Born in Alabama, Jennifer Bonner founded the creative practice MALL – which stands for Mass Architectural Loopty Loops or Maximum Arches with Limited Liability – in 2009. MALL’s recent work includes a single-family residence constructed out of cross-laminated timber, a mid-rise tower that resembles a sandwich, an urban development for a small lot located in Atlanta, Georgia, and a temporary installation for Boston’s Rose Kennedy Greenway. The work can be described as pictorially graphic and out of place; it playfully challenges the production of architecture through representation, materiality and colour.

Bonner is also associate professor of architecture and director of the Master in Architecture II Program at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design. A recipient of the Architectural League Prize for Young Architects + Designers, Emerging Voices Award (AIA/ Young Architects Forum) and Progressive Architecture (P/A) Award, she is also the founder and author of A Guide to the Dirty South: Atlanta, editor of Platform: Still Life, and a guest editor for ART PAPERS special issue on architecture and design of Los Angeles.
