Formu:LA has been conducting architectural research and experimentation since 1992.聽The work of Form:uLA recognizes + celebrates movement and makes an attempt to explore the relationship between physical environment, inhabitant, and observer. Process and methodology are the strong areas of pursuit in both Cantley’s studio and teaching approach. The studio attempts to define the solving of problems without becoming a slave to style or aesthetic convention. Having limited precedence, the work brings the association between architecture and the culture of technology into sharper focus. The approach centers on process: shape grammars, formal transformations, and Hyperspace theory.
An alumnus of UCLA, Bryan has lectured at a number of architecture schools internationally, and has taught as visiting faculty at SCI-Arc and Woodbury.
The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art purchased eleven of Bryan鈥檚 models and drawings in 2001 as a part of their permanent collection. He is also the recipient of a Graham Foundation Grant (2002) and has held a solo exhibition and served as the International Guest Lecturer at the Bartlett School of Architecture in 2008 and 2017. Cantley鈥檚 work has been exhibited at the SFMOMA, UNCC, and UCLA, among other institutions.
