EXTENTS

Ann Arbor, United States
EXTENTS is a design collaborative interested in architecture, urbanism, media, digital technology, and other instruments of life. They operate across scales and disciplinary silos—from installations that critically leverage the capacities of architecture and technology to foster new forms of public engagement, to urban design fictions that speculate on how the materiality of digital culture can be deployed to create more inclusive and aesthetic environments. Established in 2017, the collaborative is led by Cyrus Peñarroyo and McLain Clutter, faculty at the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. Peñarroyo is a queer Filipino-American designer raised in the suburbs of Kansas City. Clutter is an architect who hails from a small Appalachian town near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Their roots in the American cultural periphery drive a persistent fascination with otherness throughout their work. Together, their body of work has been honored with several awards, including the Architectural League Prize (2019) and two ACSA Faculty Design Awards (2019, 2020), and has been exhibited internationally. Their book Shaped Places of Carroll County New Hampshire was published by ORO Editions.
