools, and his design work explores the physical implications of ‘craft’ in coding and scripting. Senske was previously Assistant Professor of Architecture at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. He received a B. Arch from Iowa State University and a SMArchS in Design Computation from MIT. He is currently completing his PhD in Architecture at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
