Known for her playful experimentation with form, representation, and materiality, Jennifer Bonner challenges architectural conventions through a design approach that is at once critical, exuberant, and deeply engaged with questions of culture and identity. As founder and director of MALL (Mass Architectural Loopty Loops or Maximum Arches with Limited Liability), Bonner advances a speculative design practice whose intentionally mutable acronym reflects her interest in linguistic, formal, and conceptual flexibility. Her work frequently addresses Southern identity, material assemblies, and collective housing, deploying a distinctive visual language that blends humor, historical reference, and regional analysis.
Bonner’s projects include Office Stack and her own Atlanta home. They have been exhibited internationally at venues including the Royal Institute of British Architects, the National Building Museum, Istanbul Modern, the Chicago Architecture Biennial, and Boston’s Rose Kennedy Greenway. Her publications include A Guide to the Dirty South: Atlanta and editorial projects such as Blank: Speculations on CLT (with Hanif Kara) and a special issue of ART PAPERS on Los Angeles architecture and design.
