The Rules of P l a y

Jerome W Haferd and K Brandt Knapp began working together in the academic context of the Yale School of Architecture’s M. Arch I Program. Due to similar interests, they have since collaborated on multiple areas of study. Landscape/Building, Nature/Environment, Frames/Territories, Performance/Gender are some of the relationships they have presented upon, undertaken in design projects or analyzed formally. In the culmination of their design education, they were partners in the advanced studio headed by architect/academic Peter Eisenman. While both are pursuing careers in architecture, the two continue to collaborate, bounce ideas off of one another, and participate in the broader architecture community of New York City. Their collaborations include writings, drawings, presentations, and built work.

Brandt Knapp (M.Arch, Yale 2010), a Baltimore native, currently works at Joeb Moore + Partners in CT after leaving the offices of Richard Meier and Partners in New York this year. She studied photography as well as architecture and has maintained a strong interest in the arts and teaching.

Jerome Haferd (M.Arch, Yale 2010) is originally from Akron, Ohio with an academic and professional background in architecture history, theory and design. These pursuits initially led him to the Beijing offices of OMA and Zephyr Architects. He now works under Bernard Tschumi at Bernard Tschumi Architects, New York.
