Reina Mun

Reina Mun's work spans from individual objects to spatial constructs. She is interested in investigating affective and cognitive relationships between people and the physical medium through design computation and fabrication.

Reina holds an MS degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with her research focusing on interactivity and affective influences in the context of objecthood and critical design. She received her BArch with Honors and a RIBA Part.1 from the Architectural Association School of Architecture.

Reina currently teaches at the College of Arts, Media, and Design at Northeastern University and in the Digital+Media (MFA) program at the Rhode Island School of Design. Previously, she has been a visiting studio critic at the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. 

I like thinking through and working with physical objects. I am interested in interweaving the tangible with the intangible within the affective and cognitive dimensions, going beyond transient feedback loops. Objects transcend their material form and extend to layers of ideas and subjects that are realized through their interactions and the formation of relationships with external entities.
