Shelley F. Martin is Associate Professor in the School of Architecture + Design at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA. She teaches architecture studios at the graduate and undergraduate levels; theory and practice seminars relating photography, film, and drawing; an introductory architecture course for non- majors framed as fundamental lessons on form and culture; and design thinking courses to students, industry, and US Department of State International Professional Fellows. Martin’s research focuses on design education and pedagogy, and the correspondences between the means of production found in photographic images, and the qualities of material practice revealed through drawing. Grounded in both the experimental and documentary natures of photography and film, she writes on the practices of image making in architecture, and produces photographic studies and 16mm films investigating material properties and sectional dimensions of landscapes as propositions of form and shape. She is a Presidentail Global Scholars Faculty with the Honors Program at VPI&SU, a recipient of University, College, and Departmental Certificates for Teaching Excellence, received the School of Architecture + Design Lecture Course Award, and a Diggs Scholar finalist. Her work has been presented at numerous scholarly conferences, including those held at The American Institute of Architects, University of Oxford, Aarhus School of Architecture, Univeristy of Auckland, The Centre for Film Studies, Ireland; Kuwait University; Istanbul Technical University; and is published internationally.
