Stephen H. Kendall, PhD, is Emeritus Professor of Architecture at Ball State University and co-founder and vice president of the Council on Open Building. He received his PhD under the direction of John Habraken at MIT. Dr. Kendall’s career in architectural practice, research and education spans more than 45 years. His teaching, writing and research focus on the Open Building approach needed to make buildings more adaptable, easier to customize to meet changing preferences and thus more sustainable. His work recognizes the increasing size and complexity of projects and the dynamics of living environments, the workplace and the marketplace where design must go beyond short-term uses and where control is distributed not only during initial planning but also over time. His most recent edited books include Healthcare Architecture as Infrastructure: Open Building in Practice (2019) and Residential Architecture as Infrastructure: Open Building in Practice (2022) both part of Routledge's Open Building Series.
