Rosten Woo creates representations of the world that are often abstract but grounded in research, photography, oral history and quantitative data. His work is characterized by an open, friendly and bright graphic quality that engages the viewer in a deeper look at a large system through materiality of books, posters, maps, events, interactive design for screens and installations. Woo received his BA in Government with Honors from Cornell University and is the co founder and former executive director of the Center for Urban Pedagogy. He is the recipient of the Curry Stone Design Prize, Seed Fund Grant for Creative Change, Headlands Center for the Arts Residency, Cooper-Hewitt Design Triennial and Venice and Rotterdam Architectural Biennales.
