“Foregrounding architectural illusion, Aldridge produces a delicate balance between accident and intention, structure and agency, theoretical intervention and subjective aimlessness.” - Lauri Firstenberg

Born in London in 1974, Simon Aldridge is an artist, architect, and designer. After earning a BSc degree from London’s Bartlett School, he won a Kennedy Scholarship to Harvard where he studied art and architecture. It was at Harvard’s Carpenter Center, designed and established by Le Corbusier, that he was taught to think of art and design together. His inter-disciplinary practice today merges these theories with contemporary post-conceptual culture.
